It's cool to see how far Ruffle has come in making flash games playable without flash. Was able to go check out a flash game I uploaded 15 years ago on here, and it's completely playable now, when I just assumed it was gone forever. There's so much content on Newgrounds and similar sites that isn't lost to time because of it, makes me want to go spend a few hours reliving the olden days.

I agree that it's a great example, and would be cool to have a similar example when you first load the site. Being able to play with code that exists is much more engaging than having a blank slate.

And that's just the people who have submitted early. With more than 14 hours left, that number will likely be well north of 1000 (though probably not many are using Dart like Notch).

Yes, looks like both of those are triggers (or buttons) on the back.

I have the same issue with no text after the logo. My "GPU compositing on all pages" was set to the default, but after changing it to "enabled" I still see no text. Version 31.0.1626.5 dev-m Aura SyzyASan
Re:Show HN: Using 3D CSS transform to make a "live screenshot"
on Sunday August 18, 2013 @03:11AM (#6231958)
Similar problem, using Version 30.0.1588.0 dev-m.
As I resize my browser the screenshot position moves (such that it never fully lines up). It's always near the laptop screen, but depending on the width of the browser it's always off either in size or position.

By visiting a YouTube video, I am giving YouTube my consent to play me a video, including any sound it might contain. I completely expect YouTube videos to play sound and am prepared for it, unlike websites such as this.

Complete disagree with you here. Like any form of art, it's completely subjective. I much prefer the original to the filtered version. I can totally understand people not liking pixel art, but saying it has no artistic value seems ridiculous.

Newline characters make for some interesting spoofing here.

While I think his claims of high delivery charges are fair, I don't think it's right to call it hidden. When pricing your book in Amazon's self publishing (I am assuming here he went through KDP), it calculates in real time the delivery charge and estimated royalty based on the price you input. There is also a blurb on the right side of the same page explaining the delivery charge, and how it applies to the 70% royalty plan (and now there is no delivery charge for 35% royalty).

http://axgl.org/ - Wrote and launched an open source, hardware accelerated 2D flash game library
There are quite a few things I really like about it. It makes it really easy to quickly share something without having to choose the language for it to reasonably syntax-highlight (and the ability to change the URL for more precise highlighting is very nice).
My main gripe is the hotkeys. In the latest stable Chrome, some hotkeys (control+n, control+t) don't work, as they perform the native chrome operations (open new window, open new tab).
