cordite··on New Model M Is an American-Made Keyboard That Puts a Spring Back in Your Typing
How can you use vim without the escape key? These model F reproductions lack that.
cordite··on Texas Bans Firms from Taking Natural Gas Out of State
Northern Mexico relies on Texas for its natural gas generation, but due to deregulation or corruption they have insufficient reserves and are going through similar blackout practices.
cordite··on Epic Games steps up Apple fight with EU antitrust complaint
People pay to own their tractors, but yet they can't repair them.
cordite··on Jacquard by Google
This would have been cool in 2018, when kickstarters and IoT crowdfunds would push for wearable tech. It would have mattered then, and be shut down this year by Google when it was no longer successful.

All their marketing is out of touch with the world's current status. Everyone's going places in these videos, running, in contact with each other.

cordite··on Reddit's GameStop, AMC surge is the new Occupy movement
I followed the analogy, this is incredibly detailed and makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the detail in this comment!

Thank you for this example, this really improved my understanding

Could you elaborate on how shorting past 100% is comparable to subletting? How is shorting alike borrowing something?
cordite··on Creating Comfy FreeBSD Jails Using Standard Tools
Wow, I am amazed at this. It’s even got recent history on it too!
cordite··on Creating Comfy FreeBSD Jails Using Standard Tools
I really like how jails get stuff like their own IP address and more. Indeed it seems like the underlying tech is superior. But your point is on target too, the tooling has brought the dev experience to the front with docker.

Is there anything like docker layers for jails? Or.. at least like a tar-overlay and any symbolic links needed?
cordite··on That's not how 2FA works
I recently experimented with the Yubikey OTP feature. Like TOTP, it can be proxied through as there's no challenge that includes signing the website name like FIDO. Also.. The Yubico OTP feature types using QWERTY with letters and no numbers. As I use dvorak, this resulted in considerable confusion as two yubikeys behaved the same.

Interestingly, copying the credentials between Yubikeys will not result in an accepted yubikey OTP. The serial seems to be used somewhere in the calculation.

A yubikey, using the CLI tool, can have TOTP credentials stored inside. This can be used in conjunction with grep and sed for any CLI scripts that may interactively request a TOTP.

cordite··on Ask HN: How do you like developing on an M1 Mac so far?
So, I could dabble around in codepen on it, but if I try running Spotify, discord, a couple more tabs on the side, it becomes less responsive as memory pressure ramps up. It’s nearly impractical to use the chrome inspector.

To get around that I’ve tried using both Spotify and discord in browser, and occasionally Spotify will cut out for a few seconds.

At one point I resorted to using xquartz to run a few things remotely. It was.. okay but frankly vnc performed better.

cordite··on Toxic positivity does more harm than good
Maybe a terrible idea, but it was inspired by the parent comment here..

Fork DogeCoin, when someone goes above and beyond, reward them more each week.

When they want, they can use dogecoin to do something like 20% time.

I'm just following on the satirical nature of the parent comment here, don't take this as a real suggestion.

cordite··on Ask HN: How do you like developing on an M1 Mac so far?
I got mine this week, I'm surprised it doesn't even blow hot air while building node from source.

However, I am greatly disappointed in the fact that I cannot use both usb-c for displays, only one of them. I did not know of this limitation until I discovered things were not working as expected.

Everything is super responsive, it's far better than the 2014 mac mini (4GB of ram) with 2020 SSD.

Rosetta 2 seems to work without any hitches so far.

I tried running some iOS apps, but it seems the ones available don't run all that well. From the ones I could install, it is nice to receive app notifications!

cordite··on Inkplate 10, an ESP32 based 9.7 inch, 1200x825 e-paper display
Crowdsupply seems to be a pre-order for a validated product with a real manufacturing plan in place.

But, be careful and do your diligence on products. Sometimes it's just junk marketed as something else. Personal example: Programmable modules with screens, long battery life--turns out they were just the screen/board/cpu for some unsuccessful china smart watches.

cordite··on Lawmakers Blast Comcast’s Pointless, Greedy Broadband Caps
Instead of a toothless criticism, how about something that changes the nature of their operation.
cordite··on Google Maps' Moat Is Evaporating
Another problem with apple maps: it has businesses at the wrong geographical location.

I was sent off 1.5 miles away on the same road, to a wallgreens, when my destination was a restaurant with friends. I came late. It was humiliating.

cordite··on Dasung just released a 25 inch eInk monitor
I have one of those, I have not determined how to effectively use it.

As well as one of the USB dasung paperlike screens. Unfortunately accessing the software and use on modern windows and mac os seems impossible.

cordite··on Big Sur 11.1 External Display Issues
Even with switch res x, the most I can push vertically is 1080 with the same aspect ratio. I have pushed a standard 16:9 4K before.

In particular, my MacBook is the 2015 model, 15 inch.

My solution is switch res x with two outputs, 2K each, and picture by picture mode. However it has problems. Like you can’t zoom cast a window that overlaps the center.

cordite··on Big Sur 11.1 External Display Issues
Given they don't even support 5120x1440 on displayport on Mac OS, while bootcamp windows can on the same hardware, Apple just is not prioritizing external hardware that isn't in their store.
cordite··on Gmail having issues
Yep, another here too. Weird really weird when both emails have existed with this forwarding scheme for over 2 years.

This is a perfect target for the 3090 I can’t get.
cordite··on AWS Lambda pricing now per ms
Yes, it's in ECS, which is why I said "like ECS"

I'm asking for Lambda to have externally supplied secrets

cordite··on AWS Lambda pricing now per ms
This is great, AWS.

A feature I'd really like next is secrets as environment variables like ECS.

Retrieving SecretsManager secrets and SSM Secure Parameters in application code is messy and provides significant friction for developers on my team.

cordite··on E Foundation – deGoogled unGoogled smartphone OS and online services
I got the Silent Circle Blackphone [1] (or silent phone) back in 2016.

My experience was terrible battery life, slow to update operating system, overall lack of attention.

E Foundation strikes me as quite similar, I have high hopes for privacy in the mobile space but unless someone really can fund that indefinitely, I don't see updates going out for a $600 smart phone (499 euros) for the lifetime a phone should have.

cordite··on Arm64 Windows running with hardware virtualization on Apple Silicon
Is Microsoft planning on arm emulation of x64 as well?

Seems like a very interesting future if they are.

They only offer 3 domains for free on their pricing page.
