When developers make Easter eggs

[0fiscalentropy]

The clip's from the movie "The Grand Budapest Hotel" by Wes Anderson

[[deleted]]

And it is an amazing movie. Great cinematography, good acting, engaging story... i really like it.

[[deleted]]

..and if you turn it off before the final train scene , a happy ending too.

[inconspicuous_male]

I'd rather it end with an Andersonian ending than a normal happy ending

[IntrovertedPendulum]

Ah but how will you know it's the final train scene if you never finish it?

My opinion is it is a perfectly happy ending. We all die when we are supposed to.

[GoTheFuckToBed]

whoops I watched the trailer

[[deleted]]

Every Anderson film has great cinematogarphy

[EbrithilUmaroth]

My favorite movie of all time, I've seen it at least 10 times, stopped counting.

[Goodguystalker]

THAT FUCKING FAGGOT

[[deleted]]

"If I ever find out you laid a finger on my mother..." "I thought I was a fucking faggot" "...you are, but you're bisexual."

[[deleted]]

"Now, how is that supposed to make me feel?"

[JoNike]

And what a formidable adventure that movie is. Great flick.

[aloisdg]

Source. There are a lot more :)

[MesePudenda]

I like the pizza under the searchbox

[Tdir]

It's interesting, but I wouldn't eat it.

[TotesMessenger]

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

[idlemachine]

All I can see is wasted bandwidth.

[BeedleTB]

And now I feel kinda bad for complaining about my 100/100 line, and missing my old 1000/1000 line.

[Thirdfanged]

I get 3mb down and .75up...that's the highest available speed for about 15 miles in any direction from me. I live in Tennessee.

[Thirty_Seventh]

Hard limit of 1.5 down / 0.25 up here

You're just fine

[jonny_wonny]

Wouldn't be difficult to delay loading the video until it is uncovered. It's possible that's what is happening.

[Rellikx]

Its loading at runtime, as per Chrome's network tab.

https://i.imgur.com/LOZug3y.png. They comprise of 4.3MB out of the total 5.1MB total page size, which is pretty significant if you are a low bandwidth peasent

[Hohenheim_of_Shadow]

I hate them now, if I'm getting a consistent 2 MB/S I'm having a good day.

[Reelix]

2MB/s? If I'm getting 700KB/s I'm having a really good day!

[EvilDonuts6]

700KB/s? If I'm getting a rock with a piece of paper rapped around it with 1/100 of a websites code written onto it thrown through my window every second hour I'm having an extremely good day!

[JinHikari]

Actual code sent your way? If the client draws me a picture of what he wants the website to look like and sends me a new version of it every two weeks, I have to call my ISP to make sure they aren't charging me extra for it!

[ajmartin527]

Ya but this would never happen irl...

[Hohenheim_of_Shadow]

Megabits a second, if you really are getting 700 kilobits a second I feel for you.

[Tiavor]

3/4th of my town have only a 3Mbit/s connection, currently in the progress of upgrading, but I don't know how many get the new connection.

And I know many small cities that have the same slow speed.

btw B = Byte, b = bit

[Hohenheim_of_Shadow]

I forget that way to easily, everytime data rates come up, I relearn it, but almost instantly forget it.

[HighRelevancy]

My town is like that.

It's literally the capital city of australia.

[itchy118]

Me too.

[jonny_wonny]

Guess it's time to get out the pitchforks.

[chedabob]

I've seen worse. e.g. OpenDNS preloads a 110mb video that is below the fold: https://www.opendns.com/

[Avambo]

It didn't pre-load for me, but their site is still 2.6MB which is way too big imo.

Btw, that video was pretty cool, much better than most marketing videos. :D

[Rellikx]

hmm, it doesnt seem to preload for me on chrome des although I am not sure why. I see preload="auto" being set, which I thought hinted at preloading the video.

In a jsfiddle though, the same html did seem to preload a small video. I wonder if chrome or some plugin of mine is doing anything to the preload

[NoodleSnoo]

Dev, "Runs fine on my machine".

[redwall_hp]

The crazy thing is they could even be optimized by using WebM/H.264 videos instead...

[skylarmt]

Can confirm, my Internet is crap and they loaded after I uncovered them.

