That's a use case for the good 'ole iterated number!

Eventually you roll off the end of the history check, and can reuse the original on the next iteration.

In my practical experience, I've never had a site where this happens with an account lock on bad password aggressive enough to lock me out before I find the iteration I'm on.
There are actually provisions that are supposed to prevent that. It's called the enablement requirement. You cannot claim an invention that you don't know how to make. But in practice, it turns out to be easy to argue around that; there are so many non-experts involved in the process. So here we are.

If crypto is %100 scam why PayPal is launching stablecoin on it?
I thought crypto is just a %100 scam and useless thing. Why arey they still bothering, HN? It's scam, right??

How can I report and share information so they fix mistake about not seeing the scam?

I recently added a smart thermostat but picked a provider that works completely offline and has a good Home Assistant plugin (Wiser https://www.draytoncontrols.co.uk/products/Smart-Heating/Wis...). It was recommended to me by people in the trade that Wiser is the "cheap" model, but I'd much rather go for the budget option if it means I can go offline and it still works. Would never touch Nest, Hive, Tado etc, I want this to last longer than any of these companies are willing to provide support.

Anyone know of a dumber system that has thermostatic TRVs + per room scheduling? Ideally with an offline screen to administer?
It’s like the 4 minute mile tbh. If we know it is possible, we can and will find a way.

This is a really nice idea. It's also small enough you could hide it behind the living room TV and it would probably make a nice little media center PC.

Protecting Yourself From Phone Theft
I wrote this guide for friends after hearing that petty thieves are becoming more sophisticated. Rather than just sell a stolen phone for parts, they watch people type their PIN and then steal money and lock the owner out of their accounts. I hope it’s useful and welcome any feedback!
What do you do if some website requires you to change your password for some reason? Of course you could use an alternate method - like reading vertically instead of diagonally for that one website - but now you need to remember how many passwords each site has made you generate.
HN site suggestion, popover title bar on minor scroll up
It would be great if when we are down a few comments and forgot which article we clicked, a slight scroll up would make the title appear in a small horizontal popover to remind us.

Exactly. It is a reason I never install it when updating Nvidia drivers (yes I know I'm missing out eg. on shadowplay but I don't use it anyway).
> They search for a place or POIs and then use navigation.

In big cities, there is construction happening everywhere, POIs have closed down or changed location after the pandemic.

Street names are the only thing that stays the same.
Do not do this. It's just crappy security practice.

Password managers give you versions & history (you need to rotate passwords occasionally), a TOTP generator+seed store, configurable password generator using a schemes of characters (some websites only allow specific characters), is encrypted at rest & in memory so it's more secure than a piece of paper in your wallet, is backed up online, and of course you only have to memorize one master password. (use BitWarden or 1Password, the rest have downsides/limitations)

Besides, as XKCD made popular, long phrases of words are easier to remember than random passwords and contain plenty of entropy.

Also, people aren't "good at securing their wallet". I'm sure as hell not gonna write my bank account password in my wallet and then walk around Barcelona, Athens, Paris or Rome.
The KeePass unhosted ecosystem seems to fit your requirements. I recently switched to it from 1Password and am happy with it. I distribute the database to my various devices with (open source) Syncthing.
I make a lot of marijuana paraphernalia (stash boxes, rolling trays, pipes) all from wood. Its a great stress reliever (the wood work, not the weed - never mix the two), and people love them and buy them.

With each new product, I try to add a new skill to it. So for my stash boxes [1] (I've only made 3 so far -- all prototypes), I have an "air-tight" lid that requires being within 0.001-inches, and the lid incorporates a rolling tray on the underside, so you open it, flip it over, it reseats inside the box, and you have a stable tray to grind you herbs and roll a joint. I haven't figured out mass production on it yet, though, so each one takes me about 2 hours of work, and none of them are perfect, but that is the fun part of it. Figuring out how to make something is easy, figuring out how to make it more than once and quickly is a challenge.

I tried using OSM. I could not figure out something as simple as searching an address.

I avoid google with passion. Ive been able to get off chrome, gmail, GCP, but getting off maps is next level frustrating.
having lived in NYC, which has a more intense albeit similar vibe, I have come to appreciate having a comfortable place to go back to at the end of a day. I think that makes a total difference on your experience. That and commute time. Cities like that offer so much, but I personally prefer to take bites of it whenever I feel like it. I think the biggest wins are the job market, career progression, the business opportunities, the fact that it's one of the best travel hubs in the world, and the insane amount of quality and diverse food, entertainment, and shopping options.
Yes, the first, and sure! So the reason tabs are great in vim (and emacs, and you can kinda do the same with kakoune) is because they are collections of windows (which are views of buffers).

