There's plenty of reasons for it. For one, OpenGL is arguably a crap API. For another, even with billions of dollars resources are scarce. It's extremely hard to find graphics programmers that want to work on drivers vs work on ga

Sometimes I wish the popular programming languages had been invented by people who's written language had no concept of UPPER and lower case. There's so much cruft in code bases because of it. A conventions include kUPPERCASE for

The problem is almost never that the CSS you wrote has a syntax error. The problem is almost always the CSS with no syntax errors you wrote isn't doing what you wanted it to do. The browser doesn't know what you wanted it to do so

it upsets me because they are the only library of 100s I use that do this. They consciously break things every month. they don't give a fuck how many man hours it burns of other people's time. No other project I know of does this.
