Ask HN: Which re-entry/de-orbit was this? 18 by krmblg | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! With the CZ5N re-entry happening I figured you could point me in the right direction to solve this mystery: On the evening of july 14, around 20:15 UTC we saw something pass over our heads fairly slowly (apparently stationary), leaving a greenish, sparkly line over the course of several minutes. It also left a long trail that apparently was still illuminated by the sun, originating at an azimuth of ~210° (SSW). Our observation position was ~48.08° N, 11.28° E (southern Germany, near Munich). About 20 minutes later I tried digging into it a little on James Darpinian's See A Satellite Tonight and found a rocket/booster stage that could have had a matching trajectory (CZ-4B R/B). I'd love to dig deeper into this, so: 1. Are there any websites where I can revisit that time/location? I'm aware of TLEs but would appreciate a "time-travel" view for the location in question 2. Th...

Show HN: Peerdiem — Discover and discuss one painting a day 14 by afkqs | 6 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I made Peerdiem (a portmanteau word between Peer and Per Diem, which means Per Day in latin). The idea is very simple, a new painting or artwork to discover and discuss with your peers every day. Content is currently only fetched from Chicago Art Institute Free API [1] but I'm planning to add more sources in the short future. It was built with a couple of technologies I wanted to try for some time. Frontend is made with Preact and styled with Tailwindcss. Backend consists of an FastAPI app deployed in a Docker container.

Ask HN: Why do you make class members private? 16 by robalni | 34 comments on Hacker News. I know this is something that a lot of people do without thinking about it. So let's think about it. I want to know the main reasons for making variables and functions in a class private. How is it better? What can happen if you don't do it? Here are a few possible reasons that I can think of that someone could have: * You have been taught to do it so you just do it without thinking. * It reduces the number of files you have to search in if you want to find all uses of a member. * The member is hard to understand so you want to discourage people from using it. To clarify, I'm only talking about code in the same project that everyone has access to. I'm not talking about defining an API for other people to use that don't have access to the code, like when you make a library.

Ask HN: PayPal dismissed my claim, saying I didn't provide evidence (yet I did) 62 by fer | 24 comments on Hacker News. Hi. I apologize in advance, but it looks like it's my turn for social media big tech support. I had a situation where OVH abused a PayPal authorization to charge me 1200€ for a "private cloud" credit I never asked. OVH refuses to refund me changing the reason for it every time, but well, that's another topic. I filed a PayPal dispute, I added exchanges with OVH as evidence, where they constantly insist on me having this "credit" still available for me to use, and my insisting on not wanting it for any purpose (the 12€ I added were enough for my test) and not having ordered it. Finally, PayPal ruled in favor of OVH claiming that I "never provided documentation to prove this credit". Not only I did (OVH messages), but nobody asked me for evidence at any point: I could have provided extra information/screenshots where it is sh...

Show HN: Formie – an open source (WIP) form website made with pure HTML/JS/CSS 8 by div72 | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, First time submitter here. After a FOSS related interaction required me to use Google Forms 9 months, I wondered on why no such FOSS tool existed and decided to build it myself. I aimed the site to be for people like me, so no telemetry and minimal JS was the goal. I know this is rather small and incomplete compared to other projects but I've thought you folk might be interested. Not sure if it breaks the pure part, but the site also uses Flask. If you're lucky, you might find the app alive at: https://ift.tt/usKC8Ad .

Show HN: Babble – Communicate privately on state-sponsored social media 20 by yvbbrjdr | 2 comments on Hacker News. Thanks for checking out Babble! You might wonder why this app is even useful and why not just use Signal/PGP. This app's target audience is actually ordinary people in China or similar countries who are under severe government surveillance and censorship, where access to Signal and similar E2EE messaging software is blocked by nationwide firewalls, such as the Great Firewall of China (GFW). Chinese people have been deprived of freedom of speech even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Li Wenliang, who was among the first to notice the spread of the virus and warned his colleagues about it in a private WeChat group, was admonished by the police for "spreading rumors"; his punishment was then aired on the national TV channel. After Wenliang passed away due to getting COVID-19 himself, discussions about it on China's public Internet were highly restricted; mos...
