New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I rewrote the 1990's LambdaMOO server from scratch

<a href="https://github.com/rdaum/moor">Show HN: I rewrote the 1990's LambdaMOO server from scratch</a> 
23 by cmrdporcupine | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37624400">6 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
I got my start on the Internet in the very early 90s playing with, authoring in, and programming on LambdaMOO ( https://ift.tt/UHo2wLz ) and similar systems. Shared virtual social spaces, with a persistent object oriented authoring / scripting language. They can be classified as MUDs (depending on who you talk to) but the focus is social, creative / authoring, and shared programming not RPG gaming. I've always wanted to see this kind of thing modernized and further developed. Over the last 25 years or so I've worked on similar but novel & improved things, but never finished. So I decided to just re-implement LambdaMOO and use that as a base, instead and keep compatibility as a goal, but build it out on a more modern foundation that takes advantage of multiple core machines, newer network protocols, newer connectivity methods, uses MVCC transactions for the shared database etc. LambdaMOO is a somewhat extensive system in that it is composed of compiler, a virtual machine, an object database, user permissions system, network runtime. In some ways it's kind of like a shared, text-based Smalltalk image/runtime... So quite a bit to implement and get right before it all works together. The big challenge throughout has been slavishly maintaining backwards compatibility so existing "cores" (databases) work. It's not done, but it's darn close. Would like for people who are into this kind of thing to check it out, and maybe even help. Many of the technical aspects here are still provisional, but this is the start. Constructive assistance welcome. (Yes, it's a rewrite in Rust, but that's not really the point, even though that's a cliche that's fun.)

hi hn, hydra ceo here hydra is an open-source extension that adds columnar tables to Postgres for efficient analytical reporting. With Hydra, you can analyze billions of rows instantly without changing code. demo video (5 min): https://youtu.be/1yzxgb0Oyrw github repo: https://ift.tt/VhA58Xm For 1.0 GA release, aggregate queries are over *60% faster* than Hydra beta due to aggregate vectorization. Spatial indexes (gin, gist, spgist, and rum indexes) and pg_hint_plan are now enabled for performance optimization. postgres is great, but aggregates can take minutes to hours to return results on large data sets. long-running analytical queries hog database resources and degrade performance. use hydra to run much faster analytics on postgres without changing code. for testing, try the hydra free tier to create a column postgres instance on the cloud. https://ift.tt/JOwpKNz

7 by amts | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37537417">17 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
I may get to work for a small translation agency to build a website for them plus a bit of marketing stuff, and maybe a remote desktop and a platform for invoicing for their personnel. I am self-teaching myself web-design and the related stuff (Python mainly for everything, but HTML/CSS, C++, SQL and databases also) and a few years ago I also administered a Wordpress site for a while, so am a bit familiar with themes/addons etc. But for a few recent months it seems I've seen some news on HN as about once per month that someone's Wordpress site was hacked. Which web framework may be better for a small agency (or in a general business case): Wordpress or Django/Flask? Can you describe a typical workflow and which other tools/frameworks/keywords/etc (like REST) I need to use for this? As I am a bit nervous that I am self-taught in this field, though have tons of materials on that, but this job may provide some resources for my main projects.

6 by secularchapel | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37361736">0 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
Hello everyone! I've been working on this project for a few months as part of my thesis in Machine Learning. It's meant to be a library that provides an easy-to-use but flexible API to design and train Diffusion Models. I decided to make it because I wanted to quickly prototype a Diffusion Model but there were no good tools to do it with. I think it really can help people prototype their own Diffusion Models a lot faster and only in a few lines of code. The base idea is to have a Model class that takes different modules corresponding to the different aspects of the Diffusion Model process (noise schedule, noise type, denoising network, loss function, guidance, etc.) and allow the user to mix and match different modules to achieve different results. The library ships with a bunch of prebuilt modules and the plan is to add many more. I also made it super easy to implement your own modules, you just need to extend from one of the base classes available. Contrary to HuggingFace Diffusers, this library is focused on designing and training your own Diffusion Models rather than finetuning pretrained ones (although this is possible). I would really appreciate your feedback.
