that paradox bop is truly one of my favorites. back in the day i would just leave the keygen running for the tunes. what other software can people say they leave on just for the vibes ?? good times

from what i've seen anything heavier than a URL is NOT stored directly in the blockchain. And even URLs are done sparingly and/or dynamically.

for example NFT metadata/data is often stored in IPFS & only linked to from the contract.

but confusingly some people still call data stored on IPFS "on-chain data".

I couldn't find it with a quick search, but I remember many years ago someone creating a similar scheme for storing files inside of TinyURLs.

You would run the uploader and get back a list of TinyURLs that could then be used to retrieve the files later with a downloader.

But you couldn't store too much in each URL so the resulting list could be pretty big.

Heyyyy thanks glad you enjoyed it! I was surprised to wake up and see this on Hacker News today.

Thought I'd comment on the video editing:

It is all pretty low tech. I use Adobe Premiere to edit and mostly just animate transform, scale, and crop effects to achieve everything. Like for the zooms you pointed out I double up a layer of the screencap and then crop and scale. It's a bit painstaking at times.

Another little part is when I do the screen recording I set my desktop background to an image with a colored box area of 1280x720. This is the area I know will be "on screen". So I have the windows I want to pull in during the video just outside this area. Then I crop to this box in editing. I think this is better looking than just capturing the whole desktop, and I like the live feel.

I'm enjoying evolving this style... I sometimes have thoughts of making some kind of gross homemade video compositing tool in JS. But I haven't gotten there yet...

Dang this is sneaky and awesome ! Great job. I'll have to remember this

Looks like it's adding a canvas element to the divs and positioning it to line up.

Just found this: https://github.com/mdibaiee/awesome-lite-websites

Totally agree !

I basically learned to code on a TI-83.

The fact that it's a mobile programming platform is a huge plus as well. I haven't seen anything comparable on smart phones. And a touch screen just can't compete with that keyboard. Even if it is a weird layout.

Underrated device !

Ah but you can !

I bought a Thinkpad T420 last year and put OS X on it using this amazing guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285678-lenovo-thinkpa...

Works great :]

I found ammo in boxes next to the guns. But I didn't at first see it as ammo, I thought it was some kind of barrier and moved on. So maybe it's a matter of making that more obviously ammo looking ? Like a stack of bullets ?

If you want a way to discover 3D printable stuff specifically, check out http://stl.garden/

It's something I made a few weeks ago for fun to discover STL files on GitHub.

Let me know what you think :]

I bought the original Alfred v1 Powerpack.

But, they recently made that unavailable for download and want me to buy v3... Which I don't need.

So I've been awaiting an alternative.

So thanks for this ! I'm excited to try it out.

Unfortunately Lambda falls apart a bit when you want to do any on-request HTML generation.

You're also kind of stuck with hash URLs if you want to link to anything in your app.

If you've got a truly single page app hitting an API, or you can generate pages and upload them to S3, you're golden.

But there isn't currently a way of having Lambda serve up dynamically generated HTML pages without some funny business.

I'm sure this will change in the future, but it's stopped me from using it for now.

I've been working quite a bit with the Web Audio API recently (building a modular soft-synth), and I can confirm that it is a bit wonky, but ultimately more powerful than one might expect.

There are lots of little oddities that I had to research or discover to get the API to do what I want. For example, dynamic sound generation nodes will not run in certain circumstances where the system believes they are unattached from the audio output. These nodes also have a bad habit of garbage collecting their event listener functions.

Performance is definitely an issue as well, and I still get some audio tearing type pops and clicks despite quite a bit of optimization.

I think some of these issues are due to that fact that the Web Audio API spec is still being worked out (https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/)! Some API components are deprecated in the newer versions of the spec, but have not been replaced in current browsers. Which leaves the API in a weird limbo state.

BUT! All that said. I've been pushing the API pretty hard to build this modular synth and it is working admirably. I think a game engine would have an easier time getting it to do what is needed. I'm always amazed at what you can do in the browser these days, Web Audio API included.

