Lcould you explain as to why ?
Aif you don't set its value, silk will use whatever the platform default is
Lye
Loh
Aon some platforms the depth precision is 0
Ameaning no depth at all
Lfunky linux I guess
Lnot just linux
Lthis goes to show that silk docs are made by windows guys i guess
Lyeah, tho that's my assumption given that I do use it
Lmost of silk 2.x's active development happens on linux, and the tutorials are made by @grifon.petre who also uses linux tmk
Amhm
Lstrange
Pthe defaults tend to be defined by the graphics driver vendor
Lit's not a "linux thing", it's an OpenGL thing
Pand yeah our lead maintainer is an arch btw user
Lcuz i've been using those tutorials and there was no mentioning about it
Lhellll ye
Lhaha
Lprobably should be some mention
Lyep
PSKYEEEEEEEE
Ai am of the personal opinion that silk should have a default value, however that's not the case
however i can add in a mention
however i can add in a mention
PI vaguely recall having some sort of argument about it
Ai've been meaning to write some new tutorials, however when i am motivated atm i am busy working on like 4 different projects at once
Lit was multiple long discussions on coffee & code + working group meetings
Pman someone should get ChatGPT to write meeting notes for those
Loh god
Lending concensus basically was "lets let the driver do what it wants, it probably has a reason for its default value + thats how other windowing APIs work, lets match their behaviour"
Land also "its not a big enough problem to warrant a breaking change"
Pfair that does sound like a reasonable conclusion
Pthat one I’m now less worried about because it has reached the “widespread confusion and/or misuse” line for me
Lyeah, we should 100% reconsider for 3.0
Pwhich we previously used to remove implicit in
Plet’s do a coffee and code and discuss it
Ldefinitely
Lhym… out of curiosity as someone who isn't very expirienced. Is setting a default value a breaking change ?
Lyes
Aid like to join in as well if thats alright
havent spoken to literally anyone in ages outside of text
havent spoken to literally anyone in ages outside of text
Pyeah it’s behaviourally breaking
Psure thing, probably won’t be tomorrow but maybe on the weekend
PI’m also 1 working week away from being unemployed so I’ll have a lot more time on my hands
Lim free until maybe the 12th?
Await what
PI resigned to do a gap year over in the states
Lmy parents are leaving for vacation on the 1st, returning on the 8th (so i'll be 100% free that whole week), then some day on the week of the 12th im flying up to washington
Plast day is Thursday
Aohhh i see
Lwhat state? perhaps we could have the US silk meetup
