I remember CyberArmy, I think maybe that was where to find war games before dievo? I don't remember the Zebulon name though.

I guess I have a deeper point to make, which is.. if you're going to compare golang web libraries it's the details that are going to end up making your decision. Superficial comparisons will be misleading. Implement auth, CSRF,

Nice demo. A few things you could add to make this more realistic to something that gets shipped: -CORS support. Deploy this to a non-local domain and try to reach it from a web browser and it will fail. I like https://github.

Stenography is common, but usually it's just modifying the last bits of an image or hiding the extra payload after the image data. This is "drawing" within the audio spectrum, making the image out of audio that will be audib

If it's audio rate how is it different than a squarewave? Edit: looked closer at the post, the DC offset lasts for over 100ms per cycle.. yeah that's a problem

This is all I want, too. But if you go the DIY route, don't you end up chasing the long tail of browser and device compatibility issues and bugs? I typically solve my own issues but this one just seems like a huge and uneven surface

I was researching drag and drop in JS recently, and what I found seemed pretty disappointing. Wondering if anyone can reinforce my opinion or counter it. Drag and drop still seems like a mess. Browser support and touch support varies so y

I never said there had to be swaths of illegal content. In other words you are asserting there was absolutely no illegal content on parler that would require them to moderate their content when asked. If that's the stand you want to t

Illegal. Some of the content on Parler was illegal. Not extralegal. Illegal. And they refused to moderate it when asked. Some if it has the risk of ending up judged treasonous as well, and that's all that matters to a risk averse co

All the claims about the big tech censoring Parler got it wrong. It's not about censure. It's about legality, and Parler fucked themselves. Apple told Parler to moderate their extremist content, and Parler refused. At that point

I'm working in the same space, but it's a sequencer so only notes entered into the DAW are shared amongst participants, and the playhead isn't synced. Still very early days but you can try it out at https://sequenc

I use Preact. I like it a lot. Started with pure ES6, Preact, and htm templates - no transpilation step! As the project got bigger I migrated to Typescript and start using it's built-in JSX compiler. Was a pretty easy step. My onl

I worked at a FAANG-level startup for a number of years and am now doing my own thing, with hopes of building a stable part-time business. This appeals to me. In any company, employee trust is a huge benefit when it works and a huge concer

Just to chime in, I bought a CNC and 2 3D printers from Kickstarter over the years. One was junk, one was a scam, and the other ran out of funds before they shipped a unit. The first CNC (MyDIYCNC) was 6 months late and the quality was hor

Nice job! Early in the pandemic me and some buds spent a few nights on voice chat and snes.party, it helped us reconnect and reduce our isolation.

Nah. I mean, part of it is that I don't work at a big company that requires I transpile 100k LOC every time I want to see my work on screen any more while attending to 100 slack channels at the same time, but I'm typically running

What I find a bit wild is that the author was using a laptop newer than my late 2013 MacBook Pro, and said everything was sluggish. My maxed 2013 pro is still super fast, but it seems like all the USB-C MacBooks that came afterwards sacrif

Both of your examples have recourse, and do not brick expensive hardware. The Oculus/FB example is much worse.

You're going to want to run analytics, and to do that you need comparable data. Legacy data was a huge problem for the e-commerce giant I used to work at, even in The SQL database with a schema. NoSQL would be a silly non starter for
