Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one, not today
React has changed a lot with the addition of contexts but that’s the modern way to handle it without using some kind of state management.
I think most state management libraries are far more expensive to use than people realize. Contexts are pretty straightforward and Just Work so I’d keep using them unless you have a very good reason to switch.
I know it blew my mind too when I first started building this! It’s such a cool project to get to build!
Wow thanks! If you like this, on Monday I’m planning to release an update that will let you rewind the viewer all the way back to 1959 and see the first launch of Sputnik. Then let it play forward to today sped up so you can see the growth of satellite counts. Also a new public API to fetch the TLEs from any date. I’m hoping this will let folks do interesting stuff with all that data - maybe AI training or research projects etc.
Wow thanks so much!
Yes, so I’m taking every telescope/radio/radar reading I’m allowed to redistribute and then collecting them into a time series database and fetching the most recent reading for each sat into a text file. That’s the TLE download in the public API. Then I use Rust WASM to propagate those readings into positions that are synced with the viewer time. This allows us to very roughly forecast where they will be for the next couple days.
It’s cool because it’s too much data to transfer over the network, so we only transfer the most recent reading and then calculate positions live in the browser.
Green is active, orange is debris or dead sats. When a GEO sat runs out of life / power / fuel the operators are supposed to move it out of the main corridor to make room, so often they are in the same ring but higher or lower
Yeah that’s what my one guy said was enough at the time, and we’ve got some European partners who never brought it up, so maybe it’s good enough with the banner?
I’m not familiar, what is the law, that we cannot use authentication cookies or google/twitter analytics cookies?
Indeed, that’s a joke I’m always saying, that every sat is the size of rhode island
Hey I am into this! Check out this site I built for tracking satellites!
It’s worth a try, you should be able to run an Ubuntu image in distrobox to install the ollama tools
The biggest thing I’ve heard people suggest (and I’ve been using) is to install distrobox. I use it to install some fussy apps that otherwise would have been a dealbreaker. Maybe that helps?
Congrats!
I concur, I went with bazzite for my daily driver and it’s been the best yet, I prefer it over the others I’ve tried: Arch, SteamOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, and OpenSuse.
It’s got downsides, but I just really like it.
Whoa whoa, what do you want to do, crash the entire US stock market over here?! Our whole economy is propped up by the story that AI is the future and will replace all jobs forever. We’ve got MS paying OpenAI paying Nvidia, and that’s making the line go up.
So let’s be cool with throwing around “numbers” that “prove” the emperor has no clothes. Because, like, we gotta pretend he does at least until the next thing that needs every video card ever.
F# is such a fantastic language.
I’d not hesitate a second to use it (and Fable) for my own startup. I’m very comfortable with Ruby, Clojure, Haskell, Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Typescript, and C#. Yet I would pick F# over all of those in a heartbeat.
F# has great type safety (but not forced into monad transformer chaos like Haskell). You need about 1/3rd less code than C# and Java, and the compiler will find more bugs than in those languages.
A few favorites:
Let’s be real, Witcher 3 is just a Gwent launcher.
Also I’ve definitely played more Pazaak than KOTOR.
I’m sure someone will be like “um akchuly” to my explanation. But for me it’s good enough to think if it that way.
I’ve worked in Haskell and F# for a decade, and added some of the original code to the Unison compiler, so I’m at least passingly familiar with the subject. Enough that I’ve had to explain it to new hires a bunch of times to get them to to speed. I find it easier to learn something when I’m given a practical use for it and how it solves that problem.
I’ve been hosting Home Assistant now for about nine months very smoothly. So far the only outage has been when I moved the server into a different room last week because it was cluttering up my office. Feels good to have it tucked away in a closet. I’ve got my thermostat, and all my upstairs lights running through it. I keep trying to get these moisture sensors to work for my plants but they just keep losing signal or something and rtl433 just stops seeing those but meanwhile detects every other damn hardware on the whole block. I’ve got 500+ entities that aren’t my three sensors lol. Once I figure that out my Plant Cards dashboard will work again which is super cool.
Other than that, I’ve been hosting Jellyfin for home media and digging it. Much less success with the 'arr suite, it works and stays up but it really struggles to automatically find the weird-ass old niche media I’m looking for. I generally have to handle that part manually, but at least they are good as wishlist of what I’m looking for so I can use that just to keep track.
All in all these two servers (home assistant OS on an old laptop, jellyfin and arr on my former Ubuntu desktop) have been great and just work really without any issues.
Oh last week when I moved them into the closet, they got assigned new IP addresses, so I figured out how to lock them so my clients and bookmarks still work.
