kodishaon Paw – Advanced API tool for Mac

Best feature of paw (idk if it was intentional)

- fetch huge json

- collapse first level fields

- leave node/subnode of interest open

- change backend

- refresh paw, and see changes way faster, coz it will show only open subtree

really useful for large json responses! (Postman dies on those)

kodishaon Ask HN: Its summer 2016, you need to build HUGE JavaScript app, what do you do?

Well, I guess 100k+

but more than sheer lines of code, I'm talking complexity i described above.

and some examples with fights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHo4l-qmGHI

This was by far the most hard to master, and most rewarding skill, once you can do laps around the maps you lost track of time, and find your self doing this for hours.

kodishaon The myths of bioinformatics software

It was a comparison. Once MooTools was the library to use, now its dead.

kodishaon The myths of bioinformatics software

I also think it has to happen on the web (open or closed), instead of the desktop software.

Also, d3 wont be able to pull it off. If we do a comparison, i think that d3 is MooTools, wee need to get to ES6/angular/react kind of libraries.

kodishaon GitTorrent: A Decentralized GitHub

decentralized web interface? Isn it better to develop native, cross platform app for that?

We have both electron and NW.js now, that should be easy.

kodishaon Social Network for Gamers

Games = Clans. Yes, there is a ton of players that casually play your latest AAA games, but they would never use this, or any other service.

Me on the other hand would LOVE to have one place where i could have all my team mates on one place, right now when we need to train i send the email to one half of the team and FB messages to other.

Maybe you should try to fix that problem instead of creating FB like wall.

kodishaon Missing drawing API: Canvas vs SVG paradox

Oh, totally my bad, it was a typo. its 24k.

kodishaon Missing drawing API: Canvas vs SVG paradox

Wow, thats bold. I would love to do some experiments with divs, but i would really hesitate to put something like that in production.

I think that comments like this confirm that we really need new/better APIs, and i hope that browsers will get into it.

kodishaon Missing drawing API: Canvas vs SVG paradox

Thanks, that sounds really promising, will give it a try!

kodishaon Missing drawing API: Canvas vs SVG paradox

See linked screenshot.

Also there is one funcionality you want there: type in gene name (or prefix) and highlight matches and fade out rest of them to lets say 0.05 alpha.

kodishaon Missing drawing API: Canvas vs SVG paradox

Ah, good to know there area others out there :)

I really liked the object model of paper.js, but the very same layers/object model led to some performance issues ol large data sets. So im stuck with custom canvas implementation with no vector/high res export solution.

kodishaon Modifying a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem for high performance

same here, someone should recognize this opportunity.

It was the same with PC monitors, for years LCD models had ENORMOUS input lag and crappy features, but now we see models with 120HZ and no input lag/passtrough mode appearing.

kodishaon Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail Released

Their timing, especially for us in Europe is really bad.

If they announce update it should be available for us before we start doing actual work.

kodishaon An apology to open source

This will be NVD3 scenario all over again.
