No one said AMD is virtuous. However they work hard to produce and mantain open standards that benefit everyone. The only other GPU producer is anti-competitive and anti-customer, so obviously we'll say "buy from AMD,…
"Slower and more expensive". Yes, $240 r9 290s all the time xs down to $260 at times. The former is very near the 970 and the latter overcomes in many games. Both are preferred at 1440+. A $320 970 is definitely worth…
I'm not an evangelical snob, I can forgive transgressons obviously. But we aren't talking about a company that doesn't only attack open standards. This isn't even really a moral argument anymore. If you buy Nvidia you…
I once got a Chem II lab manual, $50. And let me tell you, this was a real piece of work. The entire thing, covers and all, were printed on normal paper. It was (barely) held together by a plastic spiral ring. I get in…
White kid from the lower middle-class. 4.7 high school with all honors and graduating with an AA. Had to start almsot completely over classes-wise because of the structure of the CS degree so what should have been 3…
Wow - my degree lands me a beautiful $8k every year (2 semesters). But it gets better. I thought about improving myself in high school by going into early college. A free AA degree and at the same time as my HS diploma?…
> Similar performance characteristics (or better) than Go. Nope. It's without a doubt 100% better. The GC is brilliant and realtime with deterministic properties. The community has outperformed C++ in ray tracers and…
What in the HELL are you talking about? The thread local GC won't even produce anything on the shared heap - it's thread local. Shared memory is manual memory only - Just like C, C++, Ada, and every other manual memory…
And adding onto the other reply - Nimrod's GC has a realtime mode where you can specify when to run, and the maximum time. I made a (small) game in Nimrod and called the GC every frame for the remaining time (it can be…
