Show HN: Pasteur, a Milkdrop Visualization Exporter

https://pasteur.cc/

Pasteur is a free, in-browser app for generating trippy videos from your music using the legendary Milkdrop visualizer (you may remember it from Winamp). I built the first version nearly 10 years ago, but it required a server running ffmpeg, which added complexity and I eventually shelved it after the MVP. Recently I discovered WebCodecs for in-browser video encoding and decided to rebuild....

Not that I know of. Why do you ask?

I rescued an HP-200A audio oscillator from the basement of a relative who’d passed away, thinking it looked interesting. Anyone know if it has any value? I’m guessing it’s nothing too special with a serial number of 30211.
Doesn’t Snow Leopard have printer sharing? i.e. you can skip the generate PDF and copy steps, assuming both machines are on your LAN
You may be interested to hear that community developers [1] have updated Myth II to be run on modern systems (even native Apple Silicon!) with a variety of enhancements to the game client itself and other goodies like hi-res map textures.

There's also a community metaserver to replace bungie.net. [2]

My specialties are front end development in React/Vue, full stack web development, and UI/UX design. I have a working style that embraces experimenting with new technology and adopting it when appropriate, a strong focus on user-centric design, getting the details right, and having fun while doing it.

I’m based in NYC and am flexible with working arrangements from remote to full time onsite (only remote at the moment). If you're interested in working together, let me know and I’d love to chat.

Re:Show HN: NestDrop – realtime VJ engine using Milkdrop on Wednesday February 26, 2020 @10:07AM (#22423553)
Cool stuff! I did some experiments with pre-rendering Milkdrop visuals for high-res uploading to YouTube which might be of interest to you. Not practical for realtime (I guess this is where OBS comes in), but pre-rendering is great for quality. Example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyhisYKU2Dg

Front end development in React/Vue, full stack development, and UI/UX design.

I’ve spent the last few months contracting with Lorem Technologies (asklorem.com) to build their marketplace startup in React, allowing them to keep momentum and not need to rush technical hiring. I’m based in NYC and am flexible with working arrangements from remote to full time onsite. If you're interested in working together, let me know and I’d love to chat.

This sounds way cool! Is there a physical HQ to work from in Seattle, or do Seattle employees all work from home/find their own workspaces?

So excited to see this here! I'm a long time Glowforge admirer. Just dropped you a line (same username as HN).

Has anyone figured out how to stop Google's autoupdate process (ksfetch) from tripping LS nonstop? It spawns multiple new temporary processes when checking for updates, and LS requires a path to a specific process file to block it. This has made LS unusable for me since uninstalling all Google products isn't an option for me.

Currently requires a physical keyboard to operate. Keyboard commands listed at https://github.com/markneub/redditq#navigation

redditq is an image browser for reddit. It features a minimal user interface and is designed to be controlled via keyboard shortcuts. This project was inspired by redditp[1], but I wanted to add support for image galleries and Flickr photo pages and experiment with a minimal UI. From a technical standpoint, I wanted practice using CommonJS modules for structuring my JavaScript, as well as using webpack for bundling static assets (including JS modules).

Cool and works well -- one comment: while the spacebar functions properly as play/pause, in the legend at the bottom left it's perpetually showing the "pause" icon where I'd expect it to update based on whether you're playing or paused.

This CAPTCHA is actually designed to ensure that the only entity that can decipher it is Satan himself.

Wow.

Re:Microsoft made their own IE6-countdown site. on Friday March 04, 2011 @12:34PM (#2288905)
Hopefully the notion of developing for IE6 compatibility will soon be as laughable as that of designing for Netscape compatibility.

So what do you do when you want to make a change that isn't a logical evolution of your existing codebase? Say, for example, you have an ecommerce site, and you're switching payment processors to use one with an entirely different API. Surely you can't just push a change like this straight to your production server.
Here's an article with a few examples of deferred in action. Pretty cool.
