bukka··on Someone at YouTube needs glasses
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the volume slider being moved from the left to the right side on the player... They also removed the ability the use mouse wheel to control the slider too.

How does something as big as a player redesign go through so little QA on one of the largest websites in the world?

Could you clarify what bullet-style LEDs are and how do they look?
bukka··on Building an artificial sun that looks realistic [video]
I'm curious if the lack of heat in the lightrays will ruin the immersion of sunlight? Perhaps couple this with an IR heatlamp to add the real feel of sunrays hitting your skin?
bukka··on Ask HN: Do we need better ways to interface with our computers?
You mentioned the Touch Bar but didn't mention smart phones?

I think the trend is clear, ideally you don't want anything between you and your computer. Hence the rise of touch screen phones (combining the keyboard and touch controls with the screen).

What I'm excited about is moving from 2D controls to 3D environments. It is still a little early but if you look at VR, you can create any sort of interface with your computer. Need more monitors? Just edit your scene. Need a bigger or smaller monitor? Easy, edit your config file. Those monitors you just created ... you can make them respond to touch or your eyeball movement.

The only hardware you will need is a VR kit (headset for vision and audio + gloves/knuckles for your hand interface).

Maybe "fry" was the wrong word to use here. The USB device mentioned in the article doesn't work after it kills the device so the components actually don't get too hot after the initial surge.

Also any battery on your device is also a potential fire hazard. There are procedures in place to deal with such cases.

The device was bought on a website that advertises it as an "ESD tester". Couldn't the student blame this on false advertising?

All Inflight Entertainment Systems are completely isolated. You'll fry your own screen, enjoy the rest of your flight.
bukka··on Instagram hides Like counts in leaked design prototype
Maybe I'm the minority, but seeing a post with a ton of likes will discourage me from liking it. One like has no impact among thousands. Same reason I don't upvote posts on the front page, they already made it there so why bother upvoting.

Do you have any source for this? A bedroom isn't sealed shut like a submarine would be?

bukka··on How Braintree destroyed a successful taxi startup from Serbia
Yes, the only reason this app exists is because Uber isn't allowed to run in Serbia.
bukka··on Tydlig – Calculator Reimagined for iPad and iPhone
I was actually working on something really similar. (http://i.imgur.com/w4F8ms4.gif)

It really is true that at any moment there is probably 4 other teams working on a similar idea as you are.

Well I will not give up. Good luck to you too!

How would this compete with Trello?
bukka··on Ask HN: Which framework should I use for a real-time modular dashboard?
I actually ran into this while doing some research. One thing that worries me about using this framework is how much freedom would I get? I really need custom widgets, such as chat, videos, images and many other types. Do you think this will handle the large amount of custom code on top of it?
