turns out you now require an AVX2-capable CPU just to... process CSS on this one hot framework of the week

why in the hell a node module ships _native code_!?

I'm glad I'm a dinosaur and do not even touch that ecosystem, not even by accident

oh, _native code_ that assumes you're using a brand new computer bought yesterday, of course

requireing avx2 outside of media encoding and numerical processing stuff is stupid. Helps with decoding but usually you should leave this task to your gfx card. Anything first core i7 and up is still more than usuable today.

tomman, sorry i read all that on ur article, din really understand except the part about his 128gb 6 core cpu having no avx2 instructions being irrelvant

thats really stupid i agree.

one wonders how did they do the AGC, it must have been a room-sized supercomputer with 128-cores :-P

frg_Away: gross understatement :(

way beyond stupid

My hands both of them hurt like hell so won't be talking much but good morning
