I've had this dream for a long time, too. A while ago I built a little text-based MUD kind of thing for this: http://deepship.com/ where you can have multiple people all controlling a ship in a little universe. There&#

Does anyone have experience with using this versus THREE.js?

I don't think that's true. I've hit the front page a couple times and actually got very little traffic, and definitely nothing that my $5 vps with no caching couldn't handle.

I built ShowingHN. It doesn't do voting since that would require polling for updated tallies all the time, and because most good Show HNs don't typically get that many points. Perhaps a dedicated section on HN would fix that. If t

Voice to text is a multi-million if not billion dollar endeavor. I simply implemented the Web Speech API, which ostensibly uses Google (and possibly Apple's) voice recognition system. I came up with the text comprehension bit, which is

Since the Wit.ai guys gave a shout out on my thread earlier today, I thought I'd return the favor and show off my own implementation of a voice>>text>>comprehension system that I used to make my personal site voice interact

That's not the intended behavior. I developed it on Chrome for Mac, so it should just listen continuously. If you have a second, could you let me know what OS and browser versions you're on? Also, I agree that it could be a cool s

I hadn't seen this yet. It looks really cool and I'll have to devote some time to learning what they're doing.

Sorry about that! It uses the nascent Web Speech API which seems to rely on external audio processing (i.e. how Siri works). Google has such capabilities so that's why it currently works with Chrome (although I think it works in Safari

Glad you liked it. It uses Google's voice recognition servers, so Android's voice recognition may prove better for you than Siri. It currently has 64 predefined answers with multiple triggers linked to each one.

This was made using the Web Speech API and a matching system I came up with that uses Levenshtein distances and tokenized string matching. I wrote up some demo code here: https://github.com/benwasser/WebSpeechAPI

"[torrenting] isn’t necessarily safe unless you’re using a virtual private network to mask your whereabouts." I find it really frustrating that TIME can publish such incorrect information that could directly lead to the detriment

I think there's a great opportunity for someone to release a simple, programmable Gameboy-esque device that runs Javascript or something similarly noob-friendly to give people (and kids) a less friction-filled path to learning programm

This is the sort of thing I'm personally very interested in, and I have some pretty novel ideas for how I'd approach it. That said, I wouldn't participate in this because it clearly devalues the industry. You should really re

It's kind of interesting how HN admins removed a string of posts yesterday relating to the Node.js sexism issue without any explanation, and yet this remains. It's also a bit sad that a post like this gets way more attention than

I'm afraid some will look at this as an issue of the fickle HN crowd never being satisfied, but it really is more about exercising rationality. Firstly, nobody really had to publicize this ridiculously miniscule episode, as it was sort

It doesn't seem like it has anything to do with server-side coding, so unless I'm incorrect, it's yet another entry into the likes of JSFiddle, CodePen, JSBin, CSSDeck, Dabblet, Tinkerbin, Liveweave, etc.

This is actually really awesome from a research perspective. I imagine you could do things like analyze word pools, website layouts, colors, and other latent link data and correlate that with success/failure rates on HN. If I had more

Just to provide a second point of reference, I'm a relatively recent dev hire at Likeable Local and it's been a really good choice for me. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has, as well, so feel free to reach out to me

Resubmitted since it's apparently one of my more popular projects and I just rewrote part of it to make it much faster.

I'm wondering if you would say the same about Bradley Manning were he to commit suicide. I definitely see the point you're making, and I've made it in the past myself with similar issues, but when your world has crumpled down

Since so many people here are saying Heroku, Linode, or AWS, I'm wondering if someone could explain the value proposition of these over a cheap VPS for most small to medium deployments. I can get a 4GB ram VPS for $10/m, which see

I am not too clued into the personalities involved, but in the scheme of things, being snarky or critical seems a lot less offensive than calling people out by name in a semi-permanent and searchable medium to effectively say they're a

I really doubt that, as it doesn't seem like you can put in multiple email addresses when you are first signing up for Facebook ( http://puu.sh/2IP5J.png ). I also don't imagine Facebook continues to email the unverified email addresses aft
