OP, This looks great! Having the index on the left is a huge improvement and limiting the text length is definitely helpful. Now I don't have to resize my window to a smaller size every time I open it.

A lot of HN tends to dislike anything "new", please don't let it get to you :)

Actually I dont know about a library, I got the idea and the core code for the effect from http://lamberta.github.io/html5-animation/
Re:Show HN: Interactive Website I did on Monday September 15, 2014 @02:51PM (#8320641)
Yes you are right. The website is meant as a landing page for an event. But yeah, I should make the game mode more obvious and straight forward to get to.

Ask HN: Mobile advanced animation resources?

Hello,Animations are definitely in. Google's material design is heavily influenced by animations. But sometimes its pretty daunting to create amazing animations and visual flow. Can anoyone please recommend a few good resources for doing this. Im mostly looking for technical resources. Like maybe the porgramming patterns of animations or just general motion design.

I also got a 500 when trying to signup with facebook. When asked about posting I selected privacy as "Only Me". Maybe that had something to do with it.

Anyway I love the website and learning tracks.

git is a distributed system. Everyone else has a full copy of the repository. therefore everyone actually has a backup.

Brilliant stuff. I'm too attached to chrome to let it go completely but this is brilliant when quickly opening links from other apps. Nice stuff

Wrote a script which plays using a simple greedy approach. Chooses the current best option. Doesn't seem to get past 512 so far. It does however consistently get till 256. Just copy the code in the console and restart the game (space bar) to run.

Does anybody have a better approach? Other than randomize and trying your luck? Or maybe that is the best algorithm for this case..

Re:Ask HN: Decode Youtube 500 page on Monday February 10, 2014 @10:46AM (#7211611)
Can you divulge what kinds of information is stored in it. Or the encoding it uses?
Re:Ask HN: Decode Youtube 500 page on Monday February 10, 2014 @09:10AM (#7211121)
I cant seem to get any legible data.

For the vim users the fugitive plugin by tpope provides a nice way to do this using vim's vimdiff. It is a delight to use.

Here is a video of vimcasts tutorial. http://vimcasts.org/episodes/fugitive-vim-working-with-the-g...

Thanks I've done that!

Ask HN: Remote Internship

I am a CS student studying in Bangalore right now. I love all aspects of CS and its been a great ride so far. I am however more interested in and have experience (lots of hobby projects) in web development and android development. I love learning new stuff and I can quickly pick up as I go. I'm also really dedicated and quite often can't sleep till I solve the problem I'm stuck on. (sometimes...

Re:How To Hire Outsourced Developers on Wednesday January 15, 2014 @01:44PM (#7065228)
In the android app the line "Create a ListView that groups the recent commits by author in a custom view." is confusing to me. What I get from that is something of this form:

    author1:
        commit1
        commit2
        ...
    author2:
        ...
however the example jpg doesnt look like it.
Do you mind posting a simple walkthrough for the answer

I'm curious. How does Uberwriter handle code? ``` fenced code or indented? Does it support it?

Anybody has good resources (preferably free) on creating online visualizations. Not links to the d3.js documentation but good tutorials creating visualizations you often use on the internet. Like creating your own cool dashboard and stuff like that.
Re:A basic guide to when and how to deploy HTTPS on Saturday December 21, 2013 @01:35PM (#6947465)
Can you explain more on how two sessions would work? I mean if the hijacker hijacks the http session he can convert it to https by following the same steps the user does. Since amazon does not ask the user to reauthenticate on https pages.
Re:A basic guide to when and how to deploy HTTPS on Saturday December 21, 2013 @01:18PM (#6947383)
Alot of ecommerce sites (Amazon, Flipkart) seem to use HTTP over HTTPS. Even when you're logged in. These sessions can easily be hijacked. I assume this is because of the handshake latency of HTTPS. Is there no way around this latency to make your website feel faster? I imagine there isnt, because even amazon uses HTTP.
Re:A basic guide to when and how to deploy HTTPS on Saturday December 21, 2013 @01:15PM (#6947372)
I've noticed this too. Alot of ecommerce sites use HTTP for browsing. I assume this is because of speed. However I dont see why the session cannot be hijacked? If i copy all of the cookies how will the server differentiate the hijacker from the user. They both have the same cookies.
