Yeah, I was thinking of similar, would be good to see how it works out for you. There's obviously the command line tools for building, but I would miss the integration of Xcode as …

Damn, my Macbook Air 2013 logic board just gave out, and was considering the upgrade to Macbook Pro 2017 as logic board is running at £450 replacement cost. After reading other's t…

Video encoding would be stateless. There is no reliance on previous runs / state. Lambda is designed to be used for tasks like that, such as resizing images, parsing file etc.

Thanks, serverless looks interesting.

Lambda has a long way to go, it's a promising product but if you want to develop anything for it, it's a bit painful and archaic. I've had issues with the temp memory. It is comple…

As much as I wish they did, I am not sure they will. A large portion of the UK has no idea how encryption helps them and believe that criminals and terrorists should "have nowehere…

Still have a main job 40 hours a week. (But yes working on making it main!)

I try to get in 20-30 hours a week just now. (Have dropped most other activities because I am pushing to try launch in couple of months).

How is that in anyway comparable to the suffering of an actual animal?

As far as I am aware no one has ever made a proper holographic game, as in a game with parallax on the display. Most true holographic displays are still under lab conditions with h…

Awesome, I am thinking this could be used to create an animated hologram by quickly changing the polarization of the indcident light on the hologram. That would be very impressive …

The number one thing to remember is almost no one cares what tech you used. Just get it shipped. People have built million dollar business that had it's first iteration in MS Excel…

"On the Shortness of Life" - Seneca. More an essay, but profoundly impactful.

"and includes unlimited cloud DVR storage with no fixed term contract" That is essentially VoD that they are offering as well as broadcast. "unlimited DVR" is PR speak for VoD in t…

I know that the Snapchat platform is worth something, it has high engagement and adoption of 18-24 year old age segment, and that is worth a lot in terms of attention and advertisi…

Do you the offer service aswell for logo design being made in both iOS and Android icon styles? I would be tempted to hit it at this price, but want something I can get out into iO…

Also, reading back, this is a huge huge red flag: > "I dumped all the images into separate PNG files, and then used sips to convert the PNGs to somewhat-more-reasonably sized JPGs"…

Some interesting analysis here, but I think you are analysing a video far too heavily in the spatial space i.e at frame level, this doesn't particularly give reliable results as co…

Yes, you are right in strict definition that they won't know specifically which app you used to visit a site. Yes you visited for example Hacker News (according to the IP log) but …

Do we know why this was? That he changed stance?

I would imaging they are simplifying slightly, by using the term app. They wouldn't know for completely offline apps. They probably mean for instance the Gov would know when you us…

Slightly related question, does anyone know if these laws are backdated. I.e a year's worth of data retention is that available to the list of access from now? As in have ISP alrea…

Yes, the lack of outrage is worrying to say the least. What I find very disturbing is the response I've got from some people in regards to signing the petition against the legislat…
