Actually, the words "open source" are a recent addition to our header, whereas we've always had the github link. We discovered from feedback that many people who visited our page had no idea that it was open source, since most people don't look at nav bars, and this of course completely changed their perception of the project (for the worse, obviously). When we put "open source" into the header, we saw a marked increase in interest.

Thanks for the feedback, though! We'll think about inserting "app" in there.
Thanks for the link! I added it to the article.

Dont install the javelin browser – permissions abuse
A few weeks ago, the developer of javelin browser, Steven Goh, posted on this site about the new browser he was developing.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8368199 nubela

I wanted to show support for his work, and installed the browser and tried it out.

Today I received an email from the developer on my WORK email promoting his IndieGoGo campaign.

The app discovered all the email addresses on my device (which includes my work email) and sent it back for later use.

And there is no unsubscribe option in the email.

first he steals my email address and uses it for marketing purposes without even asking me permission
and then he doesnt even provide me with an option to unsubscribe.

This is why I am always hesitant to try new apps or apps that I feel are asking too many permissions. They abuse your trust.

The point is that it can't replace an ICE for most of the world. Every country is not like the US with a giant supercharger network. So range is critical.

And Tesla isn't sold in "many" countries. It's an insignificant fraction of a typical car manufacturer.
I like how he blew past the suggestion to turn off bounds checking in the comments (which I assume otherwise shouldn't affect the ability to debug), when that looks like almost certainly the reason why the array version is a couple orders of magnitude slower when unoptimized.
Indeed. My dislike for sports is twofold - for one, I suck at it (wearing glassess at the age of 10 didn't help in becoming a good soccer player, especially goalkeeper), and I find it boring. Though I'm aware this is something easily changed when one starts playing more.

But the second issue I have is an issue with the culture around professional sport, which is exactly as you described. It highlights the worst aspects of humans - extreme irrationality and willingness to go to a conflict over a completely arbitrary things. I strive to avoid participating in that.

The cars use a closed network, but still can get hacked. The leak would allow thieves to unlock the doors, read emails, track locations and access collected data without leaving any trace.
Why couldn't you just introduce attenuation after each stage to preserve headroom in the next stage (assuming you had sufficient dynamic range)?
The thing about these guns is they used to be all over the place. In Ireland, and Lebanon, and Palestine, and Berkeley.
>the market incentive to develop modern & sophisticated automatic weapons pretty much ended with the M16 (the USA having by far the largest civilian market for firearms). A few non-USA automatics have been designed since (FN P90 and HK MP7 are of note), built around very lightweight ammunition and high capacity magazines in very compact platforms; these point to what could have been developed & available domestically, but was stifled for want of a market to experiment in

I think a lot of that has to do with the perception that PDWs are poor replacements for assault rifles - in a battle context greater range and accuracy will win out if you can only carry one weapon and a side arm
Indie game dev Jason Rohrer (Passage/The Castle Doctrine/Cordial Minuet) recently had a forum post about his income. I'd link to it but he's requested people not link to the Cordial Minuet forums:

We made $140K from The Castle Doctrine (and other games) in 2014. We made a bit more from TCD in 2013 as well, with the grand total somewhere up near $180K.

The TOTAL tribute received from all Cordial Minuet games so far is $683.4939. Of course, I also paid out $420 in prize money for the first tournament. Thus, the total income is only $263.49.
I've been actively working on Cordial Minuet since June 19, 2014.

Cordial Minuet is my 18th game. I made 12 games that made nothing or close to nothing. My 13th game brought in a few thousand dollars. My 14th game brought in about $100K. At that point, I had been making games for about 5 years, and trying to make a living from independent software for about 7 years.

Also, "sociopath"[1] is a pretty strong term for a guy who sends automated texts in a clumsy attempt to deceive his girlfriend that he's thinking about her. (I'd call him immature, and certainly shortsighted - it should be obvious how the scheme could backfire, leading to a permanent loss of trust.) And if you're not already a sociopath, it's unlike that using an app will turn you into one.

I don't follow sports, but I also don't go around professing my ignorance. If someone changes the topic to sports, I still engage with them. I ask questions, and they're usually happy to answer. A couple days ago, someone delighted in telling me the story of Marshawn Lynch. (I had to look up the name, but I did remember his antics with the press.)

Having common ground with more people is not a bad argument for learning about sports. But I do have some qualms with the author's decision.

