dotnwat··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2026)
Lyra | Full-Time | Applied AI Engineer | REMOTE (US Citizenship Required) | Building the AI that builds satellites.

Lyra is building an AI-native platform to solve the problem of mission integration that exists today: a slow, expensive, and manual process of information extraction and design for satellite missions. You will work on a small, fast-paced team that interfaces directly with government agencies and industry experts to build the initial version of our platform.

We are looking for a generalist that is comfortable building full-stack products, using AI tooling, and building data analysis/extraction pipelines.

Package: Health insurance, generous equity, competitive salary

Would be interested to know which lighting products you are specifically using. I've started dipping my toe into the pool of improved lighting, but the number of products out there is quite overwhelming.

How do I stop the animated icon in the chrome tab? It's cool, but very distracting to keep the tab open.

dotnwat··on Minix development has been abandoned?
He is one of the folks behind https://www.electoral-vote.com/ which I think must take up a lot of time.
dotnwat··on LLVM 16.0.0 Release
Very excited about this release. Just tried out clang-format on a code base with a lot of concepts, and finally, the formatting looks great.
dotnwat··on Ask HN: What have you built more than twice and wish someone had built for you?
We've been a CMake shop from the beginning, but have recently been testing out Meson to see if it could work for us and we've been pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.

Same here. Recently tried to explain this to someone who has vivid imagery, but it was challenging. It seems we do have a wildly different experience of life in this aspect.
dotnwat··on K Programming Language
What does "k4 is proprietary" mean? Does that mean one way run into problems building an open-source implementation of the language itself?
dotnwat··on Thread-Per-Core Buffer Management for a modern storage system
Having not tried, I would expect ksql to not work until transaction support lands. That said, perhaps there are some ways to configure it to avoid dependencies on those underlying APIs.
dotnwat··on Thread-Per-Core Buffer Management for a modern storage system
In progress right now are transactions and ACLs. A preliminary form of ACLs with SCRAM will be available later this month. Transactions will come early next year. Those are probably the most visible differences.

Do you have any recommendations on getting started with Auxy, either Auxy specific or resources for things _like_ Auxy that translate well?
dotnwat··on The Legion Parallel Programming System
The first time Legion really clicked for me--and when I could place it in context--was reading the first few chapters of the Legion thesis [0].

dotnwat··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
Been happily hacking away on zlog [0] a distributed shared-log that runs on top of software-defined storage like Ceph. I've been working on it for a couple years, steadily getting closer to something stable. It's a lot of fun working through all the many supporting aspects of a project like this: ci/jenkins/cloud-hosting, marketing/promotion, packaging for distributions, learning about tools for communities, etc...
