KaTeX is more likely to be useful out of the box to other developers, whereas the source of the mobile apps is not going to be a drop-in component that's useful; it'd have to be used more as a learning opportunity by interested devs. That's fine, but it's also a different market. In practical terms, the KA mobile apps also are much more KA-specific and need to be cleaned up before open-sourcing, and there's a worry that people would take the entire app and repackage it as their own (this happens all the time to open-sourced mobile apps, unfortunately). That said, open-sourcing the mobile apps is still something we want to do, so it may happen someday.

> "But you do what you have to to support your family, even if you never get to see them."

I understand why you would do this for your family, but surely there are other work options? If you're spending 2+ hours each way in a commute, that's roughly 1/4 of your waking time each work day. If you could take a small pay cut (retaining enough money to support your family) but get those 4+ hours of your time each work day back, would that be something you'd consider?
Can you share what is involved with this effort? It would be educational to the HackerNews community that is (understandably) quite angry at this decision. You can turn this into an educational effort on the state of app distribution.

Frankly, I have a hard time believing that your team couldn't have done this due diligence upfront, considering how rare it is that I encounter apps in my daily use that do not work seamlessly. I moved from North America to Europe 1 year ago, so this is something I have a lot of experience with. You could help me and others understand this better.
The FBI's Firefox Exploit
A good friend has an extensive pirated media content library.

He insists, and I believe him, that this is not primarily because he is unwilling to pay for the content, but simply because getting it on demand through a commercial channel is too difficult and inconsistent.
I see the "if you think fructose" is bad trope a lot, and I think it's dangerous.

In a natural environment, the only real sources of fructose are either fiber-heavy (most fruits) or somewhat rare (honey, berries).

Fructose is bad. It's certainly something that should be eaten in moderation.

Your food is not being engineered to be better for you. It's being engineered to be cheaper and easier to produce and sell. There are trade-offs.
Additionally, it's highly unlikely that potential users will bother continuously checking to determine if the restriction on their region has yet been lifted - given that they can continue to use the competition. Tomorrow I will have forgotten about this app.

This should have been sorted out before the launch.
Hindsight. Could have become VP or stayed with apple and gotten hit by a bus the next year. So many paths that could have played out as a lowly "programmer" and this person is just looking at his/her sister as if it's as simple as option A or option B and if only he/she picked the other. That's not life. I'm not down with this post.
Sorry, you're misinformed on what ESC and traction control do, it seems, and the rhetoric makes for a difficult conversation.

I didn't take them, I taught them.

We call the driver aids "nannies" in motorsports because they fix some driver errors. They limit control and input. They don't react for the driver. Interesting fact: A driver can out-brake ABS. The vast majority of motorsports competitors do regularly.

Great points there! Will definitely consider these during our R&D process. Thanks so much.

Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong's Interview with the Wall Street Journal
Thanks, updated the link!
Seems absurd to legislate this when there's a simple technical solution. If you don't want to allow "deep links" on a public web site, simply block any request where the HTTP referrer isn't from your domain (or from domains whose owners have paid you for linking rights, if you can find anyone inclined to do so.) You could go even further by encoding a base64-encoded expiration date + HMAC into the URL, so that your deep URLs can't be saved at all.

I think doing either of these things is silly - why even run a public web site if you're going to do this? But it's their site, and their right to make bad decisions with it.

If a site owner chooses not to do this, it's safe to assume they intended to allow deep links, since links are a fundamental, well-known feature of the medium they chose to use.

Nice write-up, would have loved to know how your current fund performs and who are the losers now.
Right. The idea being that the bottom two bits of words are tag bits. tadd dictactes that they have to be 0 for integers which means pointers are non-zero in their tags. Let's say the pointer tag is 1. That means to load a word from an object will have to compensate, eg.

car: ld r2, [r3-1]
ret
nop

If it happens that r3 _wasn't_ an object pointer, that load above would not be word aligned and thus trap. In other words, the hardware does the tag checking for you. (As an aside, the 486 introduced the option for making unaligned access trap, but AFAIK, no one has ever used it because you'd have to fix all the alignment assumptions in library code).
I've had success taking sleep even further. It seems that humans are polyphasic sleepers, just like most other mammals. I've found that I get tired after lunch, and benefit greatly from a 30-60 minute nap. The trick to getting the most out of polyphasic sleep is having a bedroom conducive to quality sleep - it should be cool, very dark, and very quiet. I use some opaque shades (shift shades) to block the light from the windows, and either a white noise machine or fan to ensure I'm relatively undisturbed by sounds outside my room.
www.canistream.it does some of this data aggregation. I believe the problem you would encounter if you put all of this into one slick interface and it became popular is that the VOD services would fight you.

