Internet connectivity is very Wifi Ultra Boost for human beings especially in today's time when everything has eventually shifted online. One needs fast connectivity to access information, work-related things and entertainment portions online. Individuals nowadays have a habit of watching a lot of stuff online or play video games online and that takes away all the speed and connectivity. Bad internet connection not only ruins your experience but one's mood too.Click Here https://jotform.com/gadgetreviews/wifi-ultraboost-updated-20...

Why not upload it to Google Photos. It will do the OCR and make the text on your photos / screenshots searchable with a sweet UI in the browser.

If you still want to grab the text yourself you make a copy to Google Keep and use the "grab text" function.

Works for me, I take full screenshots of interesting stuff so the url is still visible when I want to go back to the original.

Obviously I have a paid G Suite account at Google. That comes with a very good set of privacy protecting rules. Doesn't matter how you roll your stack eventually you are going to be dependent on a 3th party. Better use one that offers full encryption and 2FA to lockup your data.

That's precisely one of my points against using object-oriented approaches to model domain data in business-related, ERP-like applications. I always go for simpler data structures representing relational database records instead. Way more flexible.

Thanks for the feedback - I agree that I need to do some work on how the axes scale and where the ticks go, and I see the bug you are talking about with the axis being greater than the sum. I think it is due to the placement of the tick. The very top of the axis is 99.8 but the label gets placed a bit lower so it looks like that. Will sort that out.
It’s fascinating, ever since I first saw the FM Towns II (which was recent; I was not old enough during that era of computing,) I’ve had a nagging desire to try to purchase one. Sadly, shipping something like this to the U.S. from Japan is quite expensive, so maybe I will just be grateful someone is working on emulation software. :)

This is actually great news, China is returning to a pre-western interference/corruption state.

In the end it seems the phony protests and other types of agitation funded by western intelligence agencies and capital weren't successful.

99% sure China's remaining illegal drug problem is further reduced thanks to this news. The criminals will now have to peddle their garbage elsewhere if all goes according to plan.

Imagine believing that man-made pesticides which are neurotoxic for humans and kill the required animals (worms,...) and poison plants themselves are better than organic farming.

Pesticides start a downward spiral because the soil quality gets worse and worse. So the plants are less and less nutritious. No amount of artificial fertilizer can replace the delicate balance of nature.
Beliving you can outsmart a complex system such as nature with just by adding some additional fertilizer clearly demonstrates a severe lack of understanding that nature requires a complicated cycle THAT JUST WORKS BY ITSELF if you don't mess with it.
There is a very recent Jepsen report on MongoDB. http://jepsen.io/analyses/mongodb-4.2.6

> Jepsen evaluated MongoDB version 4.2.6, and found that even at the strongest levels of read and write concern, it failed to preserve snapshot isolation. Instead, Jepsen observed read skew, cyclic information flow, duplicate writes, and internal consistency violations. Weak defaults meant that transactions could lose writes and allow dirty reads, even downgrading requested safety levels at the database and collection level.

There is no real reason to limit it to a region but they do. Plug adapters are easy to come by and one place I saw a spec which said 100-240V 50/60Hz for the power adapter. But marketing/shipping/support/multiple SKUs might want them to limit distribution. But they are not up-front about it.

And you do not figure out until you are ready to order.

It should be obvious to put a prominent note on the landing page that the product only is available in select locations. Especially for a global brand.
I don't think the distinction between the signed and unsigned integral exists for the most general integral, the Henstock-Kurzweil integral. (I could be wrong, but an orientation seems to always be implied in being able to compute a Riemann sum over a tagged partition.)

This distinction is probably related to the Lebesgue integral's inability to integrate functions unless they are absolutely integrable (since it needs to be able to compute the positive and negative components and take the difference, which being finite to make sense, must be absolutely finite) and is distinct from the Henstock-Kurzweil integral which works directly with a tagged partition of the underlying set (which implies an orientation) and is able to integrate (some) functions which are not absolutely integrable.

Nevertheless, moving to differential manifolds introduces problems for the Henstock-Kurzweil integral becames the local orientation in charts does not always induce a sensible global orientation. However, integration on a manifold isn't so much integration of a function of several variables as it is integration of several functions of several variables. That one needs additional machinery to deal with the "several functions" part is unsurprising.

