For the record, I’ve never touched the native calculator. I’ve been using an RPN tool called CALX. It’s great. I’d more than happily pay to use it, but it’s free!

sunpazed··on Ask HN: Did your life as a parent affected your life as a developer?
I have three kids under 5 years, and I've been more productive than ever. Mostly due to the fact that my wife and I aren't spending time socialising after hours or on the weekend.

Once the kids are in bed, there's not much to do on a Friday or Saturday night. As a result, in the last 5 years I've built and launched several small side-projects.

sunpazed··on Show HN: Milanote – A notes app for creative work
Yes. It's a webapp.
sunpazed··on Show HN: Milanote – A notes app for creative work
I've used Milanote in beta for the last few months - and I can attest, it's a great platform for creative thinking. Calling it a "notes app" falls short of how good it is.

Milanote has replaced my previous workflow — an entire wall of post-its, and roughly half a dozen moleskines - with pages of others tacked in between the sheets.

There's a few cool features too — my favourite being ‘view as document’. It takes series of interconnected ideas, and then serialises them into a linear narrative that can be viewed as a document. Perfect for presenting your idea to stakeholders.

I particularly like Milanote not only because it helps me to visualise my ideas, but I can ‘reflow’ and organise them in ways that helps me to make connections between ideas I never saw before. It helps me be a better creative thinker.

sunpazed··on Show HN: Wavepot – Digital audio workstation of the web
This is awesome!

I'll certainly contribute to this. Will the source be opened up?

Here's a delay filter:

  var delay_array = [];
  var delay_length = 5;
  var delay_feedback = 0.6;
  var delay_volume = 0.4;

  function delay(x) {

    y = 0;
  
    if (delay_array.length < (delay_length * 1000)) {
      delay_array.push(x);  
    } else {
      y = delay_array.shift();
      delay_array.push(x + (y*delay_feedback));  
    }

    return (x) + ( y * delay_volume );
  
  }
Include this in the DSP return code, ie;

  return delay(synth);

sunpazed··on Deaf and following the World Cup? We're streaming live captions
Yes. However, it does require custom hardware. We've prototyped a small hardware platform to allow others to contribute to the live feed. However, this remains at prototype stage - we've been running self funded since inception.
sunpazed··on Deaf and following the World Cup? We're streaming live captions
Sure. It's a simple REST API. Here's the link: http://tveeder.tumblr.com/post/60208341417/oh-theres-an-api-...
sunpazed··on Deaf and following the World Cup? We're streaming live captions
Not yet. Websockets are utilised on the frontend, however the API is vanilla REST.
sunpazed··on Deaf and following the World Cup? We're streaming live captions
Yes - there's 6 streaming, see: http://tveeder.tumblr.com/post/60161190670/weve-just-graduat...

The architecture allows for additional channels as needed.

sunpazed··on Deaf and following the World Cup? We're streaming live captions
Yes, it is. Myself, and a small group of enthusiasts developed the service.

We launched in 2011, with the idea that the hearing impaired could use the service to access a great source of realtime information - television.

The hearing impaired could now objectively access and review online the quality of captions delivered by broadcasters.

Since then, it has grown into a useful resource for everyone.

One of the biggest benefits, we believe, is that our service raises the awareness of captioning to others who haven’t traditionally relied on it.

For those technically minded, it's a client-server model built with custom client hardware. Currently, we're only streaming Australian channels, however, there's scope to plug in any terrestrial broadcast, and feed it into TVeeder.

There's a REST API too.

There are other similar projects, however the advantage of the Light is that it can exist as a client AND stand-alone server, controlling other lights - including other 'Internet-of-Things'