First, I cannot stress this enough: American football is an odious sport. Players regularly suffer concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and joint trauma. Permanent and debilitating injuries are common. The average player lasts 3.5 years in the NFL. Then they are spat out and left to deal with a lifetime of health issues. Yes, players freely choose their profession. So what? The same argument can be used to defend dueling. Football is bad and people should feel guilty watching it. If you're going to watch a popular sport, watch baseball.

But really, what's so bad about being out of touch with most Americans? Why draw the line at political borders? By population, vastly more people love cricket or soccer than American football. I don't mind being out of touch with sports enthusiasts regardless of their country of origin. If you're like me and you spend most of your time with people who aren't interested in sports, there's no point in learning about football or baseball. You already have common ground. Is that living in a bubble? Yes. I like living in a bubble. Economist Bryan Caplan explains the position better than I can.[1]

> I'm going to assume your argument is not merely, "Well, we haven't yet destroyed ourselves, so therefore, we aren't capable of doing that"

What?

Read what I wrote again.

"We haven't thus far. And we've had the capability for a while."

We've had the capability for a while. That means we're clearly capable. That's what capability means.

The fact that we haven't is supporting evidence that we won't. Because we've had the capability but have not used it. Which is historical evidence against our using it. Which is not a guarantee that it won't happen, just an indication that it won't.
That's funny, because despite having no clue what muonium is, I instantly knew that line was typical science journalism bullshit. Am I too cynical or does dumbing down something to the point it makes no sense have actual value for some people?
To clarify what I meant about headroom, I was specifically talking about headroom before the circuit starts to clip/break up/etc.

e.g. If you have a diode clipping OD/Distortion circuit made out of some diodes with a Vf of 5mV as opposed to the 700mV of a normal diode, you would need to have a smaller input signal for an equivalent amount of distortion. That smaller signal has a lower SNR given some constant noise floor from thermal noise etc, and the SNR can only stay the same or get worse after you start amplifying it.
Domain knowledge is also really useful for spotting bugs. I recently worked on a project where I had very little domain knowledge. So anyway I wrote my code, ran my tests, crunched the data, double checked that all the results seemed reasonable, produced the pretty pictures and everything looked spot on. However once I started showing the results to a domain expert it took him 30 seconds to point to one of the outputs and go "that's impossible, you have a bug in your code". Sure enough I did. As a generalist the results looked fine to me (right size, seemingly reasonable relationship to surrounding values etc.), but to a domain expert the error stuck out like sore thumb.

It really is about security. You have to ID yourself to get in. If you write malware, Apple has a kill switch they can enable to kill all your apps everywhere, and law enforcement has at least the start of a trail to follow.

I really want Windows to switch to this model! I cringe every time I download an unsigned installer. Even Free Software (Free as in Freedom) developers manage to pay for a cert.
Nope, the default assumption is always there running a scam. You need to prove you’re not running a scam.

EX1: All those reporting requirements for public companies.

EX2: Credit checks before you get phone / internet service / rent an apartment etc.

EX3: Passport check at the border.

EX4: Metal detectors at sensitive locations.

EX5: Professional certification requirements for Doctors etc.

EX6: FDA

ect ect.

PS: There are also a lot of hidden ones such as the dress code at many nice restaurants which significantly reduces people dine and dashing. And camera’s at gas stations. Or even just locked doors.
It's relatively easy to make an allocator, it is really hard to make an efficient one that works well across a large variety of use cases. That's also why it can pay off big time if you know more about your use case than malloc does (and you usually do) to roll your own allocator.
Disdain for sports is pointless social signalling that is ultimately divisive.

So is participation in sports. People don't dislike sports because they were born that way; they dislike them because they didn't like the effect they had on e.g. their high school or college.

Ask HN: Best way to take notes when reading a programming book?
I've been reading a thick programming book on C++, trying to dig deeper into the language. I've been taking notes, using a Evernote like program with syntax highlights. I have lots of different notes, titling each one with the name of programming syntax/technique of using the language, but it's really hard to go through it all and figure out exactly what I need when figuring out a programming problem. I want to master the language.

What is the best way to take notes reading a programming book that you spend months reading off and on?

I think the author is reading way too much into BroApp. I've used BroApp for a few weeks. I thought it was funny, I liked the design and I was looking forward to the day my girlfriend found out. She finally figured it out around Christmas where we were both at my parents place and I neglected to setup my parent's wifi address as a "No Bro Zone". She asked me why I had texted her and I spilled the beans. She got a kick out of the app and tells the story to others.

