mauricesvay··on Mac OS Ventura Issues
One Ventura bug that has been annoying me: in Image Capture, all my GoPro footage has a timestamp of 0 (Jan 1st 1970).
mauricesvay··on Automatic Video Editing
Makes me think of https://www.descript.com/
mauricesvay··on The Game UI Database, a comprehensive reference of game interface design
Great resource. It would be great to have the animations also. How games transitions from one screen to another, or how the UI elements are animated is what makes game UI so cool.

Also check out his most recent 3D sculpting app https://nomadsculpt.com
mauricesvay··on Show HN: From Markdown to Video

mauricesvay··on Launch HN: Sqreen (YC W18) – Securing Web Apps

mauricesvay··on 3D Comics
There you go https://sketchfab.com/models/5659b3b539e94dcca00a315ac6a4825...
mauricesvay··on Staging Servers Must Die
The article is certainly biased (the author works for a company that does feature flags as a service). I don't see how feature flags help when there's breaking changes (like data migration). Also deploying to production directly makes features that destroy data even more dangerous.
mauricesvay··on Show HN: Blueprint3D – Design interior spaces in 3D with WebGL
Any plan to add metric system?

This is great. Deserves an upvote.
mauricesvay··on Das Referenz: Wikipedia Redesigned for iPad
Every Wikipedia "redesigns" miss the essence of Wikipedia. Of course a better reading experience is desirable. But the goal of Wikipedia is to allow people to share their knowledge by contributing. If a redesign fails to address both sides of the experience, it is probably not a good redesign.
mauricesvay··on Skeletal Tracking Beta
Meh.
mauricesvay··on Hoodie – Fast web app development
Can we finally save public data?
mauricesvay··on Lens Blur in the new Google Camera app
The interesting part is not that it can blur a part of the image. The interesting part is that it can generate a depth map automatically from a series of images taken from different points of view, using techniques used in photogrammetry.
mauricesvay··on Ask HN: I want to learn how to prototype hardware. Where do I start?
Arduino is easy to start with and can go pretty far. If you are specifically interested in Bluetooth LE, there are a couple of BLE prototyping board that are Arduino-compatible: - http://bleduino.cc - http://www.rfduino.com - http://redbearlab.com/blemini/
mauricesvay··on Hollow Icons are Bad
Seriously, again?