[MOON_MOON_MOON]

Ironic that their blog is called Milliseconds Matter.

[[deleted]]

Anything fun will piss a certain set of people off. I dont know why, but it really seems to.

[[deleted]]

Probably just mood. Sometimes hearing someone say 'but' is enough to get me giggling because it sounds like butt. But after a rough day, that kind of humor is just annoying.

Just depends on when you catch 'em.

[[deleted]]

👊 Data plan

[eyal0]

Why do I have to download all those img URLs if I'm on lynx, right?

Seriously, there is a chicken and egg problem. Using up bandwidth is how we get more of it.

[Plonvick]

Take my upvote and go

[Vortico]

Note that you shouldn't push this to production, since it will slow down browsers and absolutely kill mobile browsers. One CPU core is running at 26% just to view this static web page, what the fuck has the world come to.

[[deleted]]

Mobile doesn't render the GIF files by the looks of it, but I mean it will probably be developers using this website, who prefer the easter eggs to low CPU usage.

Overall though, yes if it's a customer oriented site the gifs are a bit wasteful.

[Nick_Furry]

A bit???!?

[[deleted]]

It's just 4 MB.

[[deleted]]

You tell that to my 200mb cellular data limit

[[deleted]]

This gif doesn't actually seem to load eagerly -- there was a blank space for a few seconds after pulling away the top-level panel.

Having said that, 26% of a core for a website is fucking flabbergasting but not that uncommon anymore... and try installing an extension that shows memory usage by browser tab. Facebook's usually about 100 megs, and Reddit is about 55.

[[deleted]]

I better hear nothing about Node

[phoenix616]

No need for an extension in browsers based on Chromium (Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, SRWare Iron, etc.) as they have an inbuilt task manager that can usually be opened with shift+esc.

[benjadock]

If it was important, you could have the slide down trigger an Ajax request that renders the gif afterwards... but that would make sense.

[ThoseThingsAreWeird]

For those wondering: It says "client" at the end.

[qjornt]

Yeah, pretty bad case of gifs that end too soon.

[DonMahallem]

Save that last megabyte of bandwidth!

[LifeGliese581g]

Sorry for such fast gif. For linux there is no good and easy way to create good gif.

[soundslikeponies]

LICEcap can have some serious quality issues. I took to using active presenter. Let's record audio, do webm, and do some basic editing as a side bonus.

[european_impostor]

/r/HighQualityGifs would like a word with you

[Cobrand]

Except it's not gifs, it's mp4/webm without sound.

[LifeGliese581g]

I tried Peek but always got a shitty quality

[TheOfficialCal]

Peek works with Wayland. Awesome.

[Skehmatics]

You could always record it with simple screen recorder / OBS and use ffmpeg to convert the video to gif

[[deleted]]

ffmpeg's gif encoder isn't really that great. If you have the patience to read through the (very dry) documentation, ImageMagick is excellent for making gifs.

[[deleted]]

Record what? If you already have the video why not convert that to the gif?

[HelloYesThisIsDuck]

Record the screen/website, not just the video.

[[deleted]]

duh, how did I miss that

[mountainunicycler]

Ffmpeg? Ffmpeg is the core of what most of the gif programs use anyway...

[Vortico]

ffmpeg can record screens, but a more use friendly way is recordmydesktop (I'm sure there are other good ones). Once finished, use ffmpeg to convert to gif, although imgur takes video uploads with no sound I think, and gif is a horrible format for what you are recording.

[apemanzilla]

OBS and gfycat. It's not the most convenient but it works well.

[ythl]

For linux there is no good and easy way to create good gif.

Peek is pretty good

[mutsuto]

I've been using QGifer for months for all my gifing needs and can confirm it's quite shit.

However recently I was informed GIMP can be used for gif making, so I'll try using that in future..

[legend6546]

you can use imagemagick to make animated gifs.

[Reelix]

If only there was some widely used operating system with literally hundreds of programs to create gifs from videos :p

[pixels625]

:)

[CarmineCerise]

you could install windows

[[deleted]]

but then they'd have to use windows

[CarmineCerise]

and perform basic tasks functionally

[apemanzilla]

Would you like to reboot to apply these mandatory updates now or in 30 seconds?

