They indeed pay folks to do this. One Professional Russian Troll Tells All: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9269760 The rest of your comments is directing blame on the victim …

Reading is tech: He quickly left to start a string of his own businesses, in sectors from coal to mobile phones.

Some Chinese are probably wondering the same about Elon Musk.

It is probably just a barcode checksum/error code, otherwise they wouldn't have to rely on the values of the first 8 digits. Instead they should generate 4 random digits and store …

Nice. You have a typo here: f(21) = (23 * 854) % 1000 = 17934 % 1000 = 934. I wouldn't be surprised if the last four digits are some form of built-in barcode error checking, and ar…

My argument doesn't rely on their (non) availability.

Don't get me started... It is called a struct. It holds arbitrary collection of any type of data safely while enabling the lazy programmer to pass only one parameter around. It is …

You can find them online. Some might require root some don't. They can also enable complete programmability and deep iteraction with the system if needed, unlike macros. Using scri…

>"Storing the mapping on a large device doesn't make sense" - I agree about this, the large device being a bulky host computer. Strawman. The large device is the keyboard you need …

Yes. See my comment below. The bug is trivially avoided by adhering to a coding standard that actually makes the code better. See my other comment below.

Update: The keyboard boasts itself as a the ultimate hacking keyboard, yet the only "hackable" thing that can be done with it is configuring keys and macros, which can already be d…

Of course you can. Powerful remapping tools exist on both OS X and Android. You can also access the system's api directly, instead of buying hardware to do that for you under the i…

It is still almost always worse. Storing the mapping on a large device doesn't make sense, when you can store a script online or in a small storage device if internet access is a p…

I don't get it. This problem can be solved in software, no special hardware required. Ergonomic aspect is also misguided since touch typing correctly on a standard qwerty keyboard …

There is no way of fully detecting it, because of function pointers.

gcc also doesn't detect the unused variable. Looking at the -Wunused warning description it does so correctly since a variable is considered unused if it is declared only. In this …

I couldn't resist so I tried a table look-up (16 elements) version which was about twice as fast as the multiply version. Intel Core i5-3210M @ 2.50GHz
