I don't know of others that do this at this time. I didn't actually do any research. It is something that I wanted for myself and the way that I like to work. I prefer to hand write as much as possible. I was trying out a Surface Book just because I could hand write my e-mails!

It is working pretty well for me. I used OpenAI and basically started asking my friends to hand write samples for the NN to learn from. They write them various levels of neatness and various slants, font size, etc. I store the handwriting strokes as a series of points and convert to digital text when they are ready. I save the handwriting along side the digital version. It is possible to hand write, then come back days later and your work is still there. Maybe I could make a video to show if it is useful.
Maybe Seoul, South Korea?
The gravity mechanic is cool. When you take-out an enemy it falls out of the sky and you can still crash into it.
Javascript does all sorts of nasty shit like opening the app store on my phone, animating pages, popping up "give me your email address!" notifications, tracking my web browsing, wasting my bandwidth, eating my CPU, dumb crap like making text fade in instead of just showing it to me. I find the web is a much more pleasant place if I can control what JS gets run.
This exact question is addressed in the book "Grit" by Angela Duckworth. I highly recommend reading the book, but to summarize her findings on this question...

talent x effort = skill
skill x effort = achievement

So yes, you can achieve more by starting with a higher level of skill, however putting in effort (through deliberate practice) is the best way to increase both your skill and achievement (talent x effort^2).
Eh, smelting metal isn't easy. Even primitive smelting and forging is complex and needs a lot of experience to get right.
Not bad, contact the defendants attorney in writing, then inform them that you will be notifying the bar as well
Isnt Google's Fuchsia the project to tackle this very problem?

On the other hand it has potential for even more 'closed source'-ness on the handset manufacturer side of Android. And maybe even for other industries, once its market share rises.

Best tools for better project quality and improved development process
Glad it is GA now, but it is still has some issues:

* If i use non core parameter in pipeline, BO ask me to move to classic interface

* If i do not use Github like pipeline, interface become partially useless. It means empty branches, empty PR columns etc. Where is good old custom pipelines?

But anyway it is good move forward!

PS: pipelines itself also has some issues, like really small number of useful steps, literally only sh step used everytime. Also in case of custom pipeline it is still unclear how to abort build in code. And using groovy collections methods is veyr inconvinient (like trying to use .collect to create command like options for next sh step)
Seems like most of these enhancements have matching features in emacs's magit, which also offers many others.

Which is not to dismiss these: Using magit involves its own cognitive load.
Is this finally happening then? I swear I've heard something like this happening every year or so for the past 4 years, only to be delayed by lobbying from T-Mobile / Orange et al.
So for a company, you redirect all the incoming emails under an alias for cold emails to your service and then get them back filtered?
This logic works in the fantasy land that many gamers occupy where its pirates and hackers that cause all gamings ills.

Nintendo is a badly managed company that refuses to do or release things differently, its about the pirates you see.

Activision has aggressively anti consumer practices that including spying on users, and disallowing private servers, must be because of the hackers you see.

Many fanboys have a pathological inability to recognise that the objects of their devotion make stupid decisions, it always must be because of some other evil force.
It's not exactly the same, though. You can buy a random laptop and throw Windows on it, even if it's not the version it shipped with. You can throw Linux on it, and it will almost certainly be usable; sound may not work, it may not resume from suspend, and graphics may be unaccelerated, but if will basically work.

If you're buying a new device, then yes, certainly you should shop for one that's supported on LineageOS or OmniROM, or whatever. But one of the uses of custom ROMs has been extending the life of older devices, and that ecosystem is very spotty.
Ask HN: How to take a screenshot of a complex website in 2017?
Hey,

(I fail at this every two years, here we go again, now with your help).

I want to take screenshots of a few news websites for a little fake news project of mine, and most approaches return something completely different than what I'm seeing when I open Chrome.

Limited height would be better/ok (something like the first 3000 pixels). Those news websites many times have infinite scrolling.

I've tried:

- phantomJS (rendering sucked, tried every technique I could find to wait for JS to load)

- wkhtmltopdf (almost ok, generates a huge 30M image with all the height, no antialiasing it seems)

- https://github.com/gen2brain/url2img (this was the best so far, uses Qt bindings but not the latest version)

- actually run a headless browser in DigitalOcean with xvfb-run and take a screenshot: I failed at this

What I didn't tried was Selenium, because it seemed even harder.

How would you do it?
MD here. Is your father-in-law suggesting that several doctors he works with aren't legitimate physicians?

It seems a bit hard to believe. I've had to apply for medical licenses in 3 states, and it was a colossal pain the ass for each. Took 4 months the first time; and I have a completely clean record. Getting hospital privileges takes forever, too.

If fact, I think it should be easier, especially for those of us who did medical school, residency, and exams in the US.

Best doctor that I know failed 2 of his USMLE exams.

Unfortunately, I think it would have required a second visit.

