recess VS oorb

Someone compiled this a while ago which is a pretty good starter list for content discovery: https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs

I've imported most of them into https://app.recessfeed.com/ and found some nice ones to follow through that

Would love to hear if you think there's a solution to this.

I have some ideas, which I wrote about here: https://github.com/yakkomajuri/recess/blob/main/manifesto-is...

Curious if you think this makes sense.

Imagine my surprise to see OpenOrb, the standard open source software package for orbit determination and minor planet propagation, on the front page of HackerNews. Its interesting software with a beautiful theoretical basis in Bayesian statistics, and a gnarly Fortran codebase - I can’t wait to see the discussion!

Oh.

It’s one thing to land near a name in use. It is quite another to take it directly!

Mostly Python and Fortran. See for example https://github.com/oorb/oorb.

The hardest problems are always the social ones. How do you get uptake of a new method, how do you get funding, how do you politely tell a collaboration they are doing the wrong thing, etc.

But if you mean pure technical stuff - the hardest problem I had to solve was rethinking some of the inner loops of the THOR algorithm. The problem was essentially to speed up a Hough transform in 6D space. Lots of time spent profiling CPU cache timings to get that fast.
