There is no absolute direction for a galaxy’s spin—it’s always relative to the observer’s perspective. So I’d suspect they’re saying time and distance would need to be factored in …

Nice thing about SQLite is you can “clone” the repository by copying a single file. And in cases where you need incremental sync, you can use an SQLite of diff’s as a single packfi…

Is there a public git repo available somewhere that represents a Kart repository? Are the raw files in the working repository GeoPackages? How is it tracking the changes made insid…

Just saw this, which might be a better home page: https://koordinates.com/products/kart/

This looks neat! I assume it’s using WASM for browser based web encoding? Is local encoding always guaranteed to be faster or could some internet connections be fast enough that an…

And then things like neural implants and BCIs -- seems like your dog could have language capabilities sooner than you'd think ;)

I wonder if language translation will be one of the "killer apps". Especially if it can be done real-time and according to the context/level of the audience/listener. Even within t…

In scenarios where an individual customer/tenant can have isolated data this makes sense. Is there any reason why the client application itself can't be one of the nodes in the dis…

Is there any documentation on the native schema used to store the documents. Is it sane enough that you could manually roll your own JSON1 queries in SQL to facilitate more relatio…

Why not include C#/MAUI on this list to make it 5?

How do serialization libraries, like Newtonsoft JSON.net, work on platforms like iOS/Blazor/Unity that use AOT? Doesn’t seem like anything special has to be done other than referen…

Don't you think we'll get to the point where individual AI instances will be as ubiquitous as calculators? Or will it always require massive compute power that keeps the generative…

I do wonder how well (quickly) the whole thought is formed in your head and it’s just the encoding into language that tricks you into thinking you didn’t know what the word would b…

Xamarin/MAUI doesn’t get the buzz/love from HN audience that React Native and Flutter get. I think there is a lot of historical bias here. My company has found success with the dot…

At our organization we have a nontechnical sprint tester that executes manual tests and creates customer facing documentation. This sprint tester is part of our pull request approv…

I think we saw the same behavior with Microsoft in the early 2000s. When a company becomes more preoccupied with "shoring up the moat" to keep the stranglehold on the market more t…

Blazor/dotnet is the framework using WASM. C# is the language.

I know that’s what bitcoin proponents would say, and this appears true to me on the surface. I also see huge incentives for governments, banks, payment companies, tax companies etc…

I also have no horse in this race, never owned any BTC/crypto, but I feel like the wastefulness is made to be too big of an issue. Seems like it can be solved eventually. So if it …

Probably because it matters what the majority of adopters believe the purpose is. Right now the belief of most bitcoin/crypto adopters is that it’s a way to get rich quick Like mos…

I watched this video from Friedman just a couple of days ago and found it insightful on the topic of inflation: https://youtu.be/B_nGEj8wIP0

Source? Is this because QE isn’t entirely to blame and there were legitimate supply problems because of the pandemic. Similar to how Friedman explains wars can have an effect on pr…
