Mattwmaster58··on You've got to hide your myopia away: John Lennon's contact lenses
can you cite the studies? Considering LASIK and most things I google for are just blogspam, I prefer peer reviewed papers
Mattwmaster58··on Vaultwarden: Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust
This does not appear to be true - just tried with the beta and regular Android app with wifi + data off, and was able to access my credentials just fine.
Mattwmaster58··on Vaultwarden: Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust
> Bitwarden is slow, slow, slow

Agreed. The good news is this is changing, they have native apps already in beta: https://bitwarden.com/blog/native-mobile-apps/

I'm using the Android beta and can confirm it's much faster.

Mattwmaster58··on How Olympics officials try to catch “motor doping”
A device could be affixed to each bike that measures wheel speed, as well as pressure cells for the pedals. Any energy that can't be accounted for from the pedals would result in the brakes being automatically applied.

Advantages from wind would also be negated, but I believe that's in spirit of the rule. At first just a single wheel speed sensor could be used, but once the meta evolved to doing stoppies/wheelies on downhill sections both wheels would need to be fitted with one.

Mattwmaster58··on Operation Triangulation: What you get when attack iPhones of researchers
Layperson here so just guessing. If not using the hard reset method, the exploit might fake the reboot sequence to maintain its own persistence. AFAIK, a hard reset is built in hardware and thus impossible to fake.
Mattwmaster58··on How to ramp up a factory consuming a lot of energy?
I would assume dampers would restrict flow, and I thought motors draw most when stalled. How does this work?
Mattwmaster58··on Scrcpy: Display and control your Android devices connected over USB or TCP/IP
there is am Xposed module that does just this: https://github.com/VarunS2002/Xposed-Disable-FLAG_SECURE
Mattwmaster58··on Detecting potential cheaters in Advent of Code Leaderboards
I know a guy in the top 100 and a HFT recruiter reached out to him, mentioning his AoC score. Of course, his resume is already impressive as is
Mattwmaster58··on Subscriptions are out, refills are in
I've gotten around the bank account requirements by simply filling in bogus numbers for the account number and routing info, then asking them to bill my credit card first.
Mattwmaster58··on Launch HN: Requestly (YC W22) – Network debugging proxy for web and mobile
I'm interested in this for its potential reverse engineering apps on Android. I've had some success with `mitmproxy` but I'm wondering what other HN-ers use for this purpose.
Mattwmaster58··on 20% of requests for Wikimedia Commons are for one image of a flower
I was curious what the actual amount of requests HN would have to muster, and with a frequency of 90,000,000 reqs/day, HN would need to hit it with 4,500,000 requests.
Mattwmaster58··on Benchmark: Puppeteer vs. Selenium vs. Playwright vs. WebDriverIO
The variation between puppeteer and playwright is surprising. I thought playwright was a fork of puppeteer with a little bit of added functionality mixed in.
Mattwmaster58··on US travel firm $4.5M ransom negotiation open chat
I've seen that before in crappy support chats UIs so it's probably just that.
Mattwmaster58··on Old Code Gets Younger Every Year
It's suprising what an email from PyPi admins can do. After many emails from different people and countless GitHub issues over the past year, the only thing that got a reply from the maintainer was an email from the PyPi admins.
Mattwmaster58··on TI removes access to assembly programs on the TI-83 Premium CE
Was this because you would have to plot it line/pixel-by-line/pixel?
Mattwmaster58··on New York Times phasing out all 3rd-party advertising data
15Mb when measured through about:performance 70Mb when measured through about:memory

I don't know why they are different.

Mattwmaster58··on Show HN: Tablist – a chrome extension to copy and paste lists of open tabs
Also works with Firefox

Here's the english version of the same link: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/394032-github-deployments-...
Mattwmaster58··on Show HN: Intention – DAG Todo App
Not gonna lie, having an Android screenshot inside of an iPhone on the landing a page really threw me off.
Mattwmaster58··on Obscure Features of JPEG (2011)
I looked for a demo of progressive JPGs online and found this: https://pooyak.com/p/progjpeg/. Pretty cool
Mattwmaster58··on The specification for native image lazy-loading is merged into HTML standard
I could be reading this wrong, but it looks like Firefox Nightly will receive this capability in the next build, and Firefox stable will receive the upgrade in version 75: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1542784
Mattwmaster58··on Disk Prices on Amazon
I assume they got a drive that wasn't meant for their region of the. When they tried to initiate an RMA with the manufacturer, it appears they wouldn't accept it.
Mattwmaster58··on IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 EAP is open
Do you mean for recent, IntelliJ based IDEs? Interestingly, when I tried this with Pycharm Pro 2019.3.2 I got: ``` Error occurred during initialization of VM Option -XX:+UseZGC not supported ```
Mattwmaster58··on IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 EAP is open
Do you have a link for that? I Ctrl+F'ed the page and only found one mention of speed in a user comment.
