yeah, i started working on something to try and address the fact that all of the tools in this space are steaming hot garbage... after struggling to build a new language myself with various and finding it was possible, but the resulting too

if you find an interview in front of a whiteboard to be a high pressure situation where it is difficult to communicate... maybe that is the problem and something to work on. it really is the case, then you are unsuitable for work in a lot o

Consoles don’t use OpenGL.... even when they say they support it ;)

by jheriko 9y ago
Yeah it might look this way if you never used graphics APIs... truth is it has never been possible to write code against OpenGL for all platforms without extra platform specifics ... it’s also never been anything but trivial to wrap graphic

Or how far FOSS is for the rest of the world tbh ... so many 1960s practices in foss world it makes me sad :(

PCs. iPhones are very us centric ... the rest of the world dominates unsurprisingly.

When did Apple start making hardware exactly? It’s not their design at least so far ... afaik. That’s when this matters

+1. They supported it ages ago ... and OpenGL was never cross platform anyway (!)

A Mac isn’t general purpose ... or generic. It’s bespoke as hell.

Graphics programming is so painful because of these anachronisms :( the Apple gles implementation is buggy as hell. produces gpu crashes from compliant code etc... I have low expectations. they have made a new annoyance in our lives ... not

this is a very old problem, at least the quality of security and ease of getting root access when you are physically at the machine... they have /never/ done a good job of this. its not decline, its just exposure... OS X has never

glad to see the suggested fix before the exploit is to use the standard google result from "how to hack a mac" and is by design. OS X has never been secure in my experience other than through obscurity and lack of physical presenc

i've used this in practice for a number of full screen effects... e.g. if something is volumetric and you are inside of it, it makes more sense to draw two triangles than an elaborate mesh that completely bounds the player.

you could associate data with the distance field based renderer - e.g. objects at x,y,z locations... the bigger problem imo is that working with such a fancy renderer is a headache. want to render anything else in there? you'll need to

the argument about vsync and framebuffers seems mistaken. vsync only prevents partial renderers, not full renders, so disabling it does not remove latency in most cases, this article makes it sound like there is some magical way to draw dir

> Basic tasks, like file parsing, job scheduling, and text search are more involved than running a command-line utility This seems backwards. Going to the command line for these things is a horrible workflow. It’s not necessary in Linuxe

Why do we still commute? simple, naive answer, that ignores the context of the article: because to a very close approximation 0% of people on this planet work in an office at all, let alone an office where this is genuinely possible.
