On a poker game that would help.

AppCache?
They raised 450 BTC within a day, seems they have a following. Hopefully one of them will get this up and running soon.

Doubt it. It's pretty common to ask "testimonials" from people with authority for publicity etc.
Re:Horizon – Record horizontally. Always on Monday July 14, 2014 @08:18AM (#8030519)
Installing such app almost certainly implies that the user is aware of the problem of vertical videos. So being aware of it, they will simply rotate the device when recording (since it provides better quality/resolution).

It seems to me that it would be helpful if such idea is applied on the system level without the need for an app.

I'm on the opposite side, several times I tried apps that give only 3-4 frames per exercise and sometimes (if they are not shoot with an appropriate angle) they are not enough to make clear what you have to do.

I don't think they are unfinished, just a new art direction. But it seems to have less neutral style that before and that will reduce adaptability to its surroundings.

Yeap, both setTimeout and setInterval are being sacrificed for performance. Alternatively you could use WebWorkers to offload the timers for precision.

Looks like a common typo to me.

It's not only a matter of compatibility but a multitude of security issues as well.

A Schrodinger's bug
Seems viable, and if you had previous "relationship"/transaction with this user you can display name etc.
I didn't see any suggestion from the author, did I miss it?
Re:Angular 2.0 on Tuesday March 18, 2014 @12:48PM (#7423057)
Micro in the code you write, not the code that's loaded, so it doesn't seem practical to me.

Nothing mind blowing, same vulnerability really, there are many ways to extend the core issue.
Re:Sass 3.3 is released on Saturday March 08, 2014 @11:58AM (#7365645)
That adds a CSS import rule, doesn't embed the content.
Re:Sass 3.3 is released on Saturday March 08, 2014 @11:27AM (#7365568)
Still can't import pure CSS files without having to rename them to .scss. It's been in talks for over two years now, very disappointing.
Re:Flexcoin is shutting down on Tuesday March 04, 2014 @05:33AM (#7339430)
It's getting ridiculous... Startups should value security way more, especially financial ones.
The other way around.

Actually Spotify is mostly Sweden-based but they seem to be ramping up on NY as well.

Your comment seems more appropriate for YouTube than HN.

Anyway, I guess the point is that Libertarianism has some different views but the main takeaway is about having more choices and a more lightweight state.

Re:Npm Raises $2.6M Seed Round on Tuesday February 11, 2014 @12:50PM (#7218971)
Quite true. Even though I didn't donate, I wonder why they went for crowdfunding while they were going raising VC funding. I would expect (partial) refunds.
Re:Perspective Mockups using CSS3 3D Transforms on Tuesday January 07, 2014 @12:40PM (#7018545)
Pretty cool, animating within the screens could make it really come alive.

P.S: 2/4 comments are about the thecodeplayer site and not the real content of this submission. I've seen it happen on other posts. I get that most of us here are developer but seriously... Just focus for a second on what matters.

Ask HN: How hardware engineers see the web dev evolution and trends

In the past decade there were a lot of changes around web development (node.js, HTML5). Adopting methodologies and architectures from other related fields, making progress on having an efficient and "automated" development process.<p>I wonder how hardware engineers see these changes and if there are similarities or exchanges of knowledge or habits.<p>Hardware engineers in specific,...
