Comment Why "gaming" (Score 1) 31

Why everyone still mentions just "gaming" for high performance CPUs? Accasionally also "content". Why not "programming", particularly on Slashdot. Half an hour of LLVM rebuild on 16-core CPU is a pain. OpenJDK 6 minutes or so is also not fun. Even my own C++ project takes minutes to rebuild when I touch some *.hpp file.

Comment Re:Then why C++ at all? (Score 1) 71

C++ is the only language which aims to have the best runtime performance with no compromises (this goal is missing from all other high level languages like Rust, Go, Swift, Java, you name it) while still having the best (or even viable) development performance (missing from C, assembler). Yes, the language could be more simple which is what the guidelines or cpp2 are about.

Like with any F/OSS you need to buy hardware which is supported by F/OSS (which is not so true in LineageOS due to all the binary blobs there anyway). Not to buy hardware and expect it will be supported by F/OSS. Samsung is known not to be supported well by LineageOS. I buy Pixels. But then LineageOS and Pixel OS are in fact the same.
