Same, except it's Word and Excel 97. I run them in an NT4 VM and the whole thing still starts faster than newer versions.

AppImages still leave traces in your home directory. If you're luck it's just a dot file or folder that can easily be deleted but I've seen some that pollute a lot more.

It may be technically space inefficient but they only added the RISC-V cores because they had area to spare. It didn't cost them much.

AFAICT donations to Mozilla aren't used to fund Firefox development.

See, if they had written FF VII in rust this exploit wouldn't have been possible. /s

Yes? How is that a problem? If you're interested in learning the RISC-V ISA, which is what I gathered from OP's post, the specific CPU doesn't matter much.

You don't need new hardware for that, you can just use qemu.

> much better quality texture mapping too Debatable. I always preferred the crisp look of the software renderer to the washed out GLQuake. Same with Quake 2. I think it because textures back then were too low resolution so filtering just

Were those benchmarks with the DX-50 or the DX2-50?

by Narishma 2y ago
You're wrong. The 486SX had a 32-bit bus, just like the DX version. The difference between them is that the DX had an integrated FPU while the SX had it disabled and you had to add a separate 487 co-processor.

Doom was developed on NeXT machines, not Windows.

Run on slow hardware or save power if you're on a battery.

> Also Firefox seems increasingly buggy -- I have had to switch to Chromium for 2 particular sites, so I guess I need to find a new browser ... Is it Firefox that's buggy or those websites that only test on Chrome?

The same thing is happening in Rust. Try to compile any random app and it pulls dozens if not hundreds of dependencies.

The PC version was funnily enough also long-lived because version 4 was too bloated so 3.3 was often offered as an alternative up until version 5 was released in the early 90s. The only major feature it lacked over 4 was that it was limited

IME, auto-vectorization is a fragile optimization that will silently fail under all sorts of conditions. I don't like to rely on it.

> Problem is, you have to take care to look at the compiler output and compare it to your expectations. Maybe fiddle with it a bit until it matches what you would have written yourself. And keep redoing that for every new compiler or ver

I don't know if it's their reason but I myself avoid them because I find them harder to read than assembly language.

What do you mean? Pretty much any SoC designed for consumer applications has some form of hardware accelerated video decoding.

I think it it's because there are too many subsystems involved in sleep/resume all being worked on as independent projects (kernel, drivers which sometimes have both kernel and user space components, init system, display server, d

They I don't see what you point was since these rules are specifically for safety critical systems written in C.

You lose when the middle columns (where new pieces appear) reach the top but with gaps in them. If there are no gaps they are cleared, the board flips and the game continues.

Yes, but this person is not involved with Rust for Linux.

This has nothing to do with Rust.

The title is wrong, it's about the recent Atari 2600+ and 7800+, not the original models.

I don't think you can conclude anything from that since a ton of UNIX systems implemented in C are also dead.

Too much white space.
