No one has actually managed to find and actual security reasons not to accept Huawei devices. There were some really poorly informed stories that listed standard features (telnet support in routers) and tried to play them up as a sinister commie plot but they were all pretty laughable. Most countries (for instance here in the UK) assess infrastructure equipment, providers can only buy from the approved and have for decades. Huawei always passed those tests with flying colours.

But I guess "chinese spies eat telecoms babies" is a much more dramatic headline...

Thanks for the feedback! If you want more interesting recipes to choose from, try bumping up the meal complexity. We set most meals to "simple" by default because most people, when they feed themselves, aren't cooking every single meal of the day, and it's easier to stick to a meal plan and not get lazy when things are simpler.

That said, one of the main goals of the tool is to handle figuring out portioning for you. If you find you don't like any of our recipes, you can enter your own recipes and the generator will incorporate it into the plans.

Also, I'll probably bump up the default meal complexity right now since that seems to be a source of a lot of feedback in this thread.

I am not sure if I am talking about the same thing, but I always favor using web apps over native apps. I could be wrong, but I feel like I have more control over my privacy and over my devices using web apps. Aren’t almost all modern web apps progressive, intelligently loading assets in the background?
This is probably me just screaming into the void, but I'll provide my experience anyway.

I've found the entire "finding a new job" / interviewing process to be an incredibly alienating process. It truly brings me despair.

I've been working in IT for my entire professional career. I've worked as an analyst, project manager, and I'm currently a developer. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a phenomenal developer, but I think my "Jack of all Trades" experience provides me with interesting insight. I'm more than the sum of my parts, I have a college degree in something completely unrelated to computers, I've started my own business, I love electronics and 3D printing. I'm attempting to leave my current company of 5+ years, and whether it's the "We only hire the best and brightest" mantra or something else, this experience has been miserable.

I've been asked to do push-ups in an interview, I've been ghosted multiple times, in a variety of places in the interview process. I've gotten berated on the phone by interviewers.

After the last volley of rejections, I've been looking inward whether IT is even really for me. Apparently the economy is doing great, and hiring is up, but that has simply not been my experience.
> As far as I know, it powers all OCR at Google (e.g. in Keep, Docs, etc.).

I think Google devs still work on Tesseract, but only as their side project (not sure about this, obviously)

The average of the output of the formulae (I know it's not just as simple as changing a constant input), or let me customize the number would be fine for me.

Or show me a range. Using the Mifflin-St. Jeor equation, I need 1780 calories using the female equation and 1935 using the male.

The Harris-Benedict equation says I need 1760 if I'm female and 2075 if I'm male.

Looking at those numbers, I'd probably start with a baseline of something in between and trust that whatever I ended up eating in a day would have some variance anyhow. There's not a huge range between those values.
pastemagic is actually a really cool way to read Wikipedia articles. The link density of the usual Wikipedia article is very high and I find it very distracting when some significant portion of the text is in a different color. Combined with the nice typesetting in the output, it makes for a very pleasant reading experience.
While I personally strongly dislike the law discussed in the article, I find the title misleading.

Taken at face value, the law, as approved by the Russian parliament [1], is, ostensibly, designed to improve the experience of the local customers (who, annoyingly, are depicted as too clueless to know how to install the applications they want). It is introduced under the rubric of "protecting customers rights", demands that smartphones, PCs and smart TVs come with pre-installed local software, and surely, surely, could be spun under a different narrative: an adorably humanist one, concerned with tailoring to the local language and culture (which might have been chosen by the left-leaning commentariat if it were about a small country obsessed with preserving its national identity), or a cynically economical one, focused on protecting local jobs.

Again, I am not defending the law — I find it offensive towards the customers who have to delete all that pre-installed crap. I am just amused by the tone that the Economist has chosen to present this news.

> Tesseract is developed by Google since 2006, having been started at HP in 1985 and open-sourced by HP in 2005.

Fun fact: it actually started as a US national defence initiative in the last big AI hype bubble in the 1980s.

While it isn't in the wiki, probably for intellectual property reasons, I'm almost positive Cuneiform originated as the Soviet version of the same thing (I have evidence in notebooks somewhere): OCR was something needed for "AI" of the 1980s in the Soviet system as well.

Had it been further developed by Microsoft ... or Apple, in contrast to Tesseract, it would have continued to be the official OCR of an opposing world-historical system.

I feel that the readers interpretation of what you say change it more on the net, even if you write those things (and more), it's often the case that people will misread or misrepresent what you say. Especially if the gist of what you say is against somekind of group think e.g. cars pollute, public health care is robbery, fascims is good.

Further I believe you get the "I disagree" on platforms where you know one another.

How do you keep yourself balanced/happy as an IT guy/entrepreneur?
Although the answers could probably apply to a broad demographic, "IT guy" and "entrepreneur" were used for clickbait purposes.

Given the demanding (and very dynamic) nature of being an entrepreneur and of most IT jobs, I've seen countless examples of good or great such professionals that:
- get demotivated when it comes to work or personal projects
- give up on projects abruptly
- develop habits of procrastination
- get burnt out
- get depressed
- lose sight of personal relationships

And so on.

