CUDA is fully proprietary and just as difficult to work in as writing good ol fashion OpenCL C code. A few benchmarks show CUDA generated code being slower then OpenCL. But with OpenCL you can target non-GPU's like AMD64, ARM, POWER8, or even AMD GPU's without any code changes. So it is the better pick.

Many of these are due to quirky architecture and/or obsolete design decisions, which is why I think it's time for a replacement.

In fact, I generally avoid writing latex directly. I use Lyx which has its own issues but is been rather pleasant work with.

>>57419058

I don't know I kind of like that. Tex was made to be a final perfect product, it's kind of interesting.

>you're expected to read a 494-page book to be able to use tex in the first place
You're exaggerating. A minimal example uses three lines, everything else you can learn as you go.

It's true though that I haven't used it for very complicated stuff, mostly just typesetting (including formulas and diagrams) for thesis and articles and stuff like that, a few times for presentations. Maybe it's more complicated if you get fancy, I guess.

>>57419163

Anything apache.

>>57419186
I think Knuth still pays if you can find a bug.

>You're exaggerating. A minimal example uses three lines, everything else you can learn as you go.
No, you literally are supposed to read the TeXbook (ok, not in its entirety) before you start doing anything.
If you learn as you go, a lot of the concepts employed by Tex will just confuse you until you sit down and read up on them.

>>57419186
In a certain way, Tex itself is nearly perfect. For a few years now, there has been a $327.68 bounty for finding a new bug in the core program.
The issue is that tex itself doesn't aim to do that much in the first place, and relies on packages and rest of the ecosystem to produce something usable. And the ecosystem, while very big, is horseshit.

>>57419373
>No, you literally are supposed to read the TeXbook

You should switch out of virtue of standardization. However, OpenCL in the current state is still very much inferior to CUDA although solely because of a lack of libraries for GPU accelerated "MKL" and BLAS equivalents. Neural network programs will also benefit from nVidia products because cuDNN has been many years in the works. tensorflow works for openCL, but is still in the works.

Use Blender+Natron. They directly replace Premiere + Aftereffects or Nuke. If you're only making amateur vids with few effects and can tolerate KDE deps kdenlive is well developed.
>DAW
Ardour+Hydrogen is super comprehensive. LMMS has better MIDI support but you can use them together to great effect.
>Desktop Publishing Software
What about Scribus?

However, I wouldn't consider these programs to be superior to closed-source equivalents because they've been in the game for a very limited amount of time. It's not the fact that they're objectively better than closed source equivalents, but it's that they have more potential to improve and add cool features.

Right now I think Linux just really needs to step up on the plate for engineers and start aggressively targeting effective alternatives to overpriced shit like NX and Abaqus.

this argument is moot -
it's not just the superior applications
it's the whole platform - linux is a professional platform - microsoft winshite is geared to your uncle/mother the thick boss (all over the place because of microsoft). anyone professional is slowed down using their crud. question -- why do they want linux so badly now? 2016 and nobody knows what their platform looks like .. the inconsistancy it's all over the place. Linux has remained stable and has developed on a foundation. Microsoft is the low grade buggy, "gimmick" OS

It's fine to argue about the relative merits of free and proprietary software, but you have to be kidding yourself if you think either side doesn't have at least 10 pieces of software that are undeniably the best in their field.

It's worth noting how it only ever comes up in the case of foss vs proprietary software. Implementing the technical part of an application like an algorithm or a file format or whatever is easy and something devs feel comfortable with, but designing a user experience around that is harder and something programmers and hobbyists have no fucking clue about.

It's also why simple, purpose-oriented software tends to shine in the FOSS space, whereas complex applications that try to do everything in a user friendly way are generally laughable when they aren't released by a company the size of Adobe or Autodesk. Freetard developers literally would just bring up "you don't NEED that feature" every time as an argument instead of implementing it.

holy fuck yes you god damn scrub.

You have no fucking idea how shitty text editors are until you get good at Vim. Look around you man. Everyone here is too big a faggot to actually spend time learning something new. But you can be different! YES it has a high learning curve. YES it doesn't make sense to you. But it's time to do some CRITICAL FUCKING THINKING about how you use computers. You type and you click. Every time you go from typing to clicking, you lose about 3 seconds because you switch from mouse to keyboard and back. THAT ADDS UP, SON. It's a lot of hand strain and delay.

If you use VIM you pretty much don't ever touch your mouse. In addition you get access to a ton of...

>designing a user experience around that is harder and something programmers and hobbyists have no fucking clue about.
and requires actual testing with humans, which is tedious (and expensive)

>>57417799
Until you realize that programming languages are programmable you are a shit code monkey.

>>57417734
No fuck boi, binary blobs are in Firefox.

>>57423939
Exactly. Which is why Gimp and Blender have arcane workflows that only make sense to the autistic neckbeards who designed them. Less so with Krita and Inkscape since they try to rip off established ones.

>>57423899
>but designing a user experience around that is harder and something programmers and hobbyists have no fucking clue about.
Yes, but not exclusively. I bet a lot of freetard devs (myself included) have a day job designing ""user experiences"" for dumbfuck clients. The reason why most people don't care about UX in free software is fundamental to how free software works. They're not designing a "product" to appeal to a potential consumer base that's as wide as possible. There's absolutely no incentive to do that as a free software dev. Most are writing the kind of software they like to use, to scratch their own itches and the itches of a few like-minded people who also think like developers. Keyboard oriented programs like Vim ignore all the rules of discoverable UX, but the people who know how to use it are incredibly efficient with it.

Of course, a handful of people actually enjoy UX design and do it in their free time, which is why not every free software program has awful UX.

Solution: where Free-as-in-speech AND Free-as-in-beer good open source software exists, closed source software has no market and will fail, for the simple reason that any reasonable actor will simply choose the option that is both good AND free.

I'm not gonna focus on some common GUI programs, but all of the little things we all take for granted.

SSL

Apache/nginx

cat/grep/sed/etc., or the whole of gnu-utils and/or Berkley distribution

tcpdump/wireshark

PGP/GPG and/or everything released by Nist

johntheripper, aerodump, and everything bundled with Kali

sendmail/postfix, mailman and co.

C/C++/Java/Python/99% of languages have open source compilers that are either the only option or at least just as good as commercial

Database software, except for exctemely niche requirements

motherfucking TCP/IP

But please, do try and prove me wrong.

>>57425856
No it's not. WebKit is open source. The Safari application is proprietary. A web browser is not just a renderer. Also, WebKit is no longer the core of Chromium. Chromium forked Blink from WebKit a while ago, and since then WebKit has been slipping in standards support. You couldn't force me to use Safari over Chromium these days because its standards support is so awful.
