Never used it, but there's https://www.nemeio.com/ With the right software, you could even "improve" the layout on a daily basis based on the most used keys the previous day.

I miss the ResEdit days of Macintosh days (i.e. MacOS 7-8-9). You could see/steal/modify/hack the visual assets of most binaries. You could remap keyboard shortcuts, modify menus, etc.

There should be a law requiring chargers to fallback to "free for all" when they have a data connectivity problem. Or implement some kind of offline payment protocol. Heck, your car or mobile phone could handle the payment and pre

London has something like 1300 lampposts which can also be used to charge cars. You can slow charge with very little amps (eg 5A/1.3kWh). Some charge is better than no charge and it’s not too much of an issue if you are street parking

These spots either have a “cars not charging will be towed” sign or charge $/min once you are full. I doubt anyone would call a tow truck in the middle of the night. I haven’t bothered testing what happens if the car unlocks the cable,

Wireless charging for some devices such as phones is 60-80% efficient. For cars, it seems to be in demand per "Several Companies Developing Wireless EV Charging": https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1235/te

I slow charge at home, which covers my need for ~340 days per year. The remaining couple days, instead of dealing with broken chargers, I pick hotels with chargers and/or pick a reliable charging network to fast charge along the way (s

It's nicer to add plugs to lamp posts. If you can retrofit existing posts, there's less electrical/digging work involved. If not, you are adding lighting at the same time. E.g. https://ubitricity.com/en/c

(disclaimer: not an aeronautic engineer) when you double an object, its weight increases by 8x (all three dimensions increase by 2x) but the wing area surface only becomes 4x larger. You thus end up with a worse lift-to-weight ratio. In add

The best defense against potentially malicious hardware wallets is to set up a multisig scheme. If designed properly (with careful planning related to backup/recovery), you end up with better security properties (i.e. defense in depth)

From the outset, you can't prove that RFC 6979 was used. I.e. RFC 6979 doesn't provide provable security. If you want a proof that there are no covert channels, you need to implement some kind of interactive protocol between the s

It’s impossible to go back in time and tell, but I bet lots of companies were opting for Microsoft Exchange/Web Outlook around 2007-2008, because Gmail was advertised as beta. If they had removed the beta label sooner, they might have

Gmail was in beta for 5 years, from 2004 until 2009 — imho it didn’t make much sense to label something as beta when it is used by ~1B people.

I started my blog in 1996 [1]. It started slow -- before I even became an engineer. As I grew as a software engineer, I started to set aside time specifically to write a post. At peak, I was spending ~50h per month writing one technical pos

You could just drop the sentence since the top scoring words are shown below. Other nits: - Gray the submit button until the word is valid, otherwise it's unclear why clicking on the submit button doesn't do anything. - If you are

Nice game! nit: I found the sentence "you found the nth highest scoring word" a little confusing since there can be >n words with a higher score (e.g. there could be 6 words scoring 12 and you found the 2nd highest scoring word