I am curious to find out what specific actions or habits have you identified that help you keep yourself from such outcomes. I am also very interested in finding out how do you overcome the situation when you already got into a not so good state.

Indeed, best advice sounds like "manage your time properly, don't overwork, eat healthy, do sports, have hobbies, keep learning, spend time with friends, socialize, etc." but it's pretty if not very hard to always act accordingly.

I don’t want to sound mean spirited, but I don’t really like or trust FB. I would check my feed briefly once or twice a month and post something whenever I finished a book and wanted to announce that.

My attitude changed when I bought an Oculus Go and a week later when I bought an Oculus Quest. These devices use the FB platform, and all the videos that I now upload to FB can now be watched in the VR theater on the Oculus devices.

So basically, the Oculus products are so good that I decided to give FB another chance and I use FB a bit more often now.

EDIT: and the Star Wars Vader Immortal trilogy on the Oculus Quest is my favorite entertainment experience ever, including the industrial strength VR experiences I used to work on. My respect to the teams that did the Vader Immortal material.
rss isn't dead, but i've certainly been to sites/blogs in the past that will have facebook/twitter links but no rss feed (yes, ones that i would like to keep tabs on). that said, it seems creators are generally receptive to adding rss if they can.
Oh very interesting. I'd verified the output was identical a couple of years ago, and that Keep and Docs in production were using the 4.0 beta release at the time. But if Cloud OCR is better, makes sense they would have switched since then.

Tesseract 4.0 has a brand-new neural engine that totally supersedes the earlier engine, however -- I wonder if there's any relation between that and Cloud OCR?

"You'd have to pre-render multiple versions to stream and store online for the group of people who maybe watching”

I don’t think you need to store it. There already is lots of live streaming that merges in adverts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_advertising#Live_Event...)

And that is in cases where the advertiser doesn’t know up-front what the camera movements will be.

With international soccer matches broadcast to two countries, the solution used to be to place each country’s cameras on one side of the field, and have each long side of the field show adverts targeted at one country.

I don’t see that happen anymore.

It wasn’t stated that Russia was mandating device management.

And just like if a regular app can cause security issues, it’s the fault of the operating system and should be fixed, if your data on the cloud can be read by an adversary, instead of only having the private keys on the device, that’s a flaw in the implementation that Apple needs to fix. Yes si realize that everything stored on iCloud is not E2E encrypted. That’s the real issue, not that the data is in China.

Those are the jams I had in mind, specifically to exclude, when I used the qualifier “high-quality.” In a similar fashion, I would not consider Wonderbread to be “high-quality” bread.

Admittedly, it’s a bit of a weasel word, but I think it’s still important to recognize that jam can be healthier than honey. Homemade jam made from whole, ripe strawberries will have fibre, vitamins, and essential minerals like potassium, whereas honey does not.
There's a subtlety here that I think you're missing.

The Hotspot JVM is a C++ program, CPython is a C program that implements the Python language. Both CPython and Hotspot mostly manage their respective memory in the usual styles of their host languages, but they still need some sort of host language representation for their target language objects.

AIUI, this is less obvious with the JVM (where the runtime manages to avoid a lot of host language allocations), but CPython has an explicit PyObject type, and every target language allocation corresponds to a host level allocation in some way. Because the lifecycle of these allocations in C is inextricably linked to the Python-level objects' lifecycle, you don't explicitly allocate/deallocate those manually on an individual level, you let the GC (Refcount in this case) handle that instead. It just turns out that "letting the GC do it" is really just "letting some other logic in my program do it". This means that implementing the Python GC corresponds exactly to implementing GC for PyObject objects at the C level.

Yea, but if we're going to follow the logic of the article, the Harris Poll’s Alienation Index had American alienation at 29% in 1966. Car culture and the general structure of most towns were already mature at that point. I think the reliant of blaming car culture in America is a red herring to point away from not just the digital revolution but also the 90s media blitz. Late 80s and especially the 90s saw a real rapid change in the way we consume just about anything and everything. The VHS tape really came into power in the 90s, meaning most people didn't have to go out and sit in a large room of strangers to see hollywood movies anymore.

While I do understand (and personally do like) places being close together so I can walk around. Don't pretend that city life is the perfect solution. There's the Rat Park experiment that showed utopian cities are not the answer and it plays out in the human psyche as well. People who live in cities are not necessarily happier than those in rural communities. There's a few NGOs that do happiness surveys across the globe. While living in a city may make you richer and maybe even technically healthier in some aspects, very few are happier than their rural counterparts.

Just saying, it's definitely more complicated than just "car culture".
Let me say this in a different way. As soon as you misstate a fact in a public forum where people might not know the truth of the matter, that misstatement becomes relevant to many readers. Because otherwise people will read your supposed fact, assume it is true, and apply it elsewhere.

That doesn't make it necessarily relevant to the original point of whether or not it was an issue that needed to be taken seriously, but that's why I explicitly started my post by stating so.

I honestly can't believe that you're defending a serious misstatement of the conditions of the test on the internet by saying "well it doesn't matter that the premise of my post was wrong". Of course it matters, even if I agree with your conclusion anyways.