Splits are the main thing. Imagine we have 3 files open in splits like this:

┌───┬─────┐
│ │ B │
│ A ├─────┤
│ │ C │
└───┴─────┘

You can do that in any editor. Now lets say you want to open two more files D and E and have them split side by side. In vim, you can make a new tab and create that layout and then quickly switch between A/B/C & D/E. You cannot do that in VSCode or JetBrains. If you're in section B and open a new file, it will make tab inside section B.

When I'm using those editors, I find myself constantly creating and destroying layouts and it drives me insane. Let's say I'm editing some files and want to look at the diff of what I've done so far, in vim I can open a new tab and have diff|original. In VSCode it will open the diff in one of my splits, and since it's a diff, it will be split in 2 as well. On my laptop I can't see anything if my diff|original only takes up half my screen, I have to resize/close splits at that point and then going back to what I was doing is more difficult.

When I'm working on code and writing tests, I'll usually have my tests in one tab and the code in another. Or if someone asks me a question, I can make a new tab, start searching/reading code in there and then quickly go back to where I went. I find it extremely handy for context switching.

> (I am actually bad at buffers, I still see them as just "opened files").

I think that's fine. That's the mental model I have as well, except you can have non-file buffers as well, e.g. for plugins. It's actually another great thing about vim, you have to actively try to break the normal hotkeys, otherwise everything works. You can use the same keys everywhere to navigate around in any plugin (unless they override them).
Your example is misleading; “touch-some-grass” is hardly random. “horse-battery-staple-correct" is presumably randomly chosen, and is therefore a better example phrase.
Google Maps often misses paths in parks that OSM has. I don't mean obscure trails deep in national forests, I mean paved paths in city parks. Google maps seems optimized for directing people to businesses that might advertise with Google, anything else languishes.
this is 2023, use KeepassX. If you're really paranoid, store it on a offline laptop.

but if you want real security, use a security token (e.g. yubikey) or some other smartcard solution.

I don't see in the article or thread, anyone else remember when in ~2012 PGI (Portland Group, who at the time were a subsidiary of STMicroelectronics), a long time builder of high-performance compiler tooling was showing a new round of platform-independent parallel accelerator tooling including teasing a credible independent CUDA implementation that could target non-Nvidia platforms, then Nvidia bought them in 2013 and it disappeared from the face of the earth in favor of "we're excited to be working on CUDA Support for FORTRAN"?

...Yeah.

Nvidia seems well aware that the "There is existing code many users want to run written in CUDA, and you can only run CUDA code on an Nvidia part" situation is their competitive advantage.

ATI/AMD's failure to settle on a stable GPGPU toolchain (CTM/THIN/Brook+, Stream, ROCm with OpenCL, HIP, and perpetually broken CUDA compat...) and OpenCL's ugly boilerplate gave them an opportunity to get that core set of lock-in software, and they're not giving it up without a fight.
You're delusional if you think that many Canadians won't still "get their news" from Facebook, et al. Some will add more bookmarks to their daily web pit stops. Many won't.

Perhaps not a large use case, but I use street names regularly when discussing bicycle routes. "How to get from Town A to Town B by bicycle" often relies on street names - take Rt 123 for 2 miles, turn left on Fancy Farm Lane, etc. The route-finding often keeps you on Rt 123 for the whole route, but it's a busy dual carriageway and really not suitable for bikes.

The sensor wouldn't wait for the whole travel and hit of the hammer, instead it would measure hammer position/velocity at all times and replicate that, so the latency could be fairly small, I would be curious if small enough for a musician.

In the article they mentioned "[...] activated by solenoids, a proven technology even used on some Spirio Steinways.". On Spirio Steinways's website they advertise a player piano model called Spirio [0], and in the description it they mention their capabilities as "[...] measure hammer velocity (up to 1020 dynamic levels at a rate of up to 800 samples per second) [...]", a sensor at 800Hz would mean a sensing delay of 1.25ms as a starting point. To that we would need to add the mechanical delay of the solenoid, unfortunately I couldn't find a source for how fast are solenoids (the fastest I found was a solenoid hydraulic valve fully closes in 13ms, but that is the full travel, I couldn't find info on response time for first movement), so I'll make an out-of-my-ass guess that a fast solenoid starts acting in two or three ms, then round up and estimate the total delay to 4ms.

So would my 4ms guess be too much for a musician? I don't know, not my fields, my guess (I've been doing that a lot today) is that if we are talking tempo it is probably too little to matter. So my only worry would be phase, if a musician's ear is sensible/trained enough to detect phase (I don't know if it is, probably isn't right?), then a 4ms delay would mean being in antiphase to the expected response at ~125Hz, that is the B2 key.

As a piano player from young age, for a while recently I thought there was something unfair about piano key sizes: if keyboards were narrower, wouldn’t it be objectively easier for more people? Besides, my fingers are thin, why do I need all that area?

Lately, I’m tending to think otherwise.

