The link used to do something useful, but there seems to be something that changed when the new Firebase launched.

but then you have to have it be asynchronous to use indexedDB (which might be difficult or annoying with certain implementations)

I have had one way before they shipped out the SDK, and all I have to say is that it is quite a bit more janky than the hype lets it seem.

Fingers will disappear without notice when nothing all that crazy is happening and the frame rate of the device (which is speced at 120+ fps) is much closer to around 45-55 fps. This leads so some major problems with long term finger acquisition that has to be handled by the developer. Quite frustrating to do things yourself that should be handled by the SDK.

While I understand that this SDK batch is a "beta/alpha" test, it is much buggier than it should be. The SDK will hang the entire OS quite often, and there is simply no way to detect if the device is actually plugged in. It will report invalid finger data rather than telling you that no device exists.

And the javascript API is so new, that it is borderline useless. It doesn't even properly report finger width, which is kind of sad since that worked many versions ago.

Overall a cool device with lots of hype, but needs a lot more work to even be mildly useful for anything more than just simple gestures.

Because every depressed person always acts outwardly depressed...

If this was the case, depression would be the easiest mental problem to solve in the world.

If vim actually supported other keyboard formats properly (rather than making the user redefine them from scratch) I would switch in a heartbeat. But until then, vim is useless to me.

If all it takes to get on the HN front page is to post Three.js demos...

If history and religion are any evidence of this, telling people to not be aggressive and violent will literally get you nowhere. Either ignoring these people or making your own communities where such actions are not allowed is probably the only viable options.

The kickstarter project is just tvtropes copy pasted into a video series. Hardly revolutionary and groundbreaking analysis.

On services like Xbox live and psn, it is about 90/10 male female for active players. I would call that male dominated.
