Qt3 to Qt4 was a HUGE change. Qt4 to Qt5 is often just a recompile....

[carewolf]

On which platforms? Qt tries to scale similar to native applications on every platform. On Linux it does it's own thing because it _is_ a standard in...

[carewolf]

I like the idea that hexidecimal is the most natural notations for humans..


Don't think it is true, but I like the idea ...

[carewolf]

That is all correct.
And the reason we write BE, is because we took arab numbers from a Arabic that writes right-to-left and kept the number right-to-left...

[carewolf]

LE is superior, I see no benefits to BE. LE allows much easier and safer type-casting (the adress of an int pointer as a char or short pointer is unchanged)....

[carewolf]

Yeah, I guess so. I just like my code to correct and architecture neutral ...

[carewolf]

Heh, I will miss it though. Not that I ever had a such a CPU, but I used with QEMU to check big-endian code worked. So much simpler when you could just...

[carewolf]

Don't bother with out resident Qt troll. He always pops up into Qt threads and spouts nonsense....

[carewolf]

The STL can be faster especially for smaller data-structures (it can be cheaper to copy a few cachelines around instead of dealing with pointer indirection...

[carewolf]

My idea would be to have a full screen launcher serve as the main menu, and launch or preload the main game engine in the background. So it would be no...

[carewolf]

Almost everything only use a small percentage of the library. That's not an issue, you get a commercial license and statically link and only the parts...

[carewolf]

I expect it to RECOVER.. The problem is that Linux doesn't recover after the overcommit of memory passes. The fact that you need to run "swapoff...

[carewolf]

Well, once 15-20 years ago, P4 vs Athlon(64)....

[carewolf]

Experience after being burned by betting on OpenGL being available everywhere forever....

[carewolf]

Not really, any project with multiple executables is likely to end up linking them all in the end when the shared files are finished compiling. Another...

[carewolf]

Note the second to last comment you quoted is a correction of the other comments in that thread with a link to code for proof. So BFQ apparently does...

[carewolf]

-ftlo=jobserver.. I hope too they autodetect that as well....

[carewolf]

Meltdown and the original spectre vulnerabilities were not related to HT/SMT, and Intel did fix some of them in hardware already (though it could be on...

[carewolf]

Sometimes it is good to have less history ...

[carewolf]

This isn't just a low-power models being released early because they are high profit, these are really low clock-speeds.

And with this figuring...
