Dear News.YC: please review my Mac app, Evom
http://thelittleappfactory.com/evom/
As I imagine a lot of people have Macs here, I thought it appropriate to post this. It's a desktop app for ripping videos from the web and converting movies to a format suitable for iTunes & iPod. So those bittorrent videos can finally find a place in iTunes & your iPod. You can rip movies straight from YouTube by dragging the url icon into the app.
Show HN my Hackathon Project: Visual Craigslist w/ HN's algorithm
http://5thavenue.chartboost.com/
The concept was to rethink the way we browsed Craigslist and shopped online. The main section, the "homepage" is a tree map of recent craigslist posting sorted by popularity using a slightly modified version of Hacker News' ranking algorithm.

The newest page is a masonry view of the realtime stream of the craiglist posts as they are added to the system (much like Hacker News' newest page.)

The top page is the masonry view version of the homepage.

The game page is a FaceMash-like game for the posts, which influences the overall scores and popularity of items.

65,000 Android Phones Shipped Daily
http://blog.appboy.com/2010/05/65000-android-phones-shipped-daily/
The competition in the smartphone market is most definitely heating up. While most people, or at least most geeks (let’s be honest, chances are you are one) hear constantly about iPhone sales and Apple’s increased dominance in this space, the truth is Apple is not even close to Nokia or RIM when it comes to phones sold globally.

Ask HN: How do you guys deal with laziness?
Hello everyone!

I usually think of myself as a curious, open-minded person. When I think about things they are all sounds interesting to me, especially if they are connected to technology.

Unfortunatelly, the last week shows that I just cannot win with my laziness. I spend all the time lurking on the internet or watching youtube vides. I've tried ti blocked time-wasting pages (like 9gag/reddit/etc.) but it clearly didn't help at all. I have a lot of books and articles to read, topics to explore, projects to finish but every time when I'm trying to dig into it I end up feeling tired and resigned. It really makes me worry about myself, because I'm wasting so much time!

What can I do to improve my attitude toward useful areas of my life and convince myself to stop wasting time?

Street-Fighting Mathematics is published under CC [pdf]

People seemed pretty interested in this book being published. I recently discovered that it's under a Creative Commons license, so enjoy!

Sanjoy also has previous course material floating around (eg. Order of Magnitude Physics) and if anybody has links to those or comments I'm sure people would appreciate that.

Wordle in Python using literate programming
https://jiby.tech/project/literate_wordle/wordle.html
Hey HN!

I wanted to demo TDD with Python, as well as showcase some BDD practices I've been blogging about recently[1].
So I used literate programming to implement Wordle, and rendered the narrative into this "Show HN" webpage.

I'm certainly no Knuth, but I'm pretty proud of the result. Proud enough to chance myself to a HN post, and risk HN's mockery and ire: my first "Show HN".

I hope this crowd will enjoy this annotated walkthrough of Wordle implementation in Python. Codebase available on Github[2].

Relevant for folks here (though not covered in the main narrative) is how the Gherkin files are listed as Requirements[3] via Sphinxdocs extensions[4]

The tourist map of flash drives
http://things.gnod.com/flashdrives/
I made this map of the 200 most popular flash drives on Amazon today. It looks a bit like a mandelbrot set :)

I made this for myself, because I wanted to have an overview of whats available. Do you think this is something people want? It could easily be extended to ssd-drives, monitors and whatnot.

700,000 Android devices activated each day
https://plus.google.com/112599748506977857728/posts/PLAaEFy1fNa
Andy Rubin: "There are now over 700,000 Android devices activated every day."

"...and for those wondering, we count each device only once (ie, we don't count re-sold devices), and "activations" means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service."
Show HN: SymForce – Fast symbolic computation, code generation, and optimization
https://github.com/symforce-org/symforce
Author here. I’m unreasonably excited to share this library that we’re open-sourcing today — our team has been building it for five years and these ideas have been a passion of mine for fifteen.

SymForce is a library that makes it easy to code a problem once in Python with an augmented SymPy API (backed by C++), experiment with it symbolically, generate optimized code in C++ or any backend language, and then run highly efficient nonlinear optimization problems based on the original problem definition. This workflow elegantly solves a wide variety of tasks in robotics and related domains, and can speed up common tasks by an order of magnitude while requiring less handwritten code and reducing the surface area for bugs. See our paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.07889 for experiments (accepted to RSS 2022).

