Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a sailor. It's more a fear of change — thinking you'll always enjoy painting, and then realizing there might be a day when the passion is gon…

I 100% agree that if TJ wants to retire from programming, he should. Pressuring him to do something he doesn't want to do is wrong. My comment more of a personal comment. Imagine y…

Oh hey you're UW SE2011! I'm UW SE2021 o/ Small world

:( The idea of moving on from programming makes me sad. I suppose for some people it's a job, but to me giving up programming would be like giving up on writing poetry or playing m…

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad he's still posting. Back in university I looked up to Feross, TJ and Matt Deslauriers. Fond memories of hacking together a Node.js project at a hackath…

I've read a few threads complaining about Stripe recently [0][1]. One common sentiment is not relying on a single payment processor: > Not defending Stripe here, but DO NOT HAVE A …

Yeah we didn't anticipate somebody sharing their room in the comments — we're trying our best to moderate that room. Fingers crossed the board they went on was the papercraft & ori…

Thanks! > I'm wondering what the killer app is? In the most optimistic way possible We're in the process of figuring it out, but we believe the interactive aspect is super powerful…

Sent an email :) We can help with an MVP

Hey hugs, just want to say Selenium is awesome. Super cool having the creator of the testing framework we used during university commenting on our post. Would love to learn more ab…

Thanks for pointing that out, we'll dig deeper. Also thanks for showing me glicol, I love dabbling with audio visualizers and often play around with the web audio API. Really cool …

Thanks for letting us know, what version of Firefox are you on? Here's the Github repo by the way: https://github.com/hyperbeam/threejs-example

Do you have a specific hotkey in mind? Curious if there's a hotkey we could choose which is intuitive, so we don't need to add more text in the 3D space.

If HN had a metaverse, what would people want it to be like?

Thanks!

We might open-source something in the future. Honestly we haven't open-sourced Hyperbeam because the code is a bit messy. In the mean time you can check out https://github.com/cryb…

Yep. We're running Chromium in the cloud and streaming it back as a video. When you visit https://threejs-example.hyperbeam.com , it will create a "room" and append the room ID to …
