Shadertoy might fit that category? Runs in the browser, are all fragment shaders and without a size limit afaik, but they tend to be small-ish https://www.shadertoy.com/

Fun to see this on HN! :D Apologies for the quick reboot of the servers. I learned from last time this happened and resized the digitalocean droplet.

I really like the way Norway has done it. A couple of years back they introduced a law that to make non-competes enforceable the company would have to pay you a full salary for the…

Well, duh, of course it is. Monitoring writes to memory would be pretty interesting

Yeah, that's good to know. Anyone have some insight on the implementation of the Google Home mute button?

I recently got a Google Home, and I've been thinking about how to potentially build a "is-the-microphone-actually-recording?" device. A basic one should be possible just by watchin…

Using the "sandbox" property. At least stops things like alert('hey') and a full-page redirect

That's something I've been thinking about. Webworkers don't have direct access to the Canvas though, but it seems like you can work around that by passing image data. Killing infin…

The dweets are stopped but not unloaded as you scroll away. You're entirely right though, needs some proper unloading. Edit: Link to the issue https://github.com/lionleaf/dwitter/i…

That is really cool! They are using a realistic 3D model of the persons face and eye-tracking in the VR headset to make a good guess at their facial expression, effectively reconst…

Changed to sfz :)

Makes me quite nervous too. So far each dweet is run in a sandboxed iframe loaded from a separate subdomain. There are definitely things you can do, and I'm aware of some annoying …

Oh, that's cool! I like the integration with twitter

Brilliant dweet! Part of the challenge is the manual minification. A larger textarea might be worth it especially as you can use linebreaks instead of ; for better readability

Sorry about your lost dweet :( Accidental infinite loops while editing can be a pain. A "reload" button isn't a bad idea, or a "recover dweet draft" functionality.

Oh, got the 500 error dump. It's the @ in your username, that'll teach me. For now avoid special characters in your username ;) Edit: In case you were stuck in a 500-loop I quickly…

Didn't mean to post with that account. Oh well.

"Supporting filesystems in persistent memory" (2014) https://lwn.net/Articles/610174/

Note that he in this pong example in particular every frame he gives the network and option to either go up or down, but no option for standing still. So it _has_ to be jittery. Bu…

This is a big deal. It basically adds the two factors that made GearVR better than cardboard to any VR ready Android phone: OS integration and better IMU sensors. It basically puts…

At the moment the resolution simply isn't there for multiple virtual high resolution displays. I did some math a while back, and if I wanted the 1080 display I had at work at the s…

Here a link to the sketch if anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcU4t6zRAKg

How are you subsidizing the heavy users when they don't cost more to the provider? Bandwidth is not a scarce resource.
