Youtube player has a setting for playback speed. I almost always watch YT videos in 2x speed or more.

Re:Cloud9 Acquired by Amazon on Thursday July 14, 2016 @08:48AM (#12093257)
Wouldn't virtual machine basically do the same thing? I've taken some classes where teacher gave us an image where everything was already installed and configured. Everything went smoothly.

However, Cloud9 is much more convenient since it runs entirely on browser but VM solution could work in case C9 discontinues its free tier.

I just tested this on my iOS and this seems to be fixed on the latest iOS (9.3.2).
Re:Show HN: XMoto.js on Sunday April 17, 2016 @12:26PM (#11515079)
Looks really cool! Have you thought about adding multiplayer?

I really wish someone would do the same for Elma/Elastomania. I feel like it has much more funnier physics with it's elastic suspensions etc. Even the third party extension which added multiplayer support was amazing ten years back.

Btw, is this project still active? Last commit was nine months ago.

Re:LinkedIn has lost its vision on Saturday March 26, 2016 @06:58PM (#11367870)
I don't get why updating your profile is associated to "looking for a job". For me it's good to have the profile in a good shape since it can create leads.
Re:Show HN: Character Recognition with OpenCV on Sunday January 24, 2016 @02:35PM (#10963680)
This looks cool. I didn't try the examples but that receipt example is what I really need.

I keep track of how much money do I spend on what things by going through receipts collected over a month. While the information is useful it's too much manual work. I wish I could just scan or take a picture of my receipts and extract text for further processing.

Vising on that page was a mistake. It made my Chrome on OS X unresponsive for a while (until I force quit) and it polluted my browsing history.

We're working on getting Android support along with other devices (iPhone 5/6/6+).
Re:Show HN: Build, run and share React Native apps in your browser on Thursday September 17, 2015 @07:29AM (#10232691)
Thanks! We have worked quite a lot in the past month to push this out.

Special thanks to Joshua who has done the groundwork with others. He's a great guy and it's been pleasure to work with him.

Backend is powered by Rails. The editor is React app and the site is partly using React components.
Re:Show HN: Build, run and share React Native apps in your browser on Thursday September 17, 2015 @05:26AM (#10232366)
We have plans to add more examples and complete apps as well in the future.

Support for Android will come later, also landscape mode for simulator etc.

In default it doesn't work well with non-ASCII characters.

This is cool and simple. :)
This is neat! Thanks for sharing.

What's the status of mixins? How could I do something similar in terms of functionality in ES6?

I'm a bit disappointed because of neither React or React Native were part of this release.

Mumble's source is on GitHub, maybe they might move binaries there, too.
Delayed Gratification comes to my mind but it's a printed magazine.

Re:Finland: Typing takes over as handwriting lessons end on Saturday November 22, 2014 @03:16PM (#8646537)
Just guessing but I think learning cursive improves fine motor skill which might be more important than writing cursive.

I personally prefer teaching typing over handwriting.