Until he had confirmation that the court order was for the wrong person; everyone, including the branch manager would have fallen back on "It was a court order. We didn't have a choice."

Armed with the knowledge that it was a court order for a different person with a similar name but different SSN, a stern conversation with the local manager would have probably been enough.
Is there a way to lolcat sl?
It is not true, the slow part of web applications is loading over the network, server side rendering puts a dependency on the network and is therefore vastly slower.

With service workers and client side storage you can get to display at least a shell, sometimes the entire UI without touching the network. It is a lot faster
You're confusing capitalism, which is basically a set of inalienable right, with corporate cronyism.

Who would describe the US data provider industry as free market? Bureaucracy is bureaucracy, whether corporate or government.
Those are cool things but they don't have the rockets with the size and launch cadence to compete in the same market as SpaceX, ULA and Arianspace is right now. Maybe in the further away future they can do it.

I don't understand why some mobile app are so large.

If Twitter can write a webpage that provides the functionality in only 1Mb then what is in the mobile app?
Very soon. Some countries, such as Germany, already discussed rules around self driving cars. In countries with a strong car lobby it won't take long until laws are in place that provide self driving cars without human interaction (once this is safely possible). Otherwise it's not much of a selling argument.

Insurances are also very active developing models around it, so it shouldn't take too long from when we first see that car manufacturers can actually demonstrate the capabilities.
That was one of those things my Norwegian spouse made sure I knew beforehand. It is .02 or something like that, and I believe it is measured slightly differently.

He's also said that I can get penalized - through loss of license and other means - just by being a sober passenger with a drunk driver. It benefits me to make sure the other person is sober.

Samsung has a range of smartwatches and wearables that run full Tizen (Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear Fit 2).

You can install custom software on these devices, and even SSH in over Wi-fi (which sounds like a crazy thing to do on a watch!).

I made a native EFL app for the Gear S2/S3 that did ship (the client was an European airline). The tools are kind of retro (compared to e.g. Xcode), but they work.

Hah, jokes on them. I never use the Windows 10 store.
This reminds me of the old joke about the preacher. He is giving it the full fire and brimstone treatment, shouting that in hell there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth at the eternal punishment. One cheeky young lad asks, "But what if you have no teeth?"
The preacher roars back "Teeth will be PROVIDED!"

yes exactly. you set the price you want. I guess big Venture Capital firms would set it pretty high and a kind of famous lawyer would set it also high.
This will clearly shift a considerable measure from nation to nation, however the essential thought is that you can't make a correct clone, yet you can make a knock-off rendition.
I've never understood the problem with being politically correct. I equate it with not being rude to others.

Yes, I believe that these alternatives will always be available. But it has also been made apparent that the larger part of the consumer base is not interested in the alternatives; they are interested in the mainstream. And the mainstream will always bend in its own favor.
Yeah, In my younger days I'd walk home 5 miles every Saturday from my local club, usually about 1.5-2 hours depending just how drunk I was. No one even thought of driving drunk, it's just something that you don't do.
You are assuming people will mine things and send them to earth.

There isn't much joy in that.

Watching this documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJ5cZnoodY) about Shenzhen I got a very strong cyberpunk vibe, especially the last 1/3 of it. People at the streets fixing electronics, cheap/pirated circuit boards being sold at the curb, etc.
In many contries, if they send you a check, even in error, you are allowed to cash it if you choose. I recommend consulting a lawyer, and keeping it in a seperate account for a while before spending. Local laws vary widely, some jurisdicitions will disagree. Consider local and national laws as they may appy. Ianal.
It is exactly the same. I put Windows 10 on an older Dell laptop. It mostly works, but it's not "supported" and I get blue-screens once in a while. There's just no practical way to keep supporting arbitrarily old devices, even for a company like Microsoft.
I think you are right. Everyone wants to build the next Facebook/IG/Uber. A software company that appeals to the masses and will be front page news. There's likely a lot of opportunity in the fringe area's that aren't mainstream.
However, the base it runs on - Mer - is open source, and there is an alternative open UI (Glacier UI). Unfortunately this further limits the applications that can run on it.

Hong Kong is a great contender
No need to wait that long, just call them and say you'll fax over the proof. Lawyers don't want to be a party to a lawsuit later over a few thousand dollars if they might clearly lose it.

They will keep some of his money as fees and give some out to clients, so then if they can't get it back from clients, depending on the rules, they might have to come up with it all themselves. No regular attorney wants that, nor do they want the hassle.

Just call them all up and say this money isn't from one of the defendants, it's an accidental transfer from an unrelated third party and they will be getting it back.

Google font for premium font what are the alternatives?
And that as a grown adult his/her friends all live in the same general area so that one person can drop everyone off. That'd be absolutely ludicrous here in Austin. Everyone lives in the opposite 30 minute direction. I don't even ask where people live anymore because there's almost no chance they live within 30 minutes (10 miles) of me and I'm central so I'll probably never visit them.

