Hmm... his wife worked at TI as an engineer IIRC. So it's a tenuous, unlikely, made-for-tv kind of possibility indeed. It's gotten me interested in circuit bending again, however.

This is a very weird and specific question I know, but I figured I'd ask anyway because you seem to have experience with this chip. In 'Halt and Catch Fire,'[0] one of the characters loads his children's names onto a Spe

Thanks, I'm looking into building some of these for family members who can't read as well any more. These are some great resources to read!

Ironically, German is probably closer to Emacs Lisp than English is.

From a Feb. 2014 Apple Security whitepaper[0]: "The passcode is “tangled” with the device’s UID, so brute-force attempts must be per-formed on the device under attack. A large iteration count is used to make each attempt slower. The it

I really enjoyed reading Papillon, as well as seeing the film. Does anyone have recommendations for good fiction / memoirs about modern prisons?

It's totally readable. You may dislike the aesthetic but it's a capable, simple page layout, unlike many modern sites "optimized for readability." It doesn't mess with your scrolling or use unreadable color combinat

When I say smart, I mean purely from a cold, heartless, moneymaking perspective. I would not start this business because I agree with you in many cases.

This is smart. Cellular jamming is mega-illegal in the US (even in prisons![0]), and when I first read through this article I missed part of the first paragraph and couldn't understand how this product could be sold. However, the idea

That's why there are research ethics boards - I'd be surprised if this cleared one. I can say from very similar experiences that kind of activity can damage trust and destroy relationships with people.

I would check out #github on freenode, for starters.

I actually complained about this on twitter a while ago, and pg said he didn't believe me - recommending "y combinator lambda" as a search string. But more specific things like "y combinator golang" require you to b

Yes, the 3D gimmick is arguably a bad move (I don't know enough about consumer statistics to comment). But my point is the goal of Amazon is to sell media/software and everything about the phone is designed for that. The goal of M

by yzzxy 12y ago
Amazon has no interest in selling cell phones, they want to surface their conglomerate services to consumers through cell phones. Fire COULDN'T have been this phone, it would just be an AmazonBasics style anonymous product to them.

The RPG idea is, in fact, part of a very dense space. However, I think Tabletop Simulator[0] is an interesting approach that comes at the problem from a very different angle: just simulate a table with physics. Adding the support systems ar

I really need to get around to writing a Lisp for the Nspire. Should be easy to implement the roots of lisp [0] in TI-Basic without resorting to Ndless. [0] quote, atom, eq, cons, car, cdr, cond a la http://ep.yimg.com/ty&#x

The design language I generally like but I really want hard-to-learn, fast-to-use utilitarian UI like in Windows.

Despite flat design being categorized as a fad by design news today, I would LOVE a Win2k style desktop with flat design. Could probably just be a texture swap.

Well, I'm not an expert by an means but I think the plumbing would take far more time than the vision itself - hooking up to a calender api, etc. Maybe MT would run into the same issues. But HITs are super cheap, and a single programme

Although the image recognition software is cool, it's almost surely cheaper to just set up Mechanical Turk HITs, compared to however many programmer-hours were spent on the image recognition.

Could you add your email to your profile or contact me via my own? I'd love to discuss some aspects of this site.

If this is done in an automated way, it could be an attack vector. EG. a malicious domain or link shortener owner could identify HN server IPs (or via other fingerprints, I'm not really a networks expert), learn when the HN server acce

This feature is several years old, IIRC? Some of these movies seem quite new. Snowpiercer is still in theaters I believe.

Dark Souls and Demon Souls, two games normally only noted for being extremely difficult, are some of the best examples of ludonarrative assonance I've ever seen. The mechanics of the games not only reflect the events of their plots coh

If this is true, that's going to kill their business in the paranoid post-gox btc community. Most will probably wait until a competing service with a smidgen more reputability shows up in about 2 days.
