But with so much memory available on modern systems, the benefits of optimizing makes les and less sense. It is often not worth the effort.

Ok so the real explanation is that Windows 7 will not support the new Intel chip. Not the other way around.

I agree. Nontheless, modern cpus are nonetheless designed to be acceptably good at different things (versus being extremely efficient at solving a specific task).

I'd say modern CPUs are not optimized for anything in particular. They are simply okay at doing general purpose stuff. Anything more specialized exists in the form of DSPs GPUs, etc..

Things are changing tho, some modern FPGAs can be configured by writing to some SRAM, making the process of configuring much quicker. Somen vendors even provide an OpenCL API/SDK with which you can express your algos at a higher level

Even the NDK API isn't reliable. For example, some Samsung devices don't implement the complex number functions from libm. And there is no way to know this in advance (beside checking if symbols are defined on a specific device)

Ok, but it still doesn't make sense to use flags here, because according to your definition, a shattering window is always shattered. Anyway, I don't think it's worth arguing design on this codebase because it is full of dirt

The perfect example of everything I try to avoid. I'm really surprised to see this type of coding in a triple A grade engine. What can be the rationale behind writing this [1] ? [1] https://github.com/CRYTEK-CRYENGINE&

We've been there already in the 90s, and it was too expensive [1]. Has the technology changed that much ? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissmetro

Thanks god no :) That would be really slow and painful. It is a translation layer, not an emulator.

IMO, it looks like the API carries alot of heritage. It clearly contains 'layers' fo crap with different design patterns that were added over time. They should simply make a new one.

As you said, it is two different things. I take the train everyday. For me, travelling by train for < 4h trips to a city sounds like a good deal. It is generaly a smoother experience than taking a low-cost flight. But, I realize it reall

IMO, "not a crime" doesn't mean it isn't reprehensible. The article doesn't go into details unfortunately.

AR and VR should become one, and hardware shall be fully untetherd, extremely powerful and energy efficient. A long way to go, but we'll be there eventually :)
