Nah, one of the reasons Windows retained its popularity even through ME, Visa, and 8 were because of compatibility. People will prefer an inferior experience...

[schmidtbag]

Is there some reason they can't just use the Windows OGL+OCL drivers? I feel I must be misunderstanding something here because it seems a little too...

[schmidtbag]

I think there could be if there was better compute support....

[schmidtbag]

I hate this argument. Just because something is open source, that doesn't mean you're able to contribute. Even when something directly affects you, that...

[schmidtbag]

I guess there was a reason for my uncertainty. But, isn't a software solution used to assist the r600 drivers in OpenGL features it doesn't have/support?...

[schmidtbag]

Although I understand this is mostly meant to be a failsafe/fallback option, I think these software rasterizers need stuff like OGL4.x the most, since...

[schmidtbag]

Ah, the theme song to that game was great....

[schmidtbag]

I don't really see the problem. If push comes to shove, you can run an EFI on a legacy system - that's how Hackintoshes work on legacy systems.

[schmidtbag]

I generally agree; I don't like modifying code in a foreign language because it's easy to screw something up. But, modifying PHP code is how I learned...

[schmidtbag]

Yeah, and? You can make grammatically correct sentences in English that makes no sense either. Doesn't mean you can't make sentences that are easier to...

[schmidtbag]

No, I'm defining powerful in terms of compute performance and overall capability.

Although in a human legibility standpoint shorter is better,...

[schmidtbag]

Whose definition? I find C and Java easier to read than Perl and they sure as hell are more powerful. Although this is hardly comprehensive, Perl is the...

[schmidtbag]

That's a double-edged sword. The shortcuts may be great for those who know the language, but that's also it's greatest weakness to anyone who doesn't...

[schmidtbag]

Well, I don't love peanuts, and monkeys tend to sling crap for no good reason....

[schmidtbag]

There was someone who used to write everything in Perl at my workplace. Such a PITA, since unlike languages like Python, PHP, Ruby, Javascript, shell...

[schmidtbag]

I said dying not dead....

[schmidtbag]

What about ARM64? Although there's absolutely nothing wrong with the optimizations made, 32-bit ARM is now a dying breed. I figure any future 32-bit...

[schmidtbag]

What's the difference between that and ad-hoc?...

[schmidtbag]

First of all, don't necropost. You're over a year late to respond.
Second, no: I want it to be secure and as fast as it was advertised to be. ...

[schmidtbag]

Like I said, there are reasons X11 is better. I don't fault anyone for using it, I fault people who wrongly attack Wayland or have a superiority complex...
