Yeah, I was thinking of similar, would be good to see how it works out for you. There's obviously the command line tools for building, but I would miss the integration of Xcode as an IDE for iOS storyboards etc. Otherwise I've bee

Damn, my Macbook Air 2013 logic board just gave out, and was considering the upgrade to Macbook Pro 2017 as logic board is running at £450 replacement cost. After reading other's thoughts here, I think I have to avoid Macbook Pro for n

Video encoding would be stateless. There is no reliance on previous runs / state. Lambda is designed to be used for tasks like that, such as resizing images, parsing file etc.

Thanks, serverless looks interesting.

by doc_holliday 9y ago
Lambda has a long way to go, it's a promising product but if you want to develop anything for it, it's a bit painful and archaic. I've had issues with the temp memory. It is completely unreliable, you have to store files when

As much as I wish they did, I am not sure they will. A large portion of the UK has no idea how encryption helps them and believe that criminals and terrorists should "have nowehere to hide".

I try to get in 20-30 hours a week just now. (Have dropped most other activities because I am pushing to try launch in couple of months).

As far as I am aware no one has ever made a proper holographic game, as in a game with parallax on the display. Most true holographic displays are still under lab conditions with high power lasers, expensive optics and precision setup. Mayb

Awesome, I am thinking this could be used to create an animated hologram by quickly changing the polarization of the indcident light on the hologram. That would be very impressive to see.

The number one thing to remember is almost no one cares what tech you used. Just get it shipped. People have built million dollar business that had it's first iteration in MS Excel, if it is useful to someone and kind of serves the pur

"and includes unlimited cloud DVR storage with no fixed term contract" That is essentially VoD that they are offering as well as broadcast. "unlimited DVR" is PR speak for VoD in this case.

I know that the Snapchat platform is worth something, it has high engagement and adoption of 18-24 year old age segment, and that is worth a lot in terms of attention and advertising $s. However, this just feels completely out of proportion

Do you the offer service aswell for logo design being made in both iOS and Android icon styles? I would be tempted to hit it at this price, but want something I can get out into iOS and Android icon easily.

Also, reading back, this is a huge huge red flag: > "I dumped all the images into separate PNG files, and then used sips to convert the PNGs to somewhat-more-reasonably sized JPGs" You are adding further compression to the PNGs

by doc_holliday 10y ago
Some interesting analysis here, but I think you are analysing a video far too heavily in the spatial space i.e at frame level, this doesn't particularly give reliable results as compression and hence artifacts can vary according to fra

Yes, you are right in strict definition that they won't know specifically which app you used to visit a site. Yes you visited for example Hacker News (according to the IP log) but they wouldn't know which of the many Hacker News a

I would imaging they are simplifying slightly, by using the term app. They wouldn't know for completely offline apps. They probably mean for instance the Gov would know when you use Instagram, Facebook etc on your phone. As the iOS or

Slightly related question, does anyone know if these laws are backdated. I.e a year's worth of data retention is that available to the list of access from now? As in have ISP already been collecting? Has the data collection started? Is

Yes, the lack of outrage is worrying to say the least. What I find very disturbing is the response I've got from some people in regards to signing the petition against the legislation. "I don't want to sign that, I will proba

Having attempted to read the legislation passed, I actually have no idea in a lot of ways what this bill does and what this bill doesn't cover. (The main thread of what it covers seems terrible). I consider myself a quite intelligent a

From my interpretation they are logging the IP address and ports data transfered from. So theoretically if you transfer data from insert bad orgs IP address here from within another innocent website you'd be logged for that.

Having been using the Django REST Framework for my latest project, I can too confirm that the REST Framework is Django's killer app. The level of productivity in writing API backend you can get off it is insane.

I agree, finding a problem that is actually a problem (even if you aren't "passionate" about it) can work. But I think that is the main point, seeing something that is an oppurtunity. I was more reffering to people who "

Yes, I think startup for the sake of startup can lead to all manner of bad ideas. It's the reason why you have a lot of companies solving things that aren't actually problems. Are there many examples of startups for the sake of st
