WasmGC is not really what you think it is. Think of it as a full-on replacement for the linear memory model, not as a way to add GC to it. It's exceptionally difficult to port a language runtime over to WasmGC -- it doesn't even

Eh. Take a look at other state-sponsored attackers. We know they have 0-days for iOS, we know they've been used, but even Apple doesn't know what they are since they are so good at hiding their tracks. I don't think a state-s

What are you confused about? I'd perhaps say that you'd have the same confusion with any other API. Your confusion is perhaps about unlearning OpenGL rather than learning WebGPU.

The optical pathway is pretty much locked in. LEEP was invented in the 80s, and that's still the optical system used today. Compare the size to NASA's VR system from the early 90s. https://images.nasa.gov/details&#

No, it's not the client's job to draw the cursor. The client provides a surface, the same kind of thing as any other window, and asks for it to become the cursor. The client draws into the surface, but the placement and drawing of

Any diagram by ScotXW on Wikipedia is somewhere between misleading and completely wrong, and they're a constant pain on the Linux graphics community. If you're curious about the details in this case, ScotXW confuses EGL and OpenGL

HTTP already has a method for redirecting the client if they use an out of date URL. Three of them, in fact.

The context here is that someone new randomly showed up on the xorg-devel mailing list, and started asking a ton of questions about the codebase, which has lead to a couple of cleanups. I wouldn't read too much into it. https:/&#

If you didn't know, this was primarily a tax dodge for the EU. Since it ran Linux, they felt they could classify the PlayStation 2 as a general-purpose computer, which receives a lower tariff rate than game consoles. PlayStation 3 had

PixiJS is the easy problem, blitting a bunch of premade textures to the screen. The much harder problem is getting curveTo() and text and gradients and strokes, etc.

I'd be very skeptical about that. I work in the game industry, and while our 3D renderers are very good, I have not seen a 2D UI renderer I would feel is at all competive. What are you using for path and pattern rendering?

The brain solves it by noticing where two solid polygons overlap. In that sense, you could also find the collision by rasterizing both shapes and testing whether any pixels overlap, but that's going to be slower and less precise than a

CRTC planes and scanout-time compositing makes sense, and Wayland compositors do use them, even for non-cursor surfaces. It's simply not something an application can use general-purpose and guarantee (though see the recent GtkSurfaceOf

The most viable approach these days is for 2D is to use the 3D hardware. There's no standard, usable API for 2D accelerated drawing the way there is for 3D, nor does it quite make sense for there to be one. (No, OpenVG is not viable. N
