I really like the way Norway has done it. A couple of years back they introduced a law that to make non-competes enforceable the company would have to pay you a full salary for the duration that you're blocked out of other work. Non-co

Well, duh, of course it is. Monitoring writes to memory would be pretty interesting

Yeah, that's good to know. Anyone have some insight on the implementation of the Google Home mute button?

I recently got a Google Home, and I've been thinking about how to potentially build a "is-the-microphone-actually-recording?" device. A basic one should be possible just by watching the power draw, but that would probably tri

Using the <iframe> "sandbox" property. At least stops things like alert('hey') and a full-page redirect

That's something I've been thinking about. Webworkers don't have direct access to the Canvas though, but it seems like you can work around that by passing image data. Killing infinite loops would be great

The dweets are stopped but not unloaded as you scroll away. You're entirely right though, needs some proper unloading. Edit: Link to the issue https://github.com/lionleaf/dwitter/issues/66

That is really cool! They are using a realistic 3D model of the persons face and eye-tracking in the VR headset to make a good guess at their facial expression, effectively reconstructing the face that's hidden by the headset. Not some

Makes me quite nervous too. So far each dweet is run in a sandboxed iframe loaded from a separate subdomain. There are definitely things you can do, and I'm aware of some annoying ones. I'll just manually delete them at this point

Oh, that's cool! I like the integration with twitter

Brilliant dweet! Part of the challenge is the manual minification. A larger textarea might be worth it especially as you can use linebreaks instead of ; for better readability

Sorry about your lost dweet :( Accidental infinite loops while editing can be a pain. A "reload" button isn't a bad idea, or a "recover dweet draft" functionality.

Oh, got the 500 error dump. It's the @ in your username, that'll teach me. For now avoid special characters in your username ;) Edit: In case you were stuck in a 500-loop I quickly changed your username to H2O, hopefully it works

Note that he in this pong example in particular every frame he gives the network and option to either go up or down, but no option for standing still. So it _has_ to be jittery. But as the other people have commented, adding a small penalty

This is a big deal. It basically adds the two factors that made GearVR better than cardboard to any VR ready Android phone: OS integration and better IMU sensors. It basically puts high quality (but not cutting edge) VR in everyones pocket,

At the moment the resolution simply isn't there for multiple virtual high resolution displays. I did some math a while back, and if I wanted the 1080 display I had at work at the same distance from my eyes in virtual space, I would nee

How are you subsidizing the heavy users when they don't cost more to the provider? Bandwidth is not a scarce resource.

Yeah, I'm really certain too. Some of them seem surprisingly private though, so no wonder people get scared. It's still a bad thing that friend banter from long ago suddenly shows up for all your new friends / colleagues / family to see...

I too thought I found private messages on my timeline. But it turns out they were indeed wallposts. It shows how much facebook has changed from a friends-only environment where you used the wall of people for semi-private chats, to a place
