tenryuu··on Show HN: Open source non-linear notepad app
Maybe because it's running ontop of chrome
tenryuu··on JSON isn't a good configuration language
But YAML supports comments multiline. You can't just say everything bad about JSON while neglecting the article's intentions in the flaws of JSON
tenryuu··on TerminalView – A terminal inside Sublime Text 3
Depending on how the desktop is encoded (sometimes it's a video encoded to a gif), you may get artifacts etc. that make every frame different. But if that's not the case, and the snapshot of each frame is pretty much 1:1 on what's on the desktop, you can use Imagemagick to remove duplicate frames

https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/anim_opt/#removedups

And right above this paragraph is a dope technique to use overlays and a non-dispose of frames to make the gif only change which pixels are being updated (like a video format I guess).

This might sound pretty complex, and sure, That's fair, we are coming up on 30 years since an update to the format. People just generally use videos these days for desktop recording since they're more suited for the job, at a even lower filesize

tenryuu··on TerminalView – A terminal inside Sublime Text 3
yes, but a 15 fps gif, where a majority of frames are just duplicates of the previous image? AND 265 colours? (Photoshop crashed my GPU trying to even display the this) I could cut this shit down to less than 1MB if I tried, retaining the horrible gif format.

There's no excuse for the file sizes to be this dramatic, apart from outright laziness

tenryuu··on TerminalView – A terminal inside Sublime Text 3
>21MB of gifs on the readme

Why?

tenryuu··on Discord does not allow 3rd party clients
I want to complain about their privacy policy
tenryuu··on Ask HN: Why is there so much hate to blockchain in Hacker News?
I still haven't been told about the benefits of a blockchain at all
tenryuu··on Reverse Engineering for Beginners
Not on Firefox mobile it works but elements do not feel like they display right. And you can scroll down to see hover answers, which had no questions.

I found out what those were exactly since I jumped into desktop mode, which had even more noticeable issues.

I hate mobile first design choices for adaptive interfaces, since they in a lot of cases, aren't suited for either platform

tenryuu··on Dispatch: web-based IRC client in Go
Used to use this, until I realised it's memory usage goes over what my slot is actually capable of.

Does an IRC client/webserver really need several hundred megabytes of ram? I then began just tunnelling hexchat. Only needed to bypass a firewall for irc

tenryuu··on Office 365 is being completely rewritten in JavaScript
Wouldn't mind comparing battery life of this against current office 365 on my Gen1 Surface Pro

Half the battery goes to edge alone on a good day

tenryuu··on Reddit just passed Facebook as #3 most popular website in US
Facebook also tending to restrict access to information behind a login. Compared to reddit, which most of its content is publicly visible. They are built on two very ideas though.

The amount of times I have to ask someone on Facebook to get information for me is upsetting. To clarify, I'm banned from Facebook, not for being a dickhead though

tenryuu··on I put all my personal data on eBay
> Loads more, like who I vote for, my boss’s name, and where all my family live.

So their selling other people's data too?

tenryuu··on Ask HN: What should I use to write native desktop apps for Ubuntu?
I'm writing a systray application in golang currently. Binaries turn around 3mb. There's an external library for cross platform tray support somewhere on github, I can't remember exactly what it's called though

Edit: it was the first result on Google; https://github.com/getlantern/systray

tenryuu··on Show HN: Nighthawk: A stealthy, simple, unobtrusive music player
Looks like it's based on the mobile application codebase. Which is ok at best, but it's nothing really compared the beast that is windows version
tenryuu··on Ascii Art Generator
Prefer this one a lot, used it for a long time.

Figlet's still figlet at the end of the day

tenryuu··on Medium tries to prevent people reading deleted articles on the Wayback Machine?
Uhh, is the first medium article not meant to be loading? worked fine for me, but I read it as it was meant to redirect to the homepage.

If I did read it wrong, I was able to load the second one fine as well

tenryuu··on VS Code can do that?
Visual Studio gets this feature soon, otherwise I use it all the time in sublime

tenryuu··on WiFi Backscatter – Connecting RF-Powered Devices to the Internet (2014) [video]
I thought there was a big part of this article missing. but turns out that the youtube embed isn't over https so the browser blocked it :/
tenryuu··on France’s government is building its own encrypted messenger service
What would appear in a lightweight fork of Riot though? Do you just remove a lot of the fluff to make it a bit more accessible for the public/general consumer?
tenryuu··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to reveal zero-width characters
So does it show the ZWJ within emoji combinations?
tenryuu··on Show HN: Devstream.tv – Watch developers code live
Twitch embeds are autoplay by default
tenryuu··on Scrcpy – An app to display and control Android devices
Been wanting an application like this for quite a long time, no wireless, no 3rd parties, just me, my usb and not requiring java :)
tenryuu··on The best Nintendo Switch feature is its lack of region-locking
I also appreciate the fact that the switch has built in support for Ethernet over usb-c (or your usb port in the dock)

What would honestly impress me, when the company making the music sequencer title for the console (petty sure it's by the same group behind the Korg titles on the 3ds), it's able to use MIDI over the usb-c port of the console, much like the support android has.

tenryuu··on Show HN: Graphite – A decentralized and encrypted Google Docs alternative
I still don't understand why everyone is going on about the block chain
tenryuu··on Introducing Airbnb Plus
A nice way for people to filter out, or even limit themselves to a more luxury option on the service.

You could see yourself never using it, or using it a lot, granted your circumstances or needs

tenryuu··on How PayPal Shares Your Data
firefox on desktop is also unusable really
tenryuu··on Signal partners with Microsoft to bring end-to-end encryption to Skype
One big reason not to is due to corporate policies, mostly could be summed into legal matters, such as privacy, usage rights etc.
tenryuu··on How Not to Design a Microwave
The instruction manual is 44 pages long https://www.fisherpaykel.com/download/user-guide/Kitchen/Coo...
tenryuu··on Show HN: Order pizza with random toppings
Sent this to my friend in the next room, he yelled back his exact thoughts. He wants to say that "you're a monster and why is this a thing"

I for one welcome adding an element of chaos into food ordering

tenryuu··on Show HN: Convert your Google Slides to high-quality animated GIFs and tweet
So we're converting a bunch of frames to lossy gifs, then when uploading to Twitter it's being converted to an interlaced video

I really don't think this was thought out very well
