I'm building a mod for the game Subway Builder (http://subwaybuilder.com) that lets me undo/redo individual stations and tracks, instead of clearing all blueprints.

From what I've read, user accounts are tagged as being US created and are therefore blocked from accessing the app.

I can't begin to imagine what this world would look like, but I can keep dreaming...

I think splitting up Maps from Google/Apple would make OpenStreetMaps see a lot more usage and improvements.

Amazon Shopping should absolutely be split into an online store and a logistics company.

I'd like to see something even more radical when splitting up Infrastructure (AWS / GCP / Azure), such as the Government offering Infrastructure similar to the Postal Service, effectively turning AWS / GCP / Azure into Fedex / UPS.

Is there any context that could help understand wtf I’m looking at?

Is this a collection of resources that promote using things other than loops while programming?

Are we advocating for a world without physical loops, eg. Rollercoasters without loops?

I guess they never said it was a live-streamed presentation..

Seems to be an issue with the latest macOS update, they had similar issues in macOS Ventura and I copied the fix over for macOS Sonoma and was able to see the IDE after running from IntelliJ.

Ahh good catch, I just glanced at the repo and assumed it contained source code but it looks like its just a bunch of jars: https://github.com/heronarts/LXStudio-IDE/tree/master/lib

The actual source code is hosted on separate repos I believe: https://github.com/heronarts/LXStudio-IDE

This looks insanely cool, thanks for sharing!

I'm curious to find resources on learning this tool however I was only able to find the tutorials from LXStudio.

Is anyone using this software in production and can comment on its experience vs. TouchDesigner? TouchDesigner's node system always pissed me off, as it felt like an unnecessary barrier that just made things harder.

Also in general, any VJs on hacker news?

EDIT: Some more instructions to run the application would be great, after loading the project locally and running `mvn validate`, I'm seeing the program execute but nothing is showing up on my screen.

I'll add that I'm at out of work Software Engineer with a BS in Comp Sci and I've been researching to see if a Masters in ML/AI is worth it.

I haven't seen anything indicating it's essential, and I still see that with a MS in AI/ML you're still most likely going to be doing Software Dev... I'm sure it's different for a PhD, but as the other commenter said, it's going to take a lot longer.

Right now I'm basically trying to just re-create the TikTok / Youtube Shorts / Instagram Reels experience of infinitely scrolling videos.

Mostly just building for fun though.

I thoroughly appreciated this article as I've been building a short-form video content streaming service and the performance hasn't been what I expected.

Granted, I knew that my service needs to be able to scale at different bottlenecks, but a lot of "build your own video service!" tutorials start with:

- Build a backend, return a video file

- Build a frontend, embed the video

And that leaves a lot to be desired in terms of performance. I think the actual steps should be:

- Build a backend that consists of:

  - Video Ingestion service

  - Video Upload / Processing Service that saves the video into chunks

  - Build a streaming service that returns video chunks

- Build a frontend that consists of:

  - Build or use a video streaming library that can play video chunks as a stream

Edit: From the author's links, I found this website which is very informative: https://howvideo.works/
