There are several “AI” deconvolution tools to remove stars which work exceptionally well: two of the most popular ones being StarNet and RC-Astro’s StarXTerminator. I’m willing to …

I used Astra on one of my old observatories (an aging Explora-Dome) and I can say it's definitely a very nice experience compared to "legacy" tools like ACP from DC3. That being sa…

I think GP was mostly referring to astrophotography when it comes to light-polluted areas. I live in a bortle 9 area (downtown) and unless I bring out my 20" dobsonian I'm mostly v…

Funny I should see this on the front page, since I’m one of the (likely) few lunatics on HN who rents a pier at Starfront. So far I can say that they’re definitely one of the bette…

Yeah, I've always been surprised[1] when people come out claiming to be Satoshi but ignore this very blatant writing style in their own texts. I haven't really interacted that much…

Yes, it works, but there are some issues. The first one being that the SoC configuration runs in DS-compatibility mode which does not expose all of the available RAM in the DSi, an…

I very fondly remember this project when I was growing up too, and I credit it with sparking my interest in kernel development. When trying to port some industrial control software…

Sorry, I think this might tangentially be my fault. I know someone who works on the GitHub team and let them know about the situation via IM. A few minutes later both the account a…

If by "lens flares" we're referring to the 6 spikey lines jetting from the stars, those are known as diffraction spikes and are a result of the 3 spider vanes holding the secondary…

Funny I should see this on the front page of HN the day before I finish my Stellarium port for Nintendo Switch [1]. Unfortunately a lot of the UI code in the 1.0 release made it ha…

Funny how two people can hack two separate home phones to run DOOM without realizing it until after the fact. For perspective, I posted a blog article about modifying a CaptionCall…

Some of the reviews also seem comically fake, take for example this 5 star review for the "Airpod Pros": 'You will love these earbuds . I mainly use the wireless earbuds, I am very…

Manjaro on the PinePhone currently has 2 branches. The first alphas used Plasma Mobile and another branch of alphas use Phosh. Work on the Plasma Mobile builds seems to have slowed…

I don't expect much from anti-malware companies, but this is one of those moments that made me absolutely dumbfounded that someone actually thought embedding an entire un-sandboxed…

I was only around at Codeweavers for a part of this huge undertaking, and only contributed a small part of the 32-on-64 MacOS patchset, but I must say this was one of the most impr…

What are you referring to regarding pthread_create()? Last time I checked I thought that it would return an undefined thread* only when giving a nonzero return code, which while ce…

Wow, I remember booting up your port on my XE to run a Minecraft server on my Google glass during a vacation; thanks for all your hard work making pmOS better!

FWIW I maintain a port of Debian stable for my XO-1 with IceWM and it's extremely resource-light on the aging OLPC hardware. I'd be happy to throw up the build scripts on GitHub if…
