since this is a bit of a catch-all thread, i'll toss Anton into the ring: a whole bunch of custom ASICs to do Molecular Dynamics simulations from D.E. Shaw Research

not hating on the great amber - but why LEaP on the front page of HN with no context...?
happy to see some light shown on the grim state of comp chem file formats and their shockingly lossy interconversion but I'm not sure that was the OP's intent?
vapemaster commented on Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS? · Posted by u/retskrad
long time windows user that switched to mac due to Apple Silicon dominance on the laptop experience.
This, 1000x this.
It's utterly bizarre that the window management paradigm is "let 'em all stack up and make it easy to spread 'em all out"
At first I thought I didn't get the paradigm. Now I get that I don't get the idea behind the paradigm.
Rectangle (pro version) fixes some of this and adds some really cool features. And because of the Apple app hegemony, it does work nearly OS level good. But why, oh why does this have to be 3rd party?
It's like some any UX pattern baked in since Lisa?
> zrok provides Private or Public, instant, secure tunneling of applications from anywhere.
Its a tunneling tool, to share a port/etc from one computer to another. You can connect to a computer, even if you don't directly have a route to it's IP.
> Secured effortlessly by using a zero trust overlay network provided by OpenZiti
It uses OpenZiti to accomplish the links, as opposed to tailscale, zero tier, cloudflare tunnels, Yggdrasil, etc.
> zrok allows sharing other types of resources; rather than just proxying http endpoints, zrok allows users to easily and rapidly share files and web content. zrok is also ready to be extended to easily support many kinds of decentralized resource sharing; zrok provides a framework that makes this kind of peer-to-peer resource sharing simple and secure
It looks like its also extensible, so you can use it to form the communication layer to share other things, files being one example.
this was an awesome, non-snarky, explanatory comment. thanks for this.
