When I'm coding on my MBP, having my iMac display fullscreen videos of Deus Ex: Human Revolution/Mankind Divided soundtracks from Gaming Ambience on YouTube is super nice.

#26801 Unfortunately, my main browser (Firefox) doesn't support webp so I do see some loading. I just had an idea to have a lil' gradient animation...that could work!

I haven't been super active on social media for the past month and that's because of the work I'm doing on my own. To manage images, I've created a service that converts jpg/png to webp. Only Chrome supports it natively but I have a hacky plugin that replaces webp with base64'd data in other browsers.

Nothing special, I'm most of the time at work and tired when I'm back at home... Not doing anything special for the time being... Pretty depressing

@lucian Is it a good idea to allow deletion of other people's comments on your post? I noticed a delete button and thought it was a bug but the comment was deleted!

I've registered for updates as it sounds pretty good; own your data, don't store passwords, etc. If you have an HN account, go to /new as I just posted it; upvote from there!

Indeed, waiting for the next episode... Have you watched the behind the scenes? They really put a lot of great work into this. It's impressive what they are doing in general and in particular with Unity in that case.
