Hi HN, I'm Erwin. I built a small free open-source utility that bridges Bluetooth LE MIDI keyboards into the new Windows MIDI Services stack so any DAW or Web MIDI app can use them as if they were wired. I bought a Roland FP-90X piano partly because it had Bluetooth MIDI. On my Windows 11 PC, pairing succeeded, but my DAW couldn't see the keyboard, and notes I sent from the PC never ...
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin discovered a 1,300-year-old manuscript in Rome containing the first known poem in the English language, Caedmon's Hymn. The poem, praising God for creation, was composed by a cowherd from North Yorkshire after a divine visitation.
The author wants to create a new forge that addresses issues with modern forges, such as enforcing pre-commit hooks, customizable PR approval, and smaller hosting units.
The Rotary Un-Smartphone is a followup to this personal project. It's a production-ready ground-up design with all new parts (yes, the rotary dial too) and many neat bells and whistles. 2 displays: Front-side OLED for caller-ID and dial entry, and back-side ePaper for contacts display Q: Do I need to know electronics? What skills are required for assembly? Can anyone build it? A: No ...
CVE-2026-31431 is a Linux kernel vulnerability introduced in 2017, affecting multiple kernel versions. A workaround patch has been attached to disable the affected module.
OpenWarp 是基于 Warp 开源代码的社区分支，支持自定义 OpenAI 接口和多语言。它保留 Warp 体验，允许用户控制 AI 层和凭证。
A supply chain attack compromised the PyPI package 'lightning' versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3, stealing credentials and attempting to poison GitHub repositories. The attack is linked to the 'mini Shai-Hulud' campaign and affects teams using lightning in their dependency tree.

The author is concerned that AI models like Claude Opus 4.7 can identify individuals from their writing style, even if they write anonymously. This could lead to a loss of anonymity for writers and potentially harm those who rely on it for protection.
Softmax is a function that maps vectors into a probability distribution. It takes an unconstrained vector and projects it onto the probability simplex, where each entry is non-negative and sums to 1.
The writer realized they had maladaptive frugality, prioritizing saving over spending on essential expenses and experiences. They learned to reframe frugality as a tool, not a virtue, and focus on mindful spending to achieve a higher quality of life.
A vulnerability in cPanel & WHM allows authentication bypass due to unstripped CRLF in session loading and saving. Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to management planes of significant parts of the internet.

Oil refineries process crude oil into various products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel using distillation, cracking, and other processes. The refining process is complex and requires large industrial facilities to handle the massive volume of crude oil consumed worldwide.
A software engineer built a working Game Boy emulator, Fame Boy, in F# after learning about computer hardware by emulating a Game Boy and using AI to write unit tests. The emulator's development involved optimizing performance, fixing issues with the PPU and APU, and learning about functional programming and domain-driven development.
Rivian vehicles have a core feature of vehicle connectivity that can be disabled to limit functionality. Disabling connectivity will not affect subscriptions like Connect+, but will require separate cancellation.

Tom Burick, a technology instructor at PS Academy, led his students in building a full-scale replica of the 1940s ENIAC computer for its 80th anniversary. Burick's passion for robotics and technology stems from his childhood and he now helps students with autism develop their strengths through hands-on projects.
The SIMD Quad algorithm is a new search algorithm that combines quaternary interpolation search with SIMD instructions to efficiently locate a target value in a sorted array of 16-bit unsigned integers. It outperforms binary search on both Intel and Apple platforms, with significant speedup on large arrays in cold cache scenarios.
The Super Nintendo's components work together at the hardware level with a CLK output pin connected to a copper line spreading to most components. The console has two master clocks, one at 21.47727MHz and another at 24.576MHz, which are used to generate various clocks for the CPU, PPU, and other components.
The user attempted to reverse engineer a childhood video game, SimTower, using a large language model (LLM) to create a clean-room spec. However, the LLM struggled with complexity and verbosity of the binary, requiring a different approach.
The WideluxX is a modern swing-lens camera that captures panoramic images on 35mm film through a single continuous exposure. It preserves the character of the original system while offering a unique way to create images that reflect duration rather than a single instant.
The author built a coding agent for the terminal and bought a 1978 VT-100 to test its compatibility. The VT-100's protocol is still used by modern terminals, but it has limitations, including slow speed and limited character support.
Apple's Mac mini and Mac Studio are in high demand due to their AI capabilities, leading to supply chain issues and shipping delays of up to 4-5 months. Apple underestimated demand, citing a global memory chip shortage and production constraints as the main reasons for the shortage.
iSCSI is a protocol from the era when “the network” meant a rack-scale fibre channel replacement. Initiators and targets trusted each other, CHAP was optional theatre, and a packet from an initiator carried the implicit assumption “we’re on the same L2 segment.” scsipub serves iSCSI targets to arbitrary clients on the public internet. That’s a different set of assumptions. This post is the ...
Belgium will nationalize its nuclear power plants, reversing a 2003 decision to phase out nuclear energy by 2025. The government aims to build new nuclear plants and reduce dependence on fossil imports.
The user explores DuckDB's full-text search (FTS) capabilities, comparing them to other FTS solutions like Elasticsearch and Postgres, and finds them powerful but limited. They provide a tutorial on using DuckDB's FTS extension with Python, including pre-processing email data and querying with Okapi BM25 algorithm.
