https://whoishiring.io It started as HN's "Who is hiring" thread but on the map and with better search. Mainly to solve the mess with suff like: SOMA, SF, valley, San Francisco, there is way too many ways to describe this one location ;) Also there not much of a difference when you are looking from Europe if it's Palo Alto or San Francisco. Although right now it is more than that, I've wrote parsers for 8 major IT re…

Symmetry Labs! http://symmetrylabs.com/ I'm working on a new paradigm for creating generative content for 3D displays (at the moment with LEDs). I'm also working on real-time, single-angle virtual reconstruction and registration of 3D LED structures using computer vision techniques.

Holy crap, those are some beautiful designs.

Spyce: Python in outer space! Basically, a very much work-in-progress pile of code to plan orbital trajectories and interplanetary travel. Its also quite handy when doing simple computations: >>> # distance to the Sun, in light-seconds >>> Earth.orbit.semi_major_axis / c 499.00650691887006 >>> # Martian year, in (usual Earth) days >>> Mars.orbit.period / Earth.solar_day 686.9944644093075 >>> # ping to New Horizons (l…

Awesome! Pretty easy to get it up and running, not counting OpenGL. What would be really cool to see is an example of how you could use this to interactively calculate, say, the path of some of the satellites we've launched into the outer solar system that needed complicated orbital trajectories.

Very cool! We're in the processing of building up an open-source stack for the space industry. Engaged with a few partners already. Would you be interested in having a chat?
