Show HN: Factory DS, A Factorio-Like Game for the Nintendo DS
https://ronangaillard.github.io/posts/factory-ds-a-factory-game-for-the-nintendo-ds/
Hi HN, I'm Ronan. I love the Nintendo DS but ran out of games that kept me hooked, so I tried porting the kind of game I play today: a factory game in the spirit of Factorio, on a 67 MHz ARM9 with 4 MB of RAM.I had never written code for the DS, and I built it with Claude Code. I wrote the specs, the design and the balancing, and Claude wrote most of the C. The post goes through how that...

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone still use code snippets?
on Monday February 03, 2025 @01:03AM (#42915422)
I mostly use them to create new React components (index.tsx, x.component.tsx, x.module.scss, x.types.ts).
I also use the nest cli to create new modules, services, ... which are king of snippets also.

Sound incredible !
I like the word "simply" in this sentence
> i will simply be able to recreate the baseboard with the new 4G module, a microcontroller, and some audio processing and power management circuitry and it will be able to seamlessly fit inside the phone.
Seems like a bigger project than the author would let us think ! But I hope to see the PCB soon !

I’m thinking also of Canson (founded 1557), the paper manufacturer and Richard de Bas (1326). Even Monnaie de Paris dates back from 864. Actually there are many companies still alive today that are more than 400/500 years old.

Because the RP2040 is not the main controller of the RPi.

On the video you sent Photoshop takes 6 seconds to start and it seems like it is stored on an external disk which could explain why it's slower.
I'll try to make a video on real hardware once I have time to show that I'm not exaggerating. And remember that the SE/30 is a computer from 89, so not even early 90s.

Re:Maybe people do care about performance and reliability

I would tend to disagree. In the 1990s System 7 would start in a few seconds from hard disk on a Mac SE/30.
Word would start in less than a second (not sure which version it was), and most features we use today were available. Adobe Photoshop 3.0 would start in less than 3 seconds, and same with Premiere 1.0.
Of course you lacked some memory protection features which could make the whole computer crash because of a single program failure, but daily experience was much better on old systems. They felt way faster because they have less input lag and because UI was less bloated.
I'm not saying 1990s computer and software were better, but they were way faster than what we use today.