The nights I can plan for a sober driver vs using a TNC are few and far between and usually on the weekend when one of my friends husbands or wives doesn't mind being the DD. This doesn't help during happy hour, etc at all.

Uber/Lyft/TNCs made going out far less anxiety ridden ("will I even be able to get a cab? When do the buses stop?")
That's what I'd like to see, is to add a "--xml" or "--json" flags to any common command (such as ps, ls, grep, find, ...). And have appropriate handling in the shell for xml or json output.
"This item isn't available in your country."

That's disappointing. I should be able to choose Facebook Lite if I feel like it'd be a better experience for me.

Design thinking lessons from our cats – Hacker Noon
They have around 1/2 million subscribers which is a rather large ISP to call it dead. While it is not growing fast that's not Googles goal.

Google fiber is still a useful stick as Google can just say paying you X billion for Y years before running you out of business is option A, option B is not paying you anything you chose. It's a large part of why YouTube has avoided many of Netflix's issues with ISP's.
I have been using it a good bit for some of the deep learning assignments on Siraj Raval's channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A). I have had a really good experience so far. The trick is to find the AMI id for whichever region you want to use the image in and then just put in a spot request for your instance. I just checked the current going rate for a P2.XL in us-east-1 and it was at 0.2355 per hour.

Good job. Just for the clarification, it is well a voxel engine, but not a "2D" one as it makes no sense (voxel means VOlume piXEL, which is a 3D unit box, compared to a 2d unit-rectangle for the pixel), but a real 3d voxel engine.
The good old method to make a voxel like that (specifically, a terrain) is to iterate over the screen column then to iterate over the 'z' coordinate in (3d) world-space. Those loops, for screen space, for world space, is quite an interesting hack of early graphics programming.
However, in the case of this game, it seems the renderer works more like a for x-world for z-world, draw square.
Its hard to imagine how people read anything on the internet without an adblocker.

Great comment, thanks. Agreed that blind users would be at cutting edge of this and provide the most useful feedback.

> they routinely use text to speech cranked up to illegible speeds.

Note that this is not quite what I'm talking about. TTS is a slightly different problem since you're constructing the speech, and you can actually choose voice synthesizers that sound weird but remain intelligible at high speeds. On the other hand, trying to modify existing voice audio (with no text) for greater intelligibility at high speeds is a different problem.
It's expensive and slow to transfer over mobile data, and doesn't significantly improve the user experience.
Don't be so sure that most people are ready to hand over ownership of a major possession to yet another faceless company.
We need hardware that doesn't need to get upgraded every two years. AOSP doesn't cut it since Google inevitably stops building isos for their hardware and the community can't support a million devices. The whole market is sorely in need of generic drivers. The fact that I can pick up a PC from the nineties and install an up to date Linux proves that we're not there yet in the mobile world.

Is there a way currently to install baremetal Linux on a phone without emulating it? A small Linux, usb microphone and VoIP would get me 90% there.
Cap on personal income as a ratio of number of employees (so you don't end up with Wal-Mart-like policies where the bulk of your "employees" make minimum wage and require government assistance just to live, while people at the top make millions) would be great.

Combine that being profitable (after base salaries) and fair profit sharing (eg, across all employees and contractors) and you will have people flocking to your company in droves.
There are quite a few more ways.

The error was committed by the LASD, their response here is wrong:

A few minutes later, she came back with the bad news. “Why didn’t you call earlier? It’s too late for us to withdraw the request. The money was already sent to the court! You need to go down to the courthouse and ask them to show you the court documents.”

It is not his problem what they did with the money, they took it from him plain and simple. The error was on their part and how they correct it on the other end is their problem.

Back in the day when people use MCI for some of their phone services , I got an adder to my phone bill from ATT (my carrier) for a charge attributed to a John Fox. I called ATT a couple times and pointed out that I'm not John Fox and they tried to tell me to call MCI. MCI used their LEC billing agreement to have ATT collect the fee. At some point I explained that I was not an MCI customer, had no relationship with them and that ATT had actually charged this fee to me, which is incorrect - how they wanted to deal with MCI or John Fox was their problem. They credited my account and I never heard about John Fox again.

EDIT: Actually the comment below by CLPX is better - the bank did this, they took his money and it is THEIR problem not the LASD. My point remains somewhat valid, it's not your problem to chase the money after someone wrongly took it - it's their problem. The bank didn't do a decent job of verification - they went on a partial name match alone apparently (no SSN, no account number, WTF).
I was in Shenzhen not long ago. Good shout, but the city is actually very new. It's very clean and the subway is near spotless, so it doesn't give off a dark, dystopian cyberpunk kinda feel to it. Hong Kong is another good shout, specifically Kowloon region. Many Asian cities like these have lots of old neon signs, architecture, and technology that definitely gives off the Cyberpunk vibe
