Ask HN: How best can i learn assembly and reverse programing?
Am a computer student from Africa Uganda. I've tried my best to learn assembly and reverse programing from online resources but i have found it pretty hash to understand. Since most of the you here are professions, i know the probability of finding someone who can give me the best advice is high. Thank you all.
That's the thing though. You're bedroom could be art.

No reason it couldn't be.

I think his fundamental challenge is you don't experience a game as much as you play a game. You don't play art as much as you experience art.

My question is, why do we need to define games as art? Games are so much more than art. So much more engaging. They offer so much more than mere art.

Games, at their core, encompass so much more than experience, that to limit themselves to just being art is almost an insult.

Games have been around far longer than art. Games have taught us far more than art. Games continue to push human kind forward. Games are our past, present, and future.

Art might be experienced, but games are lived.

We may have tested one to many nuclear warheads in our time but for the most part they did lead to a better understanding. The fallout's damage is negligible.
In the eye candy department... Anyone notice the new effects on the tab rollover? Nice fading gradient and slick animation if you then hover over a different one.

Not that WebM and Geolocation aren't cool too...
You could deploy it as a sibling process rather than a child. I would never deploy Passenger Lite really by itself -- I'd use god (like monit, but in Ruby) to run it, even if it's just one process. So making that two processes, one non-ruby, is easy.
It may very well be that your strategy provides better returns for less effort than the alternatives.

I'm simply saying that, as a potential customer, it doesn't look like that on its face, and you need to convince me to buy in. A good way to convince me is with a success story.
Yow! It makes me really happy that the first image on the web was a girl band, and not just any girl band, but french-speaking scientist girls. We should have seen youtube coming far earlier than we did, apparently..
Do you really value benchmarks over the general usability and usefulness of a web browser? I love Opera and could not care less how fast its Javascript or rendering engines are. Unless pages are abusing them or have bugs, it just does not matter to me.
Perhaps it would be good to have a page on UseTheSource that explicitly links to those directories.
Mastering the essay writing technique could take you places
One of the most important academic tasks which students have to master is their essay writing technique. With good organization, outlining, cohesion and relevance you will be able to write an essay which has your very own technique perfected.
In the cashless world, as long as I can transfer funds to an individual or B2C without transaction headaches or fees (like you can now with paper checks), I'm game.
My first submission and looks like text is not being shown together with title.. So i'll repeat it here. Basically, I've got tired of task managers that add overhead with buttons and page reloads, so hacked this one for my own use in few hours. I'm curious if there's enough interest to continue development. Features could include task sharing/delegation between users, tasks due highlighting/alerts, etc.
Not so. The MacRuby team had already thought up a number of ideas for working around the lack of a garbage collected runtime (the most promising was similar to the direction Apple's going with Objective-C, where retain and release happen automatically based on policies). They never got implemented because Apple instituted the ban on programming languages right around the same time.
This is huge news. I wonder if we'll see this redesign throughout sometime soon? I think I like the white background, but I'm going to be nostalgic for the old CL look, for sure.
I'm a big fan of Superfeedr and the work Julien is doing with it... but a serious problem with a keyword product based on RSS ingest is that many RSS feeds are not 'full-content' and so the keyword searching is patchy.

In the case of 'short form' RSS feeds, you are not going to get a match if your keyword is mentioned repeatedly in a given article, but not in the first paragraph - which is what is published in the RSS feed, and thus ingested by Superfeedr

While it is probably fair to say that the majority of RSS feeds Superfeedr is tracking are 'full-content', the head of the long tail (ie the mainstream news sources, top blogs, etc) where much of the value is are the least likely to offer full content RSS feeds (they are old-skool thinking and want you to click through to the mother ship).

What is a shame, I think, is that none of these services (there are a few now in this space) are really upfront about this massive short-coming, which at a technical level they must be aware of.

Given that I'm making a bit of a bash at providers in this space, I should probably disclose that NewsBasis (a company I previously co-founded and have an interest in, but no longer working with) is in the process of solving this problem as part of their wider product offering. Which is why I've spent time thinking about this problem, but perhaps also biased. However, I'm hoping once this is stable there might be an opportunity to create an API off the back of the keyword piece.
Hes right, Im sure a fix is on its way.
You guys do know that there is no full color pixel?
At least when i look at the recent display comparisons, it's always a matrix of different red, green, blue pixels:

Thanks greatly for your post.