We developed it at Skydio for real-time robotics algorithms like SLAM, calibration, bundle adjustment, MPC, and system identification on our drones. It’s a key pillar of our autonomy stack that has accelerated our iteration cycle from prototypes to production systems. We are releasing it to benefit the open-source community, and think its components are useful to anyone writing algorithmic code, like students, research teams, and tech companies.

You can pip install it, play around with a formulation in a notebook, and deploy production code in a couple of hours. Try it at https://github.com/symforce-org/symforce

Why business analysts and project managers get higher salaries than programmers?
http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/45776/why-do-business-analysts-and-project-managers-get-higher-salaries-than-programmer/45814#45814
Whether project managers get higher salaries than programmers and business analysts at all exist as a class depends squarely on the software world you live in.
Show HN: Minimax – A Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU
https://github.com/gsmecher/minimax
RISC-V's compressed instruction (RVC) extension is intended as an add-on to the regular, 32-bit instruction set, not a replacement or competitor. Its designers intended RVC instructions to be expanded into regular 32-bit RV32I equivalents via a pre-decoder.

What happens if we explicitly architect a RISC-V CPU to execute RVC instructions, and "mop up" any RV32I instructions that aren't convenient via a microcode layer? What architectural optimizations are unlocked as a result?

"Minimax" is an experimental RISC-V implementation intended to establish if an RVC-optimized CPU is, in practice, any simpler than an ordinary RV32I core with pre-decoder. While it passes a modest test suite, you should not use it without caution. (There are a large number of excellent, open source, "little" RISC-V implementations you should probably use reach for first.)

Show HN: I learned to code to launch my new startup
https://www.uncover.com/
Please check it out. I spent all of 2012 learning to code to launch what would eventually become Uncover. I'm super excited to announce that we're finally live.

Here's a blog post I wrote on how we got there and a little story behind the startup: http://spencerfry.com/introducing-uncover
Show HN: I made a site where you can travel in space in your browser
https://spaceinbrowser.com/
I made this site using R3F (https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber), a React renderer for 3JS (https://threejs.org/).

The celestial bodies are Three.JS meshes.

I used loaders (namely 'useLoader' from R3F and 'GLTFLoader' from 3JS) to import 3D models, such as International Space Station. More on loading models in R3F: https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/tutorials/loading-mod...

I've future plans for this side project. It would be great to hear from the HN community before diving into them. Enjoy!

P.S: Getting an empty (probably black) screen? This app shows up in browsers that support WebGL2.0 (most modern browsers do). Check this site to see whether your browser supports WebGL2.0: https://get.webgl.org/webgl2/

P.S.S: There'll probably be responsive design issues. I'd highly encourage you to use a desktop version or rotate to landscape while using a mobile version.
Tor: Directly connecting users from Turkey

After having censored the turkish people via DNS and thus restricting their access to Twitter everyone moved on to other DNS Services like Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and OpenDNS. Earlier today an IP-Ban was issued and immediately Tor-Usage from Turkey starts rising. What a magnificent people. Keep on fighting!
I’ve been building a database of successful companies
https://www.starterstory.com/explore
5 years ago, after failing with a startup idea and being rejected from YC, I started interviewing founders with the hopes of learning what it takes to find a good idea and build a successful business.

I posted these case studies online (started as a side project) and eventually it turned into a business, and started making enough money for me to go full time on it (starterstory.com).

For the last 5 years I’ve been collecting data for each company we interview, such as revenue, startup costs, age of the company, gross margin, what channels they used to grow, and a ton more.

I’ve put all of this into a searchable, sortable, filterable database and I wanted to get HN’s opinion on the tool, and if you find the data / information useful? Also, would love to hear what other data points you think we should be collecting, or features we should add!

The tool is built with Rails, Postgres database, search functionality using Elasticsearch, and it’s hosted on Heroku.

I built a vector map from scratch
https://ckochis.com/building-a-vector-map-from-scratch
Hi HN

I've used a lot of vector maps in the past, and was always fascinated by the technology, so I decided to try and build one from scratch as a way to learn more about how it works, and also as a reason to (finally) learn WebGL.

I've uploaded the source to GitHub https://github.com/kochis/webgl-map

Hope someone finds it useful / informative, and open to any feedback or tips as well. Cheers!
