paynedigitalon Whistle: Speech to Text in 16.9 MB

You can absolutely do high quality, low latency, even multilingual local streaming nowadays. As the commenter above says, Nemotron 3.5 Streaming is awesome. We make heavy use of it in our transcription app.

paynedigitalon Show HN: Combining AJAX, pushState & CSS3 transitions

None at all actually, that's just a mahoosive oversight on my part. I've been working on lots of server side caching and server optimisation (e.g. mod_pagespeed) and committed the cardinal sin of ignoring the basics. Thanks for pointing it out - one for the issue tracker.

paynedigitalon Show HN: Combining AJAX, pushState & CSS3 transitions

I'd hope a bit of gentle education surrounding the pros (i.e. very few, just a slightly slicker effect) Vs the cons (i.e all those you outlined) would make most clients see that it's not worth the effort, in this instance at least. But yeah - I take your point :)

Hey - I have pondered using less / sass / etc but so far haven't yet had much need (though the repetition required by the theming is perhaps a strong case to start considering it).

paynedigitalon Bootbox.js - alert, confirm and flexible dialogs for Twitter's bootstrap

I guess on a site all about links I really should have figured that one out!

Main github repo: https://github.com/makeusabrew/bootbox

Issues list / feature requests: https://github.com/makeusabrew/bootbox/issues

And a bit of a rubbish demo: http://makeusabrew.github.com/bootbox/demo/

Cheers!

Hi all - thanks for all the comments, great to see this article made it to Hacker News! Glad some more people are finding a use for the library. Feel free to get involved with the project on Github - not sure of HN etiquette so won't post the link but it's available via the article.

Cheers!

Nick
