I doubt that they started off with a 40 mins delay. It probably crept slowly as the repo got bigger and no one noticed it because of the gentle gradient. And they didn't have the time/resources to look into it.

It's surprising how little code [1] is needed to do this. On the other hand I feel this is quite dependent on the specific camera models and might not work on the RAW data downloaded from my phone. Happy to be corrected.

This is incredible, I love the simple and straight forward solution to this.

Their SSL certificate was issued by Amazon. So it seems legit.

I am personally not sure about the impact of this. I am hoping it will bring some positive change, Indians do have a habit of hoarding huge amounts of cash. It's not something specific to "black money hoarders".

Anyway I pity the bank employees for the coming few weeks!

Still incredible! We as people tend to underestimate just how "magical" our mobile phones are.

There is this ancient Indian story about Krishna washing the feet of his devotee and then drinking the water. So this thing is not alien to the Indian culture. But I'll not be surprised if this still happens in some rural parts of India.

It's very strange to me, any one of the cons from 3-6 will make me avoid a framework. Do you think the pros of the framework outweigh these serious cons?

IMO a much better approach is JSCodeShift, which works based on the AST: https://github.com/facebook/jscodeshift

On a similar note I was trying to make more cartoony animations with CSS: http://jsbin.com/ravic/42

We have a presentation about that here: https://techblog.badoo.com/blog/2014/09/13/building-a-mainta...

At Badoo we use them to have a unified API for all of our platforms (Web, Mobile Web, Android, iOS, Windows Phone etc). This would not have been possible without something like ProtoBuf.

No we are not. The day we start voting videos of soflo antonio we will become.

This is an insanely creative video, i have not something like this in many years so i thought the creative minds at hn would like it. Maybe it will inspire someone to create something different, who knows?

I think it's an unfortunate situation resulting from the need to be realistic about releases. If something can be released now for > 90% of the users then companies will prioritise doing that and then releasing the remaining 10% later.

The problem is when that remaining 10% takes way longer than expected.

Just wondering, have you tried a VR headset of this generation? I feel a lot of people discount VR simply because they don't realise the possibilities.

This is a really interesting project! One of my issues with React has been the script size, and this one even seems quicker to boot.

Obviously it doesn't have certain things like React does but it's a perfect library for mobile usage!

That's a silly argument to make. It's just not easy to setup a donation system as easily, if sites I visit had an option for easy microtransactions many people would do it in a heartbeat.

I don't have the same situation as you but generally when I am faced with a situation like this I often end up doing two high focus things one after another.

So when your query is running for 5 mins you can switch to something of a similar nature (another query perhaps?).

This article generalises way too many things for me to be interesting.

"Unlike the people in some cultures, Indians learn to challenge authority" - This can't be further from the truth. At the risk of generalising myself I'd still like to say that Indian culture in general doesn't want anyone to challenge authority (parents/teachers/bosses) this is something we are taught as children.

I think the biggest problem with graphene has been manufacturing it at big enough sizes for practical applications. Coating the LED seems to be pretty ideal because it doesn't need a lot of surface area and can potentially be mass manufactured.

@nmjenkins - so glad to see it's finally out for everyone to use! :)

I don't like how browserify will only ever work by serving combined files. Granted it has source maps but it's still terrible that you just can't debug your app with individual files with it. Neither do I assume setting breakpoints works very well in it?

If you are interested in space sim's you should check out Space Engine [1]. It's build on real data combined with procedural generation.

Here is a quote from their website:

"SpaceEngine - a free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles."

The folks at Oculus have done some good research on this, they found out that generally people find it hard to spot any difference in frame rate after 90fps.

Well it's back again here in the UK.

Like anything taken to the extreme open offices are bad for you. I personally have worked in an open office and a semi-open office (where your team is in a part enclosure/room with a door). And I much prefer to have a semi-open office rather than a private office.

A private office for me would totally kill any social interaction I have with anyone. A semi-open office keeps it private on the team level.

The site assumes bargaining is anything but a social act. If you are going to bargain with a computer you will always enter 0 as the price you are willing to pay and see where the algorithm takes you.

In real life you wouldn't insult the seller by asking for 0$ but have to employ more social tactics to get a good price.

BusinessInsider does a shitty thing when I copy text from that site. Sorry about the messed up title.

Why do I have to wait for the girl to finish blowing her bubbles before I can sign up ?

It doesn't tell me anything about the product.
