I think then we are in agreement that it is /feasible/, then? I imagine an FPGA in every chipset would go a long way towards writing the software to put them to practical use, though that may also be wishful thinking on my part.

On the contrary, given a capable compiler and/or language, translating algorithms into hardware sounds extremely feasible to me.

50x isn't unreasonable if you can parallelize and/or pipeline a rigidly-defined process, cutting out as much memory and cache accesses as possible. With the right programming model, 50x seems very, very reasonable, not even magica

Some people I know previously asked this question to one of the Swift developers. I believe the reasoning was along the lines of (very liberally paraphrased/interpreted): Even aside from the problem of bootstrapping the compiler's

What makes you think so? Out of all of the art that is done I am pretty sure only a portion are a hook for a Kickstarter or marketing material.

libdispatch is more than just programs submitting blocks to queues – dispatch sources and event handlers can handle channels of asynchronous input as well.

(As I've developed for both platforms, I think I have some standing to say this) Hold on, it's not that we don't want to build cross-platform apps, at least not universally. In my case, it's because I believe the contort

Ah, but the iPhones actually already use Sony sensors. One key difference between its sensor and the NEX/Mirrorless Alpha cameras is sensor size and the lens optics, which is why one might say there isn't much difference to make u

Here's my anecdata: DK1&2 owner. I felt the same, but the Crescent Bay demo blew me the heck away. More amazing than experiencing the DK1 for the first time. Then, recently, I tried the Oculus Touch demos. For an hour or so afterwa

I'm pretty certain AMA disasters do not qualify as fireable. And firing the facilitator with a history of good AMAs for that reason is hardly an appropriate remedy even if that is so.

What's wrong with being written in C++? It's a high-level, fast language with higher-level abstractions and better typesafety than C and decades of expertise built up around it. Sure, that means it has some legacy bits that need t

Harassing people and subreddits whose moderators encouraged and supported harassment go well beyond just "politically incorrect".
