Is divorced from any kind of practical reality, by definition.
Cease comparing apples to oranges. A sedan is bigger than a go-kart because a sedan isn't a go-kart.
- wslh 14y agoWhy it is divorced? The demoscene is related to games who have more constraints (performance, assets compression) than a OS distribution. Also the QNX demo shows a real operating system in a mush reduced scale.
- rsyncinside 14y agoI have never understood this type of backlash. I see it so often when discussing systems of reduced size (and sometimes reduced functionality). What is so offensive to you about small things? That you feel the need to make a comment like this? I don't get it. If you want to use an OS that requires 7GB to install, you can. We won't hold it against you. And you can wax poetic about it. But why is it that when someone wants to use a small system it causes people to make these sort of backlash comments? The ironic thing here, with this example, is that demo scene actually accomplishes feats I have never seen done on larger systems. To use your analogy, the go-kart is able to do things, impressive things, the sedan doesn't do. Surely the sedan could, but it doesn't.
