Sampling vs. Tracing
You need to maintain continuous residency for OPT, so this ruins a student’s chance at staying in the US after they graduate.

The timing is also incredibly sudden. Graduate students have been in the US for 5-10 years. They have leases and cars and friends. Giving them a few weeks before deporting them is cruel.

The concorde was woefully less efficient than modern aircraft but this wasn't because it flew supersonically but instead because it used turbojets. Modern aircraft use turbofans which are far more efficient. The concorde was actually designed to save fuel as supercruise is more efficient than transonic flight for a given engine. Unfortunately turbofans for supersonic flight weren't developed until the late 80s, by which point there was little demand for a new SST.
I had one preordered, but I cancelled my order once I got a Rocketbook. I usually phone-scan everything from the previous day the following morning. Their handwriting transcription is 98% accurate for my handwriting and the process of checking for and fixing errors helps remind me of what I’d just written. Then it all goes into either a text file or, more recently, WorkFlowy. I even can handwrite Markdown and use hashtags for searching later. Best of both worlds for me.
The OP has clarified that he thinks that women inherently do not have the skills needed for the tech industry. It's not an unusual attitude, and challenges your assessment that this is a 'pipeline' problem.

As long as tech workers think that some races have 'cultural' problems and as long as some tech workings think that there are differences between men's and women's brains that make women less suited for tech work, I think we have to stop dismissing this as a pipeline problem.

The prejudice is real and all over this thread posters are happily justifying it.
That’s not true at wealthy schools. I went to Reed (not need blind) and only half the student body there pay full price. That portion should be lower at Harvard and MIT.

Maybe there is a bit of variation across Vietnam? I’m just sharing what my in-laws observed where they live.

When I say “all international flights” stopped, I mean, you can’t just hoop on the next flight to Vietnam. Yes, there are still repatriation flights happening and flight for certain purposes, but “normal” air travel has stopped, no?

So regardless, would you agree that Vietnam is going far beyond a lot of countries in trying to control the spread?

I had the exact same experience and reached the same conclusion.

There’s this weird fetishization about paper notebooks. It’s like the people who say that vinyl is unequivocally better (it’s not).

For some people the end result of digital notes is vastly superior to anything they can scribble in a notebook.
If that is the intent behind such decisions, a more reasonable (and not punitive) response is to give a couple of years notice to universities (let them wind down operations) and allow students already enrolled to finish their education. Not “Go home right now or you will be deported, and forget about the full tuition you paid.”
interesting that the routes they were listing halfway through the article had none that went over the arctic circle like they do today for flights from NYC -> Beijing
I think it's the opposite. If I'm a regular "grunt" employee being sent to say Canada for a conference, you can be 10000% certain I will refuse to go if it involves spending weeks on a ship somewhere. I have a family and life outside of work, having to take two 8-hour long flights just to be somewhere for work is hardly acceptable as it is. I'd be far more keen to go if the travel time didn't require adding another day on each side of the trip.
To begin with, I'm not a person who 'burns' money - I'm sure I'd be in a different place if I was.

When I say 'enough money' I don't just mean enough money for current expenses. In my opinion, there really is an amount of money beyond which you're probably just adding a measure of unhappiness to your life, if you're making money your first-order objective.
>they realize that that to learn how to do the same thing with 167 technologies is not a real development

I think this is a bit of a loaded statement. Phrased this way, who could argue that learning to do the same thing with 167 technologies is real development? If you listed out the technologies, I'm sure you'd get plenty of responses from people who disagree that they actually are doing the same thing. As a frontend dev, the technologies I'm aware of all have vastly different developer experiences and tradeoffs.
For now, I simply email my notes to everyone each meeting.

According to Roberts Rules, the #1 order of every meeting is everyone agreeing that the previous meeting notes are correct. Only after the previous meeting's minutes are finalized do you proceed with the current meeting.

----------

A surprising number of people do not know how to run meetings. As such, most meetings wander off unfocused. And since most people fail to solidify meeting notes, action items from previous meetings are "lost".

It takes work to ensure that meetings are worthwhile. And very, very few people seem to know the secrets (despite them being very obvious and well documented).

I followed the resources here: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdoc/blob/master/Trainin...

Also this: https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki

The original data was here: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata_lstm

I did use another data source from Manheim but can't locate it right now.

Using vanilla Ubuntu 18.04

I looked at the example training files and made a small script to convert my own labeled data to fit the format that tesseract requires.

I did do a bit of pre-processing adjusting contrast.

All the data munging was done on Python (Pillow for image processing, Flask for collecting data into a simple SQLite DB before converting back to format that Tesseract requires).

Python was not necessary just something that felt most comfortable to me. I am sure someone could do it using bash scripts or node.js or anything else.

EDIT: To make life easier for my curators I did run Tesseract first to generate prelabeled data for my training set. It was about 90% accurate to start with.

