Alder Lake sounds great and promising, but it also sounds like something Intel should have had a decade ago already. By the time Intel got Alder Lake...

Documents can also look different on Windows and Linux because Microsoft Office creates documents with the Segoe typeface which is Microsoft's own proprietary...

Wow, ZFS, nice, I had no idea that NetBSD had support for things like that, I thought it was a shit Os, next thing you telling me they got Wayland?

[uid313]

I didn't know about these features in C++.
No, this is different than const, I meant when you declare a variable and you pass it into a function...

[uid313]

Yeah, pretty much that, because 3 is bigger than 2.
I don't know much about cryptography either....

So basically this guy Theo de Raadt founded NetBSD and the other devs were bitching and whining, so he left them and created OpenBSD which became great...

Looks like shit.
Seems like RISC-V or ARM would be a better choice any day.

[uid313]

No, I cannot. But I heard people praise ARMv8 saying how clean it is, how modern it is, how great it is, how effective it is.
And that while ARMv7...

Besides Zink progressing nicely;

• llvmpipe and nvc0 are 2 extensions away from moving from OpenGL 4.5 to 4.6 support.
• Freedeno (Qualcomm Adreno) is

Yes, but ARMv8 is nothing like the old ARM. It is still called "ARM" but its only in name, the ARMv8 is very different from ARMv7 and earlier...

The POWER10 processors are based on the Power ISA 3.1 instruction set which was released in May 2020, but how modern is the Power ISA 3.1 instruction...

Any chance this coming to Haswell?

So when does Rust gets standardized and included as part of GCC and LLVM?
