Elite 40th Anniversary – Source code release
Today, 20th September 2024, is the 40th anniversary of the day the world first experienced Elite, the 3D space trading and combat game written by Ian Bell and David Braben, first on the BBC Microcomputer in conjunction with Acornsoft. To commemorate this, I have added further sources (Apple, Atari, C64, NES, SNES (unfinished) “Elite”; […]

Discord Reduced WebSocket Traffic by 40%
Pushing Further While our initial experimentation proved that zstandard streaming outperformed zlib streaming, the remaining question we had was: “How far can we push this?” Our initial experiments used the default settings for zstandard and we wanted to know how high we could push our compression ratio by playing around with the compression settings. So […]

Mitosis in the Gray-Scott model: writing shader-based chemical simulations
The Gray Scott Model of Reaction Diffusion is an interesting instance of emergence. By simulating a small chemical system that involves only a few components and reactions, complex and mesmerizing patterns appear. You can interact with the simulation above by clicking on it to drop some green and you can reset it by pressing the […]
Show HN: Put this touch sensor on a robot and learn super precise tasks
While tactile sensing is widely accepted as an important and useful sensing modality, its use pales in comparison to other sensory modalities like vision and proprioception. AnySkin addresses the critical challenges of versatility, replaceability, and data reusability, which have so far impeded the development of an effective solution. Building on the simplistic design of ReSkin, […]

Understudied protein blobs have global effects on cell biochemistry
Biological condensates within cells—the yellow masses seen within these long cylinders—provide cells with a way to control their internal electrostatic biochemistry. Credit: Yifan Dai, Washington University of St. Louis Most biological chemistry research has historically focused on the obvious cogs of machinery that keep life moving. Folding proteins, genetic activity and electrical signaling pathways are […]

Reactive Relational Algebra
Personally, relational algebra feels more “invented” than “discovered”. Sometimes the whole thing smells like a kludge that weasled its way into modern CS curricula. But hey, if you’re rigorously thinking about databases/tables/spreadsheets, and you need to build on the work of really really smart people, then relational algebra starts looking like an attractive corner of […]