Don't know if this is the typical experience but if you look at the app, it does not provide enough customization to trick someone for long (my girlfriend told me she was suspicious for some time). It offered to send one of 5 texts at a set time (plus or minus a few minutes). If someone were really intent on tricking their significant other, they would use something like IFTTT (If This Than That).

Just the design and feel of the app has me believe that it was made as more of a satire of bro culture and the hyper interconnectedness that modern relationships now require.
The Truth About Being a Jack of All Trades
The original article is saying "The skier can travel 120 miles in one hour because he is going 120mph". The parent is saying that the skier can't travel 120 miles in one hour, because even if you could find a mountain that long enough that could create a reliable path without any trees, the skier's skies would fall apart from friction (analogy breaks down here?)

> It may just be my personal prejudice based on my friend-group, but my impression is that there are a lot more people on PC willing to seek out, try, and talk about unusual/obscure games. More people on mobile tend to get their game recommendations from the "Top Paid" and "Top Free" lists, and if you're not Angry Birds or Minecraft Pocket you're not likely to have a lot of people notice you.

I want to add myself as a data point for you. I don't explore games (or apps) in the Play Store, because 99% is crap. Randomly picked app/game is something barely functional and evidently made for ad income. This makes me install only the reputable apps (like Dropbox, Acrobat Reader) or ones that were recommended by friends, on HN (I've bought an app just this month from a recomendation here), or somewhere else. As for games, I don't shop for those often on purpose, so unless someone suggests it to me, I probably won't find it. PC games tend to be easier to encounter, I have more avenues to check their quality before installing, and... there's this feeling that I have more control over what I install on PC than on my phone.
Errors in determining the price of money do have fatal consequences.

When interest rates jump from, say, 2% to 4%, in terms of cashflow this means a doubling of expenditure on a regular basis. If your mortgage was X per month, it'll now be 2X per month, which will immediately affect the expenses you have for other goods, such as food, utility bills, etc. If your business loan repayment was Y per month, it'll now mean 2Y per month, meaning you may not be profitable anymore and go out of business.

The mistake you're making is thinking money is a thing that exists separately from real things, a unit of account and medium of exchange.

Money is a product in itself, that enables humans to go forward and back in time (through loans and savings) in order to plan the storage and use of the wealth they've created or are yet to create. Without this function, no wealth is created but the tiniest subsistence-level kind.

So, determining its price makes all the difference between an economy that operates at subsistence-level, or one that actually functions.

> Humans don't try to achieve such goals because we obviously can't and we need others

We don't need all those others. In fact, we actually need far fewer than all the others out there. With the exception of a few lunatics here and there throughout history, human beings don't make it their business to exterminate the rest of humanity. It's a waste of time. We only compete with a small group of humans at any one time.

Similarly, AIs whose interests don't overlap would have no interest in destroying other AIs. So I find it extremely likely that there would be a multitude of AIs, in the unlikely event that AIs come into fruition. Also, competition isn't constant for humans. One minute you're competing, another you're cooperating, and another you're ignoring. The same dynamism can be expected with AIs.

Depth can have a real defined meaning, though. If you're in the context of discovering a process that will make electricity cheaper and cleaner, that is useful to everyone around the world in some way and then to have someone overshadow that achievement or ignore it entirely because 'the game' is on, is ridiculous. I live in the south east where when a college football coach has a problem with the university president, the president is lucky to last longer than a year.

There's obviously nothing objectively bad about enjoying sports, but the ravenous obsession with sports is not exactly uncommon and to pretend we should celebrate it is not in the best interest of humanity.

There is a reason a lot (most?) NFL players go bankrupt shortly after their career of being paid far more than will reflect their contribution to the future of mankind. It's because that grouping of people has a lot of backwards thinking and irresponsibility attached to it.

It's very interesting to me that someone, here, in academia, is having to defend their disdain to the vocal majority about their distaste for sports culture when it does nothing long term for our species good and could easily be argued to be detrimental via opportunity cost thrown away in human potential that grew up believing it was more prestigious to be a football player than a scientist.

So am I annoyed? A bit. Do I generalize based on your taste for sports? No. Do I think your choice to praise athletes over scientists is detrimental to society? Yes, I do.
