    When searching on the internet for these type of apps, I didn't find many that were open-source AND easy to use. A lot of them had complicated interfaces, although they had loads of features as well. So what I had in mind when making Stack Solver was an app with a modern interface that has the most essential features. It is also well integrated with Microsoft Excel and renders a 3D customizable drawing. Stack Solver is programmed in C# using the WPF framework to ensure it is fast and light. The interface is built using WPF UI, a library that allows it to keep up with modern trends…

    Quick background: I used to code. Studied it in school, wrote some projects, but eventually convinced myself I wasn't cut out for it. Too slow, too many bugs, imposter syndrome — the usual story. So I pivoted, ended up as an investment associate at an early-stage angel fund, and haven't written real code in years. Fast forward to now. I'm a Buffett nerd — big believer in compound interest as a mental model for life. I run compound interest calculations constantly. Not because I need to, but because watching numbers grow over 30-40 years keeps me patient when markets get wild. It's basically…

    Q12 is a new web-based 2D parametric drawing tool built specifically for geometric problem solving, for playing interactive "what if" games with drawings, and for the design and optimization of mechanisms. Q12 has the usual set of drawing constraints found in other CAD tools (e.g. "lines are parallel") but also supports inequality constraints, area constraints, and arbitrary expressions between geometric quantities. We built Q12 to solve problems like those below, after finding that existing CAD systems couldn't handle them well: * Given dimensions on a surveyor's map, figure out if the…

    Hi HN, I'm a 19-year-old aerospace student. I spent the last 13 months building a custom Linux distro from scratch because I wanted to see if we could treat the OS kernel as a mathematical engine rather than a deterministic administrator. The Stack: Flux (The Shell): A custom math-native shell where x² and ∑ are valid syntax. It parses mathematical notation directly into optimized SIMD instructions (no Python wrapper). Tenet (The Scheduler): Written in Tenet (my custom DSL for game theory). The scheduler is a Nash Equilibrium solver compiled to native code. In my benchmarks (Ryzen 7 5800HS),…

    Hi, I wrote a distributed SAT solver in Elixir to get a feel of the language, perhaps someone out there might find this interesting. I really don't know if this can be a economic approach to SAT solving. https://github.com/roehst/elisat

    Hey HN! Vinesh, Ian, and Kunal here. We’re building Bracket (YC W22), a bidirectional ETL platform — software that syncs data two ways between your data stack and the spreadsheet tools that your business teams rely on (e.g. Google Sheets, Airtable, and Notion databases), with the ability to add transformation logic (like SQL statements or MongoDB aggregation statements) in between. (https://www.usebracket.com/) In other words, if you want to join columns from two Postgres tables, sync the result to an Airtable table, and allow your Airtable users to edit certain fields from…

    I formalized the Single Source of Truth (SSOT) principle in Lean 4 (~2.1k LOC, zero sorry) and proved two core results: Structural SSOT is achievable only when a language provides definition-time hooks and runtime introspection. Macros/codegen (before definition) and reflection (after definition) are insufficient. These requirements are derived, not chosen: because structural facts are fixed at definition, derivation must occur at definition time and be introspectable to verify DOF = 1. Would appreciate review, critique, or independent checking of the Lean scripts.
