deluvas··on A virtual Fidget Spinner
They did exist, they just weren't very popular.

I remember back in January, there was this video [1] that kept showing in everybody's recommended videos, similar to the "1000 DEGREE EXPERIMENTAL KNIVES" video from MrGear [2]. It became popular very quickly and so the trend started.

deluvas··on Tallest Lego building with 4 pieces?
Yeah, that's what I thought too.
deluvas··on InfluxDB vs. Cassandra for timeseries data
How much memory are we talking about? How often did you execute queries on the data?

I'm asking because my first impression of Influxdb involved lots of memory gobbling.

deluvas··on GitHub Code Search – Programmers' Goldmine
There's also the limitation that some characters [1] are ignored, which makes it improbable you'll find what you're looking for.

Apparently this is related to how the search index works, but cumbersome nevertheless.

deluvas··on Facebook Awards 1000$ for 2 minor bugs
Do you mind sharing the resources you've read about security vulnerabilities?
deluvas··on Show HN: Shape-powered movie search
I've found a movie that caught my attention, but I couldn't find any link to the imdb page - I wanted to read more about it, so I decided to select the title c/p and Google it - but what do you know, you can't select text.

Please fix this.

deluvas··on Show HN: Sleep Calculator – wake up feeling refreshed
Uhm, it looks dangerously similar to this one...

deluvas··on Show HN: Paid, an API for invoicing
I'm curious, on the technical side, what stack/technologies have you used? Also, did you scaffold the typical crud endpoints or manually wrote them, for each resource?

I'm trying to gain experience in building APIs and yours seems like a good model for doing so :)

deluvas··on Ask HN: What framework/libs are you using for building RESTish APIs in Node.js?
That's one of the frameworks I haven't tried yet. Will try it, thx.
deluvas··on Predominantly
I don't understand why people that say it's not useful or not interesting get downvoted, but the ones that say the opposite, don't. What's the logic in this?
deluvas··on A replacement for JavaScript's “alert”
As a non-native English speaker, it feels weird seeing phrases like this. In my opinion, a more appropriate word would be 'elegant'.
deluvas··on What was your best passive income in 2014?
Holy cow! I'm taking a guess; is it some sort of aggregator website?
deluvas··on What was your best passive income in 2014?
Nice business there! I'm curious, if I may ask, where do you get most of your traffic from?
deluvas··on OpenGL Is Broken
Too bad you're getting downvoted, because it's true.
deluvas··on Show HN: Font Awesome to PNG
Aero just turned off when I opened up the icon list. Windows 7, Chrome 34.0.1847.131. Anybody else got that?
deluvas··on Syntax highlighters are wrong
Yes, exactly! I am tired with these clickbait titles on HN. Come up a better title, damn it, this isn't DailyMail.
deluvas··on Building 2048 in AngularJS
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought at first, too. But I guess it's just an example on a simple game to show how you'd do more complex applications with Angular.
deluvas··on Game Programming Patterns – Bytecode
Can confirm. This is by far the most ideal option available.
deluvas··on Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, C, C++, Lua, tcl, JavaScript and Java comparison
I'm not buying these tests, either. Since when are scripting languages faster at string manipulation (and generally) than compiled languages?

Will somebody explain to me what's going on? Maybe I'm missing something.

deluvas··on Discovering Two Screens Aren’t Better Than One
What a crap article. Just because this guy can't focus on his work, doesn't mean multiple monitors are bad.

When I work, I don't like getting distracted. And I certainly don't fill my other screens with Twitter and whatever the author is implying, unless it's work related. End of discussion.

deluvas··on Down go all the major browsers at Pwn2Own
Mind if I ask, what's up with these languages, showing up everywhere on (Rust/Go)? Are they that useful? Can you summarize for me what are they good at?
deluvas··on Down go all the major browsers at Pwn2Own
Can you explain why that's not a good idea? I have no clue, really, but I'm guessing something about libraries.
deluvas··on NATO websites hit by DDoS cyber attacks, Ukraine group claims responsibility
Can't blame them. I'd hack a toaster, too.
deluvas··on Iconic – An Icon System Designed for the Modern Web
>$49 Personal

>Unlimited use for personal, non-commercial projects. Go nuts!

Right, as if I'm going to pay $49 just to use your fancy icons which I can substitute with something similar for FREE, like fontawesome.

Seriously, who thought this crap out?

deluvas··on Flappy Bird had zero Facebook features
It did however have a share button after you've died, did it not? Never pressed it, but I'm curious if that helped.
deluvas··on Valve Anti Cheat Engine reads all the domains you have visited and sends it back
I don't see any proof whatsoever in that discussion that the data is being sent back to their servers. Sure, it uses the entries somehow, but it's not known. Looks like typical redditorian pitchfork witchhunt to me.

There even was a guy in there saying you can avoid this by stopping your dnscache service. Good luck with that.

deluvas··on Anybody else hating web fonts lately?
>It is very frustrating when loading up a website and seeing a mostly blank page because the fonts are still downloading.

Yes, annoying, can confirm. So I load the page, and all I see are text decorations like underlines, but no text. I have to wait like 1.5-3 seconds, depending on the connection. I mean, seriously, come on!

deluvas··on Flappy Bird MMO
I know, right? Atleast he wrote a notice:

>Sorry guys, I can't handle the pressure. Just kidding. Server will be back in a few hours (about 8 hours or so).

deluvas··on Poll: What is your level of education?
>I was very motivated when I got into the university. I was hoping we'd learn compilers, functional programming, low-level stuff, I was eager to learn everything. (..) but we didn't get to start actual programming until maybe third year (..) Most students didn't care either because they were there “to get the diploma”.

Are you living in Romania, by chance? Because the situation looks EXACTLY the same here.

I got into college hoping I would get some guidance learning something I find very interesting, but instead I get a big fucking joke.

Of course I tried to learn by self-teaching, but it was hard and I didn't even cover what a decent university would cover. And, like you said, the rest of the people are there just to get the diploma.

When I talked with a friend in Austria about how things are done here, he was shocked. You can't even call it an education. More like a big waste of time.

Right now I'm stuck in third and last year, with a dozen failed exams on subjects that god knows who placed them in the curriculum. I wanted to drop out in the first year, after seeing the horrors for myself, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Sucks so hard seeing all those years passing by and barely even learning anything from what I was eager to learn.
