jarnix··on Inside Magic Leap
Nobody knows if the tech exists yet!
jarnix··on Inside Magic Leap
I wish I can combine Magic Leap with AR glasses.
jarnix··on Office UI Fabric by Microsoft
Does it have a progress bar component that goes backward like in Windows :) ?
jarnix··on Donald Trump Is Elected President
It's not entirely true. During the previous elections in France, people voted against Sarkozy, they did not vote for François Hollande.
jarnix··on Ask HN: Are you still using PHP?
Yes it's easy to start something without thinking too much. I suppose that someone fluent in nodejs would say the same about nodejs though.
jarnix··on 'Big Bang Theory' Sheldon Prequel Series in the Works at CBS
I don't think that you're the only one.

I watched the first season (a few years ago) only and gave up. Watching adult actors play teenagers or listen to the same jokes again and again is really boring.

There are a lot of other series that deserve to be watched.

jarnix··on Bitwarden – Free and Open Source Password Manager
I would like to host this service myself, it should not need too many resources right? Is there an opensource lastpass that someone here is using ?
jarnix··on OVH to establish North American headquarters and first U.S. data center
It may become difficult for OVH (based in France) to survive with Amazon and Azure deploying servers in France, don't you think ?
jarnix··on Disney Is Working with an Adviser on Potential Twitter Bid
How is this even legal? :)
jarnix··on Show HN: BlingBling – Make it rain
On my nexus 6 I had to rotate the phone horizontally
jarnix··on Google to buy cloud software company Apigee for $625M
Sorry, I never understood what that company was doing, and still it's a complete mystery when I read their website.
jarnix··on Plottable.js – Flexible, interactive charts for the web
We are using Chartjs http://www.chartjs.org/ and HighCharts http://www.highcharts.com/ for our projects
jarnix··on GitHub Cancer
"Please check .gitignore file of your project and make sure that it excludes node_modules from the files to track"

Some dependencies might use "isArray" or "leftPad", that is the reason why I commit my node_modules, it's stupid but I don't want to lose anything when someone decides to remove his code from npm or github...

jarnix··on Apple-sans-adjectives – A font that redacts Apple-esque superlatives from text
It's not only "adjectives", also the word "revolution" was not masked too. "It's a revolution" are the first words that come to my mind when I think about Apple ;)
jarnix··on VPAID ads destroy performance and are still served by major ad networks
It's just that the advertiser, the agency, the ad network, another ad network, and another agency are tracking the time that you are watching the video. Plus, sometimes, they track every second or the code is really dirty and does this kind of crazy number of http (tracking) requests. 5000 requests is above the average though :) But I saw recently an ad like that, and it was like 100% of my surf on a website.
jarnix··on Scaling to 100M: MySQL Is a Better NoSQL
In my company we are using a mysql cluster based on galera, (percona xtradb server) and it's a master-master solution that is rather easy to deploy and maintain. The only limit was that we had to use a single server for writes (that would make the "cluster" thing kind of useless but it's not in fact, we are using a load balancer on top of the cluster and the load balancer decides of the "master" where writes go so it's transparent to our application), definitely worth a try.
jarnix··on Chrome removes Backspace to go back
this was a behaviour in other browsers a long time before Chrome started...
jarnix··on Ask HN: Has anyone created a useful Facebook Bot?
Hello,

I will try a bot as a/this weekend project.

However my first chat with Poncho was not too great : http://imgur.com/S4iJsw3

jarnix··on High-Speed Ad Traders Profit by Arbitraging Your Eyeballs
I tried to know more about these "two guys in Chinatown" but in vain, I really would like to know more !
jarnix··on PHP-PM grows up to be a credible option for high performance PHP
It's really impressive but it's still at a really early stage of development (for example it's using react/http which is far from stable) and PHP-PM will cause a lot of memory leaks as they say in the readme. Impressive anyway, looks like nodejs/v8 with php.
jarnix··on Show HN: YC interview practice app
It's fun, it's using a French TTS engine on my computer :)
jarnix··on Uber wants access to browsing history, bookmarks, and running apps
This permission should just simply not exist. I had two games and an another app. The browsing history was, in this case, used for targetting ads. I did not need the apps and uninstalled the apps (it was around 2 years ago, on previous version of Android I think).

The apps on Android should be sandboxed and not be given this kind of permissions, that's all.

jarnix··on Uninstall QuickTime for Windows: Apple will not patch its security bugs
They should trigger an alert if it's possible within the software. I have something called "Apple Software Update" on my PC, it could be used to display an alert or even ask the user to remove Quicktime automatically...
jarnix··on A smart plug to monitor your router and automatically reset power if WiFi fails
Where/when do you live guys ? Who buys a router that needs to be restarted (and even fails) ? :) I have a Netgear something that acts as a wifi router and I do not have to restart it, I don't understand :)
jarnix··on Open Hunt is shutting down
Anyone would like to keep the service running? I could help finance/code/etc, let's keep it up!!
jarnix··on Nginx: a caching, thumbnailing, reverse proxying image server
We do something similar : when nginx doesn't find the file for a given format (width and height are in the url), it's a 404 and we use the 404 handler to proxy to a php app that does the resize/crop (and we have a list of the formats we use more often in the app so we store the generated thumb on the disk), the resize/crop operation is centered around coordinates that we determine with opencv (it detects faces and/or focus points) when the user uploads the picture.

We use varnish in front of nginx

jarnix··on How Wired Is Going to Handle Ad Blocking
No, they cannot say that they have xxx users per day/month/year, the reports of the adservers are the one that are read by the advertisers (and the editors), the number of visitors is useless if you can't serve them ads.
jarnix··on How Wired Is Going to Handle Ad Blocking
According to undisclosed sources, a user gives around $1 per year to an editor of this kind, so yes, it's a massive difference!
jarnix··on The Montreux Jazz Festival archive is now online
Is it a full archive though? I can only find a few videos and the search returns only a list, maybe it's just that the site is overloaded right now.
