Re:Odin Programming Language on Saturday February 19, 2022 @09:21AM (#30397309)
I, on the other hand, am not in any way put off by someone not trying to answer every single part of a comment, when it starts out with "Odin seems like a bunch of features copied from a bunch of different languages without making sure they're (a) good and (b) consistent"!

Ah, there’s already a bbc article on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27338555

A lot of new information was released today in a collaboration between danish, swedish, german and french media. Sadly, I haven’t found a good english language article yet.

I can't imagine OpenCL in any way being involved with the rendering of the UI. Maybe you're confusing it with OpenGL?

If you're having problems making use of an eGPU (that's supported by apple, which rules out nvidia!), you should report that. eGPUs will probably be a common use case.

Yes, it's the same proof.

Re:Skylon: A Plane That Can Fly Anywhere in the World in 4 Hours on Saturday August 19, 2017 @04:38PM (#15055461)
Should be tagged as 2014. The included video interview is even older, from July of 2012.

I can't find any recent news about them. Only what they post themselves, which doesn't seem to have much concrete information: https://www.reactionengines.co.uk/category/news/

In what way does it "say it all"?

Do you feel there's a lot someone could learn about you that isn't immediately clear from your comment above? Or does it "say it all" about you?

Re:Nvidia Announces Titan Xp Graphics Card on Thursday April 06, 2017 @02:39PM (#14053290)
Regarding the new Nvidia provided mac driver, does this have any influence on Vulkan or modern OpenGL support? Or would that require changes in macOS itself (that would presumably never happen)?

Re:Ask HN: Dual monitors, or single 4k? on Sunday January 15, 2017 @02:23PM (#13405817)
I'm using a Philips BDM4065UC at home. It's just under 40", 4K at 60hz. This gives you the same pixel density as a "normal" 27" monitor, but with far more space. I prefer it over smaller dual monitors, and feel no need for more screen space.

And yes, this is an actual monitor, not a TV.

Everything seems to be back to normal now.

Re:Rust-Doom: A Doom renderer in Rust, with no unsafe code on Friday October 30, 2015 @04:18AM (#10476653)
Note that this is an openGL renderer, not a software renderer implemented in Rust. Makes it hard to compare.

If it's a cache, there is no chance of false positives.
Re:The I-JSON Message Format on Monday March 23, 2015 @12:59PM (#9251920)
That does not seem plausible. That would break a million different things. Are you sure you're interpreting your results correctly? Do you have a test case you can share?
Re:Is JavaScript getting worse? on Monday January 12, 2015 @10:32AM (#8874352)
Best of all, proper tail calls

When are proper tail calls expected to show up? Looks pretty bleak.

Re:Show HN: Album Release “8-bit” Raycaster in JavaScript on Thursday August 21, 2014 @04:27PM (#8209393)
Very nice. I got to the end (I think? I was send back to a screen with the album title), but only found about half the songs.

Re:Skylon ‘spaceplane economics stack up’ on Thursday May 29, 2014 @08:01AM (#7815749)
No, it's single stage to orbit; it's a poorly written article. It goes to mach 5.4 with atmospheric air before switching to liquid oxygen. The article makes it sound like it only ever reaches mach 5.4.

D'oh, thank you.
Re:Fat JSON on Tuesday May 06, 2014 @07:48AM (#7703841)
I must be missing something obvious. How is Tim's JWalk example different than doing:

  try { 
     var key = json_object.them.public_keys.primary.bundle;
  } ...
Is it to better allow dynamic keys? More consistent error handling?
Re:Bzr is dying; Emacs needs to move on Thursday January 02, 2014 @08:01AM (#6999390)
Rumor has it that LightTable will be open sourced very soon, but I doubt it will ever take the place of Emacs.
Re:React: Another Level of Indirection on Wednesday January 01, 2014 @10:54AM (#6995269)
That definitely belongs in an external gist or something similar. I'm surprised hacker news doesn't have a max length.
