I guess Sony makes a lot of other hardware products already, maybe that experience gives them an edge over Microsoft.

blinky1456 | 6 years ago | on: Wavve: making $76k a month turning podcasts into videos

I wonder if it is possible to make a simple version to run entirely in the frontend, for short clips?

You can capture video and download it from canvas: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/10/capture-st...

And it looks possible to add separate audio to it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39302814/mediastream-cap....

You could also recreate the waveforms and add to the canvas: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_A...,

Not widely supported, but you could try to add speech recognition too https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_...

That seems a bit much. Not great when you have to go through the process everytime you update your site. Or more likely, you will forget you implemented this & also how you did it in the first place..

blinky1456 | 6 years ago | on: A practical guide to CSS transitions and animations

You mean the element is moved offscreen, and has display: none; applied? And now you want to move it onscreen.

Do it entirely css. if you use a have a keyframe animation applied and remove display:none on clicking. The animation will fire immediately. Unlike trying to transition it without using keyframes.

blinky1456 | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: is the California state park website leading to malware?

I have noticed these malicious chrome install rediects have odd behaviour, sometimes they trigger sometimes they don't.

The often only trigger once, when you visit it. And that's it.

I think it is to make it harder for people to report it, as it does not always pop up/redirect. 'maybe it is just your machine, seems ok on my end'

I disagree, It is a free image hosting platform for sharing images. There is nothing wrong with linking to it.

If you upload or want to share what is on the platform, they would prefer if you link it that way, as is their right.

It is a business after all. And If people want to hotlink directly to an image they should pay up and host it themselves.

Offtopic, but...is it just me or is there a bug on the 'hide related artices' button? Pressing space while focused on it triggers the action twice. So it just opens/closes.

blinky1456 | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: If HN didn't exist, which other community would you default to?

I rarely visit anymore since the partial redesign. For one thing the page loads are very long, with an annoying splash page.

Two, the endless scroll, but they have your profile button on the footer and other essential links? How has that not been brought up?

The site overall has annoying and bad ux.

Makes me wonder if the site has essentially been abandoned by the owner. At the least it is neglected.

blinky1456 | 7 years ago | on: Let's Talk About Capacitor Failure

'Industrial espionage was implicated in the capacitor plague, in connection with the theft of an electrolyte formula. A materials scientist working for Rubycon in Japan left the company, taking the secret water-based electrolyte formula for Rubycon's ZA and ZL series capacitors[citation needed], and began working for a Chinese company. The scientist then developed a copy of this electrolyte[citation needed]. Then, some staff members who defected from the Chinese company copied an incomplete version of the formula[citation needed] and began to market it to many of the aluminium electrolytic manufacturers in Taiwan, undercutting the prices of the Japanese manufacturers.[1][42] This incomplete electrolyte lacked important proprietary ingredients which were essential to the long-term stability of the capacitors[4][23] and was unstable when packaged in a finished aluminum capacitor. This faulty electrolyte allowed the unimpeded formation of hydroxide and produced hydrogen gas.[36]'

Huh, I did not know this was the reason behind it.

blinky1456 | 7 years ago | on: O.MG Cable: Malicious USB Cable with WiFi

I think it is just a USB keyboard like the rubber ducky.

The cool thing is how small it is, and it having wifi.

I have seen this guy showing some of his stuff off before on hak5's youtube.

Would be interesting to see if it could be put into a mouse USB, with passthrough so the user can use the mouse as normal. But I guess you could just stick it inside the mouse casing...as long as somebody doesn't inspect the insides of the mouse.

blinky1456 | 7 years ago | on: NetBeans 10.0

Any PHP devs here? what IDEs are you using currently. Is netbeans considered crummy for modern development?

People keep making offhand comments about it lately, and i wondered if there is a much better(and free) alternative I am overlooking.
