Considering UE4 and Unity both support OpenGL, yes, a lot if not the majority of games. WebGL and OpenGL ES are pretty much OpenGL. Formally they are different standards, but they are based all in OpenGL: if you know one, you know the other

Thanks!

AMD has always lacked tools and has never produced much on the software side. That is not news, and that has nothing to do with the state of OpenGL. Please, stop spreading misinformation about OpenGL.

OpenGL does not stop being cross-platform just because it does not work natively in 1 platform. In any case, abstraction layers for macOS already exist. And, going by your definition, if Apple only allows Metal, then no API will be cross-p

That profiler is meant for low-level debugging as its own description says. That is why it does not support DX11 either.

You are conflating language/build issues with VCS issues. Everything you discuss also applies to multirepo, but worse, because there no one enforces consistency across all the project and you will end up with a broken interdependency.

A lot of games and apps are being released using OpenGL today . Then there is WebGL and OpenGL ES, widely used everywhere too. So, no, it is not going anywhere. In fact, Khronos themselves have said so.

by gdxhyrd 7y ago
Apple is not Khronos. They haven't supported OpenGL for years anyway, so the fact they deprecate it now is irrelevant.

In almost no situations you want to have software, pixel-based access. Are we really going back 30 years?

Where is this all being discussed and developed?

POSIX, SDL and the usual suspects are pretty much cross-platform and run everywhere.

by gdxhyrd 7y ago
Eh, no. Vendors everywhere will package things for your architecture and give you binaries. That is how it has always been done and is still done. Yes, you can do it differently with an IL, but that isn't new either (Java, .NET, etc.).

No, OpenGL is not "on the way out". Please back up your claims.

You are right, I was thinking of CVS. In any case, with SVN you usually do not want to give write perms to everyone in all the tree, so you end up with effectively partitioned spaces, or you make several repos instead, or you put another la

What? I don't understand what that means. A monorepo is just 1 repo. There is nothing more straightforward than that.

It depends on what you are trying to do. Most of these benchmarks are not done to predict performance in a target machine, but to find out which is faster.

by gdxhyrd 7y ago
You are speaking as a stats person. :) While there are dozens of things that can go south in benchmarking, how to solve them is not about applying advanced stats, but about understanding and eliminating the sources of noise. Most benchmarks

Not really, because commits don't go across the entire SVN, which is what makes monorepos so powerful.

by gdxhyrd 7y ago
What problems did you encounter with just a few services? Monorepos should be straightforward unless you are managing the code of >1k engineers.

by gdxhyrd 7y ago
No, ML works fine with large output spaces too. The problem is that the solution space grows super exponentially, and if you need to find an exact one, then the number of samples too.

Thanks a lot for this. I never understand why Mozilla doesn't allow to enable this in the settings.

Wait, what? So you think a kernel is large and has to be counted in the total, even if a browser also requires a kernel. Yet you think web apps don't need libraries, so you are not even counting the browser and its dozens of libraries?

How is React or hooks "full FP"? I think we have wildy different definitions of FP.

Apple should not have that kind of power, though. They have been wrong before. Instead, the scrutiny and investigations should be public so that the developer can defend themselves.

Kind of, yes. Nowadays (for almost 20 years actually), Windows supports and encourages programs to deploy their dependencies in their own folder. It is trivial to do for developers and works perfectly for users. Some people claim security u
