13:45 coolguy999 hello everyone
14:14 pdurbin missed him
14:15 pdurbin seemed like a cool guy too, oh well
14:15 pdurbin aditsu: did you ever find an alternative to junique? You're all about the desktop apps. :)
19:27 aditsu pdurbin: heh, it's for my editor thing, I do webapps too, I swear :p
19:29 aditsu and I didn't really find alternatives, just some articles discussing similar techniques
19:29 aditsu I have some ideas though, but I wonder if there's any good way to do IPC without sockets
19:36 aditsu I found this: http://square.github.io/tape/ but it's not very documented
20:37 pdurbin cool but I'm not sure what tape has to do with junique... sounds like nothing, you're just talking about your editor :)
20:46 aditsu pdurbin: junique has a feature where the new instance sends a message to the old instance; think of opening a new url from the command line in an existing browser window
20:46 aditsu junique uses sockets for that, but I was wondering if it's possible to use some kind of pipes or plain files or something else
20:47 aditsu in fact.. now I wonder how browsers do it :)
20:55 pdurbin hmm, yeah I dunno
20:55 pdurbin I certainly do that all the time... `firefox path/to/file.html` and it opens in my already open browser
20:58 aditsu right, and that must involve some IPC, though they might have OS-specific implementations..
20:59 aditsu I have both firefox and chromium open, and they're not listening on any TCP sockets
21:06 pdurbin I guess you could strace it.
21:06 pdurbin I kind of assume it uses sockets.
21:28 aditsu https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/inter-process-communication
21:56 mr_lou My proof-of-concept thingy is progressing nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duZHBhJu-CA
21:56 mr_lou Develop homebrew games in Java => run on Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and Xbox One. ;-)
22:21 mr_lou Well, bedtime. G'nite!
22:21 aditsu o__O g'night