They don't want you discovering what they don't offer. They want you to user their service. Otherwise you may find yourself using the other service more than theirs and cancel.

Plus this doesn't ultimately deal with the pain of dealing with multiple bills and, essentially, paying for the same thing multiple times where there is overlap.
Work fine on iOS safari
Thanks for your feedback thus far. Just wanted to add some more info on the tech we are looking into for this project: (Still in very crude R&D stages. May or may not work. But using a single source of energy is something that we are interested in, at this stage.)

1. IPL uses light pulsated at a very high wavelength and high spectral ranges, which destroy the hair. We are looking at a lower wavelength of light (IPL-lite), which would target only the chromophore in the hair. This will also de-risk the case of skin burns etc.

2. Heating is one way of doing it, but I'm not yet sure how effective this would be, in terms of quality, pre-heating (time and energy) etc. We want to build a solution that only uses one source of energy (potentially), in this case light.

3. Ideally, the v0.01 we are working on will have a fabric attached to the inside of the helmet which will measure your head coordinates. The mechanical components will then adjust the height of the diodes (which are evenly spaced on the inside of the helmet) and then start the IPL-lite process.

4. We are consulting a prof specializing in light emission and also have an "advisor" in a dermatologist/scientist specializing in cosmetic laser.

Image what the 'war on drugs' would look like as a 'war on tobacco' - drug prohibition causes very high levels of social problems, and doesn't eliminate consumption (or even dramatically decrease it, possibly, though the evidence is highly tendentious either way). It also isn't clear that tobacco smoked in small amounts (enjoy a cigar or two at the weekend) is a major health hazard.

I don't and never have smoked, but I think the freedom argument is pretty strong. Not allowing tobacco companies to lie about their product, is a good move. Banning them, not so much.
I thought the whole point of not doing mobile apps themselves was because it's a waste of engineering time since there's a massive community that will do the work for them. I would much rather see them focus on making the site better.
Visual Design for Business
So what defines a derived work? If you implement from scratch, but in order to implement must look at the existing implementation in order to get it correct, then it's possible (probable?) that the new implementation is directly derived from the original implementation.

It's not like Linux has a published license free spec. Unless they reverse engineered the system calls (possible but omg I think that would have been hard), then I'd be willing to bet that this could be easily considered derived work from the GPL.
It is perfectly legal to mention someone else's trademark.

This sounds like a cool idea. Which aspects of product ownership are you focused on first?

Also, have you considered working with related startups in the space? Two that come to mind are: Warranty Ninja [1] (automatic warranty registration of the products you buy), and Slice [2] (discount tracking and recall alerts).

Correct me if I am wrong, but won't latency be an issue if connecting to a DB via an API? I would imagine that would be a deal breaker for most (especially for me).
I think I now know why Reddit was so generous with all of the Gold. The app, although very fast and responsive on iOS, lacks many of the features that Alien Blue had. I could find zero integrations with any third party services. The cool thing about Alien Blue is, if I was a stoplight and didn't have time to read a linked article, I'd just add it to Pinboard and get back to it later.

Another major failing - there isn't an option to always open links in your browser of choice. At least use a Safari View Controller, for pete's sake.

EDIT: It looks like I can choose to share a link with the ... menu option. I can then share to my Pinner "Quick Save" option to save to Pinboard. Not sure how I missed it.

Well, sometimes the UX designer wants to change all the fonts in the interface at once (perhaps to a slightly different font). It is cumbersome to have to reposition all the texts in those cases, because many fonts have their baselines defined in a different way.

At other times, we may want the user to define/select the font, and keep the baselines at the same position.
Nice catch.

You are overthinking it. It's sound-bite-sized dietary advice.

