I've been using this thing daily for about five months and really adore it. I use it as a Kindle replacement and with Readwise Reader as a longform article dump. I've read more longform pieces in the last few months than last few years combined. The device is incredibly light, and maintains battery even if you leave it idle all day (unlike my kindles which often drained themselves). Anyway, it's been a nice surprise, the palma.[0]
YouTube Premium has to be the best pay-for deal of any service. I'm frankly surprised by how much adblocking talk there is when YouTube comes up on HN. YouTube is doing what I want all services to do: total elimination of ads as part of Premium. The result is it's one of my favorite spaces online, and feels miraculous in the quality and quantity of content (docs, interviews, how-tos, history, music, archival footage).
Grateful for YouTube and enthusiastic to pay for premium.
High security safe locks have had protection against this for a long time: you press up/down arrows to move from a random starting digit to the correct digit.
On screen pin entry with jumbled number mappings does the same thing. It also makes the inter-stroke delay rather independent of position, because the brain has to search the screen (although repeated digits and previously occuring digits are quicker, which is why some jumble at every keystroke).
Keyboards with OLED keys (like the Apple Touchbar or the Optimus[1]) might also work.
Wow, just realized it passed its 21st anniversary last month. A few iterations throughout the years, but the current form is basically 13-ish years old, regularly updated.
If this is what you actually do for a living, and have done for any substantial amount of time, I have to congratulate you for reminding me what envy feels like.
And if your real job is something more mainstream and this is just a side project, then I have to congratulate you for making it look like you have had all the time in the world to put into it.
But above all that I'm just happy that something like this exists, it feels like what the web should have grown into more broadly, back when it looked like everyone was going to make their mark on the world by meticuloudly curating something interesting about themselves to share with the rest of us.
