Recreating Real-World Terrain with React, Three.js and WebGL Shaders
Nice writeup, I always like it when the shaders are highlighted like this. I got started in a similar way 7 years ago and have been making 3D terrains with THREE.js & WebGL since.
The real fun begins when you need to implement some sort of Level-of-Detail system and streaming in data to give the illusion of high detail everywhere without sacrificing performance.
Last year I released an open-source framework (https://github.com/felixpalmer/procedural-gl-js) for creating 3D terrains for web applications, you can see Uluru here: https://www.procedural.eu/map/?longitude=131.036&latitude=-2... (unfortunately the aerial imagery from our default provider isn't as high resolution as other places in Europe)

Visualization of 40M Cell Towers
Great visualization and approach with compressing the tile data. Do you have a comparison of how much smaller the payload ends up being compared to simply sending PNG files?
I use PNGs to encode elevation data in my 3D mapping library (https://github.com/felixpalmer/procedural-gl-js/) and this does a pretty good job of compressing the data, for example in the ocean the PNG files are also very small as the image is mostly black. Different use case I now as your data is much more sparse, but I wonder how close the PNG compression would be compared to your approach.

React Component for 3D Maps
Yeah, the React parts of this are very minimal. I'm not really sure what using it gets you, since it just manages a single div.
The _actual_ library that does all the work is here: https://github.com/felixpalmer/procedural-gl-js

Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
- Tiny filesize means library is parsed fast. Package size is less than THREE.js thanks to code stripping
Check it out on Github: https://github.com/felixpalmer/procedural-gl-js/

Mountain Peaks in WebGL
The imagery comes from the Orthofoto dataset on https://www.basemap.at/ - the actual texturing is done by the Procedural GL JS library https://github.com/felixpalmer/procedural-gl-js

Linen.dev – Building a chat app with Elixir and NextJS
The best language for the task at hand, when presented with time constraints, is the one that you already know well. OP said in the article that they authored Papercups [1]. Adopting Elixir for a websocket-push service makes a lot of sense, then. However, why don't you learn Elixir, some OTP, and then reconsider that question? You could be missing out.

Ask HN: What novel tools are you using to write web sites/apps?
Phoneix - Elixir
We're a live message tool and it is basically what Elixir is built for https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups.
The Elixir community has been great and incredibly friendly. I originally was worried about the size of the community but that hasn't been an issue the community has been super helpful. I also think the annual stackoverflow usage surveys are very misleading because most of the community's questions get asked in ElixirForum and not on Stackoverflow.
Phoneix is the web framework of Elixir which is very similar to Rails but minus a lot of the magic has been very helpful for our productivity as well.
If I had to built another service that is websocket heavy I would definitely use Elixir. Even if it was a standard crud app I would still most likely choose Elixir.
