Show HN: Aliasing as Art – Moiré Patternshttp://www.nukacourt.com/moire.htmlI've found myself focusing on all the chaos going on in the world to an extent that's not healthy. So I decided to make some art that tries to find a little beauty in what otherwise seems chaotic.This is based on the concept of aliasing[1]. That's exactly what anti-aliasing is normally trying to address in computer graphics, but here aliasing is leveraged to generate interesting visuals. It took some doing to overpower the anti-aliasing that browsers insist on doing. If you look at the JS embedded in the HTML, you'll see that it's nothing more than ~4,000 straight lines being drawn from the center of the window to the edge of the circle that circumscribes the corners of the window. Those lines alternate between cyan and purple, all on a yellow background. The elaborate patterns are merely interactions between the jaggies[2] of adjacent lines. If you want to get more intuition for this, try downloading the source and increasing the increment size in the loop (i.e., the `milliradians +=

Show HN: A crypto social trading platform that improves Etoro's copy-trade modelhttps://tordess.comHey HN,I was watching an interview of Caroline Ellison (CEO of Alameda Research) the other day and found it interesting that she never uses stoploss (no wonder shit happened). One of the most important skills for traders is how to set up stoploss and stick to it when stoploss is about to hit. I see that most crypto traders don't follow this principle.There is a huge demand for social trading (similar to Etoro) from crypto traders. Fact: 76.2% crypto traders surveyed say that they want to have social trading (copy-trade) features - Source: Statista (2021). There have been multiple attempts from various crypto start-ups (including the ones backed by major crypto exchanges such as Binance or Bybit) trying to build Etoro-equivalent for crypto.However, due to the volatile nature of crypto markets, most of the top traders on such platforms are pure gamblers, who may have luck once in a while. Most of the copiers there cannot obtain sustainable profits from copying the top traders. Users do n

Meson, a build system for C/C++/Fortran/D will reach 1.0 in the next releasehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33606649Yesterday took a look and looking at the docs and to my surprise! https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-1-0-0.htmlAfter 10 years of development, at last, Meson seems it will reach 1.0 status in the next release :)As it has been a long time and this is my personal favorite build system, I would like to share here what makes Meson worth a try in my opinion.For whoever does not know Meson, Meson is a build system generator just like CMake and it is becoming the standard for many uses in the Linux world but it also plays well in Windows, unlike Autotools or Make, which are quite hard to handle in non-unix systems.It supports C, C++, Vala (for Gnome), Fortran, D and limited support for Rust and Java. It can mix and match native binaries as well when compiling and it comes with the usual tweaks for flags, etc, per binary, project, etc. It has its own package system, wraps, and a very well-thought subprojects model (dependencies) but it is also compatible with Conan via pkg-config.Some of

Ask HN: Can someone explain these documentaries about USD or fiat money to me?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33600186There are a lot of documentaries (1) (2) on Youtube I'm seeing since 2020 which keep saying that our money (specifically USD) has become worthless ever since Nixon removed the gold standard in 1971. Is there any truth to it or is just clickbait spam?I would reckon it's the later since the claim sounds like a Flat earth claims, but recently I saw the same claim from a creator I really trust and follow for a long time and so I'm asking here as I see if anyone more knowledgeable can explain this.tldr:1. The fed reserve prints money and asks treasury to print IOU. People buy these IOU essentially giving loans to the US govt. The govt then pays these loans back by printing more money by creating more IOUs and so on and so forth.. so they are saying it's like a Ponzi scheme.2. Previously there had to be gold equivalent but since 1971 this was removed. Now all other currencies are based on USD, yet USD which was once based on gold isn't anymore..3. There are more points like these govt trying

Agile sucks for software development and I’m tired of pretending it doesn’thttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33578928Warning: Unpopular opinion ahead.Agile extremists love to dance around the broken record of: “but Agile is what ‘high-performing’ development teams use”.Is it?According to who?What study?What was the sample size?How long was the study run?What caliber of companies were included in the study?Most importantly, what was the percentage increase in deliverability/speed/efficiency/developer happiness/customer happiness when using agile vs without?These are questions the agile overlords either don’t know or refuse to provide the answer to.Even if said studies exist (hint: quality ones don’t), those studies would likely have been conducted by statisticians who have never worked on a development team, thus making their study unqualified right out of the gate.I don’t know what your definition of high-performance is but my definition would be along the lines of “delivering high-quality software quickly and efficiently”.Now please explain to me what part about spending half the day in meetings rat

Show HN: Resmo – Run SQL, Free Text Search on Cloud and SaaS Configurationshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33521836Hello, It's been a long time since I made a Show HN, I want to present our startup Resmo, and would love any feedback.- Site: https://www.resmo.com- Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCqT-xUW27IWe've left Atlassian to build Resmo one year ago. In short, we collect configuration data from APIs of cloud providers and 40+ SaaS tools. Main reason is, even properly knowing what you have in all those tools becomes bothersome quickly, we faced it hard with hyper-growth. We make it easy to collect this data, explore it various ways and create rules. Fully-managed.Main features I'd like to higlight are:* Run SQL: You can ask any question limited to your SQL writing creativity. You can query if a SaaS user exists in your IdP at all.* Free text search: Search UUIDs, names, telephone numbers. You won't believe what pops up.* Relations: We automatically map relations between resources, even differnet tools. So your domain in Cloudflare might be poiniting an EC2 Instance.* User discovery: Find

Is yes, how is this good for gaming?Is the old hyper competitive, destroy the competition at any cost Microsoft back, in the form of Xbox?I thought we were being led to believe it was a new Microsoft, kinder, more platform agnostic.Why wouldn't Microsoft want to release all its games for Playstation, just a few months later, same way as it develops applications for Macos?What happens if Microsoft "wins", by using its money to own all the most popular game publishers - then there's only one gaming console left? How is that good for gamers? Where's the competition? Why would Microsoft bother releasing another Xbox console after that?

Show HN: Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germanyhttps://lohntastik.de/gns/gross-net-salary-calculatorMany people from a migrant background have difficulty understanding the German income tax system. Therefore, as a side project, I have created a multilingual gross-net-salary calculator for Germany. With this side project, my main goals are:1. to create an intuitive method for non-German speakers to easily understand how and what is deducted from their gross salary in Germany,2. to translate the calculator into Eastern and Central European languages (as they represent one of the largest groups of migrant workers in Germany) to make it easier for them to understand the German income tax system,3. make it mobile-friendly so that anyone with only a mobile phone can easily use it.I am currently working on translations into Russian and Farsi (based on the requests from several organisations who are working with refugees in Germany), with other languages to follow.The website is already available in the following languages: Arabic, English, German, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukrainian.What do you

Ask HN: Have you ever experienced eBay refusing to pay youhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33471484I recently sold about $2500 worth of total sales on ebay. After they took their ~$500 fee they have now restricted my account and requested information to confirm my identity, address, and proof of owning the product. Fine, whatever, I send the the requested info (scanned my Drivers License, provided a bill with my name and address on it, and provided all receipts of the products). The items I was selling were the codes for in game items for Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. They have a promotion running where if you buy a meal they give a code for in game items. Since they are not available everywhere in the world I figured I would attempt to sell some and eBay was explicitly told what I was selling with them never saying that was any kind of issue. They are now telling me that unless I can provide an invoice they will not be unlocking my account and will be holding the $2000 that was supposed to be paid out and I will be out approximately $900 that I spent obtaining the codes. It's als
