I'd guess she reused code from previous sites.

Lately, I've been dumping heavily into a wiki while I work. Every command line snippet or reusable looking piece of code gets dumped in there. After about a week, it became really useful, and a month on it's amazing.

But yeah, if you write a site that uses canvas manipulation to draw a bouncing ball, all that work is already done when you want to use it for snake.

I like this story, because people do end up in situations where they have a lot of time (students on holiday, unemployed people, maybe stay home parents), but few use it in such an inspiring productive way
Excuse me, but I seem to recall there was quite a bit of hooey made over "warrentless wiretaps" in the '08 election by the left. Bush lied, and all that noise. Where is the goddamn noise now?

You're not paying attention. Just about every liberal nexus on the internet is enraged regarding this. Ironically, those who have labeled Snowden as a traitor are generally conservative leaning thinkers, whereas almost every liberal in existence has embraced Snowden as a hero.

I am wishing that the Left wasn't so full of hypocrites and WOULD actually take to the streets in protest and be the nuisances they normally are.

I just tried it moments ago, and successfully remote-installed an app to my GT-i9100.
This would be really nice if it had more room for coins. But then I guess it wouldn’t be particularly slim anymore :\
> The point is that NaCl is not portable, just like a native platform such as Windows.

So provide fat binaries. Maximize performance on ARM and i386, with fallback to PNaCL for future platforms that are neither.

> They are even the dominant platforms on mobile.

For a good reason. Adopting their strengths while eschewing their weaknesses (proprietary and single-vendor) would benefit the entire industry greatly.
google.com/chromecast/setup gives you a link to download a native computer app. Looks like it does some wifi search from the native app to "pair" and setup the device.
The mount point of the internal storage is /sdcard, that's probably what he meant.
"canvas manipulation". You make it sound like it some kind of strange hack. How else would you use a canvas element? People highly overestimate the complexity of making HTML5 games.
Ask HN: Seeking Freelance iOS Developer
Attempting to create a local advertising web app. The current version can be seen here: scatteralpha.appspot.com

The website is still a work in progress and improving every day.

Need your help with the iPhone app.

You will be building an engaging and beautiful iPhone app. The backend for the mobile app was created in parallel to the web app and is ready to go. You would be able to test it before you take on the project.

100% of your focus would be on UX and UI of the app.

I estimate the project to take 3-4 weeks (before you blast this estimate to kingdom come, lets talk)

We will agree on a very specific feature set. I ensure you that we will remain extremely focussed on those specific set of features and ensure (jointly) that there is no scope-creep.

Would love to discuss more, if you are interested.

The thing about the Galaxy Nexus is that it's essentially a Samsung Galaxy sII but with 2.4x more pixels to push with the same GPU.

There are some optimizations that iOS can make that Android can't, but the gnex in particular I think is slightly crippled.

What feature? Are you sure? I just remotely installed an app to test it out. Google Play still has a My Apps section. And if you go to https://play.google.com/settings you'll see your devices. Which feature do you think is gone?
I think many analytic-type of people (I am part of this group) live in a fantasy land in which the smarter you are, the better game you'll make. Wrong. It's cute that you know how to interpolate quaternions from memory, but that won't make you spit out a good game. First of all, lets look at the term "game programmer": this term is slightly odd -- often times, especially when just starting out, you'll be making games in an indie environment; in such a case, you'll need to be a good game designer. Making an amazing indie game is probably the best way to get in the game industry. Studying math is not.

I'd sum up the most important skill like this: "learn how to finish projects". You can know all the math (or design) in the world, but if you can't finish anything, no one will be impressed unless you want to be code monkey #3249 at EA (and who wants to be that?). This seems easy when read on paper, but in reality it's fucking hard a shit. I've probably abandoned about 95+% of game projects I started. Anyone that says they finish more than 50% of the projects they start is full of shit. This is a skill -- and it's by far the hardest one to hone.

