sossles··on Show HN: Wavepot – Digital audio workstation of the web
What a great idea. I want to make synthesized sound effects for a game I'm making, and building them algorithmically in Javascript would be great. My alternatives have involved twiddling a zillion predefined knobs in a overwhelming UI, but as a developer this is far more appealing.

If only I could export the generated sound!

I had the same problem, same platform (Chrome 20.0.1132.57 m). A couple even had the indecency of appearing at the exact moment that I clicked the "Compare" button.
sossles··on Reddit takes a new direction
This is what gets me. It's not CBP reddit that is a problem, it's the whacked out people (parents in this case) who are creating content that are the 'problem'. If you, as a parent, dress your toddler in provocative clothes and put them in a beauty pagent, then you're being ridiculously naive to think that people will only ever see this in an innocent light.

Sorted by proximity, that's interesting. That seems like it would make it very hard to follow/have a conversation or post a reply to any other post.

I always thought something like this would be good for answering questions like "hey there's lots of cars here, what are they all here for?". But even for that, I would have thought time was a more accurate indicator of relevance than (approximate) location.

I had this same idea but was way too lazy to implement it. Well done. :-)

How hard are the borders of each locality? For example, if I exchange messages with someone a few miles away, a third party might only be able to see half the conversation if they're too far from one of us.

Or is it like a thousand chatrooms, and if I travel a short distance then I suddenly flip to a new chatroom?

Not stealing, but it is profiting from goodwill. Attention is the currency of the web, and while you can't stop people looking for alternatives, you can be respectful about not profiting from it.
sossles··on Hey Google, thanks for making my daughter cry.
We are customers, but the currency is attention, not money.
sossles··on Son, as soon as someone puts their hands on you...
If your kid actually wins the fight, it humiliates the bully, then there's a risk that it will escalate.

If your kid just gives the bully a few bruises but ultimately loses the fight then they've sent the message that they're not an easy target, and the bully has saved face.
