Comment What? (Score 1, Insightful) 493

Since when does measuring JavaScript performance automatically indicates if a browser is faster or not? Op honestly didn't phrase the subject well.

And why all these "JavaScript benchmarks"? Is it common for people to do matrix math with it or what?

So now all of a sudden having a responsive application, which doesn't crash and/or eats all of the available memory and does the job without me thinking that I'm driving on a snail doesn't matter?

They should be looking elsewhere.

On a 32-bit system, an application gets 4GB virtual address space. 2GB of that is kernel space (typically graphics memory related) and the other 2GB is user space. Supreme Commander does hit the 2GB limit now and then, crashing in a flaming heap.

Maybe... just maybe they should code it better, rather than blaming the OS. Really, I hate how things are going nowadays. No one seems to care about optimizations anymore and everything NEEDS to have shiny graphics with neat physics and whatnot. Originality != EyeCandy

Alright. Since most of you actually chose vi/vim as your favorite text editor, admit it: It's one of the most unfriendly and frustrating text editors ever created. Admit it! DOS edit beats it by a long mile.