Note that it's not that I don't approve of OP's hard work compiling the list, I just think it perpetuates the idea that good games == good technology. Carmack is a CS genius, sure. But more importantly, he's a damn good game designer.
I agree that my default assumption would be that all the data was made up. If I saw a handle and photo of someone I knew, though, I'd probably assume the rest of that tweet was genuine as well.

Conversely, if these fancy chips become the standard mining kit, they will push regular hardware out even more. This means if you want to do a 51% attack there are much fewer individual people you need to compromise.

A 51% attack isn't based on the number of people, but based on computing power. If 30 people control 60%,then they control everything.

> So 4.3 fixes neither the ad-hoc WiFi issue #82 nor the audio latency issue #3434.

Low latency audio is "fixed" on the Android side, it needs better device support though. Apps need to actually support the fast path as well, which I don't think many do.

I don't know if the new Nexus 7 supports the low latency audio path, though. But Android itself does have low latency audio, it's a device-specific thing though.

Thanks for these articles! As a youngster, Sun always was "that Java company", but having testimonies of it as a young and innovative company is great.

I'm a bit disappointed about the title still as it makes it bait for "women are mistreated by IT men, which is why they don't go to IT anymore".

That's a complex topic with no clear answer. Philosophically, Bitcoin leaves much to be desired. But Bitcoin is the only realistic choice. The others (Litecoin, etc) just don't have enough momentum to be viable right now. Network effects make Bitcoin the only cryptocurrency with any short-term value.

However, regarding the philosophy: Bitcoin is a deflationary currency. That's a remarkable choice, because the prevailing economic wisdom is that inflation is a good thing because it keeps the money flowing rather than being hoarded. So most people probably wouldn't support Bitcoin's economic theory if given the choice.

It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Yeah, this is the real fishy part. Sure, it seems like she has some previous programming experience, at minimum. Using "public" and "private" in javascript having no previous Java/C++/C# experience, or without having copied-and-pasted it from somewhere is odd. Big deal, though. She's promoting herself.

But why? If I had that kind of dedication, it wouldn't be on a tedious gimmick. It's much more sane to have one or two big ideas. She's fighting chicken-sized horses that's for sure.

I second the interest in a blog post. Jennifer, it's rare that someone develops an art background before programming so I'd love to hear your thoughts on the similarities and differences.
This person isn't a very good writer. I've read through it once and I'm not sure what the point is supposed to be. LISP and Java are different -- ok, that's pretty obvious. Some fuzzy stuff about embracing creativity, ok, fair enough but also fairly trite and more suited to an Apple TV commercial. Programming is an art as well as a science, yes, that's nice. Some things are plainly false, for example, "the theory of quantum mechanics and the expanding plausibility of complexity science threw everything we knew about the world into doubt." Did it really? So before we knew that London was the capital of the UK and that 2+2=4 but the "expanding plausibility of complexity science" caused people to doubt that?

In sum, a tedious and pretentious article.

this is also a very good point. her code is polished and precise. any unused variables in there? missing semicolons? unintentional globals? nope. these are all things i would expect to see from someone just jumping into javascript, as well as at least 300 more lines of code for a program of this level of complexity, not just algorithmically, but in canvas manipulation as well.

either she is a motherfuckin genius or she is really good at finding puzzle pieces and putting them together. not to say she hasn't learned a great deal from the process, but i don't believe she's superhuman, either.
You can already do that with NaCl - or even asm.js with eval, I bet it wouldn't be that much slower. But current JITs apparently gain a significant amount of performance with inline caching, which expects code to be able to be rewritten very quickly.

Edit to respond to your edit: although it would be cool to be able to have a "sandboxed mode" that can somehow be switched out of more cheaply than an interrupt, the whole thing seems like a massive hack to me. After all, NaCl does not take advantage of its pseudo-ability to do so: NaCl code runs in its own process and already incurs a context switch whenever it communicates with the browser, so there is no inherent hardware reason NaCl couldn't just run directly under the kernel and have the kernel provide the same level of sandboxing as the NaCl runtime currently does. It's just an issue of getting such an approach to work portably with existing kernels... hardware support might be able to make it easier to get that to work, but it's probably unnecessary.

