Hey HN, we just released the 1.0 of the MonTana Mini Computer (MTMC-16), a virtual teaching computer to help students understand how low level computing works. It is a 16 bit computer with only 4k of ram, but we've made some design choices that help maximize what you can accomplish with the limited hardware https://mtmc.cs.montana.edu/ It is written in java (sorry) and provides a web interface that has: - a blinken-lighten display for registers - a memory view with different filters you can apply - a Gameboy-like game pad - a console you can use to interact with the computer…

The overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar. Definitely a labor of love as I have a number of Mini PCs for my "homelab" (TrueNAS, piHole, Plex, basic stuff). It uses Gemini to extract specs from listings (since they're not often strongly categorized). Quick blog post here: https://luke.zip/posts/pareto-pcs/

1. Single universal binary, that can be natively executed on every hardware platform Mac OS X was made for (32/64 bit, PowerPC/x86/AppleSilicon). 2. Minimalistic gadget-style design. If launched as a tool, there is no menubar, no dock icon, no nothing, just the clock window. 3. Support for hidpi and dark mode for environments, that have them. 4. Window title bar for moving the window with a mouse, and a handle to resize it (latter for OS versions, that have it). 5. Can be easily ported to GNUStep and thus other OSes (sources under GPLv3). 6. Simple Makefile build system.
