That's great stuff! IIRC Factorio takes the same approach but relies on extensive testing to avoid running into desync issues with non-deterministic code. Would be very cool to be able to build games like that without needing to worry

This looks like what JSX compiles into. You can do the same (or similar) with React by using `React.createElement` instead of `m` (or just alias it) so you don't need JSX.

> requiring a web browser to draw a UI takes a LOT of CPU and memory What makes a browser so much more inefficient vs. other UI frameworks? Is it really the browser's fault or the website's you're visiting?

Proton is based on Wine so that's not surprising. If you're already using Steam you might as well use Proton, though.
519.
by Rohansi 1y ago
I've only ever needed to enable Proton for non-Steam games. Are there Steam games that don't have Proton enabled and need it to be manually enabled by the user? (I've only used it on the Steam Deck)

Why would you need to recompile if hardware changes? Linux manages just fine as a monolithic kernel that ships with support for many devices in the same kernel build.

Are they? IMO Windows going downhill has more to do with what is being added to it than what it is preserving compatibility for.

That's the current norm for GPUs, no? The Raspberry Pi just happens to use a SoC where the GPU is the primary processor. I wouldn't say it's worse - it's maybe slightly better but still close to par.

I don't think any of those mattered for their use case. That's why they didn't actually need S3.

Emulation is completely different to actually running a different OS on your device. The fact that you need to launch apps through a debugger to enable JIT is hilarious though. Every other platform either allows it all the time or doesn&#x2

The point is Apple isn't really helping with the problem because the weakest link is people. If you can get someone to install malicious software how much more difficult is it to have them willingly give it via phishing?

The kernel is fine, it's all that crap they keep shoving into userspace that's the issue.

Why would you want it to not support WebGPU?

by Rohansi 1y ago
If it just looks like an ordinary white square then it's not displaying with HDR. Could be unsupported or maybe disabled.

No, memory is not "unified" when you have a physically separate GPU. In that case memory is accessed through the PCIe bus which will be a significant bandwidth bottleneck. PCIe tops out at 64GB/s for 16 lanes of PCIe 5 and no

Every Unity game ships with three UI frameworks (IMGUI, UGUI, UI Elements) built-in, in addition to everything else the game engine supports, and the engine is only about 50 MB.

by Rohansi 1y ago
What could they be statically linking to have a 400MB executable?

Not just mobile games - all games made with Unity.

Another big, non-technical reason is most games make most of their money around their release date. Therefore there is no financial benefit to updating the game to keep it working. Especially not on macOS where market share is small.

And you can find high-end (PC) laptops using LPDDR5x running at 8533 MT/s or higher which gives you more bandwidth than DDR5.