If narrower keyboards were to start being manufactured, people with longer fingers would just write arrangements with wider chords for these keys—and people with shorter fingers would be none the better. We cannot demand progressively smaller and smaller keyboards forever.

Furthermore, upon reflection I realized that for some techniques, especially those involving wide staccato jumps, larger keys are actually beneficial even for people with shorter fingers—as you throw hands around, larger keys provide more forgiving “landing pads”, allowing for higher speed than if you had to be precise so as not to accidentally trigger a neighbouring key. In fact, I suspect smaller keys would benefit one or two specific scenarios (e.g., a wide one-hand chord), while being detrimental to other techniques.

All in all, I do not believe it is a handicap. Pick arrangements that work for you. Adapt arrangements to your physique. Narrower range chords do not even remotely imply unimpressive arrangements! Yes, if there is something you want to but cannot physically play, that sucks—but we all have to pick our battles; I have seen pianists with less reach than me demonstrate mind-blowing technique that is beyond my capabilities, and by now I guess will be so forever.
A few comments on diamagnetism:

The most strongly diamagnetic materials that aren't a superconductor are bismuth and pyrolytic carbon, a graphite-like material.

Bismuth has a density of about 10g/cm^3, and a diamagnetic strength (X) of -16.6 x 10^-5. It won't levitate above a magnet because it's just too heavy.

Pyrolytic carbon has a density of 2g/cm^3, and a diamagnetic strength of -40 x 10^-5. Thin sheets of this lightweight material will levitate over strong magnets, provided the magnetic field alternates in a chessboard pattern.

LK-99 must be similar in density to bismuth, and the videos (like below) show large chunks of it levitating. If it's not a superconductor, it's the most diamagnetic room temperature material ever seen, by orders of magnitude.

And on top of that, if pure diamagnetism were at work, the samples would have to slide off the magnet. They wouldn't stay there and float. It's similarly unclear why the material seems to always float at an angle. It seems to track the field lines in some way.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/03/science/lk-99-superconduc...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism#Materials
Diamagnetic strength = susceptibility

My background: physics, but not superconductors.

In my professional life, I use jQuery daily, in my personal projects, almost never. BUT that doesn't mean jQuery doesn't have certain niceties that plain-old javascript doesn't. But implementing them in modern javascript is only a few lines of code, so I end up with my own micro-jquery usually by the end of a project, because I will implement a feature from jQuery I like that doesn't exist (or at least, that I don't know about).

I usually do something like:

const $ = function(selector) { };

at the start of every project, implement document.querySelectorAll, then return an object with a handful of functions like on(event, callback), off(event), one(event, callback), attr/data/prop(name[, value]).

All of them are basically just tiny <10 LOC shims for a lot of built-in functionality. But that way I still get the niceness/terse-ity of jQuery, but not the bloat and overhead of it being able to still do:

$('.selector').one('submit', () => false)

is a lot nicer than

document.querySelector('.selector).addEventListener('submit', () => false, {once:true}).
On libre drivers? No.
If it doesn’t belong there then it doesn’t belong here.
> You usually only get that initial rush in open source when it's a big company driving the project in the first place (LLVM, say).

LLVM began as a research platform at UIUC. In terms of public record, Apple only began putting money into it around 2005 (primarily by hiring Lattner). It might have received other corporate funding before and during that time that isn’t well documented, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say that it was driven by a big company from the get-go.

Yeah, nah.. chips or bust. The only people I've ever heard say crisps are British or 70+

It's a packet of chips if you mean crisps, or just chips if you mean hot chips. In a situation where disambiguation is needed I'd probably clarify with "hot chips".
It seems like people aren’t consciously aware of both how easy it is to game online platforms and how distorted our perception of numbers are online.

You can make the tiniest issue seem like a massive global concern without much effort, better yet enlist your friends and you can get the issue trending on other sites too because now lazy orgs have no problem using Reddit as a source. It’s of course not just Reddit, every platform has deep problems with people gaming their prevention systems, bot farms, trading accounts, and so on. That’s before you get into groups/corporations actively trying to push a very specific narrative in an organized effort.

It plays into the second thing I mentioned which was the distortion of numbers. The way we perceive stats online is very interesting, in that 2000 followers is a tiny insignificant thing, but 2000 upvotes is a major thread. This general distortion makes it very difficult imo for people to really grasp when something online is “real”.

So I get why some just opt out and view online life as just a funny thing irrelevant to reality. It’s kind of easier that way.

Yeah, I have found the same in my profile. This has been discussed recently in various posts. That's why the flagged link is in the profile now.

There is a major temporal component to posts, comments, and flagging. I am not sure what good comes from unflagging my mistakenly flagged items when they are usually at least days old by the time I notice.

Considering the gravity of that particular mechanic, I would argue that something along the lines of the "are you sure?" prompt used in the delete action would be really helpful.
