Safari doesn't support DASH and probably will not. Chrome does not support HLS. DASH isn't plug and play. It's an XML representation describing how to ingest media streams using so…

Also chiming in with a project I've put together in Swift https://www.github.com/krad/morsel https://www.github.com/krad/plainview https://www.github.com/krad/pupil morsel ingests …

In iOS you can specify that files in an app's sandbox are "encrypted" when the device is locked. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/FileMa... (See "Files Can Be …

Giving people a button that would make a drone fall out of the sky sounds like something that would need more regulation than the drones themselves

No different from learning a human language I think. The first thing you're exposed to is its sounds and symbols. They look & sound strange and your brain instinctively tries to ma…

I think it's because Swift is so new only a small percentage of people have actually looked at the language spec. First thing I thought of when I saw all the func calls, curly brac…

Aditya, if you're reading this: the next time a TSA agent threatens to call the cops, let them. If you hadn't made any outbursts, you haven't broken any laws. Plus they'd be callin…

The VLC iOS app was developed by a company in France named Applidium, not the core VLC dev team. Applidium develops iOS apps. So no. This does not mean there will be more focus on …

This is one of the most helpful things I've seen posted on Hacker News all year. Thank you very much for sharing.

I thought the tech stuff was pretty realistic (although I refuse to believe Facebook was written inside of emacs). Also I felt the whole "I scored 1600 on my SATs" and shooting dow…
