    For me, it is "how many passkeys can I have for the same site?", and "how do I revoke them?" Worse, I'm still using LastPass -- but migrating over to Chrome password storage as it …

    This is amazing -- but there is something wrong with (maybe) the WebGL or color rendering. If you go to https://pskreporter.info/pskmap then the ocean should be blue (and it is blu…

    What is the data supposed to represent? Given an IP, I get back some indication of location. Is this (a) The location of the user who uses this IP at the moment? (b) The location o…

    Many companies have internal directories which can be downloaded and (say) committed into git on a daily basis. This could be automated in a cron job. This then gives an immediate …

    That is odd. When I searched for Vitamin D, it showed me a list (which I could sort by $/mg). That list included Vitamin D, Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. I assumed (incorrectly it see…

    I picked Vitamin D as it was an option on the main page. The cheapest offered was $1.1/mg. Costco ( https://www.costco.com/p/-/kirkland-signature-extra-strength... ) sells Vitamin …

    I suspect that my Tesla adjusts its location based on dead reckoning after losing GPS lock except that it assumes that I'm driving forwards. I.e. If I reverse out of my garage, the…

    I'm not convinced that the units conversion is right. The example of 2 Cups of greek yoghurt being 391.32 g. 1 US cup is 240 ml (or 236.5 ml depending on which type of cup you are …

    I had a problem with Comcast that was that native IPv6 traffic was slower than IPv6 over my Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel. Support was no use (no surprise). But I happened to meet…

    The article seems to think that a word is untranslateable if there is no single word in the target language. If I'm not misreading the article, then this is completely obvious -- j…

    I wept when the author mentioned implementing SHA256 in macros.

    I suspect that this unaligned read apporach doesn't work for a bit length of 59, 61, 62 and 63. In the case of 63, reading out value at offset 1, requires two reads as it need 1 bi…

    That leads to a page saying "Cannot locate dashboard account" I did find an email from Cloudflare in April 2011 (seven months after CF started to offer services) which was a respon…

    I note that the times for future stations are in UTC and not BST. Also, when you zoom in to only a couple of stations, the trains seem to vanish occasionally -- maybe when part of …

    I attended a lecture from Conway where he described this approach -- but I don't recall him calling it FRACTRAN. I don't even recall what the particular example computed, but the p…

    Does this api allow me to enumerate the users (by phone number) using the service? That would seem to be bad as well. I. guess that it depends on what their fix was. If this really…

    MY first job (in the last 70s) was working in a TV rental store doing small item repair. In particular, repairing toasters was probably my #1 activity. Essentially the failure was …

    There are easier solutions that involve fewer parts. In particular there is the VID27-05 ( https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803510816905.html ) which is a dual stepper motor, dri…

    traceroute is a useful tool for (amongst other things) determining where a system is physically. It doesn't always give you enough information. Traceroute to news.ycombinator.com: …

    My guess is that they scan the letters that are returned by the post office and hence they don't want anybody writing below the line. I guess that they used to have a problem with …

    In my case, they block me on IPv6 since I use a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel. It certainly used to be the case that my IPv6 connectivity was better and more performant down the t…

    It is a pity that the website does not collect information about whether the participant is color-blind or not.
