DonaldDerek··on Ask HN: Is WhatsApp Down?

DonaldDerek··on Vulnerability in the Mac Zoom client allows malicious websites to enable camera
Ok here's the thing. Open Google Hangouts, or any other website that asks for permission to use your webcam, then close the tab. Go to terminal check if VDCAssistant is running using `lsof | grep -i VDC` it returns that it is running. I've had this issue since 2015 so I'm glad someone is talking about this now.. Is it just me?
DonaldDerek··on Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles
... well i hope this'll ripple to other domains. The renaissance of modular synthesizers is highly noticeable in today's music making, and especially live performances, well a car is very similar to a sonic vehicle in that sense.

DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
We replaced Twitter oAuth with a simple Tweet intent! https://github.com/MMODM/mmodm
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Read/Write access to be able to tweet on your behalf with your access token. We're changing that to a Twitter button as we speak. If you still feel like giving mmodm a shot, you can Tweet the sequence from your own account without the need of oauth! Make sure to follow this pattern '@playmmodm [o--o--x-x-x-xzzs] #MMODM'
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Thank you! I think we did, I'd have to check the database logs! If you click on the share link, you can save the cool drum beat you made!

We used Node.js, Express, socket.io, cluster, redis and MongoDB! Please fork us! https://github.com/MMODM/mmodm

if you mention @playmmodm in your tweet like so'@playmmodm [o---o---oxx-x-x-z-z-z] #MMODM' you wont spam your friends because they're not following @playmmodm! Hope that helps a bit while we take all the good feedback we got here and fine-tune those details. Thanks.
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
try tweeting the following '@playmmodm [o---o---o---oxx-xx-x-xx-xxxz--z--zzzz] #MMODM' and watch what happens on mmodm.co
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
MMODM's Twitter account (@playmmodm). I understand hackers fears as I'm one of them. That's why the better way to play the drum machine is by tweeting to it like so (from Twitter) ' @playmmodm [o---o---o---oxx-xx-x-xx-xxxz--z--zzzz] #MMODM'
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
haha!
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Unfortunately, to be able to Tweet on your behalf, we need to request for the Read/Write permissions. I understand your fear, you can bypass that thing by going to your Twitter and tweeting to the Drum Machine like so: @playmmodm [o---o---o---ozz-z-z-zz] #MMMODM
DonaldDerek··on Plague
Plague Inc. of real data! Cool!
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Appreciate your feedback! Putting '-' in your sequence will have add a 1 unit gap between your beat! We're changing the letters order to match qwerty soon!
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Agreed, thank you, we're thinking of changing that soon to allow you to practice before tweeting! you can still hear each beat if you type its letter (outside the input text field:p)
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Please, go ahead! Let there be sound!
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Good point, it's text based because I miss playing around with text-based interfaces. Other than to please the keyboard junky in me, using Twitter stream API as a part of your system has so many cool benefits...
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
every letter corresponds to a beat! Dashes are spaces between beats! Tweet from either the web-app or from Twitter like so '[dd--dd--ddo---o---o---o] #MMODM'
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Thank you! You can create your own room and jam with friends!
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Web Audio API issues with your Firefox I guess! Thanks for reporting, we'll look more into that!
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
Good idea! Thanks, it'll feel more intuitive.
DonaldDerek··on Massively Multiplayer Online Drum Machine
woot! No way! You can tweet like so '[deeeedghgo---o---o--] #MMODM' from your Twitter account and still be able to play it!

DonaldDerek··on Ask HN: What's a reasonable salary at a Berlin startup?
5 7.5 10 K Euros
DonaldDerek··on Beg HN: Please only report serious GitHub outages (1h+)
Perhaps this is to make the big companies kinda afraid from their people ;)
DonaldDerek··on Ideas for Computing
I'm with you, but users must be educated and they will adapt, take as an example the touch revolution. Even old people adapted to this change.
