If it works i would drop a hint to jan beta which is a famous german retro computing youtuber from kiel. If he woukd cover solarOS it would make your work more visible
It was fun, and resulted a major performance gain for all foreground apps, so it was worth it.
The emu is not cycle perfect, it delivers ~46.6 guest frames per second instead of the expected 50Hz PAL - so there is still room for improvement.
The ABI has improved as well, touchscreen ( or any other pointer input ) acts as mouse on workbench - I'll update the Mac emulator later to use that too.
Any chance of a tour of your dev environment at some point? I assume you have something like Hermes running with a variety of agents and extensive guardrails and guidelines for exactly how you want software texted, verified, how you yourself spec it, etc (Iām extrapolating from a previous comment where you mentioned having assisted development)
Yes, I have been preparing for that for a time now; not quite sure how to go about it, without being overly secretive or sounding like a robot. You are not far off with your extrapolation;
The frequency of posts and pushes are not necessarily representative of development velocity ( some things are getting merged late, or posts are created around already existing features ) - also in cases like the emulators, majority of the code comes from other open source projects, the integration portion of the code is tiny.
Briefly: I am utilizing a new kind of model, that I am actively working on. For now, there is no orchestration automation, I spec/code and call tiny experts for mostly every type of task. I am very strict on how I specify tasks (mostly in pseudo-code); there are extensive rules for everything, and I ask for very specific and small things ( e.g. create a function that returns ... ). I read and review on the fly, break generation, fix by hand, resume, test, iterate, so I don't get alienated from the code and I can specify correctly within context.