So the process was:
Tesseract OCR on some documents to be trained -> hand curation (2 months)-> train (took about 12 hours) -> 99% (on completely separate test set)
Seams are actually fixed once the adjacent tiles are loaded but at first there are skirts on 2 sides of a tile.
I’d like some combination of both: increase the base price (or scale it with the number of domains owned by a single entity?) but have some kind of grace period based on the time you’ve held it where you accrue a charge with interest (to prevent squatters abusing it) but can get it back quickly if you pay in full.

If a business screws up, paying a few grand in late fees is much better than losing it to a squatter and that can protect users from someone malicious buying a domain used by an app or something.

Has anyone ever seen a medium-to-large-sized company, in any industry/vertical, that's solved the "[Engineers] often don't get a seat at that table" problem?

Anecdotally, because I've brought up this issue a lot, I've heard many responses from bother sides. From some engineers, not in the room: "I would never want to be in the room, because then I'd have to work with those people". From other engineers: "They'd never want us there, we're just resources to be used."

From the non-engineers who are in the room: "we didn't know you wanted to be there, of course you're welcome", or "we didn't want to interrupt your work for such a high-level meeting".

I find that the reason for exclusion is either incompetence (in which case, get out), or a lack of awareness that certain engineers are exceptional sources of opinion, in those rooms.

But I've never seen a culture that's pushed engineers into those strategy meetings; it's always been opt-in rather than opt-out. (It's always opt-out for the product org).
It’s not too hard to find open shops and restaurants in the US during holidays.

When using a password manager of sufficient security the weakness isn't the password manager. The password manager is likely the strongest security app that most people use on the daily.

If you store both the password and 2FA in something that secure, is it really causing any real harm?

If your threat model dictates that this IS a threat for you, then by all means, don't do that. But I think for the average person this is far more secure than some of the alternatives they'd be doing otherwise.

So up one goes rewriting that working WCF service into gRPC, because fashion.

But is ok, after all someone needs to pay those consulting rates and keep projects rolling, book industry happy with introduction and best practices books, and new themes for conferences, and most importantly blog posts with postmortems regarding technology migrations.
That's not a reasonable approach to public awareness IMO. "Forcing" these private companies to do this and that is only going to result in it being done in the least meaningful way possible. It doesn't matter whether it's the DPD, the EU cookie law, or the GDPR. So much deja vu...

If you only have a week of leave to take, going from Paris to New York by liner means you'd need to arrive and immediately hop on a ship back. If you're quick, you might just have time to get a bagel with schmear and almost run over.

To me, there's a significant difference between a trip where you can get up at home early in the morning but get to bed in your hotel late the same evening, and one that is even a few hours longer. There is a much less significant difference between that and one a few hours shorter - if i arrive in the early evening, i'm still not going to do much with the day. The next significant difference is when a trip is short enough to do the outbound and return legs in one day, and still have a useful stay. Concorde wasn't quite fast enough to that.

Yes, most "top" schools do not have Harvard's endowment, so they have to work with a limited budget. Still, their motivation is quite different from GP's suggestion that they are admitting international students to boost they finances. Anyway, we were talking about Harvard and MIT. I'll add one more thing, some universities do care about the well being of their students.
I see.
My understanding at my own institution (a big one on the west coast) is that international (undergraduate) student admission is not need blind, or wasn't until very recently, since I remember "protests" about this particular topic in the last years.
Graduate admissions has never even pretended to be need blind so that doesn't apply.
How do you identify and deal with edge cases and rare situations?
Please accept my apologies. I can see I have been unclear.

It's been my experience that when attempting to communicate, people use the vocabulary they expect will do the job efficiently for the task at hand. As you say, for many things this is absolutely pseudocode! But I've also been in situations where mathematics, or the many Greek letter transformations of Haskell, or something else was the vocabulary of choice. As the projects I've worked on have grown more complex and occasionally abstract, pseudocode has increasingly not been the go-to answer.

Again, you're completely right. It's a major issue that medical professionals often lack a real understanding of how a given pharmaceutical works. It's one that is in dire need of addressing!

I also think medical professionals have this shared assumption that they can talk about anatomy and physical processes with one another to communicate effectively and precisely, rather than "the bone next to the other bone next to the chompy thing". Especially when on a chart and the other professional isn't nearby to ask. That's shared vocabulary at work. I've certainly struggled to have architectural discussions with people with whom I shared little vocabulary. I'm sure the failing was entirely mine.

You're completely right. There's a lot here and pseudocode is incredibly powerful! I find it worth considering that there might be value to be gained in shared vocabulary beyond that one tool. Your mileage may of course vary.

