Frank is truly an unbeliever engineer who I've had the chance to meet via The Recurse Center in NYC.<p>A dear friend of mine, greg.technology, is playfulled revered as a one of the most "programmer's programmer"...<p>Frank is Greg's "programmer's programmer". Beyond brilliant and an original thinker.<p>Hi Frank!
Coming here virtually/in person to confirm that even though it’s a bit rude to “rank” people, I basically struggle to understand how incredibly good Frank is - extraordinarily fast, deeply capable, and kind to a fault. A very uniquely, typical, amazing Recurser.
This is great.<p>But when I read the headline I was kind of hoping it might be a home arcade machine that also let me watch other people playing (ala’twitch) but then also allow me to join the game (or even take it over).
This is awesome I’m currently sitting across from the RCade. Yay!
The "hardware" section is really cool, and then you get to the "software" section and it's just webslop.
this is a really cool project. I also appreciate the work that went into retaining the original CRT, that's usually the first thing to go in other projects like this but it does so much to make it feel special and not just another computer in a box.
