kenrick95··on Offline-Friendly Forms
I'm actually expecting a Service Worker solution using Background Sync feature, like the description of the problem in this article: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/12/background...

From the discussions there, in summary, it seemed that: MP3 will be supported by MediaWiki, WMF legal team has approved usage MP3 in Wikimedia projects, and Wikimedia Commons and other wikis will discuss whether to enable MP3 uploading.
kenrick95··on The New Firefox and Ridiculous Numbers of Tabs
Unfortunately, this extension, too will soon die when Firefox no longer supports legacy addons.

I think there is a new Firefox experiment that behaves somewhat like this: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/containers

kenrick95··on Ask HN: Which wireless router do you use at home?
I'm using TP-Link WR802N [1] and installed OpenWRT on it. Its small form factor is quite useful for me since sometimes I took it when I traveled back to my hometown (to easily have my local wifi network).

kenrick95··on First Nokia-branded Android smartphone to be released exclusively in China
If anyone could read Chinese, here is the product page on Nokia's website: http://www.nokia.com/zh_int/phones/nokia-6
kenrick95··on Ask HN: What are some great fiction reads for someone that reads non-fiction
Douglas Adams's "The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy", a sci-fi comedy adventure fiction. It's the book where this appears: Answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. The novel is adapted from a radio drama show, so reading it feels like someone is telling and describing you a story verbally.

kenrick95··on Cooperative Domain Name System
> FAQ: CoDoNS Deployment:

> I am interested in running a CoDoNS node locally. Can I join the CoDoNS overlay? [...]

> [..] Please let us know that you want to join by email and we will give you an update on project status and when we expect to ship you a bootable CD.

My first thought is that this project must be quite old as sending programs through CD might be faster than sending them through the Internet.

kenrick95··on Wikipedia’s resident shipwreck aficionado
Well, (English) Wikipedia have an extension to make revisions of certain pages appear only after review. It's only targeted on several articles, and its main purpose is to suppress vandalism. See more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pending_changes

Yeah, it's on the Foundation's plan. [0]

kenrick95··on Introducing Windows Defender Application Guard for Microsoft Edge
It's using Hyper-V, so does that mean this only applies to Pro and Enterprise edition of Windows 10?
kenrick95··on Show HN: Finding puns computationally
I found his source code on GitHub. [0]

From this[1], seems like he's taking the top-10 closest (in terms of Lehvenstein distance) phoneme of input and idioms of English language.

kenrick95··on Cubr – A Rubik’s Cube Solver Written in Python and using Webcam Input (2013)
Looks like a post from 2013, it should have "(2013)" appended to its HN submission title.
kenrick95··on GPU Accelerated Theano and Keras with Windows 10
Curiously, I tried and it seems that it couldn't communicate to the GPU. Installation is successful, but upon running `nvidia-smi` command, it returned the following:

  NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
kenrick95··on How to Write Articles and Essays Quickly and Expertly (2006)
A bit OOT: representing arguments as trees and computing which argument is the "best" is one research area in AI/KR, which I am currently doing for my univ's FYP. (if you're interested, check "Argumentation Framework" on Wikipedia and "Assumption-based Argumentation" on Google Scholars)
kenrick95··on Show HN: Multiplayer Pac-Man
Hi HN, this is a project created by me and my friends during Facebook Singapore Hackathon 2016 last weekend (and we won the 2nd place there). Client is implemented using Canvas and vanilla JS. Server is implemented in Python + Tornado. And they communicate via WebSocket. I hope you can enjoy the game :) Source codes are available on GitHub:

- Client: https://github.com/SpanishArmada/mmopm-client

kenrick95··on Show HN: Ben – web-based analog clock that chimes like Big Ben
Hi there, this is my side project to experiment more with CSS3.

This project is open-sourced at https://github.com/kenrick95/ben Chiming sounds are taken from public domain sources. Currently, it did not sound the hourly Big Ben chimes, but I think it will be a good addition in the future.

kenrick95··on Firefox’s latest Test Pilot: No More 404s
Take note that it is an opt-in Test Pilot project.
kenrick95··on CS188 Intro to AI – Course Materials
The first half of this course was previously offered at edx during Fall 2012, Spring 2013, and most recently Spring 2015 (CMIIW). Back in 2013, when I just graduated from high school and waiting for uni to start, I enrolled myself in the Spring 2013 offering and it was a great course. Just note that this is a quite a heavy course to take (there are lectures, homework, and projects); but the project is really fun, you're to make Pac-man more intelligent in its environment :)

From the knowledge gained from the MOOC, later on I made this game http://kenrick95.github.io/c4/demo/ which I implemented a simple AI as the opponent, which is a minimax agent. It is not perfect, but it is good enough for me :)

kenrick95··on Show HN: Ceilfire.com – Online HTML5 Game Maker
Some thoughts:

1. I think it will be better if in the Terms of Use [1] is also provided in English.

2. I read the ToS because I'm interested on who owns the IP of the game or assets made in this platform

3. By "remaking" current games, does that mean everyone is forced to "open-source" their "source codes"?
