I've also contributed to chromium devtools. I did it because I liked the idea of contributing to something that big, also having my code reach that many people is a nice feeling.

I agree that their tracker and review tools are a bit outdated but their code search is top notch. It was really easy to find my way around that codebase.

You won't lose any flexibility. See link above regarding plugins.

You could edit it.

Yes you can hook any kind of plugin up. Can be a simple object that has an 'apply' method exposed that gets passed the compiler.

I've been thinking about building something like this for over a year now (I know I know, ideas are worthless).

I wanted it to be a social network where brands can hook into and sell their stuff directly from within like you describe. People share their outfits and followers can tap on times like in this demo and directly buy the item if a vendor hooked into it.

I don't understand the general moan about the touch bar. These are exactly the cases I think will make the touch bar great.

Is it the most innovative concept ever? No, but it looks like it's been executed very well. I think developers will like this macbook.

how's the touch bar offensive?

Cool extension but doesn't seem to work sometimes? I added HN and sometimes it's blocked sometimes it's not. What gives?

Can you give some examples of what those features are?

Very neat. Thank you for such a nice overview.

This is not quite what you're asking, but some guys are working on making SC/BW more accessible, modern (matchmaking, better chat support): https://www.shieldbattery.net/splash

Such a shame, I love Vine. Integrating it into the twitter feed just means videos will not be seen as they have to compete with all the other stuff that's taking space on your feed.

This is really cool, appreciate the demo, source and the writeup.

The debug view is beautiful. Great work.

Cool but please clamp the values to be within 0 and currentDuration.

I'm getting an error that the duration that youtube sends me back is higher than your read out duration:

{ errors: { message: 'end(8s) > currentDuration(7.383s)' } }

This is really cool! Is it possible to select a specific time range of a video via the API?

E.g. I only want the first 3 seconds of a video to be turned into a gif.

You deal with them one at a time. It's not like there's magic involved.

Our SPA isn't even using jQuery. Loadtimes are fast, app is very fluid.

Many people seem to not understand that when you query the dom for a node, you can store that node and reuse it throughout your app.

Do you have a resource for the last point you mentioned?

I've contributed to Chromium recently and was amazed by how quickly and painlessly everything was.

I expected to run into a lot of problems with building, missing dependencies etc. but it just worked. This despite the fact that the fully checked out source is 37Gb!

I can highly encourage beginners to take a stab at contributing to Chromium, you can learn a lot.

Tell HN: my first dollar on the App Store due to a good review from Techcrunch, lessons learnt. (spreadsheets.google.com)

Stroke order matters. As does amount of strokes per gesture.

Once you get that, it's fairly accurate.

This.. I need to stock up on 5s.

The problem with gaze tracking is that achieving the kind of accuracy you are thinking about isn't possible right now.

The trackers he listed have an accuracy of about 0.3-0.5 degree which at a distance of 50cm to the screen still maps to a fairly large area of about 50x50 pixel (depending on screen resolution and PPI). That's far too big to guess where you want your cursor to be placed.

Moreover, the fact that you'll see the cursor moving creates a loop in which you will follow the delayed cursor around with your gaze.

I know, right? You'd think they would jump on that story. Especially since so many of his books were made into films.

I think it is. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9539248

Really cool indeed, but at first I didn't draw wheels. Also the drawing area could be larger.

One of the bars near my University back in the days only had cheeseburgers on their menu.

So I ordered a cheeseburger without cheese. Laughter ensued and I was forever stamped an idiot.

That's why I moved to Japan.

This looks amazing. Great work.

Să trăieşti frate.

Very moving writing. Thank you Mihai!

+1 to this. OSC is great. Really adore the place and their activities.

Heard of flexbox, it's nice but here's one thing I haven't been able to do with it:

Center a bunch boxes in a row and have overflowing boxes show up on the next row to the left or right. Doesn't work, it will center the next row as well.

I haven't found a non JS solution to this yet.

Not only overdraw but also having to be careful with how you craft the scene. SM pretty much allows for arbitrary scenes.

Also small nitpick: you don't filter the shadow map, but the resulting shadow response.
