Do you mind me asking, where was the program?

One key difference would be vvvv is a desktop app while cables lives in the browser.
Re:Ask HN: What was the best decision you made in your career? on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @12:40AM (#18072837)
Dropped "being involved" in what I want to do to "doing" what I want to do. This involved moving to New York and running my own web consultancy, which failed miserably. Still a great decision.
I agree that glasses are the ultimate direction that mobile devices and AR are heading towards, but I don’t think holding a device up in the air is the worst interaction (compared to something strapped to your face with VR, even a helmet might be better?)

I think holding a device in the air and shining it around has a natural feel similar to a magnifying glass or a flashlight. More intuitive and not as intrusive. That’s just my opinion though.

I was unaware of this. Thank you.

Interesting! I was under the impression they were solely in control of the cache and the content. I will look further into this. Thank you.

It's true that loading fast and giving you the info you wanted directly from the search results page is a good thing. It is also important to realize there's a trade off happening where you're further locked into Google and their ecosystem. It's a pretty dramatic change to the way search has worked up until now. It more mimics the way internal webviews work in Apps like Twitter and Facebook apps.
If I'm reading this correctly, out of date versions of chrome (>10 weeks old) simply weren't loading sites like https://www.amazon.com/

This exact issue was affecting my girlfriend's machine a few days ago. I restarted chrome to update and the problem went away. At the time, I just thought it was an overly pushy new feature by google to force people to update.

Right now that's how I'm feeling in NYC.
Someone should at least add Max/MSP/Jitter to the list. Visual programming is really fun. https://cycling74.com
Nice site! You should put the list of languages up front so we all stop pointing out what's missing.
I tried typing elixir and erlang. No results.

But once data collection tools become easily abstracted and implemented anyone can create their own surveillance network to do as they please.

Re:From web dev to 3D: Learning 3D modeling on Thursday May 19, 2016 @11:13AM (#11730828)
It's not that easy. Loading obj's into three.js is like trying to open a jpg in '94. Everything has to be exported just right otherwise three.js will just throw an error. It's sort of arcane.

I didn't see too much of an explanation on deep learning. It was more of just Quoc introducing himself.

There's something non-standard going on with it for me. It snaps to certain sections at the bottom and I can't swipe to navigate back and forth like I usually do.
Re:Vue.js spring boot starter on Saturday January 09, 2016 @12:16PM (#10871982)
It's a more than decent alternative to libraries like Angular or React for building web interfaces. I've followed a few tutorials and find it really inspiring. I hope it catches on.

Re:Anki – a program which makes remembering things easy on Sunday December 13, 2015 @05:35PM (#10728268)
I agree with this, but in some professions this is a very established way of doing things with a long history that's been passed down from mentor to students for a long time. If you refuse to work in these types of situations then you had better not try to still work in that profession.

Fantastic info. Thanks for sharing that.
Re:Surviving an Alcoholic on Wednesday May 27, 2015 @11:32PM (#9615923)
I was surprised that it 6 years to drink yourself to death. I agree it was very sudden and that something must have happened to trigger that. I feel like it could have been a genetic predisposition. Our bodies have lots of internal alarms and triggers. Perhaps something went off that triggered this downward spiral. A combination of environmental stresses coinciding with internal clocks. We'll never know. This is definitely a sad story. I appreciate the authors honesty about it. I'm very touched.

Maybe the image was blown up larger than what's in the print version? The illustrator's style seems to look better in the smaller format.
