@gynvael - Please add a conventional mailing list option for following the updates/new issues. RSS would work too. Twitter even. I can't be the only HNer for whom the Google Groups option is a no-go for more reasons than one.

#72> Android Reverse Engineering Heck yes, I wish more people knew this. It's super easy. There's loads of interesting (and "interesting") stuff in apps. Even better: you can get your phone's framework code (usually in odex files) and decompile it! I've found and worked around some insane things that Samsung has done to their SMS providers on some phones....
Java reverse engineering is supposedly easy. Still trying to find a guide on how to get around Burp's Pro license...
There's a super easy way! You give the fine folks who make Burp some money, and the license restrictions go away!

#73Why the purple? Dont know if its just me, but found the styling to be a distraction. The content is good enough to stand by itself without the font and color gimmickry.
Haha sorry, that's totally my fault. I hired 5 different artists to design the page decorations, and they delivered cool and interesting assets. But then I decided this doesn't really align with my vision and decided to do the decorations on my own in "my usual style". So yeah, this is what you get when a programmer does page design. Sorry :) P.S. Actually it's even worse - I kinda like the outcome, so it will probab…
Don't apologize for it! The varying fonts, the purple header and footer, they all add character to it! Thank you for the effort you put into this! It's amazing and truly captures a wonderful old-school zine with new-school content vibe.

No shit, Sherlock! They go temporarily away (subscription; every year you can pay again; there was a time where this practice was frowned upon, and I remember that time very well), and my employer is a public benefit organization. 350 EUR a year is a lot of money for some organizations/people, especially non-US or the less rich EU countries.

#75The contents list doesn't link to the pages.
Also why no HTML version?

#76For a second there it felt like reading an old 2600 issue. Love the format.
Same!
Re: Paged Out – a new experimental magazine about programming
#77I would purchase a subscription for physical copies of these. Any plans to ever do something like this?
Seconded. I would definitely learn a lot from this. I love the art style also.

No worries, sorry if I came across as overly critical. Thanks for the work, the content is awesome.

Please remove my name from your about page. I am not the administrator of this site and wouldn't spam like this.
Done.
I didn't think I needed to be this specific, but: please finish the job and write an entire about page for your site. Yours still says "Lobsters" up and down it, and even if you search-and-replace the name there's a lot of stuff that's not about your site on there.

#80Great! Will follow and subscribe. I miss magazines like this, in particular Algorithm Magazine, edited in the 1990s by A. K. Dewdney. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Dewdney Note: Dewdney's role in the Algorithms Magazine is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
Could you point out information on the zine itself? I can't find a lot on google. Thanks
The only on-line mention of Algorithm magazine are several articles listed in Mr. Dewdney's curriculum vitae which were published in the magazine. Would this be a good enough source for Wikipedia? The magazine was dedicated to "recreational programming" (but not games) and had a lot of articles about fractals, neural nets, etc. The magazine content was similar to the Scientific American articles written by Dewdney.
I have a few (damaged) issues myself. I'll scan them and put the online if I can get Dewdney's permission.
