A dishwasher micro optimization: put the small forks/spoons face down in the basket, and the large ones face up. Helpful when unloading because these items are time consuming to visually distinguish, but we sort them. Works best if you

I made a Shortcut to strip links. You can add it to the share sheet. It'll give you a new share sheet with the stripped link. Much faster than mashing backspace. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/528c9af856fc46c9a3

Did you have the full GUI running back then? I tried this in 2021 but couldn’t get the GUI to launch. It seemed like an expected graphics lib wasn’t available.

Fasting always gets me into a high focus zone (but I don't have ADHD). Try doing a 48 hour zero-calorie/liquid-only fast. Black coffee and teas are fine. Get plenty of electrolytes, especially magnesium and potassium, or else you&

Nice article. Saw a few things I wish I'd known about. 1. %n in printf would be handy when writing CLIs dealing w/ multiple lines or precise counts of backspaces. 2. Using enums as a form of static_assert() is a great idea (trigge

I enjoyed the rhetorical style used in this article. A nicely presented mixture of humor and information.

Locality has everything to do with performance. It's why your L1 cache is faster than your L2 cache.

It's harder to imagine coming from the IBM of today, but historically the company has earned many laurels from its numerous important contributions to computing. As my computer architecture professor used to say, "everything tha

Although I'm not familiar with the specifics of (1) and (2), the characterization that Intel "took a while" or "were really slow" to enable features might be a bit unfair. (I am also a former employee) Keep in mind

It is helpful, but not necessary. I am listening in on Seattle's trunked radio system with just one, and I get most of the comms. I documented my setup here: https://dantler.us/seattle-police-scanner/

I currently run my own mailserver. It's running on my home computer, which I leave on 24/7 anyway. Administration is quite easy if you start with a well-maintained docker image ,and I found one I'm quite happy with.[0] It h

Are you sure you're looking only the "User Agent"? The text at the top is describing your entire "browser fingerprint." It includes everything the server could gather from you. Including cookies, browser version,

Perhaps the "all at once" attack could work against today's hardware. This is because the mics (in devices I know of) are co-planar and the user may be speaking to Alexa (or whoever) from directly above or below the device.

I'm a bit surprised that this works. It appears that this attack targets a single microphone. However, internal to most of these home assistant devices (e.g. Echo or HomePod) there is an array of microphones. A real sound from a spo

It's pretty easy. With CL.exe (Microsoft's Visual Studio compiler) just use the /SUBSYSTEM:EFI_APPLICATION flag. You may have to manually specify the entry point. Note that there's no default cstdlib, so if you want t

Why would a different accelerometer surprise you? The entire SiP is different between the Series 3 and Series 4. One source say the accelerometer in S4 has higher dynamic range. [0] [0] https://www.anandtech.com/show/

There isn't a guarantee, but there are incentives for phone/platform providers to avoid spying on you in a battery-powered device. Battery life is still a primary selling point, and these companies are fighting hard to maximize b

Skylake was a reasonably big core architecture upgrade (a "tock" in Intel terminology). Several new instructions (XSAVE, AVX512, etc.) were introduced. Perhaps you meant Broadwell?

You did a nice job with capacitors. It was cool to write X7R and have it show up as a characteristic.

It's not too difficult to build your own IR blaster that is controlled by an app. I wrote an Arduino library that lets you send device-specific IR commands based on a generic LIRC configuration file. I run it on an Arduino101 and sen

Hasn't Yelp's app implemented this feature (called Monocle) for half a decade now? Could anyone explain the difference?
