SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
I've also been enjoying building My First Game™ in Bevy using ECS. The community around Bevy really shines, but Flecs (https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs) is arguably a more mature, open-source ECS implementation. You don't get to write in Rust, though, which makes it less cool in my book :)
I'm not very proud of the code I've written because I've found writing a game to be much more confusing than building websites + backends, but, as the author notes, it certainly feels more elegant than OOP or globals given the context.
I'm building for WASM and Bevy's parallelism isn't supported in that context (yet? https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4078), so the performance wins are just so-so. Sharing a thread with UI rendering suuucks.
If anyone wants to browse some code or ask questions, feel free! https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants
Linux has CPU-X which you can just get from releases built from the source right there for everyone to see. It might be worth asking if the dev would be interested in making a Windows version+release ever.
I have a library which has an extremely slow free, around 2m for large files, because of unnaturally scattered allocation patterns, but this old conservative GC didn't help at all. It was about 40% slower with libgc. mimalloc was a bit better. Best would be a properly fast GC, like mps https://github.com/Ravenbrook/mps, but this would be too much work.
There are alternatives, minisign and signify.

Project mention: Oasis – a small, statically-linked Linux system | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-26
Project mention: Lilygo T-Deck: 2.8-inch IPS LCD display, mini keyboard, and ESP32 processor | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-03> At the risk of being shouted down, this is another one of those products that looks great on impulse buy, but when you try to use that tiny keyboard and screen to do any real work with it, the chore of use becomes apparent.
I purchased one on impulse after this HN post, and some notes so far:
* Keyboard is a hell of a lot smaller than expected. I have small fingers and even this is a bit of a challenge for me. I very much doubt anybody will be coding on this thing. I am thinking mostly to use it as a way of making brief notes and reading RSS feeds.
* The screen is fine, it's something you can live with.
* I installed tulipcc on it (micropython), definitely the right choice to getting started on it quickly.
* I tried to print a case [2] but my printer is not good enough, I think I will send them off to China to be printed on an SLA printer.
