New comment by ezedv in "Ask HN: Is source code escrow still a thing?"

ezedv — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 14:31:15 +0000

Source code escrow can indeed be a consideration in scenarios like this, where your platform is used in an OEM capacity. While it can provide reassurance to the customer, it's important to navigate it carefully. There are licenses, such as the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the Apache License, that can protect your commercial interests while ensuring the availability of the source code.

To delve deeper into software licensing and commercial protection, Rather Labs (https://www.ratherlabs.com) offers insights into AI, GPT, and blockchain development, which can be valuable in addressing such complex matters. It's worth exploring to make informed decisions regarding source code escrow.

New comment by ezedv in "Ask HN: Can you suggest advanced books on all type differential equations?"

ezedv — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 14:19:59 +0000

Absolutely, if you're looking for advanced books on differential equations, I'd recommend "Partial Differential Equations" by Lawrence C. Evans for a comprehensive coverage of PDEs. For a more specialized focus on Ordinary Differential Equations, "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Vladimir I. Arnold is a fantastic choice. And for a deep dive into Stochastic Differential Equations, check out "Stochastic Differential Equations" by Bernt Øksendal.

New comment by ezedv in "Ask HN: Good practices for my first C project?"

ezedv — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 14:18:15 +0000

It's fantastic to see your enthusiasm for delving into C programming and the world of PSOne game development! As you're exploring the C language, consider adhering to best practices for memory management, like pairing every allocation with an eventual deallocation (malloc/free).

Using prefixes for globals/pointers (like g_ or p_) can help with code readability. For error handling, you might find returning error codes or using errno and perror a more conventional approach.

As for tools, consider using static code analyzers like Clang's Scan-build or AddressSanitizer to catch potential issues early.

For more insights into programming and development, you can explore Rather Labs (https://www.ratherlabs.com), where you might find valuable resources to aid your journey. Happy coding!

New comment by ezedv in "Ask HN: What do you like to see in tech talks?"

ezedv — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 14:08:35 +0000

To make a tech talk memorable, a combination of elements often works best. Mind-blowing demos can capture attention, but they should be followed by in-depth explanations of the underlying code.

A compelling storytelling that weaves your content into real-world scenarios can engage the audience. Additionally, interactive elements or hands-on exercises, if applicable, can enhance the learning experience. And always encourage questions and discussions to make it more participatory.

Wishing you the best of luck at pgconf.eu, and I'm sure your dedication to delivering an unforgettable presentation will shine through!

ezedv — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 14:07:08 +0000

It's great that you're looking to collaborate and improve your open source projects. To attract contributors, consider promoting your projects on various developer platforms, such as Reddit's r/opensource, dev.to, or Twitter, using relevant hashtags.

Engage with the open source community, participate in discussions, and provide constructive feedback on others' projects. Collaborative coding platforms like Gitpod or pairing sessions can also attract interest. Lastly, continuously improving and documenting your projects can make them more appealing.

Your dedication to mentoring contributors is commendable, and it may attract like-minded developers.

New comment by ezedv in "Ask HN: Possible to make a game engine in the browser?"

ezedv — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 14:06:48 +0000

Creating a browser-based game engine with file system access and WebGPU support is promising, but it does come with limitations. Browser-based engines may face performance bottlenecks compared to native desktop engines due to factors like limited hardware access and reliance on web technologies. They might also have restrictions on file system access for security reasons.

However, the advantage lies in accessibility and ease of distribution. For complex, resource-intensive games, native engines like Unity or Unreal may still offer superior performance and capabilities, but browser-based engines can reach a broader audience with simpler games or interactive web experiences.

Your website https://ray.run/ does have that nostalgic early 2000s vibe, which is cool! Regarding the search functionality, you might want to explore open-source alternatives to Algolia.

Projects like Elasticsearch, Solr, or even using Google Custom Search can provide search capabilities without the cost. They might require a bit more setup and maintenance, but they can be budget-friendly options for a free community.

ezedv — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 12:50:24 +0000

Being without internet can be a great opportunity to focus on skill-building offline. For your design work in Figma, you can sketch ideas on paper and refine them digitally later. For coding, download relevant documentation and tutorials beforehand.

Books on React Native/ReactJS can also be handy. Consider working on personal projects or code challenges to sharpen your skills. Plus, offline time can foster creativity and problem-solving. Embrace the break from distractions, and you'll likely return with fresh insights and improved skills.

Enjoy your time in the middle of nowhere!

ezedv — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 12:47:32 +0000

While Macs, especially the Mac Studio with M2 Max, offer impressive performance, NVIDIA GPUs on Windows-based machines are still the go-to for many AI tasks due to CUDA support and compatibility with popular AI frameworks.

However, Apple's Silicon chips are making strides in this field. It ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences. Consider your software ecosystem, budget, and whether you need portability.

Both options have their strengths, so research thoroughly to make the best choice for your AI projects.

ezedv — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 13:43:32 +0000

One classic choice is "Infinity and the Mind" by Rudy Rucker, which explores infinity from both mathematical and philosophical perspectives.

For a more mathematical approach, "Understanding Infinity: The Mathematics of Infinite Processes" by A.C. Davis is a comprehensive option.

And if you're interested in the history of mathematical ideas, "The Mystery of the Aleph: Mathematics, the Kabbalah, and the Search for Infinity" by Amir D. Aczel is a fascinating read.
