Unfortunately this suffers from compounded niche-ness. Even with huge interest and constant public f-ups from social media companies, the Fediverse has failed to gain any real traction (likely due to the unintuitiveness of cross-server iden

Lots of people use BetterDiscord (which is EULA compliant afaik) without a problem. Discord is more hackable than anything thanks to the web UI.

I object to the car point. Any Prius with a lithium ion battery (a significant improvement over the old NiMH models) and less than 50,000 miles costs more than $20k. It’s objectively the most practical car in terms of balancing mileage, lon

This argument is incredibly tired and inaccurate. The majority of Bitcoin mining happens on renewable power and actually HELPS the renewables industry by making renewables more profitable by buying off-peak and surplus energy. Additionally

This made me nostalgic, I remember when vanity URL shorteners were the coolest thing you could have. A new one popped up every few days and every company land grabbed for something custom they could use for social media. Then Twitter update

I waited outside GameStop on launch day to snag a Switch with my friend. We had heard about the bittering agent applied to the cartridges by day two and immediately tasted them ourselves. Hard to believe the Switch is five years old…

Firefox stopped working in the middle of writing an email. Couldn’t even restart the browser without it crashing. Rebooting didn’t fix it. Reinstalling it only temporarily fixed it. I got frustrated and installed the ESR version and it STIL

*65 companies that have publicly announced their inclusion in YC so far. Companies get to keep their acceptance a secret until they’re ready to publicize it. There are many more companies that haven’t announced yet.

I don’t know if this is correct. I’m getting Atkinson Hyperlegible from Google Fonts and it seems to allow commercial use: https://github.com/googlefonts/atkinson-hyperlegible/blob/ma...

Thanks for your comment! That demo is primarily meant to demonstrate the efficiency of the message broker and packet code as if there were 1000 players on different MC servers all forwarding their positions through WorldQL. I’ll make it m

Thanks for your comment. Spatially allocated servers was my original implementation! There’s a link to a video demo in the blog post. You are definitely correct that spatial sharding is easier and more robust. This new approach was primaril

by Jaxkr 5y ago
No. All spatial queries use WorldQL’s in-memory k-d tree implementation and are not used for permanent world alterations. For the Minecraft world catch-up example, it’s as simple as querying Postgres for block records in a certain chunk aft

No. They fail very ungracefully. But it’s something I’m planning to implement in the future.

It’ll be self-hostable too. I need to be clear about that on the homepage. Thanks for your question.

Thank you! It’s very early, but I hope it’ll be useful.

Your single-core performance is the most important thing for a Minecraft server, especially for Forge mods. For vanilla, I’d try Paper (a high performance spigot fork) and see if you still have problems. If you’re lagging with 6 people whil

Thank you for your kind words! WorldQL uses Postgres under-the-hood to store permanent information. I was inspired by companies like TimescaleDB which build new functionality on top of Postgres’s rock-solid base. Any high-availability solut

I’ve gotten this question a lot. At the moment it’s not a priority because it’s frankly too challenging right now. However, once the documentation is complete, someone could hypothetically implement it using https://github.com&#x

Thanks for your question! Redstone is still WIP but will follow: 1. An optimistic execution strategy (the servers can run their own redstone) 2. A locking system allowing only one server to have redstone current in a given chunk at once. 3.

It utilizes a rollback-based system to mitigate races between Minecraft servers. I’m writing up some formal documentation on it now, I really wanted to have that done before this project was exposed to the scrutinizing Hacker News community

It was surprisingly snappy, particularly compared to the Nintendo DSi web browser which I also spent a lot of time with. The internet truly was lighter and had less JavaScript back then. I remember Tumblr working very well on the experiment

I grew up using their experimental web browser for some of my first internet experiences. I got my first Kindle in 2010 when I was 11, signed up for Twitter on it when it still had the cloud background. It used to work great for almost the
