Well, BGP and HEIC (or rather HEIF as HEIC is just the container IIRC) uses HEVC which means royalties, so unless MPEGLA were to make images using HEVC royalty free, I can't see any scenario where it would replace jpeg. Webp is royalty

I'd say the main inspiration was Bitkeeper, which is what Linus used until the free usage was withdrawn by the author.

AFAIK only part of the graphics driver is in userland, with the performance critical part still in kernel space.

Well this is on the Commodore 64, and smooth scrolling was quite easy on this machine as it had hardware support for scrolling and raster interrupts.

For me it was my big brother passing his Commodore 64 down to me as he got himself an Amiga. First it was just playing games, then doing some stuff in the built-in basic, and then following an assembly language course in a monthly magazine.

The AV1 codec was finalized last summer, I'd wager we will need a couple of years before the encoders are able to show the capacity of AV1, including getting the best out of encoding performance optimizations. As for the pirate scene,

>If we are OK with wildly different pay scales in sports because of audience preference, couldn't Hollywood claim the same? Isn't that the way it is though, movie stars are paid tons more than the rest ?

The economics of sports are dominated by one factor, the size of the audience. If women started to watch female sports in anywhere near the numbers men watch male sports then the economics would change. As it stands, women are just not as i

I believe you are talking about the 'anime' encoders, as for 'scene' releases, they are all in 8bit h264 AFAIK. Also when it comes to anime, doing a quick search on Nyaa it looks like 10bit is used on less than a tenth o
