Make Map Icons with Orthographic Projections

news.ycombinator.com You Are Going To Send Email To 2026-01-12 06:01:06

An orthographic projection is the best approximation of a view of the earth from space. It’s an azimuthal perspective projection which creates an illusion of a three-dimensional globe. It’s an old projection, believed to have first been developed by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In our time this perspective feels natural since our culture has assimilated how our planet looks from a spacecraft. A good example is Earth’s first portrait, taken from Apollo 8 mission astronauts in 1968: This pr

Jqfmt like gofmt, but for jq

Description I'm frequently passed long shell one-liners that require some visual inspection before running. These days, there's about as much jq in that one-liner as there is bash. I wrote jqfmt to help add line breaks in sensible locations while reading (or writing!) jq. At time of initial development, I naturally turned to https://github.com/itchyny/gojq expecting to be able to generate and walk a syntax tree—but gojq didn't seem to provide an AST that could be "walked," and it doesn't expor

The fan-made mod of the original Fallout game has a real trailer and it looks sick

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-12 11:29:11

Fallout: Bakersfield is a fan-made mod of the 1990s original that's been on our radar for a few years. We got a little teaser back in 2022 , but it's been radio silence since then. Now there's an actual trailer filled with gameplay footage and it looks pretty nifty. Developer Alexander "Red888guns" Berezin is the brains behind the project and he used the GZDoom engine to recreate the ghoul city of Necropolis from Fallout 1 as an FPS that resembles the newer games. The art style is pretty incred

Memory Efficiency in iOS: Reducing footprint and beyond

Previously, we explored how memory is measured and what tools are available for inspecting usage in iOS apps. Now, let’s shift our focus to reducing memory consumption using a set of practical techniques and development best practices. But first let’s discuss different approaches to treat this problem.

Mercedes-Benz’s Latest Decision Signals Trouble Ahead for EVs

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-12 11:01:03

We are likely to see this story repeat itself, with only the names at the top changing. Mercedes-Benz’s latest announcement does not bode well for the future of electric vehicles in the United States, especially as federal tax breaks are set to expire. On September 30, the federal incentives introduced under the Biden administration to support EV adoption will officially disappear. These tax credits were designed to offset the higher cost of EVs compared to gas-powered vehicles. But with the cl

Also called the Lawson Criteria, fusion triple product defines the threshold that must be exceeded for a plasma to produce more fusion power than the heating power injected. It marks the point where the energy balance across the plasma becomes positive, and the fusion reaction can sustain itself without (or with greatly reduced) external heating. The triple product is derived from three factors—ion temperature (T), density (n) and energy confinement time (τ). In any future fusion power plant, a

After launching 37 different products over the last few years, I’ve had one go viral and almost all the others struggle to get any traction at all.

Is your house power-starved? Why the extra juice might be worth the squeeze

zdnet.com Mike Lock 2026-01-13 16:00:15

BlackJack3D/Getty The hair dryer routinely trips the breaker and kills power to the second floor. The kitchen lights dim when you run the microwave. The air conditioner can only cool one room at a time on a sweltering night. You don't have adequate power in your house to support your daily needs; we've all been there.

Chinese Scientists Invent System for Extracting Oxygen, Water and Rocket Fuel From Moon Dust

Chinese researchers say they've devised a new way to extract water from lunar soil and convert it into fuel. As detailed in a new paper published today in the journal Joule, the team found that their proposed "photothermal strategy" — essentially converting light into heat — could effectively convert carbon dioxide from extracted water into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and oxygen gas, a "potential route for sustaining human life on the Moon and enabling long-term extraterrestrial exploration."

Everyone says 2025 is the year of AI agents. The headlines are everywhere: "Autonomous AI will transform work," "Agents are the next frontier," "The future is agentic." Meanwhile, I've spent the last year building many different agent systems that actually work in production. And that's exactly why I'm betting against the current hype.

You had Visual Basic, you had a rich ecosystem of components, you could wire them together to create apps, standing on the shoulders of the coders who built those components. If you’re younger than 45 you may not know what that was like, nor realize web components have never worked the same way.
