I guess Sony makes a lot of other hardware products already, maybe that experience gives them an edge over Microsoft.

I wonder if it is possible to make a simple version to run entirely in the frontend, for short clips?

You can capture video and download it from canvas: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/10/capture-st...

And it looks possible to add separate audio to it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39302814/mediastream-cap....

You could also recreate the waveforms and add to the canvas: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_A...,

Not widely supported, but you could try to add speech recognition too https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_...

That seems a bit much. Not great when you have to go through the process everytime you update your site. Or more likely, you will forget you implemented this & also how you did it in the first place..

You mean the element is moved offscreen, and has display: none; applied? And now you want to move it onscreen.

Do it entirely css. if you use a have a keyframe animation applied and remove display:none on clicking. The animation will fire immediately. Unlike trying to transition it without using keyframes.

I have noticed these malicious chrome install rediects have odd behaviour, sometimes they trigger sometimes they don't.

The often only trigger once, when you visit it. And that's it.

I think it is to make it harder for people to report it, as it does not always pop up/redirect. 'maybe it is just your machine, seems ok on my end'

I disagree, It is a free image hosting platform for sharing images. There is nothing wrong with linking to it.

If you upload or want to share what is on the platform, they would prefer if you link it that way, as is their right.

It is a business after all. And If people want to hotlink directly to an image they should pay up and host it themselves.

Offtopic, but...is it just me or is there a bug on the 'hide related artices' button? Pressing space while focused on it triggers the action twice. So it just opens/closes.

I rarely visit anymore since the partial redesign. For one thing the page loads are very long, with an annoying splash page.

Two, the endless scroll, but they have your profile button on the footer and other essential links? How has that not been brought up?

The site overall has annoying and bad ux.

Makes me wonder if the site has essentially been abandoned by the owner. At the least it is neglected.

'Industrial espionage was implicated in the capacitor plague, in connection with the theft of an electrolyte formula. A materials scientist working for Rubycon in Japan left the company, taking the secret water-based electrolyte formula for Rubycon's ZA and ZL series capacitors[citation needed], and began working for a Chinese company. The scientist then developed a copy of this electrolyte[citation needed]. Then, some staff members who defected from the Chinese company copied an incomplete version of the formula[citation needed] and began to market it to many of the aluminium electrolytic manufacturers in Taiwan, undercutting the prices of the Japanese manufacturers.[1][42] This incomplete electrolyte lacked important proprietary ingredients which were essential to the long-term stability of the capacitors[4][23] and was unstable when packaged in a finished aluminum capacitor. This faulty electrolyte allowed the unimpeded formation of hydroxide and produced hydrogen gas.[36]'

Huh, I did not know this was the reason behind it.

I think it is just a USB keyboard like the rubber ducky.

The cool thing is how small it is, and it having wifi.

I have seen this guy showing some of his stuff off before on hak5's youtube.

Would be interesting to see if it could be put into a mouse USB, with passthrough so the user can use the mouse as normal. But I guess you could just stick it inside the mouse casing...as long as somebody doesn't inspect the insides of the mouse.

NetBeans 10.0 8 years ago

Any PHP devs here? what IDEs are you using currently. Is netbeans considered crummy for modern development?

People keep making offhand comments about it lately, and i wondered if there is a much better(and free) alternative I am overlooking.

Stupid question here, but I have tried to google it a couple times and not found the exact answers I want.

When setting up a server on VPS what exact 'dashboards'/'control panels' are available?

Like op, I want to keep an eye on things manually in one place, similar to what I get pre-set up in cpanel shared hosting. Disk space usage, total traffic used that month, tracking server load, pages visited, and by what IPs, etc.(ideally without using google analytics script tag on page)

I wan't to analyse the performance of my webapp really, relative to the amount of people signed up.

I am going to be using LEMP stack.

I imagine they are semi open because maybe they exist only to counter things like for example:

Imagine we were using our armed services to provide purely humanitarian assistance in a theater(is that the right word?). And Russian troll farms are pumping out news saying we are invaders, and actually killing and kidnapping people who try to get help from them.

This directly puts our guys on the ground at even greater risk.

Even people at home and in allied countries start to believe it. It makes life harder for them in the future in many ways, politically and global politically.

It could be they exist purely to dispel actual myths/lies, and are kinda like the snopes of armed forces news.

At least this is what I hope the intention is..

So if you have a large number of buttons or other elements with the same class you will be repeating yourself over and over.

With elements with a large number of style rules, you add a lot of very long lines to your html.

This would be a nightmare to work on/maintain.

I have noticed a lot more landing pages using gradients/plain backgrounds instead of a big hero image.

Also my first response, 'is this just marketing?'.

'Buy apple products, we care about your data. We will help protect it. Encrypt it. Not share it. And block others form trying to get your data'

But are Apple as benevolent as they say? Do you trust such a gigantic corporation? Are they colluding with governments instead of just advertisers?

The way theregister.co.uk works is that along with their own writers, anyone can submit articles. They pick whether to publish it it/edit then publish.

Most news sites do this, even the biggest and most respected. But I think they get a larger amount of their content this way, and consequentially some of it can be a bit self-promoty.
