rayrrr··on CapTablex: Open-source cap table managment in Elixir
The OCF (Open Cap Table Format) by the Open Cap Table Coalition (Carta, AngelList, Perkins Coie and many others) is an active open source project without an accompanying self-hosted app. Captablex is a new open source Elixir app that comports with the OCF.
rayrrr··on Docs – Open source alternative to Notion or Outline
For my data engineers, some similes: basic note taking apps like Joplin are like a data warehouse. Notion is like a data lake. What we need is something like a data lakehouse. Hopefully this might be it.
rayrrr··on I still like Sublime Text
Sublime is still my top choice for opening big data files, and there’s nothing wrong with it. But, since VS Code is becoming the new lingua franca code editor, I made the switch so as to play nice with others going forward.
rayrrr··on Tailwind CSS v4.0
To some extent, reading between the lines of many of these comments, I think “pure CSS” designers are feeling threatened by the quality level of Tailwind sites designed by the rest of us.
rayrrr··on Tailwind CSS v4.0
Every programming language maps 1:1 to CPU instruction sets, but very few humans want to speak CPU language directly…hope that helps.
rayrrr··on Blackcandy: Self hosted music streaming server
Any Ruby to Elixir folks interested in porting this to the latter?
rayrrr··on MTA Open Data Challenge
Hold my Metrocard.
rayrrr··on How we migrated onto K8s in less than 12 months
Just out of curiosity, is there any other modern system or service that anyone here can think of, where anyone in their right might would brag about migrating to it in less than a year?
rayrrr··on Faer-rs: Linear algebra foundation for Rust
I asked because Faer describes itself as a low-level linear algebra library with a high-level wrapper, whereas good_lp describes itself as a high-level wrapper around many relevant low-level libraries.
rayrrr··on Faer-rs: Linear algebra foundation for Rust
How exactly does this dovetail with https://github.com/rust-or/good_lp ? Will it be a replacement, an enhancement, or something else?
rayrrr··on Ask HN: How can I learn about manufacturing?
Go to a trade show dealing with industrial automation. Walk the floor and ask the salespeople questions.
rayrrr··on Reindeer sleep and eat simultaneously
If they can do that, who's to say they can't fly?
rayrrr··on Apertus – Open-Source Camera
Indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_puller
rayrrr··on TOML: Tom's Obvious Minimal Language
YAML is not reliably machine-readable, nor was it designed to be. TOML was designed to be machine-readable, but otherwise fulfilling a similar use case as YAML.
rayrrr··on What can I read to convince me I shouldn’t care about online privacy as much?

rayrrr··on OpenTalk meeting software now Open Source under EU public licence
The wording is a bit clunky, as the native language of the website is German, but they offer this English translation of their tech stack:

"Rust is a modern programming language that we use to interconnect our OpenTalk backend team. Fast, secure, and efficient - ideal for the development of a snappy video conferencing solution with massive scale-out. Our backend team members love working with Rust and will never go back to anything less capable.

Our frontend uses JavaScript/React and Redux, focused on security and performance."

rayrrr··on Luck Surface Area: How to Get Lucky In Life
Eh. "Don't need good luck it'll just turn bad" - Mia Rodriguez, "Shut Up"
rayrrr··on Crowdsource by Google
I suggest pairing this with another front-page HN article from today: https://thehustle.co/why-free-stuff-makes-us-irrational/ and in that article, s/us/Google/g.
rayrrr··on Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
I've been enjoying an alternative approach to a Rust terminal called Starship and the performance improvement is tangible. It is also cross-platform. https://github.com/starship/starship
rayrrr··on California bans the sale of all small off-road internal combustion engines
No. Battery powered does not have an engine, it only has a motor. The engine in a gas-powered device is where the combustion happens, and that combustion causes much louder noise than an electric motor. Same as the sound of an electric car vs. gas-powered.
rayrrr··on How long does it take ordinary people to get good at chess?
Perhaps a more fitting title for this article would have been "How many games does it take to establish an accurate ELO rating?"
rayrrr··on Crows have been shown to understand the concept of zero
My understanding is that the crows in the Holy Crowman Empire have no knowledge whatsoever of zero, but the others do. ;)
rayrrr··on Moon wobble to bring surge in coastal flooding in 2030s, NASA study predicts
Sadly the Dutch have their own problems now and probably need to focus all of their efforts on their own coastline like the rest of us, unless you think they can export "an integrated approach, in which all stakeholders are involved in finding solutions for climate change issues" to other countries like the U.S. that are "more individualistic." https://www.pbs.org/wnet/peril-and-promise/2019/07/dutch-bar...
rayrrr··on Apache Heron: A realtime, distributed, fault-tolerant stream processing engine
For once almost all commenters so far are thinking the same thing I am. Yet another stream processor from Apache. Might as well create the acronym now. YASP.
rayrrr··on The Unicorn Tapestries
Interesting companion piece about the challenges of tapestry digitization in 2005: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/04/11/capturing-the-...
rayrrr··on The internet didn’t kill counterculture – you just won’t find it on Instagram
If counterculture has changed in this context, so has détournement.
rayrrr··on We need to go to Venus as soon as possible
Here are a couple of theme music options: https://youtu.be/ZjcQhpg3_UI https://youtu.be/vMfmi9Qg3HE
rayrrr··on Why do so many people want us back in the office?
"Cynically I might suggest the real subtext here is about propping up commercial property investment portfolios." Yup. https://therealdeal.com/2020/08/20/little-bit-of-guilt-trip-...
rayrrr··on In spite of an increase in Internet speed, webpage speeds have not improved
Moore's Law + Parkinson's Law = Stasis
rayrrr··on Ask HN: Dear open source devs how do you sustain yourself
Day job. No time to explain more because...well, day job.
