SchizoDuckie··on FANN.js – Fast Artificial Neural Network Compiled with Emscripten
That's just an algorithm, a far stretch from a neural net playing 2048.

It has been done though: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=neural+net+2048

Still, it would be awesome to see a JS neural net playing a JS game

SchizoDuckie··on FANN.js – Fast Artificial Neural Network Compiled with Emscripten
Allright, now somebody please hook this into a game of 2048 and let the machines show us how it' s done.
SchizoDuckie··on Show HN: A Hand-Drawn QR Code Alternative
So what happens when somebody just defaces one and draws a couple of extra lines?
SchizoDuckie··on GitHub is Down
and this, kids, is why you check in your dependencies with your project. You can refer to them in your vendor folder for fun, no problem. BUT KEEP A LOCAL COPY IN YOUR REPO

This is for Composer, as wel as for NPM. You now introduced a third-party dependency into your development workflow. What will you do when github goes down for a week?

SchizoDuckie··on Adobe tackles Hacking Team zero-day vulnerability
While I agree with this, Adobe does have the knowledge and skills to hook a fuzzer into their Flash source on sandboxes and vm's, and basically let a fuzzer rip. When you build one of the most installed pieces of software in the world, you should take that responsibility.
SchizoDuckie··on Adobe tackles Hacking Team zero-day vulnerability
Sorry, tech-term-mixup in my brain. I meant AFL-Fuzzed ofcourse. (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/)
SchizoDuckie··on Adobe tackles Hacking Team zero-day vulnerability
Flash should have been AFL-Fuzzed (Or something similar) a long time ago and this should have been found proactively. Flash hasn't been on my computer for ages and I urge you to do the same thing.
SchizoDuckie··on Apache Cordova: after 10 months, I won't using it anymore
FUD.

Ever heard of WebSQL for storing your data? After 10 months, you should have been able to work around nearly anything you mention in your article.

SchizoDuckie··on Show HN: IfLoop, a new programming style, designed for mobile phones and tablets
If you want to launch anything in 2015 it's HTML5 or bust. If you know ActionScript, you know Javascript.

Instead of Adobe Air, use something like nw.io / node-webkit, or Github's awesome Atom Shell.

SchizoDuckie··on Show HN: VoiceClonr attempts to reconstruct human voices
They all just sound robotic to me.

Why even attempt to get things like imitating specific people's voices to work when your speech isn't even fluid and pronounced clearly to begin with?

SchizoDuckie··on Hacking Super Mario World to Warp to the Credits [video]
These are the chess grandmasters of our time.

If you can fit all of that in your head and understand what you're doing here while you're doing it, you're a god to me

SchizoDuckie··on Apple Says “We Hear You Taylor Swift”, Will Pay Musicians During Free Trial
Musicians can complain when they want a bigger cut and it's fixed the next day.

App developers and content producers get emailed 'we are taking more out of your cut' or 'if you don't want us to show ads near your content, reply to this email with "opt out"'

SchizoDuckie··on Show HN: WhatsApp for Desktop
So this is indeed a very simple wrapper around the web.whatsapp.com. Just an <iframe>. I wondered how they reverse engineered the security and worked around whatsapp's SSO permissions. They didn't, you can just as well open web.whatsapp.com and realize that this still doesn't make it work with an iPhone.

Now all they did is make themselves a target for legal action, because they're using the whatsapp trademark on the domain name and spent a load of time doing basically nothing.

SchizoDuckie··on Facebook Bluetooth Beacons
Yes facebook, please track me more. Bluetooth -> Off.
SchizoDuckie··on Making sexy molecules in PowerPoint
Sounds to me like they would rather want to use something specialized like this.

http://web.chemdoodle.com/demos/3d-editor

Please people. Don't do stuff like this in word or powerpoint.

SchizoDuckie··on I love you, dad (2012)
Wow. Speechless.
SchizoDuckie··on Sourcepoint: Former Googler Will Sell Tech to Punch Through Ad Blockers
And I will be blocking you in my hosts file in 0.02 seconds. And then never do business with the company that uses your tech ever again.

Bring it.

SchizoDuckie··on Grid Style Sheets – Replace CSS with a Constraint-Solver
From their demo: structure.gss

     @h |-(#message)~-~(#follow)~-~(#following)-(#followers)-|
     in(#profile-card)
     gap($sgap)
        !strong {
          &[top] == &:next[top];
        }
      }
If you inject stuff like this into a project, make sure you're doing it solo. 'cause if you're on my team, i'll slap you.

WTF is this voodoo? Less and Sass aren't complex enough? CSS isn't hard enough to work with as it is?

SchizoDuckie··on Show HN: PicFeed
No screenshot, no nothing, just 'give me your twitter access'

How not to attract new users and alienate people.

SchizoDuckie··on Popcorn Time in Your Browser
> Coinado is a remote torrenting service. We do the torrenting for you, worry about seeding, keep your privacy and deliver the file over an encrypted connection. Requesting a file is simple. You just append the info hash of the torrent to the Coinado domain and when you start the download, the torrenting happens transparently on our servers and a minute later the file starts streaming to you.

That sounds like a solid idea all around. I though this was the javascript torrent client implementation, instead, it relies on yet another service that can be taken down.

SchizoDuckie··on Call me maybe: Aerospike
Oh wow, so this is not ACID, not "Eventual Consistency", but "Eventual Inconsistency"
SchizoDuckie··on Simplify: move code into database functions
Historyically, I've been against putting logic inside (MySQL) database since it's a bitch to version and maintain (especially cross-database-user)

Maybe Postgres is a lot better, but for MySQL I'm staying the hell away from it

SchizoDuckie··on A Quantum Network Flow Puzzle
I'm not even going to pretend I understood any of that
SchizoDuckie··on Ask HN: Are there any startups making desktop apps?
Somebody with too much money should buy this company and then bury it somewhere very deep.
SchizoDuckie··on EFF to Congress: Stop the Cybersurveillance Bills
While I do respect the EFF and what they're doing, I'm flat out against joining the whole SuperPAC thing where we're joining a piss-off contest into who can give easily corruptible politicians that have no clue what they're voting on the most money.
SchizoDuckie··on Show HN: Made my own date picker for AngularJS
It's a shame that in 2015 we still need to implement datepickers from scratch. Kudo's on your effort :)
SchizoDuckie··on Elevator.js
Brilliant
SchizoDuckie··on Where can I find examples of complete AngularJS apps?
Thanks! Fixed by adjusting my release notes.
SchizoDuckie··on Where can I find examples of complete AngularJS apps?
Also, for instance in my case, The new code organisation styles didn't come out until after the whole project was set up and grew fast. Migrating them can be a PITA.
SchizoDuckie··on Where can I find examples of complete AngularJS apps?
You can find my quite heavy live app DuckieTV (think popcorntime/sickbeard for TV-Shows, but with your own torrent-client) here:

Live demo: http://duckietv.github.io/DuckieTV/ (v1.0 w.i.p.)

Homepage: http://duckie.tv/ (v0.94 latest release)

Source: http://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/

It's not just a plain old 'todo' style simple app, but has grown quite big over the last year and is still a continuous work in progress. Since i'm working with a team of people that are not angular pro's yet (nor am I, but I'm getting there) I'm trying to document nearly every js file and it's functions, so it might be an interesting read :)
