deadcast··on Bird of the Day: Using Azure Computer Vision to count birds in my yard
That would take a bit more effort to do species identification but it would be very cool! I kept this project pretty simple with just using object detection. So "if (detectedObject.type == 'bird') ..."
deadcast··on Bird of the Day: Using Azure Computer Vision to count birds in my yard
Sure! Yeah I wish I could do the same with birds as well. Like just go out and hang with them and pet them. They're some birds on my porch right now and a female baby great tailed grackle trying to break into my office window haha!

Sorry everyone for the terrible service. :( Just discovered that my page kite instance only handles up to 5 requests! So here's a PDF to the page hosted on skynet. https://siasky.net/_Ajdq1vNw7AsSfY4cIgkAPyKg9quUabhtuTdwSWiz...

Not an ad. The site is hosted on my freedombox in my house. It's not handling the traffic too well lol.

Also there's no JS on the site. Just plain old HTML. Written with just notepad.

deadcast··on Fastmail – 20 Years Old
Yay very cool! Been using them for 5+ years now and I love it. Happy to pay. Their web interface has stayed very fast and well organized I think. Love the fact that you get a huge list of domains to choose for your email(s)! imap.cc is one of my favorites. ^_^
deadcast··on Blender 2.80
Yeah forget metal. Apple should focus more on supporting opengl. DirectX and GL are already fantastic graphical APIs.
deadcast··on The Raspberry Pi 4 needs a fan
Never seen these before and just bought one! I'm going to try running some old 3d games via Wine on the Pi and this fan will probably really help performance. :)
deadcast··on The Weird World of Vegan YouTube Stars
Fantastic read. Thanks for sharing that! :0)
deadcast··on Build a 100% Serverless Website with AWS in 7 Easy Steps
I guess having a "server" would have prevented the down time. ;)
deadcast··on 'Facebook is taking everything': rising rents drive out Silicon Valley families
Dang, I thought farcebook was supposed to bring communities/world together. Haha yeah.... /s
deadcast··on Alternatives to Google Products
Haha yeah I'm going to get express vpn now thanks to this article. I can also pay with bitcoin! Yes! :)
deadcast··on Alternatives to Google Products
I've enjoyed fastmail for many years as an alternative to gmail. I've never once had any issues with them and their UI has been very responsive. They also give you a MASSIVE list of domain names to choose from! ^_^
deadcast··on Microsoft acquires Github
It was actually very easy for me lmao. ^_^ I'm nooooooo noob to computer technology.
deadcast··on Microsoft acquires Github
I just finished moving all my 20+ repos over from github and deleted all of my github accounts. Feels good actually. I'm glad to see gitlab getting good attention. I bet all of the people behind gitlab are feeling pumped/anxious/excited right now! ^_^
deadcast··on GitLab sees huge spike in project imports
Have to start somewhere! ^_^
deadcast··on GitLab sees huge spike in project imports
Or then I could just host it myself using their open tech and everything would be fine again. :)
deadcast··on GitLab sees huge spike in project imports
I just moved all of my repos over from github so actually I'm some of the problem haha. :)
deadcast··on Report of Active Shooter at YouTube HQ
Yeah the gun fetish here in the USA is a bit bizarre unfortunately. :(
deadcast··on Facebook critic: Company ‘will not survive long term’
Haha I know I was thinking the same thing. "Long term" I wager Microsoft won't exist anymore! :)
deadcast··on Show HN: Coinmon – Check Bitcoin Prices in Terminal
Now that's what I call a refactor! :D ty
deadcast··on Ask HN: We didn't get a single person to pay for our SAAS – what could be wrong?
Whoa yeah that signup form killed the experience for me. A definite turn off. Could build a much, much simpler and elegant form.
deadcast··on Show HN: UltraEd – A level editor/game engine for the Nintendo 64
Good idea! I'll take some today and add them to the github repo. Maybe that will be helpful. :)
deadcast··on Show HN: UltraEd – A level editor/game engine for the Nintendo 64
Aww thanks much! :D Yeah I just lack confidence I guess since reversing binaries has always seemed a bit intense. I need to finally buy a really good code reversal tool and then start my quest to reproduce! :) It would be great if me or someone else was successful since then the N64 could be more easily developed for on any OS!!
deadcast··on Show HN: UltraEd – A level editor/game engine for the Nintendo 64
Because the 16 bit executables are closed source. :/ The special linker MILD.exe that organizes all of the RSP(Reality Signal Processor) microcodes and game data is the piece that needs to be reverse-engineered which is possible but currently beyond me. :)
deadcast··on Show HN: UltraEd – A level editor/game engine for the Nintendo 64
Just Windows XP/NT sadly. :/
deadcast··on Show HN: UltraEd – A level editor/game engine for the Nintendo 64
I've tried but it doesn't seem possible. Wine and even DOS Box can't run the 16 bit SDK executables. I'd love to be able to run just the ROM build process in Wine. :)
deadcast··on Show HN: UltraEd – A level editor/game engine for the Nintendo 64
Yes! :) There's a great book called the Nintendo 64 Anthology that is a fantastic read to get in-depth history of the console. It also dives into how Rare created Golden Eye and some good info about Silicon Graphic's hardware development at the time.

For websites I would check out gamasutra. They great articles like this one https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131556/postmortem_ang.... I know they have some others like on Indiana Jones and Star Wars Ep 1: Racer.

Haha thanks for providing that! :) I should eventually add some gifs/png showing the editor working.

I'm using the 64drive cart from http://64drive.retroactive.be/. I've owned both generations and they're very easy to develop with. There's a USB port on the side of the N64 cart that lets you load ROMs very easily to test rapidly.

Yep! Thanks for the clarification.
