When housing is unaffordable, this artist’s device makes pedaling harderhttps://www.theverge.com/tech/980359/ground-truth-justin-blinder-housing-affordable-bike-pedalJustin Blinder had just been laid off when he first came up with the idea for Ground Truth. It was 2020, two weeks before covid lockdown went into effect, and the Brooklyn-based artist and technologist had no idea what the future would hold. He started working for the food delivery apps, and as he was riding his bike across the city, he began noticing the stark differences between neighborhoods. "...

Show HN: LuaCAD – Parametric CAD Scripted in Luahttps://luacad.ad-si.comLuaCAD models solids in Lua rather than the OpenSCAD language, with operator overloading for CSG (`a + b`, `a - b`, `a * b`).It ships with a CLI and a desktop app, including a preview area and a text editor.I've always been a big fan of OpenSCAD, but the SCAD language itself is unfortunately quite cobbled-together and is a very poorly designed programming language.LuaCAD takes all the good parts of OpenSCAD and combines them with one of the best scripting languages. It has now completely replaced OpenSCAD for me, and I think it provides a better experience than OpenSCAD for all use cases. I'd love to hear any reasons why LuaCAD shouldn't fully replace OpenSCAD!It’s fully open source and you can find the repo here: https://github.com/ad-si/LuaCADTech stack:- It's implemented in Rust and uses mlua (https://github.com/mlua-rs/mlua) to execute the Lua code.- Uses OpenCSG (https://opencsg.org) for fast and correct rendering of the 3D models (like OpenSCAD)- Uses Manifold (https://github.com

Kakehashi Update: Running Apple Clang build and lowering overhead to 1.24xhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49299613Hello again HN!After 11 days, I'm back with an update about Kakehashi. I want to thank you for your support! Thank you for all your stars, comments. I didn't expect you to be so interested in the project.What's new:I managed to significantly accelerate the implementation process. Now, 7zip lags by just 1.24x compared to native Linux performance, and the Lua build differs literally by 1.5 to 2 seconds from a native launch. The Lua build fails to compile via kh run make due to Linux-specific flags, which mirrors its behavior on native macOS. However, if it is built using kh run gcc -- -Wall -O2 -DLUA_USE_MACOSX -std=c99 onelua.c -lreadline -o /tmp/lua-onelua, everything compiles, builds, and runs perfectly. Overall, I am currently actively working on the following binaries: git, clang, make, xcrun, otool, gcc, curl, 7zip, rm, ls, sh, csh, zsh, bash, and the Rust installation script. Please note that you currently need to manually port the /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib/zsh folders f

Show HN: A painting engine that lets you sculpt drawings (tech demo)https://softedge-techdemo.jign.workers.dev/This is a playable tech demo. All painting software (Photoshop, Krita, etc.) rasterize your strokes as you work. This means the stroke is frozen forever. You may use some tools like perspective warp or liquefy but they are quite limited. The Soft Edge engine instead keeps a record of your strokes as data and rasterization happens on the fly, on each frame, like in a game engine. This lets you sculpt any property of your stroke.Right now you can paint the following targets: pressure (which makes the stroke thicker or thinner), colour, and its position (you can grab the stroke after it was drawn).The UI is a shell written in React. The more interesting part is the renderer, it's coded in Rust and compiled to WASM and WebGPU. The performance is quite nice, and has room to improve even more. All input is routed through WASM so pointer events are really, really fast, stroke polling feels like a completely native app, there's no React sluggishness anywhere in the actual painting process.
