Nice project.

Would be cool if there was an easy way to obtain the link to the actual video and maybe show the original title, description and username.

Sounds interesting. Where has the main repo for Tachyon gone though? https://github.com/humanmade/tachyon says it has been disabled.

The Telecine way does not involve a cam. I think you mean Telesync.

That makes me wonder: why do you spend so many hours badmouthing PHP in multiple threads on here? Why isn't that time spent on something else?

That was bad but I thought the worst part (icing) was "our package manager will be open source too so obviously we would welcome any contribution from you". Wow!

I remember when GitHub used to have private messaging. I liked that feature. It was an easy and unified way to get in touch with other coders on there and felt less intrusive than sending them e-mails out of the blue (or opening issues for the sake of communication, as some do).

It's a lot more fun with WSL 2. Something to get you started: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2020/03/02/docker-in-wsl....

It requires you to sign up for the Windows Insider program though.

Also check this for an annoying issue and a workaround: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4166.

So are your IntelliSense extension and the PHP Intelephense extension competing solutions? Why? Isn't there a way to join forces?

And I have to say that I've had better experiences with the latter. Also "last commit: 14.11.2018" on IntelliSense doesn't sound that great.

Last time I tried the 'Getter & Setter' extension, it was quite a pain compared to PHPStorm. I had to click on each of my variables to generate a getter and setter. Wish it was just let me choose which variables I want to generate getters and setters (issers and hassers) for.

I really like to work in VS Code when I am on my home laptop (as in: not at work) but things like these more or less force me to keep a PHPStorm trial version open in the background.

How is this fun?

Thanks for changing the title, whoever did it. This definitely sounded like PHP as a whole is dead. There's more than enough FUD surrounding PHP out there really.

Ask HN: Open source audio watermarking solutions?

soulclap — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 21:03:34 +0000

I have been thinking about building a service that will require audio watermarking at some point for ages.

Are there any good open source/free solutions to individually watermark audio to make it traceable?

It should be unobtrusive and survive in all the major formats, such as WAV/FLAC/MP3.

Thanks in advance!

soulclap — Sun, 24 Jun 2018 23:38:42 +0000

Looks interesting. Does the 'hot topics' section list all available tags or are there more?

When choosing tags, it would help if I could see which tags you're giving to specific stories on HN.

Steve Jobs is turning in his grave. All of these look so random and interchangeable to me that it could probably even have effects on the common 'iOS first' mentality. What was so special about the iPhone again?

Seriously, HN? Downvoting a post by the guy behind the actual project so much that it (currently) ends up at the bottom of the discussion? Wow!

(That said, I don't agree with the author's opinion but it just seemed so disrespectful. Obviously quite some work went into this already and visually, it shows.)

soulclap — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:23:20 +0000

I doubt that 'you can easily find good programmers' for other languages than PHP, depending on the location and the language and your definition of 'good'. PHP is widespread, making it easy to find developers while a lot of the more 'sophisticated' languages are not and I seriously doubt that all developers coming to Ruby or Python are immediately 'good' at it. (There are enough companies which are sticking to PHP because it just works and they can't find good developers for other languages in their region.)

Besides that, it's just really tiresome to see PHP bashing on HN again and again. Don't even get me started on the actual article.

Not too interested in those stats actually, but being a huge hip hop fan I think Rap Genius is a great site and if they can stand that kind of mass-crawling, even better for them!

New comment by soulclap in "“Why are you using Node.js rather than PHP?”"

soulclap — Sun, 26 May 2013 03:45:30 +0000

Sure we can. And Node.js definitely shows off some functionality that PHP should be jealous of (referring to that 'PHP is meant to die' article). I am probably going to experience it myself soon when tapping into Node.js territoriers. But it's not a proper comparison if you put plain old basic PHP up against an ExpressJS project instead of using a current PHP framework such as Laravel 4.
