    How does this differ from Hylo [0]?

    I think that's only an issue with Windows Powershell. Powershell 7 works just fine.

    Any recommendation for an Arm vps? I tried using a Hetzner server but apparently their server offering doesn't support mountint Windows Arm images.

    They don't seem to be available for private repos (unless you sign up for Github Teams or Enterprise).

    I'd like to ask HN a very vaguely related question. I need to get a self-hosted runner (for GitHub Actions) that is capable of running Windows ARM64. What are my options other than buying a machine and do everything manually? Are there any service providers that offer Windows ARM64 VMs? I can only seem to find options for Linux.

    > protobuf

    As an aside, like all things Google, their C++ library is massive (14mb dll) and painful to build (takes nearly 10 minutes on my laptop).

    I wish GPU vendors would stick to a standard terminology, at least for common parts. It's really confusing having to deal with warps vs wavefronts vs simd groups, thread block vs workgroup, streaming multiprocessor vs compute unit vs execution unit, etc...

    > Travelling to a 3rd world country with genuinely poor people can help, a bit.

    I agree with this. For anyone who's young and can afford, I wholeheartedly recommend travelling to a poor country. It will truly give you a lot perspective on the world and appreciate your life more.

    Having said that, I often see people grossly misunderstanding that just because you visited a poor country you understand the lives of the people you saw (e.g. their cultures, opinions and lifestyle). It really does not. You only get a very superficial glimpse, but it takes years to embody their experience in your mind.

    I don't think this is correct. Chrome uses Graphite and their biggest supported platform is Android.

    > We are collaborating with the Flutter team at Google to bring Impeller, their GPU first renderer, to .NET. That work is already in progress and as it lands, the MAUI backend will inherit those gains.

    Interesting, I wonder how good Impeller is and if it's actually better than the new Graphite backend of Skia.

    I was expecting the author to at least mention Halide https://halide-lang.org/.