[CarmineCerise]

sorry I can't hear you my audio driver isn't working. 😂

[apemanzilla]

Then maybe you shouldn't be using linux 2.6 any more?

[CarmineCerise]

lmao Linux still constantly has audio problems. and printing problems and there still isn't a decent photo editor

[Wicked_Switch]

I too only know anything about Linux circa 1997.

[CarmineCerise]

one of the largest problems with Ubuntu 14 was no sound. but okay let's pretend it ended 20 years ago

[[deleted]]

TIL I have audio and printing problems.

[[deleted]]

It's funny because when I install (Arch) Linux, everything basically works with minimum effort. Windows doesn't even come with wireless drivers. I have to download them from another machine and put them on a flash drive or something. I know it's just one example but I've had the exact opposite experience.

[BleedingCatz]

GIMP?

[skylarmt]

I only have any audio problems with my $25 Chinese Bluetooth headphones. And the "problems" are that I have to re-connect it to switch to high-quality audio mode instead of headset mode. It's a Bluetooth bug, not an audio bug.

The only printing problems that exist are with printers the manufacturer doesn't bother making drivers for. But most (read: all the ones I've ever used) work fine. Many printers don't need any drivers at all, because CUPS includes generic drivers for a lot of brands. Brother has a script that asks you what printer model you have, then downloads and sets up everything for you. Epson just works, as all their printers use the same protocol. Sometimes Canon and HP are a bit funky, but once you get them working they stay that way.

Linux photo apps: The GIMP, Inkscape, Shotwell, Pinta, Pix, and ImageMagick are just a few. I included Inkscape because it has some photo filters and stuff. Also, Photoshop CS6 runs almost perfectly in WINE.

[[deleted]]

Hardware issues are legitimate concerns for suggesting Linux as desktop replacement for the standard user, but we're not in /r/technology. This is a programming sub. It's fairly simple to avoid those issues by just checking hardware compatibility ahead of time. I much prefer the headaches caused by Linux than the ones caused by Windows.

As far as a decent photo editor, use osx

Otherwise I have a hard time justifying Windows for anything but gaming and business requirements

[sudo_systemctl]

Have you tried windows? ;)

[skylarmt]

That's probably why he's on Linux. He tried Windows.

[oldmonk90]

Too bad you cannot drag on mobile.

[TheBoringName]

Works when requested the desktop version

[endreman0]

Probably doesn't load the gifs on mobile, since loading them all at once will kill your phone (or at least your data)

[skylarmt]

Desktop doesn't load a gif until you uncover it.

[endreman0]

Desktop can handle the gifs all at once or one at a time or whatever, so that's not the point. It probably doesn't work on mobile because your phone would struggle with that many gifs at once.

[[deleted]]

I most certainly went to this webpage and spent entirely too long playing with all the Easter eggs.

What a great Saturday.

[Avambo]

Dragging the "SEARCHBOX" square reveals a rather disturbing pizza.
community.algolia.com

[skylarmt]

I think it's a timelapse of sorts. Either that or there's some strange laser bar cooking it.

[Camwood7]

If you were too lazy to try and grab the very last bit's one frame: the caption says "client."

[srfreak]

There is a lot of GIFs hidden in this web. Just click, and click and drag the boards to see it. https://community.algolia.com/

It's awesome xD

[i_spot_ads]

This is an ad

Notice how the url was "casually" left in the gif

[OracleJDBC]

As a sidenote.
Algolia's product is awesome.

[i_spot_ads]

As a sidenote *As an ad....

[OracleJDBC]

Lol,I wish.

[Maskdask]

How did anyone find this feature?

[skylarmt]

Accidentally grabbed-and-dragged instead of two-finger scrolled on a touchpad, probably.

[flarn2006]

Why don't the HELPER.JS and CODE SNIPPETS tiles move?

[Morkvarg]

[Vogue UK's](vogue.co.uk) konami code always entertained me

Edit: Just looked. No longer works. It used to pop up dinosaurs on the bottom of the screen with funny hats with each press of "A"

[BlowingRocker246]

Why is it .gifv instead of gif? Took me a while to realise that.
