Thanks. I hadn't yet arrived at the greedy lock portion when I posted the above, but I finished the article soon after and absolutely loved it. The other thing worth noting is that while it sounds like there was some regional bias towa

Combination locks that use letters/characters/non-numeral-glyphs have been around for an astoundingly long time, what's interesting about the word lock, though, is that they start with words, then make the dials. https:&#x2F

I am part way through your trajectory. I was a designer first, fell in love with html/css, eventually gave in and learned js, started to really enjoy that and have now been edging my way to the back end for a while. Now I'm job hu

If you have the time, could you elaborate on those rules? I know nothing about that field, but am very curious.

Yeah, southwest of Boston we are getting wrecked. Still coming down hard, hoping it finishes up soon. I'm glad we had the warnings, and I'll be particularly glad if we lose power, which seems pretty likely at this point, since the

Originally because it was fun and helped pay the bills. More and more recently I code to better understand things I'm thinking about or build small tools that are useful to me.

My inspiration for all of my work is a fear that no one else is going to look at the things I'm looking at, think about the things I'm thinking about or discover the answers I'm trying to find. This is less ego-maniacal than

Not a stupid question at all. A dive through the patent record reveals a ton of amazing ideas for locking random objects up. in my conversations with Bob Swartz he has been fond of saying that locks are essentially latches, which is a great

Yes, it is a very good idea. That's precisely how the Mas Hamilton/Kaba Mas X-series safe locks work. The dial is rotated a few times first, at which point the lock powers on and can be operated, solenoids fired, etc. However, tho

Oh, this is awesome! Thanks for the heads up and kind words . I don't, yet, have any thoughts, but 2 of the 3 mentors/teachers I mentioned at the top are Dutch, so I will be hitting them up for their insights. You can find them at

Mechanical locks will always be more comfortable to me, I'm sure. But I think that has something to do with understanding how it works. I'm a mechanical security guy, I'm able to follow the general field of electromechanical

Most do, only the Haven explicitly positions themselves as anti-key, but Yale offers a keyless experience and it is possible to go completely keyless with both Lockitron and August as well.

Yeah, sorry to fall short of actual physical testing. There are some awesome researchers champing at the bit to get their hands on a collection of these locks, so expect blog posts, conference presentations and papers to start trickling out

So it is potentially as cut and dry as you suggest, but I'm going to dig into the anthropology of security a bit here and posit that in certain pockets of the world we are entering a post-lock age. Where, as Paul Gerhardt said, locks a

I'm glad you referenced that article with your concerns, I'm actually quoted it in, but I think it was a bit of a shallow examination of a very deep topic. I have my sole passion on the line when it comes to the decline of purely

Heh, if you want to go absolutely bonkers you could go with a lockitron/august/Haven on the interior, multi-point locking system in the door, an Abloy Protec 2 or EVVA MCS for your primary lock, and a Drumm Geminy Shield over that

Is there an upper limit to the number of characters this will analyze? I've gotten into arguments here & on reddit that, while civil, are certainly more vitriolic than what the script found. All I can think is that longer diatribes

It has been fantastic watching Darius' myriad experiments over the past few years. His work always has a great mixture of whimsy and serious experimentation.
