Because they aren't?
now that multiple c to j.asm compilers exist, and of course any language really can do this. why not just move a javascript interpreter into the kernel and forget native code entirely
it's the most popular language with the most powerful modern oop opensource codebase.
portability would be solved forever and we can really do what we've been flirting with for years now, this is obviously what we need
browsers are the portal to 90% of average users programs, this can finally end this and make the computing world make sense.
>"Mozilla's benchmark from December 2013 showed significant improvements: "Firefox with float32 optimizations can run all those benchmarks at around 1.5× slower than native, or better."[7] Mozilla points out that the performance of natively compiled code is not a single measure but rather a range, with different native compilers (in this case Clang and GCC) delivering code of differing performance. "In fact, on some benchmarks, like Box2D, FASTA and copy, asm.js is as close or closer to Clang than Clang is to GCC. In one case, asm.js even beats Clang by a slight amount on Box2D."[7]"

Because then nothing would be fast.
>Your media player, system libraries, display server, graphics libraries, etc, all written in Javascript
No thanks.
>>59715788
they could be written in C and compiled into javascript baaka
you could keep using the same software you use now if its opensource, infact it might even be faster thanks to software vs hardware based memory privacy
More specifically, why there was "no apps"?
Because Microsoft tried to push their way into an established market that had no need for them. They didn't do anything particularly better than the competitors, and almost everyone was already invested in an existing ecosystem in some way. Windows Phone was doomed to failure from the start.
they tried to intrude in a saturated market where their only marketing strategy is saturation
There was no need for it. iOS and Android were already established. Windows Phone offered only two things (let's just ignore WP7 like everyone else did):
- Very good performance even on the cheapest phone (Lumia 520)
- Well designed, intuitive UI
But what does it matter? It didn't take long for cheap Android phones that aren't total shit to depreciate cheap WP offerings. And if you were planning on investing more, WP was a waste due to lack of functionality. Developers didn't extend money and effort into developing for it because it wasn't established enough to justify the cost. And it wasn't established enough because there was a lack of popular apps. It's a vicious circle.
why do internet browsers suck so much in 2017 and getting worse??
the web is moving too fast and in a shitty direction.
browsers are pretty phenomenal code, it's just all the shitty pajeet javascript they have to run
you must've not tried chromium

Why devs do this?

What's that, you wrote a computer program, made a little website, you uploaded some videos to Youtube? Well, let me take this opportunity to congratulate you, the monkey learned a trick. Look at you, uploading comments. You're already spewing your vile filth all over the computer, huh? Congratulations! You must have an IQ in the double digits!
Here's a little piece of advice. The next time you're gonna unload your jealousies and inadequacies online, here's a little piece of advice. Here's a little piece of advice, slick. Next time you're gonna go on the computer (mommy and daddy bought you a new computer!), you're going to unload your jealousy and inadequacies on somebody else, on a stranger? Just make sure you don't pick Sam Geno, the son of the Papa Geno Pizza empire. I've bought people like you. I've destroyed people like you. It's nothing for me to call up my father, and have every pizza jockey in the nation have a photo of you, right above their oven. Thinking about you, my personal army of pizza makers.
They'll put sauce on you. They'll lay you out. Swing you around in the air just like in the old movies.
Then they'll destroy you. Piece by piece. Piece by delicious piece. Cheesy piece by cheesy crusty piece. They'll destroy you.
That's option one. Option two is you can apologize to me. Just say you're sorry. Takes a big man to apologize, don't it? Humble yourself before a god, a pizza god?
Anyway. That's about it. Go fuck yourself.

Nvida's drivers are fine, guys, really.

TITAN XP LOSES TO A FURY X!
>>59715441
From the youtube video, the TitanXP is sitting at some 50% usage, at full load it's a good 50-60% faster than a Fury X.
Driver issue, a real big one.
Great show Nvidia.
I can't believe Nvidia can't even get their drivers working for 720p CPU testing
I didn't want to buy AMD but since I'm a poorfag third world shitskin, I have no other choice.
My options are RX480 8gb or a used R9 390X or someshit. Should I pull the trigger? I game on 1440p and do some OpenGL programming. Also, since my PSU doesn't have 8pin, will an adapter work?

>I didn't want to buy AMD but since I'm a poorfag third world shitskin
>poor third world shitskin
>poor third world
>Plays at 1440p screen
I don't understand, if you are so poor, why don't you buy a 1080p monito with 470? 1440p without a 1070 performance is trash.
>>59715293
I think you're a poor third worlder because you buy expensive as fuck hardware without considering your other options.
Get the 480. Considering your a poor third worlder, you probably don't need higher electricity bills. Let alone you're probably not supplied enough electricity.
>>59715750
1070 is JUST outside my range. The prices haven't droped after 1080 Ti yet and I'm tired of waiting since I can't use my PC because my last card died.
>>59715819
What are my other options please tell me?
1) Your cunt
2) Do you hoard?
3) Are you running out of hard drive space?

Is /g/ literate enough to even use this thing,let alone build something similar?
>>59715205
Ah I've seen this before. It's pretty cool, but I hope nobody uses it.
>>59715205
I can write a simple emulator (Chip8, whatever) but can't really be bothered to 'complete' it. When the fun part is done I just don't care anymore about more memory management quirks, esoteric system calls and all that.

xps 15 or 2015 rmbp for productivity?
Need a mobile workstation
They are both good enough to not hurt your productivity in any way.
Just get whichever one you like the looks of best.
Or decide based on your os. For windows get xps 15 for mac get mbp for gnu/linux get xps15 developer edition
stupid not to buy the spectre x360 imho

>there are people on /g/ right now that use a 32bit OS
i use win98 ironically
my computer uses haven't changed at all since moving from 32 to 64
not like i use or need floating point that are 64bits.
just the web has gotten shittier in that time, so you need 6gigs of ram to use the internet.
>decided to format my old shitty pentium dual core laptop
>realizes its cpu actually have a 64bit instruction set
I have a number of older programs that don't work on anything newer than XP, and I would like to have a fresh install on and old XP era machine. But I can't find a legit, non system restore disk anywhere? Am I just out of options? Sorry if this had been done to death, I usually stay on other boards.
You can burn installer from the net, sounds like you have activasion key. Also craiglists
>>59714927
1. go to le pirate bay
2. search for "windows xp msdn"
I saw a few good choices there. Or just grab POS ready 2009.
>>59714955
I have the key on the bottom of the machine, would that only work for OEM?
>>59714991
How likely am I to get shit from the cyber poice about that? Also, sorry to be that guy, but POS ready 2009?
kwin is broken atm
If you're using a rolling distro, don't upgrade to
KDE 5.32.0 / Plasma 5.9.4
opengl rendering is broken (possibly caused by libglvnd)
window decorations and task switcher [alt+tab] is broken. Titlebars are usable although transparent and task switcher doesn't render properly.
Anyone having similar issues? what about manjaro/kde users?
just werks
>>59714837
Works for me OP. Try deleting your dot files and then restart your display manager. Also, you could try messing with the compositor settings. (Try the different rendering settings like xrender, OpenGL 2, OpenGL 3.1, etc..)
>kde
