Re: Show HN: Watch People Code
#43OT slightly: Why do some YouTube embeds (including the one on this site) not contain a full screen button? It drives me nuts. Especially here as to actually see what's happening full screen is essential. The only way to get full screen is to click the YouTube button to actually go to YouTube and full screen it from there.
Not sure about this particular case, but this will happen if you're using the HTML5 version of Youtube and the video is inside an iframe that doesn't have the allowfullscreen attribute.
However in this case, the fullscreen button appeared for me after I clicked play.

What stream were/are you watching? Also, what is your OS/browser? I checked "Instruction Set Development - Part 5" and there is full screen button(Mac OS X, chrome/firefox).
Just clicked: "Building a Search Engine -- Season 2 episode 1" and no full screen option. I'm on Safari on OS X 10.10.3

#45Side question: I'd like to stream some audio content to a few 1000 people (24/7) and wondered if anyone knew (back of the envelope) what the cost model for this would look like? Assuming it's just bandwidth unless I go p2p... Just trying to understand the current lay of the land as I remember the youtube guys were paying $$$/mo for bandwidth when they first started. Thanks.

#46The feedback on these streams makes this a really incredible idea. I just watched one where users were constantly noticing syntax errors, etc. and alerting the dev in real time of them. A few people on these streams are learning languages (like Lua) for the first time and powering through these projects with aid from viewers/commenters. Love it.

#47Along these lines, I recently started watching (and enjoying!) Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero , "an ongoing project to create a complete, professional-quality game accompanied by videos that explain every single line of its source code." https://handmadehero.org/
Some people should really learn the meaning of 'hero'.

#48Love it. I hope this gets popular.
And sort of sad because people seem to be able to do more then 10 minutes at a time without alt-tabbing to HN or lolcats for pointless distraction.
Re: Show HN: Watch People Code
#49I put up a stream for a few hours. It went well! I didn't think anyone would enjoy it but it looks like I'm expected to do it more now :)

#50I offer these quotations from well known figures as a mental antidote to the 'churn things out fast' / 'learn all the editor shortcuts' mentality being promoted throughout some of the comments.
The real hero of programming is the one who writes negative code. - Doug McIlroy
You're not to come up with a simple design through any kind of coding techniques or any kind of programming language concepts. Simplicity has to be achieved above the code level before you get to the point which you worry about how you actually implement this thing in code. - Leslie Lamport
Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you've finished using them. - Doug McIlroy
