Byuu/Near was a pioneer for emulator accuracy and was laughed at most of the time because his emulator (bsnes) consumed a lot of memory and cpu.

What a pioneer. RIP Byuu.

I had very similar savings on memory and cpu when I ported my monolith from Go to Rust. I also noticed a roughly 40% reduction in lines of code.

Make your own VPN using a VPS and something like openvpn.

Not every website will allow it, but it should get you access to more than you have now.

It’s funny they recommend “folks” for a guys alternative. There are folk/volk German connotations they may not approve of…

Another website that is so slow it's unusable is Stripe.

My CPU goes to 100% and fans roaring every time I load the dashboard and transactions. I can barely click on customers/subscriptions/etc. I can't be the only one...

Glad I’m not the only one experiencing this. The Stripe dashboard constantly freezes up for me, even registering a click takes 10-20 seconds. Often it will just go white. Incredible annoying.

You're not alone-- on my spouse's M1 MacBook Air the page won't even load anymore. On my beefy system76 laptop I have the same experience as you!

Go's WASM binaries are huge. You can get far with tinygo, but that means you can't use anything that relies on CGO.

I eventually left Go and went to Rust for better WASM support... seems to get me a lot further!

A lot of older games had very few programmers and most of which had custom and/or reused engines from previous games.

It goes to show you _can_ do a while lot on your own or with a small team when you're focused on the game itself.

I knew it was a matter of time before this happened. I even considered starting it myself, but didn't want the burden of actually maintaining it.

I even thought of calling it zim (zed-improved.. like vim). Glad to see the project!

anecdata: I run a saas product and my primary customers are recruiters, after the BBB I have had more daily signups and new subscribers than previous months.

I can relate a lot to this post.

I learned Japanese around the same time (2010~). I even lived in Japan and studied at a Japanese university.

To this day I have a hard time recalling Japanese on the spot. However, when I hear Japanese or see it written, I can read and understand well. Even kanji I haven't seen in a decade. It's kinda strange.

I'm pretty sure if I re-studied Japanese I would learn very quickly as I re-activate that part of my brain... something that has been on my todo list for a long time!
