Yeah, I saw that. It seems that the algorithm was trained and optimised only for that video. Person, bike, suitcase, tie, chair, cellphone.

Re:iPhone SE on Monday March 21, 2016 @03:04PM (#11330832)
16GB is enought for me. I don't watch movies, I don't listen to much music and I don't install apps. Just a phone with some basic apps and internet connections.

I also think 4 inches is decent size for my pocket.

I think I'll buy my first iPhone soon. Good job, Apple.

I thought that the Chameleon project is dead. I studied the source code a few years ago.

They are using some, but not all, features supported by Babel to compile ES6/ES2015 syntax to ES5.
Re:WAMP – The Web Application Messaging Protocol on Friday September 18, 2015 @02:01PM (#10240903)
I'm using deepstream.io for a project and it works well so far. It has some extra features like distribuited RPC calls, realtime search provider and transforming outgoing data.
We are talking here about Safari content blocking. iAd ads are not displayed in Safari, they are for native applications and you can display ads from whatever publisher you want in your native app.

Many eastern countries was traded away for Greece at Yalta :)

"Greece was to be portioned 90/10 to the West, while Romania was to be divided 90/10 in favour of the USSR"

You are lucky that your country have not endured Soviet occupation like other states in Eastern Europe. Event today the economical and social signs are clearly visible on those states.

This was magnitude worse that British/American influence.

Hi, while I got your point and mostly I agree with you, I just have a question.

Now when WebGL is widely adopted why you can create your games using that technology? Or even compile your C/C++ games with asm.js. I saw very nice demos in the past.

For simple 2D games (like most of the Flash games), I saw very nice Flash-friendly libraries like Phaser[0] (based on Pixi.js).

Re:Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide on Friday July 03, 2015 @09:30AM (#9825445)
Not really. In a real-case scenario React-extended components stays in "components" directory and is not to hard to be aware that is react-extended component.

But yes, I got your point.

Re:Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide on Friday July 03, 2015 @03:35AM (#9824083)
"Recommend using .jsx extension for React components, rather than .js"

I like .js over .jsx because I can require/import without explicit extension.

  import Foo from './Foo';
  vs 
  import Foo from './Foo.jsx';
This time has nothing to do with journalism, this is just a Norton campaign[0].

I think they present these scammers as "hackers" (or cyber criminals) only to scare some people, hoping they will buy (their) antivirus.

Because most of them are just crackers. They use exploits found by real hackers.
Good move for Apple and end users.

BTW, AdBlock is the most popular extension for Safari OSX.

I'm sure regular users care about their browsing experience and security, even if they don't know/want to express their feelings.
Re:Collateral Damage on Thursday June 11, 2015 @04:03AM (#9698321)
This is a great announcement for regular users.

And think about: On the iOS, Apple has the control of annoying/fake/phishing ads. On the web does not have. Even if ads will be shown on native apps, the experience will be more pleasant for users and will reduce abuses.

Your response delighted me. It was a good lesson you give him about accessibility and UI.