The intent, I'm sure, is to advise people to avoid foods that have undergone an industrialized food-preparation process, to produce a shelf-stable product that can be shipped in cardboard boxes. As an aggregate, those foods are overwhelmingly prepared according to USDA and FDA recommendations, resulting in the very common replacement of fats with simple carbohydrates, addition of preservatives, and the use of additional additives to improve flavor and texture.

That maxim is to be applied in the grocery store, while looking at the product in your hand. If it's a bag of potato chips, you look at it and think, "how is this made?" Then you are supposed to remove the boiling in oil and the slicing, and buy raw, whole potatoes instead. If it's a package of Oreos, you're supposed to read the ingredients, be horrified at the claim that it is food, and perhaps buy a nice, crisp apple instead.

You're not going to achieve optimal nutrition with sound-bite-sized dietary advice, but if there isn't a lot of space left in your brain's on-die cache, it could help to avoid making the most horrible dietary decisions. But only if it is good bite-sized advice.

If you decide to only eat "natural" foods, you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. And also, you may have a bizarre and nonsensical concept of what is "natural". But it will probably stop you from eating the foods most highly suspected of causing health problems, such as those containing trans-fats, fructose, or poor Na:K or Ca:Mg proportions.
Thanks, I added them.

I do agree that "marketing" is a big part of the problem. We're told over and over that it's hard, and the only time we're told it's easy is when someone is trying to sell us some weight loss program.

The first step to winning the battle is gaining some awareness. Barring any pre-existing condition (especially diabetes), someone who wants to lose weight should simply start eating less, and slowly so they can gradually get used to it. Food is so abundant, it's usually not lack of food that makes people feel hungry, but lack of feeding the food addiction, especially addiction to added sugars. People should try fasting every once in a while just to see they can do it and they won't suffer ill effects from feeling hungry for ~16 hours.

The biggest obstacle is convincing yourself you can do it.

The expiration date+HMAC is still an option. Plus, the number of users blocking referrer headers is probably small enough that a site owner doing this wouldn't care. And browsers dropping the header from HTTPS -> HTTP isn't an issue if you only want to allow access from your own domain. (If you want to authorize third-party sites that use HTTPS, you'd just have to use HTTPS yourself.)
CraigsList and Facebook are neither ugly nor messy. They're functional given their needs.

That's the single right way to do things.
>I think a better heuristic, is "Just eat what your great-grandma ate"

Unfortunately that's not always possible as we have selectively bred over time for appearance, size and/or sugar content in our fruits, vegetables and even meat at the expense of macro- and micronutrients.

We have also begun overly sanitizing our foods, pasteurizing everything and adding antibiotics to the detriment out our gut microbiome.

In many cases the food our great grandmas ate doesn't exist anymore.
I wonder who came up with the "Bash on Windows" tagline. That was a really smart idea. I think most of us would have run with "Emulated Linux syscall layer from user mode processes on Windows". Promoting bash specifically seems to me like engineering marketing genius -- less technically knowledgeable people are more likely to be familiar with bash, while the more knowledgeable are going to think "wait...what? how do they do that? that would mean...", which works better than simply saying what they have done.

The new face of Facebook: How to win friends and influence people
>> I'm curious how you assume this or what papers you read that makes you think this.

Purely anecdotal, but it happened to me zillions of times that I got completely stuck at a problem at work, only to solve it within a few minutes the next day. I've yet to come across a single developer who doesn't acknowledge that kind of experience is very common. I see it regularly, the longer coworkers trudge along trying to get something done after 10 hours of work, the more problems and crap they produce.

I'm not sure why you need more 'proof' that working long hours kills productivity and creativity, and rest (sleep) replenishes it. It seems completely natural, both from experience and from an evolutionary perspective.
How to robot-proof your children’s careers
Countries can lean on Google and Apple and say "Get this app out of my country." We are rolling out one by one so that we can stay on top of the content reports. Reddit has a lot of potentially controversial content and countries have various levels of sensitivity to that. It would be counter productive to go global now, get banned in a bunch of places, and then have to fight protracted battles in a bunch of different places to get back into those stores. See: Secret in Brazil.
What I don't understand is why is reddit putting so much effort in their own apps now when there are very good 3rd party apps available?

Is the end goal to take control of mobile and close down the API so they can shove ads down peoples throats?
