This is neat, but using the built-in or any USB-based webcam is a real limitation to the quality of the captured images. Unless I'm mistaken, there's not a way to hook up a "real" camera to the webRTC interface. (I would

This is a mostly useless article. Every computer with USB ports has this problem. If you want to use it as, you know, a computer, you're probably gonna need to plug some stuff into it at one time. You could make the argument that now t

It's a little buried on the ai2html site, but there is a whole host of things listed here: https://delicious.com/archietse/ai2html It's a pretty impressive tool, and clearly the NYT uses the hell out of it.

Is this just the HN effect where it seems like everyone's really amazing all the time except me, or will the rest of the stack truly be full of MIT and Harvard grads with three years at Google and numerous international awards for bui

Having grown up in Milwaukee (the city proper) and now living in Minneapolis (the city proper), I couldn't disagree more. Milwaukee may be very racially segregated, and Minneapolis may have a high achievement gap, but neither city is a

Not mentioned in the wikipedia article: There are no trash cans in the lunchroom because Renzo Piano apparently hates them. Instead, weird conveyer belt tray thing.

It's always helpful to see summaries of other people's experiences with platforms. Ember is going through a big growing period right now and feels like a moving target, but it has a strong direction.

What's sad is that you could do this with iSync and any phone with bluetooth back in 2003. The feature disappeared along with iSync.

This is a great idea, and I say this as the webmaster of many sites that are not secure. I should be forced to get my but in gear and fix that.

But...how much do those things matter in a modern world? I think they're going to start mattering a lot more in the future. The drought in the west is likely to continue to get worse. Water isn't exactly abundant in many c

This is a good writeup. We ran into some of the same issues on the smaller site I work on, compounded by use of pushState. We use require.js and a very simple client side router to determine what packages to load, and depend on require.js t

This is nice, but it does not put a valid img tag in the document source without javascript execution. That might be fine for things that don't face the public internet, but if you do any type of public publishing, you should care abou

What is with the capitalization on the headline on Recode? I read it and thought, who is "Will Remain"? It should be: Larry Ellison will step down as CEO of Oracle, will remain as CTO Headline capitalization is pretty easy: Capita

No. You can put anything you want in text or graphics on the screen. You need to send people to a secure amazon.com login page and pass an OAuth token.

This is kind of neat, but it negates one of the great benefits of skating (or walking, or running, or bicycling) which is exercise.

No. But if you were Gigantic Auto Manufacturer, you'd probably have your lawyers talk to Tesla's lawyers and get something in writing first. This is merely stating that Tesla is open to such things, not a legal guarantee.

I wonder what car it is based on, if any. Is it electric or gasoline powered? The seats look like they're from a Fiat.

Ok, I see your point. But, have Yahoo or Bing or DuckDuckGo made the transition to be able to crawl the web with a full JS & DOM rendering engine? I doubt it. By eschewing that compatibility we're setting a very high bar for what a

We're still using hypertext transfer protocol, right? You need to send hypertext down the wire. We shouldn't let one company, google, dictate how the web works, simply because of their proprietary technological innovation.

SVG is just xml. You can use any xml generation library to make them, which many languages have. Or not use any at all and just echo/print the xml out. It seems like extreme overkill to fire up phantom js to generate some xml. The thin
