I believe FNA is trying to be more loyal to the original XNA while my monogame tends to introduce new features.

I've been happy with monogame when I used it in the past. I'm pretty sure Celeste was made with FNA


I built a small emulator project called Velxio.

A fully local, open-source Arduino emulator. Write Arduino code, compile it, and simulate it with real AVR8 CPU emulation and 48+ interactive electronic components,All running in your browser. GitHub: https://github.com/davidmonterocrespo24/velxio

The goal of this project was to learn more about how emulators work internally: CPU instructions, memory management, and low-level architecture.

It's still experimental, but it already runs basic instructions and I'm continuing to improve it.


uv is one of my inspirations. Take a familiar interface, do the same thing but better/faster.

I almost added "place the research into the context of other relevant research" as another way of saying "cite enough of the peer reviewer's papers" but fair enough.

I'm not sure if science has as much corruption as other fields, but it definitely has politics. PIs get to their position without the typical selection process for leadership that happens in most larger orgs, so there's more fragile and explosive personalities than I find in other management/leadership positions.


> "I consider myself among peers with coders, scientists, and founders."

I consider myself to have empathy for people who are not coders, scientists, or founders. I hope it's clear that we're speaking for different people here.

> "10% can feel kind a big number when 100% is huge" is a funny argument

That would be a funny argument if it were the one being made.


One of the more ignorant comments I've read on HN which is saying something.

Iran has nobody in charge to lead any sort of negotiations or to order stand down. Now it really is guerrilla war. The type that never ends.

I used MonoGame to port my XNA games to other platforms.

It’s really good, also it was very cool as a junior developer to see the code for the methods I used.


Undermaintained might be more suited since it does have life but doesn't appear commercially healthy nor apparently relevant to other communities.

My predictions for the end of this war:

- The USA eventually declares some arbitrary "victory" condition.

- Iran will be left even poorer, and much less able to defend itself conventionally, but will remain under the same regime. Very likely they give up cooperating with atomic energy inspectors and do what North Korea did to a acquire weapons.

- Israel's ability to dictate US foreign and military policy will be degraded long term. What many commentators do not see is how anti-Israel younger consevatives trend in the US are now. It will be decades or before a serious anti-Israel republican candidate will be fielded, but it is inevitable, and even your typical greatest-ally-wall-kissers will have to moderate themselves.

Will be very interesting to see what the mid terms bring. Some on the American right are already talking about voting democrat to protest - MAGA was specifically sold to them as an antidote to necon middle eatern entanglements.


If Iran makes a nuisance of itself for long enough, I expect a coalition naval task force will go and open the strait back up.

> And that is sad, as third party libraries should never perform better than standard library.

It's quite literally the opposite. The purpose of a stdlib is standardization, stability, and broad usefulness, not extreme performance. In fact, that can't be its purpose — you can only get max performance if you tune for your exact use case — but how could a stdlib that's by definition generic ever be able to do that?

> but then again there are faster libraries that can give you 3x performance(in case of numeric keys)

Yeah, exactly. If you can constrain your problem domain ("numeric keys only"), you can always squeeze out more performance than a generic algorithm can give you. Completely irrelevant as far as stdlib goes though.


But providing targeting information is not participation in the war, right? (: Supplying weapons is not participation in the war, right?

Hey Canadians, can you permanently dismantle some pipelines?

Unlike our fearless orange leader, I live on earth, and global warming's becoming quite a big issue over here.

Also, the sooner we're forced off oil, the sooner these dumb wars stop.


> Folks can build, deploy, and learn faster now than ever before

Fail faster yes. Learn faster no. The research out there shows that having the AI doing the work stops the learning process.


Only someone without military experience could hit "send" on a post like this

I shipped solo what would've been a 4-5 person team's output. The productivity gain is real but wildly uneven across tasks within the same role — and that unevenness is what makes aggregate labor stats misleading.

That FAQ is brilliant! There's something deeply satisfying about implementing modern computing concepts through ancient geometric constructions. The absurdity of a Game Boy ALU using compass and straightedge feels like the perfect intersection of mathematical elegance and programming whimsy.

The "I wanted to feel something" line really captures the essence of why we build these delightfully impractical things.


Given that distributions are the distributors of packages and not the upstream developers, I think static linking is fine as is dep-shipping. The now dead Clear Linux was great at handling package distribution.

Personally, I think docker is dumb, so is AppImage, so is FlatPak, so are VMs… honestly, it’s all dumb. We all like these various things because they solve problems, but they don’t actually solve anything. They work around issues instead. We end up with abstractions and orchestrations of docker, handling docker containers running inside of VMs, on top of hardware we cannot know, see, control, or inspect. The containers are now just a way to offer shared hosting at a price premium with complex and expensive software deployment methods. We are charged extortionate prices at every step, and we accept it because it’s convenient, because these methods make certain problems go away, and because if we want money, investors expect to see “industry standards.”


It's gonna take a LOT for them to match the USA's depravity.

For context, they have 2 to 4 commits per month since October [1]. The last release was July 2025 [2].

>So for the petroleum products used within the US need the heavy oil that is imported.

Is that really true? I've heard experts say that sweet crude is easy to refine. I've always thought that the reason US refiners bother with sour crude is that they're better at refining it than non-US refiners are, so they make a little more money that way.


> Trump could make up with Canada so those oil imports restart.

Sounds like Trump hubris. Probably just what he'd expect. And then he'd accuse Canada of "behaving terribly" if things didn't go his way, and he'd reach for his tariff paddle.


If a startup is laying off architect and analyst type people who have a great high level understand of what technology can do and what customers need, people who can normalize requirements and document them effectively, agreed that would be a sign of a last gasp.

PMs and devs though, Claude mostly does their jobs now.


My thoughts were "why do we still buy fireworks. This is way cooler, and not really annoying"

Could it be because nuclear is highly centralized? I would expect that something like solar/wind power would be better for decentralization (in a war).

Even if you don't blow up a nuclear plant, it seems like cutting the power from one would be relatively easy.


What genre of cope is this?

I agree that the complexity is getting scary. They keep on adding more and more stuff and it is hard to follow.
