That's not an argument here. If starting from scratch, might as well go with the thing that works best. Ssh is not an obscure protocol. If it's faster than 9p, that's what I'll use.
I’ve done Coremark scores across a range of different systems including NUCs and Pi’s.
A Pi 4 gets a single thread score of about 10k and a new entry level NUC gets about 20k.
If you look at older systems a Beelink T4 Pro Mini (using a much older CPU) gets about 11k well within the same ballpark as a Pi4. Comparing that to a similar aged Pi a Pi3B gets about 4k score.
For comparison a high end AMD Ryzen gets about 45K.
That explains why I couldn't get it to work on my Android phone despite spoofing the user agent.
Kind of annoying, I was wondering what Samsungs's phone UI looks like these days but I guess they don't want my money. Samsung's marketing department can be weird like that for no well explained reason.
Edit: found out that Kiwi browser allows access to the Chrome extension store and to the Chrome dev tools so I got it to work despite all of Samsung's best efforts.
Chrome DevTools -> Sources -> trygalaxy.com -> _next/static -> pages -> index_... -> CTRL + F and search window.navigator.standalone -> click on the dash to the right (a blue arrow will appear) and refresh the page
The page will freeze, go to the Console, type window.navigator.standalone = true; and unfreeze the page clicking on the blue arrow.
I completely agree. I've played with VB6 a few times recently and it feels so fast and natural to make a UI compared to modern frameworks.
A bit part of it feels like a dedication to highly polished developer tooling. A strong GUI editor that works with (mostly) zero configuration is a big feature of VB6 to me.
I don't speak for everyone, but in the end what bothered me of VB6 was that it was simply very slow. But nothing compares with the joy of loading some obscure .dll and finding out you now had some neat and fully functional component ready to lay out in your app.
Heyyyy ;) Computers were slow. Java applets were slowest. These days I think QT is slow.
It’s not, but with the decadal upgrades in hardware… there should be things that load instantly. Everywhere!
(Deep breath on my end. Ok.) It’s like how games went from a few kilobytes at most, to megabytes disk or dialup… to blue CDs, to 4.7gb, to blu-ray, to 0.5 TB downloads, to second mortgages.
And most of them suck anyway! We will always max out our tech, even if it doesn’t get us much. I mean… we bought that hardware for reasons.

IMO even Delphi 1 had a better GUI form designer. The "Align" property that many controls had, including containers, allowed for visually creating resizable layouts easily since that placed a control to one of the left, right, top and bottom edges of its parent (multiple controls could be stacked) or at the "client" area which basically covered the remaining area. VB had a similar property but IIRC only the picture control supported it (the picture control was also used as a container) and could only place controls to the edges but not the client area. This meant that pretty much any non-trivial UI that needed a resizable window had custom code for the resizing event to handle that instead of being done visually.
Delphi later added a simple "anchor" property to allow custom placed controls to be resized too (the default setting was to anchor to the left and top edge which behaved like before anchors were introduced, but e.g. anchoring a control to the right edge in addition to the left caused the control to be resized horizontally when its parent was resized and anchoring it only on the right caused it instead to move horizontally).
Nowadays Lazarus provides a more advanced anchoring system (e.g. you can have a label control be aligned vertically at the middle of a combo box control and the combo box's left edge to be aligned with the label's right edge with a margin of 5 pixels) which is set up using a visual editor (no code needed) but it also provides the Delphi-like anchors and align properties as well as a bunch of other properties that can be edited visually, like min/max sizes, child control placement, etc all of which make it IMO by far the best WYSIWYG form designer for desktop GUIs (though the anchor editor's own UX could be improved).
