Ask HN: Encouraging a child's gaming PC build despite fear of gaming addiction?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4826332112yo son is doing dedicated research on gaming PC parts and binge-watches videos on how to build (he's not a native English speaker and has no real electronics skills, so this is quite impressive tbh). Me the dad, however, fears that I'm witnessing a FPS addict being born.What's a good Middle Way here? Kid actually building the machine all by himself -- 100% yes, even if it's quite expensive; kid then Counter Striking, Call of Dutying etc for hours on dat 27" screen -- ugh!What complicates things is that I myself am more of a "computational minimalist" using 15 year old machines in a cli-only environment etc. I've tried to show him That Path also ("dude, here's some Turbo Pascal for ya!"), but, well, obviously he's preferring those addictively engineered and GPU-hungry multiplayer games with his friends any day.He's a good kid all in all, actively engaged in competitive rowing, with good grades etc. Plays chess also (but all the other folks are FPSing or Minecrafting, so there's that).

Keeping NASA Flying: Ground Crews Ensure Aircraft Readinesshttps://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/armstrong/keeping-nasa-flying-ground-crews-ensure-aircraft-readiness/From high‑speed research flights to high‑altitude science campaigns, NASA depends on aircraft that perform at their best and the ground crews who keep them mission ready. At NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, specially trained maintenance crews are essential to keeping the agency’s aircraft flying safely and reliably. This year, NASA added two […]

Show HN: CrowdRank – live leaderboards for internet argumentshttps://crowdrank.appHi HN. I built CrowdRank, a small web app where people vote through head-to-head matchups and the results become a live leaderboard.Backstory:A few years ago, while I was learning to code, I wanted to build a Tinder-style voting app to rank the funniest characters from The Office. I hit a lot of dead ends, mostly on the frontend, and abandoned it.Now with a bit more technical background i rebuilt the idea as a more general platform. The backend/API is Laravel, and I used AI heavily to help build the frontend because somehow centering a div still finds ways to humble me.What did I end up building?A web based platform for ranking candidates inside different topics. There are no community-created topics yet. For now, I seeded a bunch of debates and used an Elo style ranking system, similar to chess ratings, to build a live leaderboard for each debate.No signup is needed to try it.A few example debates:- who’s actually funny in The Office? (of course)- programming language that sparks the

Show HN: Objo Studiohttps://objo.devObjo Studio is a new development environment for building desktop and command line apps. It has a visual designer, a debugger, a compiler, and a modern BASIC-like language called ObjoBasic. The aim is simple: make it enjoyable to build real applications for macOS, Windows and Linux and learn how to program.I've been working on Objo Studio in one shape or another since about 2019. I've always loved tools that let you move quickly from idea to working prototype and that abstract a lot of complexity and get out of your way. This has been tried before (VisualBasic, Xojo, etc) but have either been abandoned, become expensive or lost focus on hobbyists.The whole stack is written in C#. There's a custom stack-based VM that is roughly on-par with Python for speed but this is not a high performance tool. It's an all-in-one IDE for visually developing cross-platform desktop apps. It tries to make it simple for users, abstracting runtimes and libraries to help newcomers learn but also let them th

Show HN: Mobile-ink, an open-source mobile infinite drawing canvashttps://github.com/mathnotes-app/mobile-inkHello everyone, I have been working on this for a year and it is such a difficult problem. mobile-ink is an open-source mobile infinite drawing canvas. There is not a strong open-source drawing engine beyond toy demos. Thus, mobile-ink aims to solve this problem and provide a state-of-the-art mobile note-taking canvas package.mobile-ink uses native Skia/Metal to address issues with native rendering, pencil latency, eraser behavior, page virtualization, preview caching, memory stability, page interactivity, etc. It has many advanced features such as shape-snapping, primitives to integrate figures, custom backgrounds, pdf import, stroke selection, smooth zoom/scroll, and more.The package is iOS + React Native as of now.

Show HN: Core – open-source AI butler that clears your backlog without youhttps://www.getcore.me/Hi HN, we're Manik, Manoj and Harshith, and we're building CORE (https://github.com/RedPlanetHQ/core), an open source AI butler that acts and clears out your backlog.Write `[ ] Fix the search auth bug` in a scratchpad. Three minutes later, without you at the keyboard, CORE picks it up, pulls the relevant context from your codebase, drafts a plan in the task description, and spins up a Claude Code session in the background to do the work. You review the output in the task chat and unblock it when it gets stuck.Every AI tool today is reactive. You open a chat, brief the agent, it responds. Before anything moves, you've already done the real work: opened the Sentry error, found the commit, read the Slack thread, grabbed the Linear ticket, and stitched it all together into a prompt. The model isn't the bottleneck. You are.Demo Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFk4RJvQg1YCORE removes you from that loop.

Show HN: Reinhardt – Django-style Rust framework; WASM+SSR from one DSLhttps://github.com/kent8192/reinhardt-webReinhardt is a Rust web framework where one component DSL compiles to both WASM (client) and server-rendered HTML — a single file describes both sides of a page, with no separate frontend codebase, no JS build toolchain, and no duplicated types across the client/server boundary.It also bundles what Django/DRF users expect: an ORM with auto-generated migrations from #[model] macros, DI, auth, admin, REST, background tasks, and i18n. Feature flags let you pull in just what you need (minimal / standard / full), or import individual crates directly.I built it after moving from Django/DRF to Rust and repeatedly re-assembling the same Axum + ORM + migrations + auth stack for every project.Quickstart: https://reinhardt-web.dev/quickstart/v0.1.0-rc.18 release: Crates.io (published as reinhardt-web; the shorter name was taken): https://crates.io/crates/reinhardt-webBSD 3-Clause.
