This tone is not very suitable for HN. I’m sure you could start a better discussion if you gave it a proper try.

If you ever need to generate a gradient between colors in any of your code, interpolating colors in the Lab color space is an awesome option. A simple linear interpolation of the components gives impressively beautiful results. (Although, l

I wonder why the parent comment is downvoted. To a layman like me, it sounds completely reasonable. Maintaining an exact copy of RNA/DNA through generations and generations is a real challenge, right? Loosening up the copying mechanism

Still the same answer, I develop the firewall app Radio Silence ( https://radiosilenceapp.com ) for macOS. It covers all my basic living costs. But I kind of got bored (again) of being happily unemployed (for the second time), and

I think your original hunch is correct. This is a little too stackoverflow-y.

This is not a very helpful comment. And nobody knows anything about JPEG when they are born.

I think this is not related at all to the linked article. If you have a story about this, could you post it as a separate link and see how it does on its own? Trying to hijack other threads with politically loaded stuff usually goes sour he

Hacker News isn't all about tech or startups. It's about things that interest the tech & startup crowd.

One of the best things about HN is how joke comments aren't usually upvoted, even if they were funny. It makes room for other kinds of conversations.

I think the ”hello#greet” part is there to be consistent with Rails route mapping. As a standalone syntax choice, it makes little sense. But for a RoR developer, it’s obvious.

Not exactly related to NeoPG, but GPGME in general: Doesn't GPGME assume that the user already has GnuPG 2.x installed and running on their system? This might just be a misconception I have, but I always thought you couldn't make

Little Snitch was actually the inspiration to build Radio Silence, but in a what-not-to-do kind of way. I had just bought my first Mac, and was really impressed with how easy everything was. It really was a joy to use. Little Snitch instant

I was happily unemployed for a while, living off the app income for about 15 months. However, I just joined an AI startup two months ago, not out of necessity, but because I found their idea super interesting and had the chance. (Also, the

My native Mac app, sold outside the App Store: https://radiosilenceapp.com I was really afraid that Apple’s new policy on making kernel extensions harder to install would cut into the profits, but sales have actually gone up sin

I think the parent comment is just a hypothetical situation, and blhack isn't actually a bitcoin millionaire.

That's certainly what it looks like. They told developers to "talk to us" if the change is a problem. I opened a support ticket immediately, but haven't yet heard back. I'm sure the people at ObDev have done the sam

That function sure is ugly, but in general they have done a great job in making their own APIs more easy on the eyes. And even that monstrosity doesn't look that bad in actual use: let filter = BNNSFilterCreateConvolutionLayer(&a

It was also almost offhandedly announced (in session 707) that they are deprecating network kernel extensions, with no real replacement API in sight. That's an existential crisis for 3rd party firewalls.

Wing's landing page has some big layout problems on mobile, at least on iOS: http://i.imgur.com/2R9USMM.jpg It's not a great first impression for a layout framework.

Finland is a rather small market, so friends & family were probably a big influence to get it off the ground. (Seems that it only takes some hundreds of downloads to reach the top spot.) I also started threads with promo code giveaways

Was it a financial success? And care to link to the game? In a way I feel like saying no to ads and IAP is a noble goal, but not the financially smart one. I was OK with it for this one, because this was a hobby/passion project that I

Radio Silence ( https://radiosilenceapp.com ). It evolved from a side project to my main income this year, and there's a few valuable lessons learned. I don't think I could live off the app without them. The biggest thin
