being jokered by learning they still make brand-new Android phones with 64-bit CPUs, 64-bit kernels, and… 32-bit-only userspaces ;_;

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, glibc/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, glibc plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather—

IMA ADPCM is an extremely cute audio compression format. the reference algorithm is a few lines of C code with no multiplication or division, let alone floating-point. just bitshifts and two constant lookup tables <3

you know, it’s a shame that C is designed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG14 and not the OpenGL Architecture Review Board. i’m sure we’d all rather write:

glDisable(GL_MASKING);
glEnableClientState(GL_SOURCE_DATA_ARRAY);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glSourceDataPointer(1, gl::UNSIGNED_BYTE, 1, dst_ptr);
glEnableClientState(GL_DESTINATION_DATA_ARRAY);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glDestinationDataPointer(1, gl::UNSIGNED_BYTE, 1, src_ptr);
glCopyBytes(0, num_bytes);
if (glGetError() != 0) {
   // fuck
}

rather than

memcpy(dst_ptr, src_ptr, size);
