# Summary of IRC Log from #hplusroadmap (Nov 12, 2013)

* A user asked about testing event emitter components in software development, with kanzure suggesting using a testing framework like TAP rather than relying on timeouts.

* kanzure shared links to GitHub repositories for paperbot (https://github.com/kanzure/paperbot) and its JavaScript rewrite in progress (https://github.com/kanzure/papermonk), noting that the current version needs improvements but can still accept bugfixes.

* Users demonstrated paperbot's functionality for retrieving scientific papers, including a paper on renal vitrification that was automatically fetched when a link was shared.

* kanzure shared links to mobile/radio code worth examining, including Android's Radio Interface Layer (RIL) implementation (https://github.com/android/platform_hardware_ril) and Mozilla's RIL worker implementation.

* kanzure humorously proposed getting the NRA to fund Tor development and biohacking research by framing gene guns as "guns too" with appropriate educational/scientific messaging.

* A user shared a link to a video about reverse engineering Qualcomm software in phones, with another user responding with what might be the specific video being referenced.
