I haven’t checked their technology yet but if their iteration speed is an order of magnitude faster than the competition my money is on them

New comment by marcus in "Ask HN: Are programmers a commodity?"

marcus — Mon, 30 May 2016 21:33:44 +0000

Programmers aren't commodities as they aren't interchangeable, there are vast differences in outcome between different programmers.

To a good programmer most jobs offerings are commodities, they are interchangeable and their offerings/rewards/challenges are very similar.

Thus the developer you are interviewing is also interviewing you.

ENV variables are inherited by child processes by default, so please use care when using this approach.

Use the tuple (email,passphrase). Still easy to remember and the email functions as a salt, and will prevent any rainbow attacks

In a private company you would be mostly correct. In a public one changes like these might require that you go back and fix your previous quarterly fillings -> not something that is done lightly.

Everything you need is part of the standard Android SDK directional pad support, start/select buttons shoulder pad buttons and joystick support

An existing game can be switched to use the physical buttons with minimal work... This isn't a rewrite, more like connecting another source event to the functions that handle user interactions. I expect most games to need less than a couple of hours of work to support this device.

Not quite ready for prime time but I am working on a project that makes it really easy to grab content from any site using a point and click interface no xpaths selectors or regex.

You enter the url you want to capture data from, it gets loaded in an iframe, you click on the texts you need and set a schedule to receive updates and how(email/twitter dm) that's it.

It supports javascript driven content and can handle practically any website.

Ask HN: need your help for iPad Mini2 detection using Stereo sound&accelerometer

marcus — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:45:58 +0000

Hello HN readers, I need your help to test my crazy idea of detecting iPad2/iPad mini by using accelormeter and stereo music.

Please visit this link on an iPad2 or iPad mini and help me collect an initial dataset.

Thanks.

iOS audio will only play in response to user generated event (click for example) never when the site loads.

And I am not saying it has to be a random noise or very loud the accelerometer on the iDevices since the iPhone 4 is superb a very low sound will probably be sufficient. The sound can be easily integrated into the natural flow of the site, as many sites already do small beeps or play music etc to provide feedback to the user.

Already posted it on SO but here goes:

Play a stereo audio file and compare the accelerometer response when volume is high on the right channel and on the left channel - iPad2 had mono speakers and iPad Mini has stereo speakers built in
