Yeah Apple are just fantastic stewards of open standards, as can be seen from the amazing job they did with OpenCL...
Still so angry at Apple and Nvidia for that.
- tombert 3y agoI mean, they've done a good chunk of contribution to open source; they're one of the biggest contributors to Cassandra, for example. I believe they also contribute a lot to the FreeBSD kernel. But I more or less agree; Apple kind of likes to "open shit up and then forget about it" a lot.

- pjmlp 3y agoActually it was Khronos, AMD and Intel that messed up OpenCL, after Apple gave it to them.
- robertoandred 3y agolol you're angry at Apple? It was Nvidia that drove the industry to CUDA.
- pjmlp 3y agoMore like Khronos, AMD and Intel failed to deliver.
