Fuchsia was not meant for just embedded devices. I recall there being a sentence in an old description (which I can no longer find mention of) which explicitly called out PCs and smartphones as targets. That’s likely still the ambition.

You’re referring to Raph Levien’s work on Xi [0]. Not really just a vim clone. In Fuchsia, iirc, it would have been the basis of all text editing services. If nothing else, it seems to have popularized rope data structures [1] for newer tex

Often better to do the conversion then immediately call a non generic inner function. This prevents the rest of the logic from getting monomorphized. It’s a pattern you’ll notice in std.

The Jelly 2 is also quite a bit faster. The 2e is slow enough that I wouldn’t expect it to be a great experience for most people.

I think mkbhd (a tech reviewer) may have made a video on that.

Am I missing something, or does this not really account for alignment? Is the compiler doing smarter loop splitting?

by skavi 3y ago
Rec.709 actually defines a peak luma of 100 nits. sRGB has it defined as 80 nits. These numbers are really only for mastering, but as you push further from the standard you start to see artifacts, namely banding in gradients. HDR standards

1-to-1 isn’t entirely true right now. sonicBOOM includes a feature called short forwards optimization which can turn certain branches into flag setting ops (and make the former branch shadow predicated). So one instruction always produces o

How do people deal with isolating system specific config in Nix? Like stuff for a particular graphics card?

To be fair, the M1 is now approaching 3 years of age. And the game is being emulated.

not really rumors, but also not necessarily true. the performance cores on consumer intel parts no longer have AVX-512 enabled. This is because it’s tough to implement on the smaller efficiency cores, and scheduling is more annoying with he

Skylake X was one of the first platforms with AVX-512. Everything since Icelake has been fine.

It’s interesting that it looks exactly like a ThinkPad’s, with the concave keycaps and red trackpoint/buttons. If it feels the same, that’s a very good thing.

Geekbench generally lines up with SPEC, the industry standard. (at least for consumer stuff)

I assumed the donation was suggested if you wanted to use the code that they were releasing. The donation form was within the Code section.

The original Mac was BW and didn’t do the same level of animation. Of course a snappy interface is always more important than visual flair, but I imagine this is more a tech demo than anything else.

by boom core, do you mean the latest “sonic boom”?

This is something that can be done tastefully. But that takes skill. A boring interface is far better than a poorly done “juiced” one. I think my favorite bit of juice is iOS’s rotation animations. Particularly when they have a bit of extra

Intel integrated graphics has been at least competitive with AMD's since Ice Lake. If you include the older parts with eDRAM, they've been pretty solid for a while.
