Just imagine what could be possible

just imagine what would be possible if op spent his time learning to code rather than sucking a bunch of cocks

Being demo-tier autistic about optimization does nothing but produce un-portable, impossible to maintain software that takes forever to develop. Developers could certainly do more to squeeze more out of the bountiful computing power we have available to us today, however.

Wow that's actually pretty impressive how they got such a thing running on Cpu Intel 8088 4,77mhz, 640 Ko Ram, Hard disk controller ide 8bits ADP50 with 200Mo Hard disk, Sound Blaster 2.0.
Very impressive.

that's true though. what a shame.

>Linux
Fully in C, with assembly for very low level init and SIMD. Can be compiled using a decade and a half old GCC release. Maintained by an entire small country's army, with huge amounts of code changed per day (100k on a quiet day during a merge period).

>FFmpeg
C, but most of the code has SIMD paths, written and optimized by hand. Can be compiled on any platform made during the last 20 years, with any sane or insane (MSVC) compiler. Maintained by a group of drunk drug-crazed assembly maniacs.

>Chromium
C++, can be compiled to run on shit (random ARM tablets), bigger shit (ChromeOS), shitting shit (Android), vomit puke and shit (random ARM chips from shady chink joint). Maintained by an army of people who hate themselves.

See anon, just a few examples of projects demo-autistic about performance which are still portable, maintainable and getting the most of what they run on.

have you ever seen the autistic amount of optimization that goes into writing demos?

You can't be expected to do that for all your software.
I agree with your sentiment tho.
If android apps were written in C and not java, android battery life would be so much better.

linux since 4.4 can only be compiled with GCC 4.9+

>>55772465
Huh, I thought the only thing which needed 4.9 were the canaries, but those are optional.

>>55772338
I don't think you could even compare those to the level of autism that goes into demos, especially the one in the OP that's handling 60fps video on hardware that was considered shit-tier even when it was new 30 years ago.

>>55771899
I could watch anime on my watch

>Up to 60fps in that old piece of shit
what the fug

>>55771899
You mean like netsurf?

>>55771899
That's seriously impressive. Given that he optimized his original demo further to get that, I wonder if something similar to his original demo could be achieved on one of the weaker personal computers from the time period.
