Show HN: Welter's game, a little Nim-like combinatorial gamehttps://welter.fuglede.dkHi HN! Here's a little game I (and my buddy Claude, cf. the obvious CSS gradient tell) set up to explain to my kids some of things we were working on at work.So in the game you're taking turns moving coins down a line until no moves are possible. If you've taken a course on combinatorial game theory, you'll have come across the game of nim and you can think of this one as a variant of nim where there can only be a single coin in every square. The theory of how to play it isn't quite as well-established as for nim though; play with enough coins and I certainly find it quite tricky to mentally reason about whether a position is good or not.One fun fact about Welter's game is that its winning positions form the codewords of a particular error-correcting code called the constant weight binary lexicode (Conway and Sloane, 1986). What that means is that being good at the game is the same as being good at decoding messages in that code. Probably more fun to just play the game though.

Show HN: Pictolab (online HDR image editor)https://pictolab.io/Source code: http://github.com/anchpop/pictolabI love HDR, but until recently dynamic HDR content was hard to render in the browser. But now, with browsers shipping support for WebGPU and canvases with extended color spaces, it's actually feasible.So what I wanted to was make an image editor capable of doing the simple edits I often need to do, but with full HDR support, which is rare in browser editors. Turning up the brightness on an HDR-capable monitor is a great way to see what your monitor can do :PI tried to go overboard in every way I could. So brightness/saturation/hue adjustments use the okLCH color space, and there's an option to do a "content-aware resize" with seam carving, which is fast because it's parallelized using Sam Westrick's triangle-blocking algorithm [0].Also, the site supports importing HEIC photos as taken with an iPhone, which is surprisingly hard to do correctly. Libraries like libheic don't fully support the format used by iPhones, so if used naively the HDR

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.

Getting back into photography, ditching the phone camera in 2026?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47842292I've been looking through twenty-five-odd years of my own photos. The collection includes scanned 35mm and medium format images; digital pictures from a few Canon Powershot generations and a 20D SLR; and about five iPhones.I've noticed that the non-cell-phone pictures tended to be better, and that in general I seemed to have quite a bit more fun with photos taken with, well, "real" cameras. Probably the best ones were taken with the 20D, which for its time was a really nice camera, for which I was able to bring over some lenses from my film days.I wouldn't rule out more film photography but I think of that as a somewhat separate track. I'd like to get a digital camera that captures a bit more of what I enjoyed about film photography - that high image density, looking through a physical viewfinder, not necessarily curating images in real time... looking, shooting, and moving on.I've been following Fujifilm cameras for awhile in this market, having read about them here a few years ago.

Hidden circumbinary giant planet emerges from decade old Gemini datahttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Hidden_circumbinary_giant_planet_emerges_from_decade_old_Gemini_data_999.htmlBerlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 Astronomers have directly imaged a giant exoplanet orbiting a pair of stars, in a configuration reminiscent of the fictional Tatooine system but with the closest-known directly imaged planet to its twin suns in a binary system. The planet orbits a spectroscopic binary in the Scorpius-Centaurus association and was found buried in data taken nearly a decade ago with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI)