Thank you kindly for the opportunity to better explain my points.
Yes, these terms actually root in pre-UiPath era and now become the industry standard. OCR libraries are not specific to RPA (e.g. Microsoft OCR,Google OCR, Tesseract, Abbyy) but, again, are pretty much the standard, what we do differently from other RPA vendors is providing users with the ability to visually map scanned template data to variables so it can be done with no code, using only mouse (in line with our focus on simplicity for the developer, works really well for cases when you deal with limited set of templates.
>However Harvard and MIT aren't all about caring about their international students here. They are also thinking heavily about the money they might be losing.

Harvard has a ~$40bn endowment. Even if all 6,500 of its international students are affected, and all of them are paying $50,000 in tuition, and absolutely none of them are replaced, and no economies at all are generated by them not attending, then the university stands to lose slightly less than 1% of that endowment this year.

My point here is that Harvard can amply afford not to raise this issue, and that I rather suspect the issue of principle is more important than you suggest.
The numerous subtle boasts are really a turn off.

A lot of it is also just... wrong.

> You will never be truly free or become wealthy by working for someone else.

Simply not true, at all. People with family, loved ones, etc would disagree. People who want to work 8 hours a day disagree. Most people, I'd imagine, would disagree that this is what "freedom" is.

Really not HN worthy IMO.

Still too far from the real thing, but jetting over to the Atlantic for a quick conversation to clear something up, and coming right back isn't as necessary as it once was.
Glad you're feeling better. It's a tough hole to dig yourself out of.
Yeah! And Lens is not the only closed-source OCR solution that works. I've gotten great accuracy using ABBYY and docparser.com in the past. But one needs to pay per page after the free trial ends :(
That's exactly what I have done before and it worked well. You just have to ensure that you can map the data from the other database properly, and that the FDW you're using is of good quality (since they're not officially part of Postgres).

My opinion is certainly skewed by my personal experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

That said, engineers are a highly opinionated bunch and a group of 5 will have 5 different personal preferences. But they are smart and will quickly recognize an objective opinion that is not hard-driven by personal preferences. Folks with good technical judgement who are willing to accept a different approach quickly become a highly respected member of the community. They frequently end up with more tables offering them seats, in a technical expert role, than they care to occupy.

When I was starting my career, one of my first jobs had two clear career paths for "programmers": Business Analyst and Software Engineer.

A Business Analyst focused on figuring out business solutions and constraining those to realistic technological limitations.

An Engineer focused on architecture and implementation.

Seems to me you just chose the BA area of expertise... there is a lot of value in that, but the Engineering side is just as valuable in my book as if you have great ideas and plans but the actual engineering is poor (and vice-versa), your company is going to suffer.
The priority for people was never getting somewhere supersonic. BA needed to fly what amounted to subway service between JFK and LHR in order to make SST worthwhile to the very, very small subset of people who could afford it. However, due to how small that subset was, they were flying a dozen half-full flights per day. If they cut back on the number of flights, they removed the time savings of the Concorde and it was cheaper and far nicer to just fly an overnight flight on a 747. Didn't help that it had the hourly mx requirements of a fighter jet.
You're not going to get me to defend the government response to COVID in the U.S. All of those measures sound very reasonable. You're not getting pestered to be tested on an ongoing basis because the U.S. lacks the testing capacity. Even if we did, we're not turning samples around fast enough for them to be as useful as they should be in tracing cases.

I have no idea why the government isn't handing out masks to everyone. That's essentially what Taiwan did and they have approximately zero cases.

That said, wearing masks is a lot more useful than banning plastic straws. If you could get a large fraction of the population to consistently wear masks, and impose comparatively light restrictions (no big gatherings, no bars, no indoor restaurants), I think you could eradicate the virus.
I suppose I'll go start looking for other google domains that heavily impact internet users if they expire, and are close to expiration, and just pay the ~$100 to renew them for another 10 years and write the cost off as public service [1].

It would take a ton of bureaucratic overhead, but you could have a system where you could apply for permanent ownership of a domain only after establishing that you're actively using that domain for the purpose of a business or project. Basically a trademark system for domain names. Perhaps with the caveat that a limited number of domains could be reserved for any one project, so that Google couldn't tie a thousand different URLs to Blogspot.

I'm very unhappy with the impermanence of online resources; some great websites that I used to rely on for information or conversation have just disappeared with time. Some have been archived by the Wayback Machine, some haven't. Obviously, a permanent server is a bigger concern (and a bigger problem) than a permanent domain, but I still think something like this could be a step in the right direction.

Learn to Knit or Crochet. There are a bunch of fun benefits! First, it's not hard. Second, you really can make nice things that last a long time and are useful. I personally have been on a sweater kick. Look or Aran and Gansey sweaters, they are very fun. Third, it gives you something to do other than endlessly scrolling on your phone.

With my hands and wrists (from being at a keyboard for years), I find knitting to be more comfortable. Also, if you do it correctly, the motion is different from typing and therefore actually helps with repetitive strain in the wrists.