I had the misfortune of reading the earlier comments and writing this off as a trivial accomplishment that could be disregarded, but now I know it is actually a useful tool to have in my arsenal.
A lot of it has to do with search revenue. For example, Google pays big bucks to be the start page for FireFox (and they used to for Opera as well). Microsoft wants every browser to open to Bing.

Just some aesthetic advice ... your site feels "heavy" and somewhat dated.

Try changing the content area to use a white background, and brighten up the header and footer. The colors you use on the forum section of the site are closer to what I'd aim for.
Tesla update electric Roadster to version 2.5
We just released our 1st Open Source Project, PyFrogger, what do you think HN?
Apple did it with iPod/iPhone/iPad.

Sure mp3 players, multi-touch phones and tablet devices was there even before Apple released theirs. But can you dismiss their contribution in innovation in this sectors? Apple virtually, single-handedly created markets for these devices. Everyone flowed after them.

Same can said about Kindle. There e-readers before kindle, but amazon jump started the market with their innovation on the device.

I am sure I can find examples of few other tech companies who have done massive innovations if I took some time to research. But MSFT, being the top 5 richest/largest tech company in the world have done very little (if any) innovations that made the world follow them.
For God's sake, someone please install Braid on this man's laptop.
I disagree. This should absolutely not be an issue in a 4th generation phone.
The Xbox also had class action lawsuits filed regarding "red ring of death" issue, but at least you can still use your iPhone with this issue.

This is what irks me about the description of the iPhone's antenna as a "fatal design flaw". If there's a line between defective design as opposed to just a minor issue, it looks like the iPhone4's antenna suffers from the latter. Do we get class action lawsuits against Microsoft for Windows crashes? Or Android over its lousy music player? Do those flaws get this much attention? Why not just sue AT&T for dropped calls? It's essentially the same result as the iPhone antenna problem.
Who cares if the product is hyped or not. Who cares if the guy next door already has one.

I don't use google for search because everyone else does, I use it because it works for me. If I start to find that Bing works better, I'll switch to that. Who cares if everyone else is using google or not.

Saying you don't want to use an iPhone because it's too locked up makes sense, even though I don't agree with that position. Saying you don't want to use an iPhone because of hype and fashion, that's cutting off your nose to spite your face.

why is this downvoted? i completely agree.
I was under the impression that left handed people naturally hold the phone in the problematic position? Is that not true? It's estimated 10% of people are left handed, that probably translates into about 10% of iPhone owners seeing as your handedness has little to do with your penchant for trendy gadgets.
As an electrical engineer (by way of physics and math), I'll use any other damn letter that makes sense for current that you want, and try to sway my fellows too. I just haven't seen a good option yet. What have you got?

"c"... no good, speed of light for one; and also current needs good a good alteration for DC vs AC, "c" and "C" look too similar when written by someone else's hand (and "C" is crap in equations anyway since it can look too much like a "("). Current is a flow, but "f" is well used. Any good suggestions?
I'm not sure this is an actual change vs. a DNS issue.

If it is a redesign, it's rather terrible from a UI perspective:

a) The four column design is hopelessly confusing at first glance since people read from left to right - not up-and-down and then by column.

b) The "black" but non-bolded state names / titles don't draw the eye like they should and blend in with the sub-content.

c) The lack of any sort of welcome or messaging other than the brand title is a perplexing choice. Yes most people know what CraigsList is but why not reinforce with messaging?

7 Ways To Search The Photosphere
Honestly my iPhone 4 works just fine. Bad reception where I had bad reception with the old one, and good one where it was good before. I was able to replicate the problem only holding the phone in a very un-natural way and in an area with bad reception.
Fair enough. I suggest HTC would still win on a usability test: not many people identify a white orb with blue dots as being a globe.
Steve's comment makes sense from his buddhist perspective:
Life is suffering and suffering comes from attachment.
He clearly wants iphone owners who are attached to their phones to suffer :)
Every politically-interested hacker should read that entire series of posts. It's the closest you can get right now to reading a history of the past couple hundred years from a 23rd century perspective, in the sense of "one you will find completely different", a perspective in which an obsession with democracy may be seen as quaint as we now perceive monarchies. For me, the point is less whether he convinces you he is correct in every particular than getting exposed to a truly different perspective.

IE reverses usage share slide; Microsoft cheers
Heart filling post. I never owned a nokia phone neither did I read the blog. But something about the two authors losing there passion for something they loved so dearly makes me feel sad.

