dyscreteon Show HN: Free AI-based music demixing in the browser

This is cool, would love to see an npm package for this!

VirtualDJ[0] software lets you do this with their Stems feature in real time and works really well, and it's free I believe.

dyscreteon Attempt to Reverse a $55 Million Ether Heist

SolarNet what makes you think it's based on js

dyscreteon Enter your address and find out everyone who represents you in U.S. government

My guess is it uses geolocation APIs to match city to politicians in your district. Maybe even looks up politicians phone numbers by area codes that belong to those cities. This is just a theory of course.

dyscreteon Inferno: A fast, React-like JavaScript library for building UIs

I like how javascripters use `const` everywhere they can except actual constants!

dyscreteon WebKit is moving away from prefixes

Would this be a bad thing in the scenario one browser didn't implement the property properly? The webkit implementation could work fine but look awful on IE for example, which then you would simply not include it in IE.

dyscreteon Develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris

Even better!

     ifThen(1 === 0, 5)

No need to calculate 2 + 3!

dyscreteon Two Weird Tricks with Redux

Can you tell me a use case using the "action" that's sent to "request.run", or is it passed just because it can be.

dyscreteon Two Weird Tricks with Redux

You probably do not want to store a promise in state, it's not really serializable

dyscreteon Graphing when your Facebook friends are awake

Awesome and hilarious article. Id just like to note `for (;;);` is not to prevent users from using bad JSON parsers like `eval` but prevent older browsers with little to no cross domain policy from loading it with a script tag and doing evil XSS by overriding Array or Object constructors or prototypes to pull that data

dyscreteon Temporary fork enables Node.js to optionally use the Chakra JavaScript engine

Wow, what's up Microsoft?

dyscreteon I won't be using Angular for my next project

I don't think anyone will see this but here goes.

Try Meteor[1].

Over the past few years using things like Angular, mithril[2], React[3], Vue[4] Meteor, and Ember[5] for large production sites, I've found Meteor painstakingly easy to quickly build real-time "isomorphic" web applications. If you haven't tried it and you're thinking about creating an app with a FRP[6] app I recommend giving it a whirl.

Edit: Fix spacing

dyscreteon Ask HN: What's your stand about react.js patent clause?

It's only a matter of time before React is replaced by a new, "better" frontend framework with superior licensing. I love React, but for now, I think Meteor suffices.

dyscreteon Comment sections are poison: handle with care or remove them (2014)

Of course take everything with a grain of salt.

The Hacker News community's comments are actually more intellectual than the writer's click-bait propaganda, and leaves room for debate on the author's one-sided views.

Edit: grammar

dyscreteon When Children with Autism Grow Up

I just read your post, and though it may be hard sometimes just remember we are all unique and you shouldn't use autism to define you as a person. A lot of intelligent people experience these symptoms and psychs are always looking for your weaknesses to put labels on and prescribe pills for (I've been diagnosed differently 3 times, once with Aspergers). You are a smart individual, you don't need Aspergers to tell you that. Good read nonetheless, thank you for sharing.

EDIT: changed some wording

dyscreteon Show HN: Paste in CSV, get a sharable file

To be honest, there is not much need for a CSV host as most would just use Google Docs. It's a cool tool for hackers though.

EDIT: typos

dyscreteon Show HN: Paste in CSV, get a sharable file

I was about to mention the bad security of uploading personal documents to some guy's Heroku instance.

Instead found this a very unprofessional and destructive way to handle a bug report, and possibly illegal[1].

The site's creator Hank Stoever has his public contact information available[2].

dyscreteon Show HN: Headphone Enhancer for Techno and 5.1 Movies

I guess it is not detecting my USB turtle beach headset. It says 'off' in the icon.

dyscreteon Show HN: Headphone Enhancer for Techno and 5.1 Movies

I can't figure out how to get this to work, if I set my output device to Hajo I get nothing

dyscreteon But – A way to pass along a callback with just a single argument

Why not allow an optional 2nd argument that defaults to 1 on your `but` library to do this?

dyscreteon But – A way to pass along a callback with just a single argument

Well it's not just about `this` but the arguments to pass to console rather. In this case:

    n.forEach(console.log.bind(console));

forEach is passing console all of its callback arguments, resulting in logging of keys, values, and array.

EDIT: Forgot array

dyscreteon Xbox and PlayStation hit by 'hack'

Agreed. They've posted a picture on their twitter of a note saying "Lizard Squad made me do this" beside an insanely cut wrist. Are these activists or terrorists?

dyscreteon Xbox and PlayStation hit by 'hack'

Here's a better article.

http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/games/xbox-playstation-ne...

Lizard Squad is posting about their DDOS attack on twitter via @LizardMafia. They are forcing Sony and Microsoft to read their statements for them to stop the attack.

EDIT: It seems @KimDotCom is working with @SavagexCOD (Lizard Squad Member) to get the network back online in exchange for lifetime mega.co premium membership vouchers.

Kim Dot Com: Hi @LizardMafia, I want to play #Destiny on XBOX Live. I'll give your entire crew Mega lifetime premium vouchers if you let us play. Cool?

Lizard Squad: Attacks have stopped momentarily, awaiting @KimDotCom's response.

dyscreteon Too Many Kids Quit Science Because They Don't Think They're Smart

Wow this is insulting.

dyscreteon TreeFrog: high-speed full-stack C++ framework for web applications

Very informative link, I don't really use PHP anymore but I was surprised to see Laravel is faster than Symfony though it uses many Symfony components.

dyscreteon TreeFrog: high-speed full-stack C++ framework for web applications

I don't really see the benefit of using Qt in this case, and the framework states that because it's in C++ it's faster which is just plain wrong.
