thanks for your honest reply, good luck with the library!
vvoyer··on Show HN: Searchkit – React components for elasticsearch
Nice! Funny is that Algolia released something very similar some time ago: https://community.algolia.com/instantsearch.js/

It seems searckit took great inspiration from it:

- component naming (search box, refinement list, hierarchical menu)

- documentation organisation:

+ http://searchkit.co/ is using an imdb demo just as https://www.algolia.com/ homepage

+ https://ssetem.gitbooks.io/searchkit/content/ vs https://community.algolia.com/instantsearch.js/documentation... (see "components" menu on the left)

- react based (but only works if you have react though)

- and more parts maybe

@Author could you give some more details on the parts of instantsearch.js that were inspiring to your project?

Thanks

So nicely done, would love to see the code on github thought
vvoyer··on Node.js: Some quick optimization advice
Who need this? Prople writing really really performant code like parsers. Who write parsers? 1% of ppl? Sad this get so much exposure. Stop losing time with micro optimization, this is a bug that's it.

vvoyer··on Libraries – Open Source Discovery Service
This is where https://libraries.io/ falls short. While the execution is really great (good job), the idea that a developer might be looking for projects in a wide variety of language/platforms at once is false.

Most of the time you already know the platform and want only to search for this platform, not all of them.

It must be a fun project to do still.

vvoyer··on Azure is now bigger, faster, more open, and more secure
I recently had to use the Azure various APIS like ServiceBus.

It's a complete failure once you get lost in bugs, missing or hard to find API documentation or examples like `var serviceBusService = azure.createServiceBusService();` WELL Mister API Designer you failed!

vvoyer··on Software engineering interview questions
Thanks for your reply. I understand that the programmers you are looking for are not typical programmers.

What I wanted to point out is that I was frequently impressed in my career by people capable of solving these problems easily and thought of myself a bad or less doable programmer.

While in reality there are a lot of different programmers out there and they will fit differently given the job they need to do.

Sometimes it will be a requirement to know all theses problems well, sometimes even if you know them well you will lack the needed experience to do the actual job.

I am a JavaScript (now you understand right? :D) developer working on frontend/backend websites and I can tell you most of the people I have worked with do not care about me knowing easily how to deal with a "binary tree order traversal"

vvoyer··on Software engineering interview questions
I am not able to answer any of these easily and still get a lot of job done and job offers every day/two days.

Interviewing for a frontend Facebook job is all about doing an Array.map/reduce no more.

What matters is what you can do.

Few engineers really need to learn and master "Binary Tree Level Order Traversal" every day after coffee.

vvoyer··on Show HN: Gifify – Convert any video file to an optimized animated GIF
gifify now supports subtitles and can extract 5 seconds from a 2 hours movies in less than 20 seconds.

HF with GIFS

vvoyer··on Show HN: Gifify – Convert any video file to an optimized animated GIF
I immediately thought of it too, it might be fun to do the movify to transform a gif to a movie, command line.
vvoyer··on Show HN: Gifify – Convert any video file to an optimized animated GIF
Yes giflossy does a very good job at compressing GIFs. Giflossy compression wlil be implemented in gifsicle in the end.
vvoyer··on Show HN: Gifify – Convert any video file to an optimized animated GIF
Careful, your script and one liner generates a whopping 1.5mb file for a 3s movie.

While gifify generates a 1mb file for a 800 px wide, 20s screencast.

https://github.com/pornel/giflossy helps a lot, and works with unix pipes too, you can try it.

Optimized! :)

Also, gifify has lots of options like compression, resizing, speed, colors..

Of course, in the end, it's only a wrapper to ffmpeg - convert - gifsicle (giflossy).

But it helps a lot in achieving MOVIE -> GIF. In a command line way or programmatic way (i.e., you can write a server that uses it and stream gifs to the client).