Its funny that this got posted here. My friends and I were discussing just this morning. Everybody agreed that all nokia phones were sluggish and had ugly interface. My personal opinion is that fastest phones are released by Samsung(this might be biased as I use a Samsung Corby) and the best quality in accessories like camera and music is from sony ericsson.(Remember that we were talking about low budget phones so that rules out Nexus One and iPhone). I have used N97 myself and found it sluggish and ugly. Sure I was first excited by the hinged slider screen, but apart from that there is nothing special about it.

BTW the nokia phone I like the most would definitely be 1108. Sure its black and white but its fast, it has high quality of signal and it so reliable that even if I throw it on the wall and put the pieces back together it would bloody work.
I'm guessing it's more than "several hundred dollars" if the guy signed a two-year contact.

He's stuck with this phone for two years.
This along with a word limit to new laws (1 page), and version control, so that instead of adding 100 pages amending 1000 random clauses, we, you know actually amend the document.
The little signal bars use an algorithm to represent the constantly moving signal-to-noise ratio. The problem with them is that we know nothing about what's inside the algorithm. From observing the output of field test mode on an older iPhone, I gather this:

* The bars represent a moving average (instantaneous readouts aren't very usable anyway)

* There is a delay in what is reported, even when accounting for the moving average; conceivably to prevent jumpy reports

* The bars use some type of logarithmic scale, which makes sense when you understand digital signal degradation
I'd contend that old G4TV, when it was TechTV, and before that ZDTV had some interesting cable television content.

http://revision3.com/ has a bunch of technology shows and a couple hacker oriented ones.

I've always thought that a television network aimed at startups of all types and starting a small business, maybe a variant of CNBC with a startup focus would do well, given the large number of people with the dream of having their own business.
Is a system in which a large number of citizens must be intimately aware of the intricacies of a huge and complex set of legal code a well-factored system? Isn't that a bit like the passengers of an airplane instructing the pilot on how to fly?

Under our current system in the U.S., not even the representatives and senators themselves write, let alone read the legislation they're voting on (http://www.govtrackinsider.com/articles/2010-03-24/whowrites...). The lay-person has far more personal challenges to address (e.g. family, career) than educating themselves in legal-speak in order to comprehend legal code itself.[1]

Better, I think to use causes to abstract and simplify the underlying legislation, as I'm attempting to do in http://votereports.org - which is akin to telling the pilot where you want to go, rather than how to fly.

Incidentally, there are a number of sites which enable you to indicate support for bills under consideration, to varying effect, including votereports, lawilike on facebook, visiblevote, opencongress, newballot and certainly others.

[1] As it is, media and bloggers don't even link to the bills they write about: http://infovegan.com/2010/06/19/bloggers-and-bills/. Personally I take this to be an indication of how little demand for and comprehension of this info on the reader side.
I agree, one of the things chrome has made me accustomed to is the ability to resize mutliline text boxes. I realize the zero click box is not a multiline text box, but unconscionably I find myself trying to drag the corner to make it larger.
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1023663 this is presumably the story you wanted to mention

Sadly, the link was just to the main page and none of the several ways I tried (mediawiki's history, api, Special:Export, archive.org, or any of the wikileaks mirrors I tried) allowed me to figure out what their request actually was.
What's the point of accepting for filing (during which for many things you don't submit the record to the IRS anyway), and not accepting for audit? That seems more backward than even I'd expect the IRS to be.

The link you sent doesn't seem to back up your claim that paper records are required. As far as I can read, it simply states that if you keep records digitally that they must be kept to certain standards. Those standards seem in line with the initial submission standards.

It then references 97-22.
Might be just window-dressing, but this Conservative/LibDem coalition continues to surprise and impress me with their pragmatic approach to governance.
Just knowing the kind of character that Steve Jobs is portrayed as being, I can hardly believe he actually said those words. They usually have an insert with his email header and signature when they post these kinds of comments (not like that couldn't be faked).

Anyway, something smells fishy.

A law is only good if you can enforce it... and I don't see anyway you could enforce any of these. So what would be the point? And do we really want everyone to vote in the USA?

* There is a one-click image sharing using the imgur API.

