Which model do you use?

I think it's people talking about dumping their MacBook Pro more so than iMac.

Here's some data on which ones are shared most on reddit: https://xkcdref.info/statistics/

Atom or Vim

Rich Hickey gave one of my favorite talks that I recommend to all programmers no matter which language they code in:

I've always found this to be overlooked or at least a misguided design decision. IMO would be very helpful to be able to specify a commit, tag or branch to pull down.

The Go team's solution to this problem was allowing vendored dependencies. Basically you can put the dependencies inside your project in a directory called vendor which will be used instead of whatever is in your $GOPATH/src/. This allows you to pin deps to a specific version and not need to pull deps from the internet at all.

Hey HN! Just a fun weekend project I made awhile back and thought someone might enjoy. Feel free to ask questions, provide code criticisms, or suggest a new feature or improvement.

Had two companies pay for me to use it, but prefer the open source atom / vim combo.

We are using docker in production on google's cloud. Specifically google container engine which is essentially kubernetes.

How did you gather all the audio clips to map them to the words?

Hey HN!

We made a million "deal with it" gifs from a small sample of our media. The project incorporated computer vision which is an area that we are really excited about exploring more.

There were a lot of learning experiences and lessons learned during the project all the way from the front-end to scaling. Happy to answer any questions!

Here's a cURL request to send a binary image to be classified:

I wrote a direct port in Golang with benchmark comparisons:

The problem is that there is no consistency when it comes to our justice system. The only reason that the evidence was ruled inadmissible is because an attorney was good enough to make the case. For every CEO there are hundreds of poor people of color who are unfairly discriminated against and have no recourse available.

Never got a confirmation email so I couldn't try it out. There is no re-send functionality.

If this was coupled with a docker build service I would use it for sure.

It looks very old, kind of like from windows 95 or something. Everyone else described the actual content but that is what stood out to me.

I couldn't think of movie names, would be cool to have a "browse" mode of discovery as well.

I think this could be against the HN rules as read in the FAQ[1], if anyone who came to the link were to upvote the post. HN penalizes these posts by not allowing them to be promoted outside of newest.

> Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

> No. Users should vote for a story because it's intellectually interesting, not because someone is promoting it.

> When the software detects a voting ring, it penalizes the post. Accounts that vote like this eventually get their votes ignored.

A friend of mine and I followed Google Maps directions while on skateboards in a little town in Oregon called Coquille.

At the bottom of a fairly steep hill there was a huge unchained full-grown Rottweiler.

When we arrived at the flat area he attacked.

We had to hold our boards out to defend ourselves.

A women driver started honking and driving towards the dog causing him to run away.

We rode towards the main road, and I've never used Google maps in that tiny town again. Likely because I haven't been there since that day.

Good idea of just trimming to the end if the end value is greater than the video duration, I'll add that next week.

As a quick hack since the youtube video duration is 7.383s, and you want to trim to the end just omit the end property.

I can't understand the argument of social media making the world a worse place. Television is made by publishers who get to decide what to deliver to their audience which is in stark contrast to facebook, twitter, etc... where you are in control of who you follow or friend. Additionally we don't care where you share our media, you can feel free to use it in a blog post.

The only thing we're trying to fuel is the ability of the common person to express themselves through short video. If you think that is a bad then we'll have to agree to disagree.

That indeed looks to be the problem, we have some ideas in store to fix this but for now source media is limited to one hour.

I filed an issue to report the correct error message and log this as an event so we could see how many times it's happening.

Sorry about that and I hope you find some other AoE videos to gif!

I'm not Rory, our CEO who you're replying to, but he couldn't respond due to a HN "posting too fast" error so I thought I would chime in.

What we are truly passionate about is exposing the general public to a new means of expression through short form media. What we are seeing is publishers writing articles that are just lists of looping GIFs, sports fans browsing /r/nba and watching the 3 dunks and a block instead of the 3 hour game, etc... so we built our embeddable GIFs player that allows viewers to share, turn on sound, view source, and much more. It also has the benefit of using mp4 or webm format over the actual gif file which is not a good choice when compared to those modern formats. This has led to a lot of publishers using our product and the tremendous growth of people viewing media in our embedded player. Now we want to expand another segment of our user-base, the creator (who we see as the next-generation of publishers) by making a easy-to-use video editor in the cloud.

To finally answer your question, how could we generate revenue, we could show highly targeted ads during prime-time slots. Imagine the NBA finals game, people making GIFS and sharing them with captions. Nike wants to promote some new product and they use our ad platform to expose a viral campaign / advertisement on all of our media. That's just one idea but there are many other potential avenues for monetization that we are considering as well.

tl;dr we're not aiming to be an image hosting company

Yes this is possible, we havn't updated the docs[1] yet but the editor uses our public API for all the effects.

    {
      "source": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhyANGHDDH8",
      "trim": {
        "start": 145,
        "end": 148
      }
    }

This is true, most of the time. A gif can have super long delays in between frames, it should be possible to make a < 1kb gif that turns into > 1GB video.

We serve mp4 or webm if possible, before falling back to the gif in our embedded player. Highly recommend using that rather than the gif in an image element.

We spent a good time brainstorming and discussing what it is we're building before we built it. It's hard to describe complex ideas and grandiose visions of the future succinctly.

Our goal is not to be a high quality image transcoding business, if that's what you are after there are many great options. Our first task was to create a tool that anyone (like our parents) could use to edit short clips of video and easily share it with their friends. However I can sympathize with the feeling of wanting higher quality media and we have several performance increases and smart mechanisms to serve the right quality to different clients that will allow us to increase the quality of our media for everyone, no auctions necessary.

For converting arrays of objects between formats like CSV, JSON, YAML, XML (WIP), etc... I built aoot[1] which stands for "Array of objects to". It's written in Node.js and uses upstream packages whenever possible.

I'll forward the compliment and feedback to our UI / UX designer, thanks!

Thanks for the question and I hope you enjoy it!

What I meant by democratizing was opening up a capability to many more people than previously available due to needing expensive software or the knowledge and skills to use OSS.

Here is wikipedia's definition:

> Democratization of technology refers to the process by which access to technology rapidly continues to become more accessible to more people.

So that gif logo in the middle of the homepage has a background of a recent and random GIF created. Looks like someone made one with the brazzers logo as a sticker.

Thanks for pointing this out though, the team had a good chuckle and it reinforced the need for a manual or better system to elect gifs that show up on the homepage.
