javierbyte··on Bitcoin is not a Battery – it is a Sink
Looks like so, weird. I currently see "Bitcoin as a Battery" in the front page, which is older and has less points, with 121 points and posted 7 hours ago.

I hate how people have to use "cancerous" everywhere. Out of respect please use a different word.

It was restored to the original owner, I'm not sure when.

javierbyte··on Show HN: Sombras.app, toy to play with shadows and 3D, TensorFlow logo style
I really liked the original Tensorflow logo and wanted to make a generator for graphics like that.

You can select which shadows to cast, the color of the lights and a 3D object is generated for you. The app can export images and be shared and generate a thumbnail with the design.

I made this app to test `react-three-fiber` and `useCannon`.

javierbyte··on Effects of short-term fasting on cancer treatment
> Just consider that all it takes to become 100 lbs overweight by age 50 is an extra 38 calories a day starting at age 25. Source? Sounds very hard to believe, when you starting getting weight from that 38 calories you also start to require more energy to do the same thing, just because you weight more. And there are a ton more factors to add, the human body is not as simple as that.
javierbyte··on Show HN: 'Hack' the user cursor
I was thinking about this. You can accumulate the position difference and trick the user into clicking anywhere. I'll try to do that right now and update the demo :)
javierbyte··on Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?
I'm proud of a tool that I did to find the visual center of images (http://javier.xyz/visual-center/) and one to make random color schemes more cohesive (http://javier.xyz/cohesive-colors/). I find those two really useful.

I'm not so proud of a tool that transforms images to pure css (http://javier.xyz/img2css/) but it's by far my most popular tool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

javierbyte··on Ask HN: What are the best personal project websites you've seen?
I'm posting my own too:

http://javier.xyz/

It's an auto updated portfolio with my github, dribbble, and some other social networks.

javierbyte··on Battlecode – AI Programming Competition
Cool! Reminds me of something that I did http://javier.xyz/clashjs/ a JS AI battle game :)
javierbyte··on A Single Div
We had a contest at the office, the challenge was to create the most complex illustration with css and a single div, so I created http://javier.xyz/img2css/ (I have to admit that is not as fun nor interesting to create 'single divs' with img2css).
javierbyte··on Show HN: Create simple image morphing transitions with css
DigitalOcean had DNS problems. It's fixed now.

I'm not defending Apple, but ...

javierbyte··on Show HN: React component for blurred backgrounds
Yeah, I was also thinking in create a non-react version, but a separate react version would still be needed since we are doing DOM manipulation.
javierbyte··on Show HN: React component for blurred backgrounds
Sure! Fixing right now.
javierbyte··on Show HN: React component for blurred backgrounds
Thank you! I will investigate and compare.
javierbyte··on Show HN: React component for blurred backgrounds
Author here. As far as I know there is no way to do blur with CSS in IE10+ https://github.com/Schepp/CSS-Filters-Polyfill#a-word-regard... so we must use canvas to be cross-browser.
javierbyte··on Don’t Replace CoffeeScript with ES6 Transpilers
Even if you use CoffeeScript, you will need to learn javascript, and for everything that you write in CoffeeScript, you should know exactly how it will look when is compiled.

So, if you learn CoffeeScript, you must also learn Babel, because it is ES6. If you write CoffeeScript, only people that use CoffeeScript will be able to read your code fluently.

If you learn Babel instead, people will organically learn ES6 overtime, and your code will become understandable to all javascript community.
