You say "separate compilation", but what you are really asking is whether Go supports forward-compatible shared libraries. Go does separate compilation, it's an extremely important property for Go. Go code can be built as a s

FWIW the beta-quality implementation of ZFS in macOS was removed only after Oracle bought Sun. Though that doesn't explain how DTrace survived. Also Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison were known to be best buddies.

Yes, and with the exception of a discontinued LG monitor, and a $4k Dell display that doesn't work on macOS, nor on Linux with OSS drivers, no external non-Apple display can provide the required angular resolution.

Please check your eyesight. I can easily tell the difference between a 220ppi and a 280ppi display when viewing text even at one meter viewing distance. 4k@27'' is only 163ppi. And my eyesight is not even what it used to be. T

> If 1600p on 13" is not Retina you need to argue this with Apple instead. It's 226ppi display. Why would it not be a retina display?

No, their 13'' screens have been 2560x1600 (226ppi) since 2012 . You are confused because the nomenclature like 1080p refers to vertical resolution while 4k refers to horizontal resolution.

Yes, angular resolution is all that matters, which is why books, which are supposed to be used closer than any screen have been at least 300dpi since we have invented phototypesetting.

Yes, angular resolution is all that matters, which is why their small displays are now 254ppi, while the iMac and the Pro XDR is 218ppi.

In my opinion, text rendering on 4k@27'' is nowhere near sharp enough. In my experience there isn't a continuum from low-dpi to high-dpi, but rather there's a sharp transition where text suddenly becomes sharp and 4k@2

Sadly it's out of production, everything you can find (if you can find it) is new-old stock. And also unfortunately, the build quality is very, very bad. But yes, better get that one while you still can! But be warned, my friend recent

No, I tried these 4k@27 inch displays, and you can enable scaling, but it looks really really poor compared to my 5k iMac. 4k at 27 inch is not retina-quality, period. This is the only reason I use an iMac, I simply can't get an equall

Sorry, but those are not hiDPI. For hiDPI, you need at least 5k at 27 inch. There was a single (!!) LG display (27MD5KL) that met that criteria, but it was discontinued. The only external hiDPI displays that exist are the Apple Pro XDR (onl
