   When you look at the amount of effort that's gone into SPIR-V you'll only have one conclusion to this question.

   Well, I guess you know all this but you've asked me to elaborate. So, in terms of compatibility you have: DX12: Windows only. Metal: macOS/iOS only. Vulkan: cross-platform and cross-vendor. Windows 7/8/10, Android, Linux

   Yes, for Apple... For the consumer? I don't think so. As a consumer, the mobile device market is a walled garden. Are apps compatible between platforms? Do you have control over your hardware? Can you choose what software you run on yo

   I'd argue that Vulkan IS designed for adversarial input. It deliberately provides a layer mechanism within the driver for validation of function calls. It's trivial to create your own layers and they can be used to validate EVERY

   Those are pretty subjective assertions. Do you have any evidence to back that up?

   A quick google finds an Intel representative providing clarification: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/developing-games-and... So, they ARE planning full Vulkan support on Intel iGPUs.

   Care to back up those assertions with real world evidence?

   I think what you are going to find is that there is a lot of frustration w.r.t. Apple not supporting Vulkan. One system for everything else and one system for Apple. > I think you are wrong on that. Vulkan is a low-level native API, not

   If Apple supported Vulkan, all major platforms would support the same API. Exposing this to the web would be relatively straight forward. So, I don't think your assertion that they are orthogonal goals is correct.

    It's not perfect, but teapot tries to address the first two points (cumbersome to make a new project and cross-platform builds). http://teapot.nz

    That's a reasonable opinion. But it doesn't need to take out a tank to be effective against infantry and moral.

    Yes, but one is written by a developer, and one is written by a user. That's a pretty big difference, IMHO.

    Uh, so, systemd don't recommend to use `sudo systemctl start blah`. Their idea is to use `systemctl start blah` and have polkit handle the authentication. Not sure what's unclear here.

    by ioquatix 10y ago

    Let's say you write some authorisation code using JavaScript. If it contains a syntax error, or a logic error your authentication is broken for your entire system. Checking the correctness of a program is usually non-trivial, but I acc

    Well, since this was the recommendation from one of the polkit contributors... I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Perhaps you can enlighten me with your wisdom.

    Did you know that polkit, the systemd replacement of sudo, uses JavaScript to validate permissions? This was the response: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2016-De... systemd is a bomb waiting

    For something just as awesome but a fraction of the price take a look at MikroTik/RouterBoard Hex GR3 and wAP AC.

    Since when did arguments become functions? db.replicate.to('http://example.com/mydb'); IMHO, should be db.replicate(to: 'http://example.com/mydb');

    Is it just me, or does this seem like a solution looking for a problem? Especially the verbose way the ORM works... just seems overly complex without actually solving any real problem I had with ActiveRecord.

    GPL seems like a poor choice of license given the way the library would normally be used. What about switching to MIT?

    This is used by OpenSCAD for building meshes from boolean operations. It's awesome, but a bit slow if you do anything complex.

    If you think of time like a mathematical vector, the length of that vector can never be negative.. it's always >= 0.. sure, though, in 1D, encoding the direction of that vector as +ve or -ve is pretty convenient.
