This landing page is terrible.

There's a bunch of professional photos of the camera, two with a hand, then two next to a pair of pants, then on a handbag.

Only after all that it is shown on a laptop, where it is actually used! It should be the first image. Also, there's so little comparison between built-in webcam image and their offerings.

Then there's a huge video with a bead sliding on the rope holding the camera. It seems that the marketers are just masturbating with the high-quality photography they made. It's not actually useful.

This is not a problem users were like "I don't know how I can go from a meeting to another with my camera".

Also, their "Have you ever wished you could instantly mute yourself in a video call without having to look for that elusive mic button? Well, now you can have it." -- this is a solved problem with mute buttons on F1/F2 or whatever your laptop does. Or at least, current mute solutions are not harder than "I'm bring my own webcam, plug it in, configure the audio source, position it correctly on the top of my screen"

This landing page is out-of-touch with actual problems users may have.

The data seems problematic, there's a few 0's here and there and some strange noise in the rest. Increase the number of samples / iterations with `core-to-core-latency 30000 1000 --csv > output.csv`

I've been very interested in that topic for the past years.

We've implemented an in-kernel linux multicore record/replay engine. See for more: http://velvetpulse.com/2012/11/27/scribe-the-deterministic-t...

We also did a mutable replay engine, to replay on modified program (e.g. replay a bug that happened in a production environment, but this time with the logging verbosity turned into debug mode). Check out Dora: http://viennot.biz/asplos2013_dora.pdf

with wemux, you still need to give SSH access to your local machine, but with tmate, you don't give SSH access. As a matter of fact, you don't even need an SSH server on your machine.

The trouble of having to setup networking // SSH accounts is gone

Often, Hacker News saddens me.

This article provides some good insights on the Angular framework and a nice way to follow the code iteratively and understand the thought process. It gives a refreshing angle (no pun indented) to introduce the framework.

Why does this article only has 22 points when I see some articles like "How to get user feedback by giving away free coffee at Starbucks" or "What really happened at Company X while they farted some money" getting x10 points.

Oh well...
