dlsym··on Show HN: I built this website to help people with hashtags. Hope you'll enjoy it
The $('.pure-g h3.l-hashtags')-Headline is driving me insane.

I guess this is not satire, since this tool suggests some tags. (I guess the hashtagging of every word is just a little side-joke.)

dlsym··on iPhone 6: An edgy concept
Won't happen.
dlsym··on Show HN: Introducing Q.js, a library for modern web apps
"Q.md5 - to one-way-encode passwords etc. in insecure websites before sending to the server"

This is a very bad advice which leads to a false sense of security:

1. A fast hash function is not desired for hashing passwords. (Bruteforce)

2. There are TBs of rainbowtables for unsalted md5.

3. If you use a salt, you would have to expose it clientsided.

dlsym··on This Call Is Being Recorded
"One of the great things about InCall Recorder is that it automatically upload the recorded MP3s up to DropBox - so your calls are instantly available to you and anyone else with whom you choose to share the folder." - And the NSA.
dlsym··on Odin.js - Node.js Game Engine
Slightly OT: Can someone explain to me, why in every physics simulation demo everything seems to be moving in slowmotion? (This demo is not an exception.)

Just wondering...

dlsym··on GorillaScript
1 & 2 == "12" - Now THAT I call unexpected behavior. :-/

Interesting language though.

dlsym··on General Alexander wearing EFF shirt
"Why is a dude wearing a shirt on the front page?"

Not sure if...

"Most powerful guy on the planet? I hadn't heard of him until now."

OK. Troll.

dlsym··on Instagram Django site admin
admin:admin doesn't work.
dlsym··on Instant Server - Click the button to get a virtual private server
With PRISM "virtual private" just got a whole new dimension.
dlsym··on Where did all the HTTP referrers go?
But why is that a bad thing? Just count your page impressions to see if you blogcontent is popular.

What websites your visitors consume is IMHO not your business.

dlsym··on Poll: "Giff" or "Jif"?
How about: "gitt" vs. "jit"
dlsym··on Click on a few dots and our program will guess your age
return 30 if referer == 'https://news.ycombinator.com/

Is it close?

dlsym··on "How I Explained REST to My Wife" taken down because of gender-oriented nature
Collateral damage of Shitstorm-Net-"feminists"-Hysteria.

This is just sad.

dlsym··on Placebos becoming too effective, pharma industry worries
AFAIK this is already done today. (Mostly in Hospitals.) If your doctor gives you a big red pill with some name like 'Ultracure2000 FORTE' it is most likely a placebo.
dlsym··on Chess CAPTCHA
Since computers are exceptionally good at chess, this might not be the best approach.

Nice idea though.

dlsym··on Show HN: Telescope, an open-source social news app built with Meteor
The demo-button-effect is awesome!
dlsym··on Show HN: Bubbles - my unfinished HTML5 Particle Game
Very... absorbent. You really get... sucked in.
dlsym··on Show HN: WordCount.is
If you're on Linux: Select text and run xclip -o | wc
dlsym··on Minimal Ring Alarm Clock for Couples
August 29th, 2011 yawn
dlsym··on Ruby, PHP, MySQL, Perl, Free Hosting for geeks
Step 1. Attract geeks / nerds / hackers.

Step 2. Get sourcecode

Step 3. Win!

dlsym··on Foggy: jQuery plugin for blurring page elements
Sad thing: I bet this will be abused in a "Please login or signup to view this content!"-way.

Good thing: Instant bypass using 'developer tools' or firebug...

dlsym··on Avgrund.js
Works perfectly fine for me.

(Linux Mint 13, Xinerama, Chrome)

dlsym··on Linux Commands for Developers
sigh And I tought we were through with collections of trivial shell commands.
dlsym··on Neil Armstrong has died at 82 Today
No.
dlsym··on Neil Armstrong has died at 82 Today
That's one small step for a man... one giant step for mankind. - RIP Mr. Armstrong
dlsym··on PhalconPHP - High Perf PHP Framework as a C Extension
Falcon looks like a crossover between Rails and Zend. Yaf looks a little bit more zendish.
dlsym··on Is The Web Really Just Links Or Is It Evolving?
No - there are awful lot of dead links, too.
dlsym··on Rootbeer GPU Compiler Lets Almost Any Java Code Run On the GPU
This is indeed IMHO a central question in this topic, since parallelizing an algorithm is not an easy task.

So I guess you still end up writing your algorithm in OpenCL / Cuda and maybe use the serialization provided by this lib.

Update: (Just read the hpcc_rootbeer.pdf slides.) You write your _parralellized_ implementation of an Algorithm in Java - and it will be executed on the GPU.

dlsym··on A technique for hiding your JavaScript code
This is a really good Idea! I will implement this in my site, where I blocked the right mouse-klick so nobody can steal my images!!11
dlsym··on A new vehicle interface
From what I can see in these pictures, this is a full featured computer with an OS and apps. It has access to the internet and to the internal bus (Oil, Speed and whatnot).

I have a _very_ bad feeling about that.
