Am I interpreting the graph on their page all wrong? It looks like the older version of Proton provides better performance? Unless they're graphing function call return time? The graph and the text around it doesn't do a good job of explaining that.
- GranPC 7y ago4.11 is newer than 4.2
- geddy 7y agoI have no idea why this took me so long to realize. Must be the versions I'm used to seeing but my brain parsed `4.11` as `4.1.1`. Weird. Thanks for pointing out the obvious for those of us who missed it!
- falcrist 7y agoYou parse it the same way I usually do. As a decimal fraction, 4.2 > 4.11... however, version numbers aren't decimal fractions. In any case, you're not alone.
- belltaco 7y ago4.11 is 9 versions newer than 4.2
- sjwright 7y agoThe thing to remember is that version numbers aren’t decimals. They’re two or three integers separated by periods. 11 is higher than 2.
- kleer001 7y agoHarumph. Then it should be padded with zeros. So, 4.002 and 4.011 /grumpy edit: nope, it's fine as is. my experience in frame numbers, dates, and so forth do not scale to releases
- wiml 7y agoDates are the same, though — 01.15.2018 is not a real number, it's a sequence of integers. (And in many places they're not even written in most-to-least or least-to-most significant order! …I guess that makes it a tuple, not a sequence.)
- golergka 7y agoBut why? You don't know how many decimals you'll need in advance - three digits isn't enough for Windows build number, for example.
- kinleyd 7y agoSome years ago I thought so too. Now I'm just used to it.
- wongarsu 7y ago4.0.0 (semver) and 4.0.0.0 (Windows) aren't valid numbers anyways; The confusion can only arise on X.Y version numbers. Just add a .0 at the end of those
- rimunroe 7y agoI don't know what the source of this convention is, but this is why I was taught that the version "1.2.3" should be read aloud as "one dot two dot three" instead of "one point two point three". The idea is that people--where I'm from at least--tend to read decimals as "point" and not "dot".
- sjwright 7y agoYes, sadly the proliferation of the "two point oh" meme has set society back on that front. (Had we the opportunity to start over, I would have proposed different punctuation for the delimiter to avoid natural confusion with decimals.)
- notabot 7y agoThe graph is likely showing Frames Per Second (FPS). The higher the better.
- msaadat 7y agoGraph seems to be FPS
