I may be remembering things wrong but I thought the reason the Pentium Pro didn't sell very well was its price rather than its performance.

I have a bunch of machines that only support DX9/GL2.1/GLES2.0/WebGL1 that I'd like to target. I'm currently using Unity for that.

And wasn't K&R function definition syntax removed in the latest C standard anyway?

Are there any plans to support WebGL 1 in Bevy?

Scrolling is super laggy though on my laptop. It takes 5 or 6 seconds to scroll a page.

The Arabic in that pic is even more broken. It's written in the wrong direction and the letters aren't connected correctly.

The PS4 (and probably PS5 as well) use x86 chips but are not PC-compatible.

I think it's older than that going by this quote from the first chapter. > The Lisp development systems on both my Mac and my PC run comfortably in anywhere from 4 to 8 megabytes of RAM. Less in a pinch. The integrated C++ developme

I think the 286 was designed way before any of that was a consideration. It was first released in 1982, just a couple of months after the IBM PC.

Not always better. A 30 fps game that you can play twice or three times as long before having to recharge the battery may be better.

Or a bad time if, like me, you only had a 286.

That's a terrible comparison. Windows 2.x ran on much cheaper and weaker hardware. It required only 512KB of RAM and ran comfortably in 1MB while the smallest amount Next computers came with was 8MB.

That's entirely subjective. I vastly prefer the Playstation controller layout myself.

Spiderman 2 will probably come on PC in a few years.

KDE tried something like that in KDE 4 but it wasn't well received so they toned it down in KDE 5.

Is that only the case in Android?

Not yet.

It's useful to check if you dumped your discs correctly.

How is that lighter weight than a simple win32 app?

KDE is anything but opinionated. You can pretty much change anything you want in it.

Firefox is not wildly successful. I think you misunderstood the comment.

The Apple II also had an open design years before the PC.

You could use it with a 320x240 framebuffer and just scale 2x vertically when rendering.

Early Windows version worked like that too.

I don't think you can disable it anymore in recent versions of Windows unless you install another AV software.

There's a separate 387-page report for that.

It already started with 8.

The reason you're not seeing much difference is that your struct is very small, just 16 bytes. In the cases where you're using both x and y in the loop (x1 and x2), you can fit 4 of them in a cache line and you're not wasting
