yes, apple went from having an obsolete version of opengl (therefore unusable if you want to experiment with modern graphics code) to a proprietary api (therefore unusable if you want anything to do anything that is cross-platform), well done

also, maybe people can post more screenshots and this discussion can be moved elsewhere

fake edit: an obsolete version of opengl seems like something Luigi Thirty could use

wtf that's incredible
It is insane, yes. If you look at Turbo now it looks extremely wonky though, the perspective doesn't look remotely correct.

For the time it must've been pretty mind-blowing though.

just curious like what do you guys do with old computer once you’ve booted into the os and gone thru the menus ..
I'm currently building a 6502 assembler in rust (and formatter and IDE plugins...sigh). growing up we had a c64 and wanting to write my own games got me into programming. actually _doing_ 6502 coding with all the janky cross-platform toolchains frustrated me so much i embarked on this project. still mostly useless, of course.

i for one welcome our HDR overlords

i mean, i'm not sure if i need 16 bits of colour but i definitely appreciate going above 8

same goes for 4K

if resolutions and colour depth stays the same it would still be fine if we'd get the file sizes down some more

I'm writing my own 6502 assembler and code formatter. At the point where it works and I am now focusing on a visual studio code plugin to do highlighting, go to definition and so on. Most of that is up and running as well but I'm enjoying myself trying to get the vice emulator hooked up so you can do debugging, set breakpoints, etc

In 2014 I set up a Xeon server with VMware ESXi running FreeNAS as one VM (with the raid controller passed through to that VM) and another VM for all Ubuntu and docker stuff. Has also been rock solid all that time. Had to replace a failed drive in the ZFS pool once but that too went swimmingly.

Pile Of Garbage posted:

why didn't you just install FreeNAS in an OS on the server instead of putting a hypervisor in the middle?
FreeNAS wanted to be installed as a separate "appliance", i.e. be the only thing running on the server. At least the version I used (FreeNAS 9).

Also, Docker and other containerization wasn't really widespread at that time so I figured having VMware in between would allow me to mess up virtual machines without too much risk. And mess them up I definitely did, so it was really handy to just be able to throw out a VM and reinstall a new one.

yes, i concur with this recommendation. the duplicati ui is a bit poo poo, but once it's running it just keeps on truckin' with pretty decent performance.

there are a *lot* of wheels to reinvent, and if you don't look at previous art there's a lot of failures to get through first
