Brain_Man··on Install postmarketOS on Android phone and use Docker as a home server
How close would this be to native performance? Will it use any hardware features to reduce the emulation overhead if both the host and the guest use the same architecture?
Brain_Man··on Uno Platform Studio: GUI Designer for Cross-Platform .NET Applications
Is the hot reload in Platform Studio limited to just UI changes or can any code in the project be hot reloaded? If the latter, what are the limitations?
Brain_Man··on Why Companies Are Ditching the Cloud: The Rise of Cloud Repatriation
> You can set it up yourself on these providers or you can use our managed service.

Are all the bits and pieces necessary for starting one's own managed service open source? In case somebody is interested in starting their own commercial cloud. How easy would that be to deploy?

Brain_Man··on We're forking Flutter
Could you be more specific with what the browsers aren't exposing properly? Because in my experience, targeting WebGL+WebAssembly is pretty much exactly the same as targeting OpenGL+GLFW. I use my own renderer made with bare OpenGL + C++ though, not Flutter. All the things you have mentioned (scroll amount, overscroll behavior) are under the control of the GUI library and don't have much to do with what the browser exposes. The compositing of the whole scene is done by the gui library itself
Brain_Man··on What do you visualize while programming?
Do you really clearly see an image with colors stably without it easily disappearing? I can only kind of pretend I see something and then in a way see it through the pretending :)
Brain_Man··on Ask HN: How Many Hours Do You Code in a Day?
5000 a day? So like almost 2M a year?
Brain_Man··on Skeptical of rewriting JavaScript tools in "faster" languages
Do you use WebGL/WebGPU or the DOM?
Brain_Man··on Skeptical of rewriting JavaScript tools in "faster" languages
Yes. The somewhat nice property of rust having guaranteed memory safety has been blown out of proportion so much that even though C++ with smart pointers and a bit of bounds checking is quite likely not to have memory safety issues, the comunity has decided that anything less than a guarantee means the language is unfit for any purpose and no new projects should ever be started in it. As if Java/JS/C# don't have null reference exceptions occurring all the time and to me those seem quite similar to segfaults. But I guess people are only specifically alergic to memory unsafety.