I can't recommend studying the Henstock-Kurzweil integral enough! Strangely enough, despite being more general, it is far more approachable than the Lebesgue integral.
As far as I know so far most of the lithium used has been from existing copper mines, where there's a lot of lithium, so that's made pinpointing it and extract it fairly cheap. I remember reading there's 5-10 years worth of lithium left in these mines.
It will be interesting to see what happens once we need to start looking for new sources again.

> Compilers can be made more simple

In relation to this issue, I do not see how. Today, someone can make a C++ compiler for a little endian system, or a retargettable one only for a group of little-endian systems, without any additional difficulty coming from the fact that C++ can also be implemented on big endian. Quite literally, that compiler developer need exert zero brain cycles even thinking about big endian.

C++ doesn't require implementors to have anything to do with big-endian.

A language standard that doesn't talk about endianness at all is smaller and simpler than one which specifies it, because that represents extra detail which generates extra requirements that require more sentences.

For C++ to "support" big-endian, all it has to do is not mention it: not give any requirements about it. That's not something that then needs to be dropped at any time.

A compiler project can drop big-endian; that's obviously different. ISO C++ isn't a compiler project, though.

I'm currently building a note-taking app on my free time, with syntactic coloration. I had the choice to go with Electron and CodeMirror, or spend all my time learning new tools (and most likely give up after two weeks). I went with Electron.

Higher demand causes lower prices? From the article:

> "But a battery electric car needs so much battery capacity—40 to 100 kWh, thousands of times more than a smartphone—that they've significantly increased the global demand for lithium-ion batteries. That has helped drive additional price declines, which have started to make it cost-effective to use batteries to improve the electric grid."

You need to know both demand and supply to forecast price effects when either or both change. The simplistic assertion that higher demand leads to lower prices is wrong on its face.

I'm no expert, nor an economist, but I think it'd be more correct to say that higher demand inspired investments that resulted in more supply, which grew faster than demand, thus driving price declines.

EDIT: Another inconsistency that bugs me:

> "Frith told Ars that a common battery technology in the last decade was "NMC 111" batteries with equal parts nickel, magnesium, and cobalt. Now companies are starting to move to NMC ratios of 811—with eight times as much nickel as manganese or cobalt. Nickel is two to five times cheaper than manganese or cobalt, so a formula with more nickel is cheaper to produce per kg."

So does the "M" in NMC refer to magnesium (as stated first), or manganese (as stated second)?
It seems they’re not very interested in resolving the problem?

Too busy, or just don’t care?
I didn't know "gaming cafes" were still a thing. I also wonder what the bandwidth is like. Processing power is straightforward to acquire (buy GPUs) but decent bandwidth can be very hard to acquire in certain areas and yet is necessary if you want to rent out those machines as clients need to bring the data to them fast (labelled assets for ML training, etc).

> But even hibernation doesn't always work. My custom-built desktop PC frequently wakes itself out of hibernation in the middle of the night. I don't even know how that's possible, because I thought hibernation was "off, with RAM saved to storage". Which is just wonderful when I'm sleeping in the same room.

This is generally using ACPI 'wake timers', which allow the RTC on the motherboard to wake up the system at a particular time (which I think is a useful feature, but only if explicitly requested by a user). Windows is particularly bad at this, since scheduled events are allowed to use this by default to wake up the PC when they are supposed to fire (and 'UpdateOrchastrator' has one which fires in the middle of the night). There's a decent bit of info on how to identify why this is happening and stop it here:

C++ has the stable Itanium ABI too, but that doesn't help when needing to bind with code that uses templates or preprocessor macros since those features are inherently language dependent. That's why re-wrapping the code with a C-compatible ABI is often a better approach. COM can also be accessed from C, by the way.

> Training -- Schools should be covering the training problem in this PDF, and i think that would help a lot.

This just raises a chicken-and-egg problem: why should schools (primary, secondary or tertiary) teach a language that is not "mainstream"?

Is there a language that is more "functional" than Python or Lua that's designed to be a teaching language?
Good point about the line chart. There are a few other ways I considered as well: using a clip-path to make an area chart, or using borders of rotated divs for each segment. I had not seen it done with background gradients the way I did it, and honestly I wanted to try it that way and got caught up in it. I may revisit the other methods and see if I can make something simpler.

Because they have one job. That job is not "be the caretaker of this flock of people," and honestly, trying to socialize that risk at the firm level leads to a lot of problems (not the least of which being that the firm can fail in a crisis). The purpose of IBM is to make IBM's owners money.

