I still daily drive a Oneplus 7T; for ~$350 in 2020, it's served me incredibly well, barely any performance drop over the years.

The battery has weakened ofc, the 2 day battery life has dropped to a measly 9 hours, but that's more than enough.

Location: New Delhi, India/Barrow-in-Furness, UK

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies:

- Typescript (any web framework, any flavour. well versed with advanced typing, structuring and fixing enterprise scale monoliths. Expert in Svelte and Kit)

- 3D (3D modelling, WebGL (GLSL and TSL shaders, performance optimization and pipelines; think online 3D showcases, websites and general web based realtime rendering)

- DevOps & Deployment (Going from MVPs to globally distributed and highly available services tailor fit to your budget and complexity constraints. Automated maintenance, deployment and scaling)

- Languages (in order of proficiency): Typescript, C#, GLSL, OCaml, Haskell, C++, Python, Lua, Haxe.

I work mostly like a CTO on contract with heavy emphasis on understanding and building every step of an enterprise pipeline. I build highly maintainable solutions tailor fit to your budget, infrastructure and future investment. My goal is to solve your problem in a way that it manages itself without heavy future investment. With over 10 years of experience taking products from idea to market I understand exactly what goes into building a successful tech product. I have worked in multiple industries spanning pharmaceuticals, finance and deep tech. Current research includes building highly performant realtime rendering solutions for the web. Think global illumination at 60fps in the browser.

More like a horse carriage owner no? I don't think the horses used to have a merry time dragging around a huge carriage with multiple people in it.

I wrote an Unreal file parser in C# and use it in our in-house web based DAM. It was much more ergonomic and performant than writing it in Javascript.

That's really cool, might implement it someday since the engine I wrote handles arbitrary card play and turn combinations. Let me know if you'd be interested in a playable version of this variant, would love to pick your brain.

God the UI design is atrocious.

I still use a 2019 MBP and I can't work on just the laptop screen. My laptop screen usually has one fullscreen window at all times; tmux, or a browser window; all the main work gets done on the big screen.

That sounds really interesting. Would love to know more about it.

Thank you! Because of the randomness with action cards, sometimes I just play entire games by myself while testing xd.

E-mail sending is in beta afaik, you need the Workers paid plan to use it.

> Use the system WebView for lightweight apps, or bundle Chromium via CEF

so basically a vibe coded Tauri in zig? I don't like calling webview dependent applications "native desktop apps".

Native desktop apps means using the OS primitives and directives to draw the UI imo; WinForms, SwiftUI, and their ilk.

I didn't quite get the point of this comment, there's no denying any of it, actually I wholeheartedly agree with you, but what I was saying wrt practicality of playing PSP games.

You can of course buy that device, but from personal experience the novelty doesn't last very long and then it just becomes just another device in the drawer graveyard. Also no one's really making new PSP games anymore? so the novelty of the PSP remains in its construction and the software; which becomes limiting as time goes on.

The joystick, buttons all tend to break or stick after 20 years, replacements may or may not be easy to come by for most, so it just makes more sense into building your own retro game device that supports PSP emulation among others.

+1 to this point, I really wanted a PSP my entire childhood but never got one, bought one back in 2022 purely because of the memories I had of 4-5 of us huddled around the community (read pampered friend's) PSP.
