I'm trying to use it and it's stuck thinking about my image. I wonder if it's suffering the HN hug of death, or if I just selected a very difficult cat photo.
The Panic Room one is kind of a neat novelty VR app... you are put in a room with the room's rotation controlled by a person holding a physical box the size of the room.
Is this anywhere downloadable? Looks really impressive.
It would be really cool if this could be controlled with two apps. One on a smartphone in the box, one as a cardboard monitor. Or is it already like that?
Oh man, there need to be more stupid hackathons. Does anyone know the process to organize one? I'd be happy to help get one going here in the Netherlands.
hi, organizer of swedish stupidhackathon here. i sent an email to the people at stupidhackathon.com. they were super sweet and told us to go for it. so do it - go for it.
what's nice about organizing a stupid hackathon is that it's really easy. if someting doesn't work out you can just shrug your shoulders and say hey that's stupid. like our livestream for instance. i forgot to plug in the microphone so there was no sound. very stupid!
Considering the amount of stupid people in the world, yes it might have. However, I am quite stupid as well, and accidentally deleted the source code during the demo.
Two seconds of regret, followed by a profound feeling of "this is perfect, I am stupid".
I admit, the smart keyboard or IntelKey or whatever sparked my interest. I don't know what it does, but I think keyboards could use a major improvement. I'm thinking something like a stenograph machine with just 20 some keys instead of my 114 key keyboard. The keyboard would need to recognize context of my "to" and "there" in order to put the right word in. So I could see an inline rasp pi or arduino doing this task. I could then type 3 times as fast. Maybe voice controls will just take over instead. Nevermind.
Usually, whenever I see something I like on the Internet these days, I "print to PDF" so I can have an offline copy. This is a great habit and I just do it out of routine these days.
So when I did it for this site, I was quite surprised that cmd-P didn't give me the standard Print dialog, but rather downloaded a pre-formatted PDF straight from the site, directly, instead.
Whoa! How do they do that? Cool feature, saves me a few clicks .. ;)
I also want to keep useful stuff for offline consumption, I used to do pdf printing...Now I use pocket , a free service, with addon on chrome , one click add to pocket... and on Android free app... working great for last few months I have been using.

I love Everything is Calm - probably because I'm a bad person. :-D
Please consider rebranding to "Gaslight"

"Trump" is replaced by "Mr President". "Stupid" is replaced by "Intelligent".
At some point it quotes the phonetic alphabet. I didn't look hard enough to work out what triggers it.
Write text with 12 keys and 2 keypresses for each symbol. Potentially a symbol also could be a string or a command or whatever.
