Hi, yes, that stuff is from quite awhile ago, seeing that NaCl/PNaCl is quite dead, and WASM is now all the rage. I previously had actual vim running via NaCl, but the current (better IMO) version is just a fairly small JS clone (abo

I started building something I like to call "Linux on the Web" (LOTW) 6+ years ago in order to start working on this problem (it's live on the web right now). Just like with node.js applications, the smallest legal file size

The first time I was aware of Larry as a person was in early 2014 when I saw a replay of him on stage at the 2013 Google I/O event. I immediately got an impression of him as being a truly saintly figure, with his gentle, soft-spoken de

If we turn the web itself into an actual developer (and user) friendly platform, then we could probably start making better use of it as an application delivery vehicle. To enable this, I've been furiously working on this OS-in-a-bro

It makes heavy use of the HTML5 Filesytem for local storage, as well as Native Client for vim, python, and plugin codecs to enable highly configurable realtime a/v streaming via WebRTC peer connections. Windowed HTML5/JS applicati

My idea is to "self source" it. You will be able to edit the source code from within it, using a powerful editor like vim (emacs might be coming soon). The version that you are editing will be embedded inside of an iframe that is

I will do everything in my power to ensure that corporate-backed, ivory-tower, anti-philosophical, techno-enthusiast academics do not figure out some kind of formula to dominate the world of human affairs with their so-called "super in

Thank you for this, I will look into it :). I was actually going to tell these people to give me a github link or go away, haha. I don't need any kind of license page that looks like http://alchemy.cs.washington.edu/lic

I don't worry so much about encryption, since I am really not into keeping secrets, but I agree about the client-side part. ...and now a brief word from our corporate sponsors... Haha, not really :) I'm just trying to get the thin

"over-bearing central planning" Ever heard of the city of Naypyidaw? It took about a decade to build in the middle of bumfuck Burma. It's like 6 times the size of NYC, with 20 lane highways that are almost always empty. I gue

Hi, I love you. You are a normal person on HN trying to honestly make sense of the world of technology, and not taking any crap from all of the "Haha, U srsly don't know about xvzz and zxcz, LOL" types of people around here.

If the author is around, I've got a project working that I just posted to HN that I think can be pretty promising as an AI research platform. If you have Chrome, you can find the project at [ https://nacl-pg.appspot.com&#x2F

Emscripten running a crappy voice synthesizer might work, but nothing close to the silky smooth voices that chrome includes. It will really just add tons of bloat to the page. Voice synth is truly something that needs to be baked into t

I wonder how this works, though. I assume there is not any kind of automated system on the backend of HN trying to figure out what is "good content" and what isn't.

This is weird. I actually posted this like 20 hours ago, and it was a spectacular flop. Now it says 5 hours ago, and now I'm actually on the second page of Hacker effing News! (Hi Mom!) About the "Why chrome?" page. I needed
