100%, we can no longer rely on faster processors to make our code faster, and must instead write code that can take advantage of the hardware's parallelism.
For those interested in learning more about Why Amdahl's Law is Important, my friend wrote an interesting article on this very topic - https://convey.earth/conversation?id=41
> Add a Z-Machine interpreter (up to v8) with Palm/Graffiti like input and I'm sold.
Handwriting recognition would be a nice feature and could even enable direct messages between the two players!
> No programming fun, then :(.
I disagree - there was plenty of programming fun! My C/C++ was a little rusty and I enjoyed getting the hang of it again. Working so close to the hardware is such a different mindset from my other recent projects, there was so much to learn and I found it very rewarding!
I also just found out that tinygo supports this SoC and even has a driver for the ILI9341!
> I'd love to play some IF with "real life" like input, as if I was writting in cursive.
No idea what IF is in this context :/ Interactive Fiction? Input File? International Fleet? Intermittent Fasting?
> With an e-ink display those games would last months without a power charge...
True, but e-ink would not be suitable for the collaborative drawing (or 'synchronized chalkboard' as you called it)
This change has dramatically increased the backlog for Linux builds (currently hovering around 9600 jobs) and has severely impacted the upcoming release of Fyne v1.4 as the wait time is now multiple hours.
S P A C E maybe the solution you're looking for to store all your photos and videos.
- End-to-End Encrypted - your private key stays on your device(s) so only you can read your files.
- Blockchain-Backed - your files are immutable and indelible.
- Open Sourced - all source code is available from Github under Apache 2.0.
- Decentralized - you choose which providers store your files, and can setup your own computers as providers.
- Shareable - you can share a file with any other S P A C E user.
- Currently in Open Beta with an Android app and command line clients for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Your private key can be shared with your other devices so you can access your files from any of your (supported) devices.
There is still some manual work as you need to add the files to S P A C E, but I will look into supporting automatically adding files.
Aletheia Ware currently has two providers, one in San Francisco and the other in New York, but unfortunately neither offer offline tape backups. However, if someone else wants to setup this type of provider I would be happy to help.
The other comments had an interesting point;
- mceachen "Use something that's been designed to continue even if the company doesn't."
- devm0de "I wouldn’t trust any single cloud storage provider from screwing you at some point."
I designed S P A C E to continue even if my company, Aletheia Ware LLC, doesn't by open sourcing all the code, and enabling anyone to be their own providers. By having multiple parties able to provide these services independently you avoid the risk of having all your eggs in one basket - just like you shouldn't store all your data on one harddrive, you shouldn't store all your data with one cloud storage provider.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback you, or other HNers, have.