Two words: Roth IRA

I really like the idea of the CEO and employee roles within ourselves. Thanks for that.

Came here for this. Thanks.

Is there info anywhere on running Surf on Mac OS ?

SEEKING WORK

Hey there!

I'm Matthew Rayfield and I develop iOS and Web apps.

More and more the line between mobile and web is blurring. That collision of always in your pocket and always online is where I find myself excited to work and learn.

- --- -

Previously I've worked on:

- An iPad/Web based medical sales rep. platform (designed for and in use by a Fortune 100 company)

- A mobile ad platform used internally by a company with hundreds of apps

- Dozens of iPhone/iPad applications

- Various smaller web applications

- --- -

I'm most comfortable doing front-end Javascript, but I've done my share of back-end work as well.

Languages and tools I've worked with:

- Javascript

- Objective-C

- Python

- Tornado (web framework)

- Node.js

- Photoshop

- PHP

- MongoDB

- MySQL / SQLite

- Nginx

- Apache

- Oh, and of course gobs of HTML with CSS

- --- -

And I'd love to work on your interesting project!

Shoot me an email (matthewrayfield@gmail.com) and we'll make it happen.

P.S. I'll be in San Francisco for most of May. But remote work is fine too.

It's a succinct way of describing your product.

From http://ycombinator.com/howtoapply.html :

One good trick for describing a project concisely is to explain it as a variant of something the audience already knows. It's like Wikipedia, but within an organization. It's like an answering service, but for email. It's eBay for jobs. This form of description is wonderfully efficient. Don't worry that it will make your idea seem "derivative." Some of the best ideas in history began by sticking together two existing ideas no one realized could be combined.

Thanks!

File upload is definitely something we've talked about adding. Z-index too is something we need to fix up. We wanted to get this out there pretty quickly.

It's interesting what you said about the grid and list not being much use. And I agree, I just envision a time where one might have tons of items on a board, and not having a way to line them up could make finding something in particular a pain.

On a different note: Thetaboard looks nice! A very clean design. Congrats on that!

Thanks again! Hope to have you in our beta

I had the same question. So I dug into the download page source and found an itms-services:// link pointing to a plist. This type of plist gives info about an app and points to an IPA which contains the app bundle itself. I've worked with enterprise certs before, and this was one of the ways we would initiate the intalls from a webpage.

So my guess is that they are indeed using an enterprise certificate. Though I can't be 100% sure, I can't think of anything else that would be done this way.

I was always under the impression that Apple required companies to have at least 500 employees to qualify for an enterprise cert. But, it looks like they might have lifted that restriction, which is fantastic.

I did try something like that where I loaded all the video segments at once and hid all but the current segment with CSS. However I wasn't able to get it working how I wanted, there were still loading delays and some visual glitches when switching clips, it also was a little unreliable. After fiddling with it, trying different hiding and timing methods and not getting the results I wanted I opted for a much simpler system. But, I think that a "double buffer" system could have improved playback if I'd spent more time on it.

Thanks!

Reminds me of the Ghostzilla project:

This is pretty awesome. I was unaware of Chrome's directory opening abilities. That's a game changer for this kind of app.

If you want a round about way of receiving inbound Google Voice calls through SIP (for free) you can do the following:

1. Get free SIP service from IPTel (http://www.iptel.org/service).

2. Get a free phone number in the Washington area with IPKall (http://www.ipkall.com/).

3. Add your new IPKall number to your Google Voice account.

Now when someone rings your GV number it will call your IPKall number which will in turn call your IPTel SIP account.

You'll probably want to disallow stuff like this: http://placesheen.com/phpthumb/phpthumb.php?src=http://cvcl....

Hey everyone. I'm still in the process of ironing out the bugs in this app and I don't own a smartphone myself, so any feedback is much appreciated!

Anybody know what Google standard issue? It's hard to imagine that they equip all there people THIS well. Then again, they are Google.
