Show HN: Motion – play with video effects in the browser (WebGPU)

Hacker News - Wed, 05/07/2025 - 6:08pm

This began as a very simple experiment to learn webgpu, but now has a node based UI inspired by touch designer to combine video effects in a simple way.

I'm mainly searching for new ideas for effects, or general ideas for what to build on it next, so please share! (I have my own ideas, but this is far enough that I'm proud to show it around and get feedback)

If your device doesn't support webgpu - sorry mobile - it won't work for now.

If anyone is curious, the frontend is SvelteFlow. And if anyone is even more curious and knows some WebGPU, I really can't recommend the WebGPU inspector Chrome extension enough, it lets you inspect individual frames and see the pipeline that made them (and more).

Thank you!

Ask HN: How is Julia for data analysis coming along?

Hacker News - Wed, 05/07/2025 - 5:48pm

For a hot minute, Julia revived a lot of attention. Haven't heard anything in a while. I have my computing needs covered by R and Julia, and last time I tried Julia (two years ago? Three?) it didn't take me long to find something that would be non-trivial to do/wasn't implemented. Now I'm having some need for faster for larger datasets, and I like the idea of a typed language. What's the status?

Ask HN: Why is the sender chat box always on the right?

When did this UX convention develop and why? I think this is also true across languages like Arabic and Hebrew whose script runs right-to-left.

What got lost in translation from Lean Manufacturing into Agile?

Hacker News - Wed, 05/07/2025 - 5:30pm

The Toyota System (Lean Manufacturing) is largely considered a fundamental revolution in manufacturing. Systems like 5S, continuous improvement, just in time production, Kanban (which is way more sophisticated in Lean then in software project management) etc have been demonstrated over and over again to be highly effective at improving factory production, employee satisfaction, and product quality.

As I understand it, Agile was an attempt to translate Lean Manufacturing from physical production to software development. I've seen some pretty incredible presentations on the benefits of Agile, particularly out of Spotify.

Yet I've never personally worked somewhere that I felt adopted Agile in a way that delivered on the promises and I've heard similar sentiments from many other people.

I have personally experienced the benefits of Lean methods even outside of a factory setting when organizing my home and workshop.

Is there something fundamentally different about physical production processes versus software development?
