This is friggin cool. Definitely gonna check this out. By the way, I think there's a typo on the About page. Below the video, the game is called "Reset Hard". Guessing that's an earlier name?

Yeah, recent name change, still trying to track down all of the old references. :)

There is one reference in your vcard when we subscribe the mailing list.

There there is one on your patreon page. :)

working on my crippling depression / ADHD, unemployed (i don't want to work anymore in anything) 6 months , 0 productivity. learned a lot of category theory, functional programming and c++ tho.

I hope things get better for you. The hardest part is taking that first step. I've been there and I know how hard it is to even get out of bed. It's cheesy, but what really helped me was listening to motivational tapes like Les Brown/Jim Rohn/Eric Thomas. I'd just go for a walk while listening to them and over time it got a little bit easier.

Wish us luck.

I'm writing a book that teaches people coding using JavaScript, the book that takes you from 0 (no coding background) to getting a job as a JS engineer. 2 years I ago, I had a hypothesis to see if anybody could learn coding if they tried. To test that, I reached out to random people with no coding background, most of them from underprivileged backgrounds. I figured they have fewer opportunities and are more likely to…

This is amazing and inspiring! I would love to follow this and help in some way if I can. I would donate money to this cause. Please get in touch with me. My email is on my HN profile.

Ten Ask HN posts in the last four days? Is there not a limit on this sort of thing?

If you see something like this that concerns you, rather than create a new account to post, just email the mods using the Contact link in the footer.

Combining open-source photogrammetry software into a system that scales reasonably to >100k images (with accelerometer/gyroscope data from the video camera) and >1G vertices in a single, consistent, high-quality mesh. It later computes a texture map based on the images, not smoothing them, but just minimizing seams and using some seam carving and color interpolation to make most seams invisible. I want VR reconstruct…

I was wondering why you choose to go with video data rather than photos. From what I know, for a given feature point, you would rather have pictures with really different point of views. It seems to me video would generate a lot of redundant data, massively increasing processing times for very little gain.

What's your experience on this?

I've been working on a project called "HackTheCompany" ( http://hackthe.company/ ) which lists historical hacks that have occurred, with a brief description. It then offers a live CTF for every single historical hack where you can do the same thing the attackers did. Walkthroughs are offered for each as well, if you have no experience. It's part of a larger project I'm working on, but even standalone I think it's pre…

That’s amazing! Can I subscribe somewhere to stay informed on the project?

I work in this space. Curious of you to elaborate!

I'm adding the hotel booking engine to the website. The first hurdle I came across was how to offer fast suggestions to the user when typing a location / hotel name. That's when I found Azure Search ( which is extremely easy to set up), and now I just have to complete the whole process. This whole thing is extremely gratifying because I'm learning new stuff pretty much everyday.

Recently I read a similar example on CS50 course, to do fast search. It is simply a json request everytime a keyboard event is activated. For storage, either store it in memory for instant lookup table or use redis.
