I did something similar for cheap (insecure) desktop streaming a few years ago. Roughly, use scrot (or similar screen capturing command line tool) to take a screenshot of the desktop and then encode it into a gif frame. Repeat once per seco

Ironically, we actually have a great source of training data available that people can contribute with minimal effort - the Facebook graph API! All we need is someone to auth the app allowing the "view photos" and "view friends photos" perm

So to boil down your comments into easy points: 1. kill the first-load chrome download bar (I don't want it until I know I like the service) or make it non-blocking 2. use something like pushState (or location hash) to have all URLs a

For the rare (on HN, it seems) PHP user, I work on the latest iteration of PHamlP (stripped down to just SASS): https://github.com/richthegeek/phpsass It's feature-complete up to 3.2, although there are a few bugs that still need to be ir

If they act in a similar way to variables in SASS, then they can be reassigned without issue. They are not constant, although they may be treated as such. Of course, the CSSWG will no doubt create a solution that is both absurd in it's comp

For a while, Google was far from transparent about potential costs and some interpretations were indicating that the cost would be enough to destroy certain services. Whilst Google eventually opened up, despite the prices being reasonable,

Compare it with a micro-cached Varnish or nginx .. caching is outside of the "speed" parameters. Of course, you could take a look memcached if you want :) I can't find the reference I remember but it fits roughly with the link posted (the s

Python & Ruby are both slower interpreted languages than PHP, for all their lovely syntax. The JVM is slower to develop for, and when probably 50% of projects on the web are stuff that's built in less than 2 months, using the JVM adds t

Take a look at last.fm and their API - they have a pretty good relevant artist graph. I made something to show it off a year or so ago: http://richardlyon.co.uk/coffee/lastfm.php?artist=mogwai (switch from 3d to 2d if it's being a pain, c
