With imgur, you can just right-click and hit `Save video as...` in both Chrome/Firefox (even without manually adding their ".gifv" extension)

Twitter though, doesn't seem possible

Why do they do that kind of thing? If anything, you might expect them to include less RAM & storage so that you're forced to work under tighter limitations.

This page[1] documents some effects of gamma-incorrect resizing. Specifically, check out Figure 12.

Can you elaborate on this please?

Improvement: If I navigate to https://botlist.co/bots/filter?platform=5, then I should be able to see what each bot claims to do, without needing to click in to the #show page

I posted one of your share links into our Slack, and was really impressed with the image it found (your `meta property="og:image"`) & attached in the rich snippet! Nice work!

Regarding the avatar images:

Why not a <div> with a border-radius & background color? Seems you could achieve the same thing without another HTTP request (1 for each unique avatar), no need to zopfli 45,000 unique files.

I just want it to stop.

You and I are kindred spirits.

I feel it's getting worse. A large % of the links (mostly start-ups landing pages, not articles) I click on HN just present me with a completely blank white page. No <noscript>, nothing! If you're lucky, you see enough to realize that it's probably just a page that relies on JS. It's never a good first impression.

It's getting progressively more annoying to whitelist the TLD as well as the myriads of CDNs that sites are using. Often it's a click gamble: a "Temporarily allow sketchy.domain.com", throwing in the towel and saying "Temporarily allow all this site".

Site embeds a video? Good luck picking which domain to whitelist out of a list of 35 different domains ;) Temporarily allow one, reload, repeat a few times, close tab in anger and disappointment.

It could be you! ;)

reminds me a lot of TermKit

looking cool!

Keep building it. Especially if it interests you. It interested you enough to start it in the first place! Just don't build it with the expectation that you'll garner fame or fortune.

I imagine a lot of people could use some kind of OSS sentiment detection, even if it's not perfect.

Try therapy before pills

Reddit is down; what was it?

Looks great! Any timeline on Android?

Something like Netflix, but for your home

https://github.com/qq99/muvee

- rails, open source

- find & torrent movies and tv shows

- organize your media and enrich files with art, descriptions, ratings

- controls your Hue lights to match playback

A while back I wrote https://echoplex.us, which had video/voice WebRTC calling

Now, I've mostly abandoned the project

It may be something for you to check out

Rough, I'm sorry that happened to you

Agreed, I did not look further seeing heroku there. One of the thoughts that came to mind is maybe this is spinning up dynos for you. Hopefully not hosting many sites under 1 dyno

Why does nobody make a noscript version of their site?!

There's absolutely no body text on this page unless you allow their JS

What part of that website needs JavaScript?

https://github.com/qq99/muvee - μv, a mix of concepts like Plex, Netflix, Popcorn Time for your LAN, with Hue light support. I'm working on this one regularly and use it frequently at home

https://echoplex.us/ - anonymous chat, code, draw, WebRTC calls, with PGP support. Much less maintained nowadays

Sorry, I meant the code for this .app specifically

Is this open source?

I would love to play with this

Completely white page with NoScript, please add a <noscript> tag

I think you've massively devalued an entire people based on the actions of their government...

Let's not forget the great value and results of CS education in the US:

- spying for pretty much everybody, regardless of location

- drone guidance systems to kill people unlawfully

- missile systems for air strikes on countries purported to have WMDs

- millions of $ spent on silly apps that arguably do nothing to improve quality of life, whilst millions suffer and die of starvation

Do you really know enough about North Korea's tech community to say that "More likely, these students will go on to make software for less-than-ethical purposes"?

Check out https://echoplex.us

Interesting project, when I saw the headline I was like, "welp, someone totally built what I built"

https://echoplex.us

Though looking more closely, they're not quite the same project.

Here's a similar project by a colleague of mine:

Friendly NoScript user reporting in: I only see a blank white page!

If you're OK with screwing over Safari/IE users, you'll have pretty good support. You could engineer a browser-based fallback to gif, but honestly I wouldn't bother.

I'd imagine we can create an impetus to support it if we actually used it more

I don't follow your comment, but I should have been more explicit:

gif is a waste of bandwidth compared to a soundless webm

Why bother with gif these days, and why in the browser?
