I built an app using metal compute shaders to capture 4d gaussian splat video for the iphone. Took about two months to get it running in realtime with good compression and quantisation.

Apple have now rejected it 5 times (it takes them a week to reply each time, so that's 5 weeks) for nit picking things, inconsistently each time.

I know the app store can be like this, but it's been enough to push me back to being an android developer.

I love my macbook, but i might try rocking a graphene os phone.

Feature request:

Add an AI query tool - you could do it on-device with something like functionary ggml and llama cpp with a few functions:

getSchemaForTables(...) getTableStats() runQuery('...')

Then you could do a query like:

"show me all customers who regularly post between midnight and 1am"

I worked part time on this project for about 2 years, and full time with a small team for the last year. It's all typescript / webgl / node.js / preact, and lots of microservices.

This is fantastic news, awesome work André!

Cargo bikes! You can easily take one or two children on a cargo bike (yuba for example).

They are though. What if the API you're relying on doesn't have types and it returns something you didn't expect.

I think this is the biggest gotcha for developers who are using typescript. Typescript doesn't do runtime type checks, so if you're calling out to something third party that isn't written in typescript, you can't trust it'll return what you think it returns.

Yeah - if this was using something like flexbox for layout that'd actually be pretty neat.

You don't have to write cmake commands in UPPERCASE ANY MORE.

This seems super spammy, there was no pricing, only "get a quote".

I'm working on putting up a mirror of dmoz at www.zedurl.com.

The DMOZ data is licensed under creative commons and there is a RDF export. I downloaded the data, registered a domain - http://www.zedurl.com/ - and I'll try knock up a mirror of DMOZ tonight as a rails app. I'll update this post if things go well.

You don't need all those tools. I'm a big fan of browserify and the budo development server.

  npm init
  npm install -g budo
  npm install --save-dev babelify babel-preset-es2015
  echo "console.log('hello world')" > index.js
  budo index.js --live -- -t [ babelify --presets [ es2015 ] ]

This post makes me sad. Javascript, CSS and HTML can all be used powerfully, performantly and in a managed way where anyone can come on board and contribute. Facebook, Google and Microsoft all use the web stack to run huge companies. To broadly paint this web stack that so many people poured countless hours into making, as 'impossible' to use is doing it a great disservice.

But hey man, that's just like your opinion.

Hi, I'm the author of . It's my take on an anonymous location based chat. It's written in react, using node.js, websockets and a redis backend - deployed to heroku. I'm a big fan of omegle and slack, so I took some of the best bits and mashed them together with the gelocation API.

ps: It moos as the notification sound.

When are you going to fix the mobile css? Surely that'd take about 4 minutes.

Well, if someone is born on mars in the next 20 years and then flies back to earth, I guess your wish will be granted.

The history scrubber (scroll back through time and see all the decision ideas that were tried out and abandoned) is genius.

I'm the developer, happy to chat with anyone!

It's only 180 lines of javascript to make this game, scenevr does all the heavy lifting.

Have you looked at the source? Maybe it caches a bunch of expensive to compute stuff? Or are you just assuming it wants to track you?

I heard they tried but the dude didn't want to move from wherever, ohio to SF.

Cool post. I don't think this is a Show HN though.

This isn't a Show HN. Can someone flag this as spam?

Meanwhile, over 3000 dead in west africa.

I want to buy half a dozen commodore 64s and stash them in my attic. I'm pretty sure they'll be worth a few hundred each in 10 years time.

Nice job at trying to scare people for a very unlikely break-in-scenario, as the other comments point out.

Cool! I just use the ruby identicon generate for herenow.

I implemented a little bit of animation and a 'native-esque' SPAM button in my app Herenow. I used css3, and to be honest, it doesn't feel quite native because the webview isn't as fast as a native control would be. Looks are easy, feel is hard.

What beach is that in the header image? It looks nice.

I'm a solo founder, and it's hard keeping motivated, if i'm not committing to the code, it's just not getting done. If I had a cofounder there would be someone else adding code, and I'd feel compelled to do my share.

It's definitely doable though, and it's much more productive just working on your idea than hanging around meetups hoping to meet that someone special.

Wow that's uncool. Hey, I saw you spent $1 million on a toy, so you have to donate $8 million to my cause.