When the stock price drops precipitously, they lose money instead. When the stock price falls so low that they fall out of indexes, it will then go even lower, as the companies which hold the stock in an attempt to mimic an index (index funds, etc) switch to getting rid of it instead, which means selling more of it to an already-skeptical public.
> Why do we need jet another duplicated effort like libinput?

That's the mentality of the Freedesktop-Redhat-Gnome-Poettering-Wayland-whichever-comes-next crowd.

Take a piece of software that's been working for years and fulfils pretty much every need (after a couple of decades of bug fixing and feature completing), declare it deprecated, and propose/impose a replacement that you push as 'better'. Better for what, in which way? It doesn't matter, just say it is 'modern' and the present system if a messy pile of cruft. Don't forget to make 1 or 2 blog posts which will be pasted as the definitive authoritative reference on the subject each of the 1000 time someone raises a problem with the new tool or its approach.

If you want to make the tactic more efficient, first become the handler of the present system and then 'actively' stop maintaining it and refuse to add the few features that new usages may demand, so that that you can justify your claim of deprecation.

Then you just have to spend 10 to 15 years getting your brand new toy to an equal condition as the former, and achieve feature parity. When you are done, the super lean and clean model you advertised 10 years before has become the same kind of old farts' mess you ranted against, sometimes more messy because you started by actively fighting against the extensibility which, according to you, was the root of all the mess in the older tool, in order to impose a clean, reduced set of functions, so you had to resort to dirty hacks to add the requested functions. After boasting the first couple of years from conference to conference, don't forget to whine all along the next decade when real and boring work and rework has to be done to reach feature parity.

Then, you're finally done, pick another part of the ecosystem (that users had voluntarily picked because they like it or because it was doing the job well for their use case) and repeat the same procedure.

You can find the i486 programmer's reference manual easily. It contains, in the part documenting all the instructions, the number of cycles they take. (That's kind of a simplification, but in the context of the in-order, small pipeline, and not-superscalar i486, not by much.)
I'd say higher demand led to more R&D. Supply alone wouldn't drive the price declines, as it used to cost too much to produce high battery capacity so there was a price floor. As demand increased, justifying the R&D helped break down that floor. That and government dollars.
I get the impression you're idealising the free market. The numbers[1][2] speak for themselves in proving that universal healthcare is the most affordable way to provide good healthcare.

In the UK the NHS (2016) per capita cost was $4,192 (PPP) and in the US the per capita cost was $9,892 (PPP). The OECD life expectancy average for the same year in the UK was 81.2 in the US it was 78.6. Comparable healthcare outcomes for vastly different costs.

I don't know how the politics of healthcare and lobbying differ between the UK and the US but whatever they are the numbers show that Universal healthcare is better for everyone in spite of your (or really anyone's) arguments against it.

I think the problem may stem from the economics of winding machines. They're a huge investment, and require comparable investments in clean room space, and it's hard to increase capacity.

If Dell or Tesla is going to commit to a large number of cells per quarter, Panasonic or Samsung or whoever can install and operate that many winding machines (or, in Tesla's case, install an entire factory). If somebody wants less, they're buying excess stock that's not earmarked and it makes sense to pay more for that.
I've never been. Just looked at the favicon and thought it would have been better if they used a XOR instead of a NAND, as their slogan is "We can't be both right". Then I realized I had neglected the case where both can be wrong. NAND seems appropriate, indeed.

Kafka is one of those things where if you're new to it, especially if you're coming from Rabbit or similar, you might tend to assume the happy path - exactly once delivery. This is a bad mistake (whether that's possible and to what definition is not a debate I'd like to dive into now). What you should expect from Kafka is at least once delivery.

There will be times when you lose offsets or when you actually want to replay every message, so take an hour and figure out what that means to your app. It's usually only a few lines of code in your consumer that compares source timestamps, but it's by far the most beneficial thing you can do when working with Kafka in my experience.

It's also relatively easy to hit "tens of thousands" messages/second, especially in replay or bootstrapping scenarios, and that's when Kafka becomes useful to the non-FAANG companies.

I don't know about "serious" money but I was good enough at Xevious in college that people would give me quarters to play so they would watch.

I switched to pinball and learned how to find machines that were hard to tilt and would put up the kind of high scores that people would think were impossible. I found that if you played like that at a state school they would threaten to kick you out of the gameroom, but if you did that at an Ivy League school (grad school) nobody would confront you about it.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
