I think the biggest problem is people conflating "undefined" with "unknowable". They act like because C doesn't define the behavior you can't expect certain compilers to behave a certain way. GCC handles signed

I don't need to, the tech specs speak for themselves. Maybe try reading/comparing them. This isn't reddit, take your try-hard trolling elsewhere.

That explains why it was inferior to all of the other standards specialized in the plethora of fields it attempted to handle with mediocrity.

It broadly does. With the asterisk of "rich, culturally European (and probably white)".

It's usually considered Western-adjacent. "Western" is somewhat of a biased term to limit nations to an in-group of rich, affluent, mostly culturally eurocentric/euroderived nations. If you don't fit all of the qual

Water, blends and dither transparency were always the effects I most felt diminished retro games on LCDs (or even bad CRT filters). If you play those games today on switch and the like, the experience just isn't quite the same.

About 2-3 years ago, I was writing a clone of Deluxe Paint in C/Raylib (referencing the released source code). I got about 50% done and lost my incentive. It's a big program with a lot of features and caveats, so seeing a complete

In this case, the direct memory addresses are literally needed. The addresses aren't being generated internal to the program, so there are no "handles". They are referencing external data by design. That's like saying

I'm curious, how else would you store direct memory offsets? No matter how you store/transmit them, eventually you're going to need those same offsets. The problem wasn't storing raw memory offsets, it was not having som

There was as much (more, even) pressure on the Italians and Irish to do the same. But, to add to and enforce OP's point, their cultures were a larger schism away and they instead held on and entrenched their identities (to their object

Just for clarification's sake, the proper terminology is "UEFI class" not "type". Otherwise, this is accurate.

Read. A lot. Basically, OSDev is one of the few realms you can't really take shortcuts in. It's kind of like learning Rust, in that you'll have a lot of foundational work until you get some real payoff. Unlike rust, however,

Do you actually have any experience with systems emulation, JIT/AOT compilation, Apple's x86->ARM hardware assistance that it's JIT interfaces offer, etc? Or are you just speaking off the cuff in a very general manner? Bec

BIOS is deprecated. All of its functionality on new motherboards is basically emulated via the UEFI; and it's certainly not being extended upon. Deprecated doesn't mean deleted, it just means "no longer updated/develop

Yes, that was the point. The tricks to make interpreters fast are to make them not interpreters. This one is already using just about all the tricks in the book to make a "fast" interpreter and it's performance is a drip comp

Those tricks are called compilation (whether that be AOT, JIT, or a mix of the two).

Your misunderstanding comes from a group of misinformed individuals than. Or you've made them up. Either way, you're wrong.

That's because nVidia has always had a decent support level for their Tegra chips via the Jetson program, the X1 being one of the better utilized ones. The Switch benefited greatly from that community.

Gotcha, for some reason I was under the impression that the Arcade kit or DevKit had an odd memory setup of 640mb or something like that. Thanks for the correction!

by deaddodo 2y ago
Correct, there are some applications that can take advantage because they were built only on the devkit or for the arcade configuration. I just meant to say standard Xbox software and a good chunk of homebrew will not benefit from the expan

The Switch memory expansion is probably much more useful than this, for general users. No standing software is able to utilize this memory expansion, only homebrew software specifically coded for it can. In contrast, the Switch OS manages m

I didn't mean MathML specifically was unused, just that it reminded me of other niche/auxiliary standards that have been supported, many of which have been dropped.

Whenever I see these old W3C docs mentioning old standards (MathML, in this case), it reminds me of how short-lived and little supported VRML was in browsers. I remember a scant few months were it would run in maybe Netscape? And then there