* You can navigate using keyboard (I tested using Firefox, Chrome and Safari)

Thanks!
I have trouble believing this story is true since it seems like an incongruous thing for Jobs to say and there's not even an attempt at showing evidence that the email is legit. Blogs get lots of views if they have a story about Steve Jobs saying something controversial, so there's lots of incentive for these two blogs to report on it even if it's totally bogus.
Full Disclosure is Irresponsible
If your business grow at the same pace as in the last 6 months -- how long would it take you to become ramen profitable?
Get a part-time job. The constraints will be conducive to results.
Exactly. I own an iPhone 4 (upgraded from an iPhone 3G) and "switched" to Macs a while back. My coworkers - many of which own an Android-based smart phone - are loving every moment of this.

And to be honest, some of the videos, photos, etc., they've shown me have cracked me up.

The world isn't "crashing"; It's a phone. One that works pretty damn well.

For Steve, it became personal, whereas it was simply business for Gawker.

In general, this is how it works for public figures and the press.
Yup-bug report submitted. I can replicate it on both my OS X machines-position your cursor over a hyperlink and click to follow it. Without moving the mouse, press right click+left click to go back a page. Release the mouse buttons. If your mouse is positioned correctly still Opera will immediately follow the link again. Its aggravating, especially since I don't tend to move the mouse cursor much.

I doubt that anyone holds their phone in only one hand, at all times. At least not anyone with two ears.
Do I have this straight? Someone who can't get users is selling a service where he tries to get other people users. There may be a problem here.

Also the sample numbers you provide has the developer losing $11.75 out of pocket for the honor of acquiring 20 new users. Given that the developer is trying to make money, this doesn't seem like a great deal. (Even worse, with the quoted figures you could buy 20 copies of the app for yourself, and walk away $4.95 richer. All of the mindshare etc benefits the developer is hoping for wouldn't apply in that case.)

How Firmware Upgrade can Fix iPhone 4 Signal, Reception Issues, save Apple's ass
This level of grumbling about the iPhone certainly is a change versus the last one.
Have you ever been in an argument with a spouse/significant other and told them to "calm down"? Did saying that ever make them calm down? Telling someone to "calm down" is pretty much guaranteed to make them even more upset/frustrated. I don't know if Jobs said that on purpose to annoy that guy, but the outcome wasn't exactly surprising.
Of course, but the point is that there are usually (e.g.) 1024 red pixels, 1024 green pixels, and 1024 blue pixels, per-row. This screen has 1024 color pixels per-row total, in a novel layout.
Maybe it's because I came in from the HN link, but I was extremely confused by this. I had never seen the draft page before so when I saw the task for "put together draft like product page", I was trying to understand what that meant and find a reference and the page was obviously not helpful so I had to read the HN comments and go find the draft page to get it. Perhaps the same idea of screenshots would work better with a different example that doesn't require as much background knowledge.

This is a little old, but here was my take on things a couple years back: http://davepeck.org/2008/12/12/meditations-on-microsoft/
I'm left handed, own an iPhone4, and can only reproduce the issue if I try really hard. It's not at all a natural hold.
I think it's just an easy way to justify hiring -- if the hire turns out to be awful, you can say, "hey, he/she had 10 years of experience!"
Just a phone? People run their lives off these things. It may be just a phone, but it's not just for phone calls these days.
I'm sorry, that's not correct. We have all three generations of iPhones in our family, and we all use AT&T. I don't have an iPhone, I have a Motorola handset. My Motorola will make calls when the iPhones can't get any signal. The whole family has to use my phone when we go to remote areas. Furthermore, my AT&T/Motorola combination outperforms the same model phone on Verizon in the marinas on the Northeast coast (Boston - Baltimore) and in the mountains of W VA and Western Maryland. These are the only places I've been able to do direct comparisons, but I've never been in a situation where some other service had better coverage than AT&T (that is, I've never had to borrow someone else's phone on a different network to make a call).

The reason I haven't bought an Android is that I don't want to give up AT&T service. Not a fanboi at all; in fact, I've been pissed at them in the past. But in my observation they are superior, at least in the regions I haunt.

I understand the transceiver sensitivity of the iPhone 4 is finally quite good, and I was/am looking forward to maybe getting one. But until now, it has never impressed me as a phone, which is what I mainly need it for (it's my primary business line and I won't take a chance on inferior coverage).

Or $325. If you can afford an iPhone but not the ETF, you shouldn't have bought the iPhone.

I'm surprised Apple isn't taking the Nexus One approach. Buy the phone with the radio that you want, and use it on any network. No ETF, no subsidy, just a phone.
