35 years ago they wrote: "UNIX is not the end of the road in operating systems innovations, [...]" but it very much was the final word: Today the only OS's left are those which converged on "the UNIX model" and your mobile and your TV both run UNIX.

Your Samsung S3 camera can do much better than you've initially thought. 60 fps for all resolutions seems not to be a dream any more. For the moment, 30 Mbps in Superfine Mode sounds incredible. Other advantages: the phone still video records when the smartphone reaches 15% battery level, and much more tweaks. Read how you can download it.

Thank you!
The mystery of Duqu Framework solved
https://www.securelist.com/en/blog/677/The_mystery_of_Duqu_Framework_solved
Conclusions

The Duqu Framework consists of “C” code compiled with MSVC 2008 using the special options “/O1” and “/Ob1”

The code was most likely written with a custom extension to C, generally called “OO C”

The event-driven architecture was developed as a part of the Duqu Framework or its OO C extension

The C&C code could have been reused from an already existing software project and integrated into the Duqu trojan

All code can be released as open source, if that's a consideration for the right hacker.

Ask HN: Any areas or software missing from the "freelancer" suite?
There are certain aspects of what I like to call the "Freelancer suite," basically tools that are designed specifically with the freelancer or small web team in mind. They basically are: time tracking, invoicing, collaborating, organization, etc.

Certainly some of these areas are very well-covered and considerably crowded spaces, particularly team and client collaborating and invoicing. I was wondering if any of you saw areas or niches that were being underserved or all together missed?

Game Nation’s mission is to create a realistic experience that immerses the visitor into a story. By combining video game mechanics with interactive physical themed attractions, we are creating the world’s first Experiential Video Game Theme Park and Resort.

Can someone comment on Telesocial's API?
http://www.telesocial.com
Recently I read about a company doing a free voice API - Telesocial.com. They supposedly have a free voice api (I checked it out) that makes free mobile calls in the USA. What I want to understand is how is this possible, given that all other Voice API services charge money for this? Second question is their REST API. It seems to map / take ID's from other services (Twitter, Facebook, iOS and Android) and maps them to phone numbers. Why would I give them this info? I have tried to enter my user's into their API, but it makes each user verify / opt-in with a hard challenge. Is this replacicatable?

Show HN: I made an iOS app for HN instant browsing with searchable favorites
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tech-news-by-hacker-news/id1640448571
Hi, I made this app a few weeks ago, to solve the following problems: instantly browse HN stories and "hop" from story to story ; save and search favorites (which you can use to save a story for later reading)

As a bonus, the app also works on Mac.

Sometimes the title of a story doesn't do justice to the content, and this app makes sure you never miss an interesting one.
Show HN: Online S-Expression Formatter
https://xaedes.github.io/online-sexpr-format/
Recently a bunch of S-expressions where thrown at me and I quickly wanted to indent everything for better overview.

My editor wouldn't do it and I could not find any online tool for just indenting and minimizing such S-expressions. Can't be too hard I thought, so I made a small tool for this, hosted on github pages. It has super minimal interface and performs all formating on client-side in Javascript.

May it be of benefit to some of you

What do you think about app builders?
http://appmakr.com
I am thinking about creating an alpha version of an app to test if it generates traction at any level.

Given that I am not an iOS engineer (I just hustle code from time to time), I am wondering what real iOS engineers think about appmakr.com, ibuildapp.com or similar.

The app will give users several options and ask them to chose among them based on geolocation, the mechanics do not seem complicated, initially.

Would you (iOS eng) be able to take the code and improve it if a serious app needs to be built after alpha is proven to create traction? Or it'd be so bad that you'd suggest to start all over again at that point?

Would you recommend any of those services above the other? Any one of those is your preferred one?
Ask HN: Cloud-Localds Alternative for macOS?
I'm using qemu to build Ubuntu server VMs on my mac, and I want to use cloud-init to configure the VM. Everything works fine but there is one command I cannot run on my mac:

cloud-localds -v --network-config=network.cfg ubuntu.img cloud_init.cfg

I haven't found anything similar to cloud-localds available on Mac. So, it seems that in order to boot my Ubuntu VM I first need to boot another VM to run cloud-localds... a bit frustrating. Do you know how can I achieve the same as the command line above but in MacOS?

Weekend Project: Qitika Sage
I was watching some security lectures the other weekend with a friend and the conversation came up about encrypting messages over third party sites like Facebook and Twitter, when you only want to message one or a few people.

Not wanting to go through all the hassle of using another program to encrypt the message I started looking around for a bookmarklet but couldn't find one, so I wrote one myself.

Hopefully some of you guys can benefit from this as well.