It's not a zero sum game.

It's not a "waste" of computing power at all, in my opinion.

- If BTC did not exist, this computing power would not exist. The demand for this power is in addition to other forms of demand. This isn't taking away power from any other field, it's simply new power being added for a new cause.
- The technology derived from this "arms race" can benefit far more than this field.

Why wasn't the moonlanding a "waste" of money, talent and science? Because of the training it provided people and the tools and technologies they developed, etc.

What you might be looking for, is nowadays positioned as a "smart TV converter box" $60-100. Basically a Android box that has a hdmi/av out, connects to wifi and comes with a remote. I set this up for my parents so they can launch skype on their old TV a couple remote clicks. But turned out they can install apps from google play so they get youtube, news and email too.

Haven't tried it, but with the Chromecast extension, it presumably should. The only potential problem I see is if there are any licensing issues with video codecs.

I'm wondering about the pricing, though. It seems free, but there is no word about it.
Are you still based in Santa Cruz? I'm also starting up programming slightly later on while going to a community college (possibly the same one that you went to??), as I first started tinkering with some PHP around a year ago (my age now is 22), then tried a bit of RoR but they ended up being false starts.

I've in the last few months started back up with Python (primarily Flask) and JavaScript (mainly AngularJS), and deployed a couple toy web apps in the last month.

I don't know too many people in town, so I'm wondering is Santa Cruz still a viable place to get into the professional world? Might you have any specific advice for getting started here?

Thanks!

Agreed. I have never once experienced iOS level smoothness from my Note II, and I've run both stock TouchWiz 4.1 and a CM 10.1 4.2 variant called Liquidsmooth.

Android is great, I wouldn't trade back to iOS for the world, but I've just learned to accept the hiccups, lag and odd behavior that hurts my "suspension of belief" (or whatever term describes the ability to believe that we're actually 'moving' things by touching a screen).

The fu comment and how it's tolerated on HN provides a true window into how the real world works.

And why people on the outside never know the true story of why someone in power (say the government) or PG does what they do. Which is why sometimes it seems wrong and doesn't make any sense or it seems there is an easy alternative.

They only know what they read about it or what they are told or what they understand or have been educated about.

You say something that almost certainly would get a user with lower karma hellbanned but it's totally tolerated.

Now a user who is new to HN may wonder why you can get away with that and then feel that it's ok for them to do the same.

PG (or whoever has hellbanning powers) decides that you are either to big to fail or the benefit that you provide to the community outweighs whatever detriment a comment like this poses by letting you continue on HN saying things like that. You most likely don't even get a warning from the cop. "Ok sarge I'll tone it down".

It's like being tenured or something in academia.

I love this stuff. I like the fact that at least some people on HN can say whatever they want (the freedom of speech we are all supposed to have) without fear of either downvotes or being banned from HN.

And while that doesn't mean I want to have a bunch of FU or abusive language thrown about (which would almost certainly detract and make me leave) it is an illustration of the power of the primadonna in organizations.

(By the way Steve Blank was totally like this at the company that I worked with him at. Untouchable.)

Google Chromecast streams Internet media to your TV
This has been available for over a year. The old version had the exact same specs as far as I can tell. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-XE300M22-A01US-Series-3-Chrome...

The hardware specs aren't very impressive at all, except the DisplayPorts.

They should at least offer a black version.

Don't get me wrong, I considered purchasing one of these a few months ago and attaching two monitors, but it's difficult to set up a good dev environment using only web services.

IMO, this is for people to get their computer illiterate family members, maybe schools, and maybe businesses if employees can get by using only web apps. (I guess that's a big market)

Google should really try to create a cheaper, more powerful, and better looking version of this. There really are a lot of people who would be interested in a cheap desktop computer that you can't easily mess up.

Another useful feature would be the ability to lock down ChromeOS a little more. No unapproved apps or extensions without a master password.
