Read into it- it's not as scary as it sounds and it allows for more efficient aribtrage meaning tighter markets across services. The whole transaction is atomic meaning no risk for the lenders (lump sum must be paid back in a single transaction + small interest fee).

linguae used the word craftsmanship, which covers more than just performance. Correctness is another obvious aspect. (We still write production code that is vulnerable to buffer-overflows, for instance.) Standards-compliance is another. Wikipedia has a list that applies here. [0]

This is analogous to other engineering disciplines. There's no market for supersonic civilian aircraft, but there are plenty of challenges besides speed to keep aeronautical engineers busy.

Even if you're developing 'just another website', poor craftsmanship might result in downtime and loss of customer data. It might also result in longer onboarding times for new developers. The list goes on.

Generally on F-Droid if an app talks to a non-free server component, the app is labeled "this app promotes non-free network resources", but the majority of Free Software-loving nerds install that app anyway. After all, it still beats using stuff like the Google Play Store. So why is Firefox doing the same thing so heinous that people would completely refuse to use it, and use one of the proprietary browsers instead?
Accuracy? Always worth striving for. For example it’s akin to saying “the police made me go through a metal detector” if building security did or “the nurse gave me CPR” when a lifeguard did.

They’re....close but it isn’t the same.

In case you were asking literally: security are the people that make you throw out liquids due to bomb threats and check for weapons. Customs see you after the plane across a border and check that you didn’t bring anything that requires payment of border tax. If you do, they will make you pay the tax at the border before entry.
Heat scavenging is probably biggest efficiency gain you can get. Tesla was relatively late to add heat pumps, but did innovate with octovalve (which has like 8 modes of heat distribution, one of which is storing something like 2kwh of heat in battery volume itself).
Is there an app to comprehensively test the security of a router?

One usually runs Nmap or similar from WAN side to check for open ports.

How to test if a router permits UPnP?

Checking that UPnP is disabled in router’s GUI is not sufficient. An app should try to punch holes, and run tests for various things.

Also, what else needs to be checked?
Is that still true in the work from home post covid era?

Maybe, but if I'm hiring a C++ programmer I'd expect them to want to do this occasionally.
Fundamentally, I always wondered if the movement away from physical currency-- whether it's in-pp payments, general ecommerce or just the growth of credit/debit-- has a psychological impact on how we spend.

If you have to hand over some number of physical tokens, and actively see your stash of them diminish, it's going to hit differently than letting someone handle your card, and then a number that you have to log into the bank to even see goes down.

I see ads for programs where you give your kids their allowance on a prepaid debit card, so it could get to the point where you could reach maturity without ever touching a dime. Will those kids be as frugal as the ones who got notes?
I don't think a DMCA constitutes "presence of illegal content". It constitutes presence of "content with a US copyright, maybe".
Underinflation adds to sidewall flexing which increases the heating and wear on the tire, which increases the risk. A few psi isn’t the issue, but seriously under-inflated tires are a safety issue for traction and blowout risks.
Could you answer my question first? Do you think the age of consent should be made higher in those states? If so, what do you think is an acceptable minimum age? This is not a matter of current policy but your legal opinion.
> Cryptomining is a waste of energy and compute resources.

As others have pointed out, there is a lot of waste everywhere. If I lived further up north, I would certainly take advantage of using a compute cluster to heat my house while also generating cash. Yes, there are more efficient ways to heat a house other than 100% electricity, but it is still quite common.

But the point is, although it uses energy, it makes you money as well. And there are plenty of other such similar things. Take the financial markets for instance. It seems prior to 1980, if you wanted to create "wealth", you kind of actually had to do something. You know like found a company, invent something, claim a patent, etc. Since Greenspan cut interest rates in the 1980s, all efforts have gone into hedging against the stock market.

Outside of semi-conductors, very little tech has been invented for a few decades now. Instead, a ton of manpower (and energy) has gone into inventing financial devices to the point where house mortgages end up being sold five or six times through various lenders until they end up in a pool of mortgages that one would buy slices of. And if you were worried about risk, you could then buy "insurance" to hedge against your slices in either direction. I mean that took a lot of energy, and I'm not sure what society got out of it... Of course there is more regulation now, but still, new ETFs are made every month to fit some niche, and stock options and calls... So in other words, we've spent the last 30 years not really inventing anything but just passing a giant ball of money around through various devices.

Edit: and yes I am completely unqualified to make any of these claims. They are opinion, but they seem awfully close to reality.

That sounds reasonable. My house is about twice your size and so is my electricity consumption (8.8 kWh/day last billing cycle). Also doesn't exclude stove/oven/hot water as these are all powered by natural gas.

I was shocked by a few other comments saying 30 kWh/day. Is it because they use electricity to cook and heat water?

Leg of lamb is a pretty tender cut of meat closer to steak or ribeye in my experience.

Recently I roasted a leg of lamb for maybe 2.5 hours until the core temp was 135. It was a perfect medium rare in the thickest parts.

I suspect you should target something like 2-6 hours. Kenji has a chart you can follow for cook times on Serious Eats.

So what is the current one and only one pythonic way when you need a switch statement (like having a lot of cases to handle). I see two possibilities:

1.a lot of 'if'-statement
2.using a dict and the value is a function you call if the key matches

Or what else?

Yes. A big improvement over the last few decades is rare earth magnets, which have reduced the mass, increased the power and efficiency. (Rare earth magnets in car motors can be and are recycled, FWIW.)

Additionally, the power electronics have improved a lot, too, and continue improving.

As others have noted, Tesla went from their induction motors (which use no rare earths) to a somewhat more efficient combination of switched reluctance and brushless DC motor using some rare earth magnets.

There are also various improvements to rare earth magnets. Magnetic energy density improves somewhat. Cooling schemes improve. Even alternatives to rare earth magnets (certain phases of iron or nickel, for instance) have been and are studied.

I think improvements in cooling schemes is a big part of future improvements. As well as reduction in eddy current losses through better litz wire, maybe playing with the grain structure of the conductor, etc.

Longer term, there's also the possibility of superconducting motors. Although that's mostly for larger scale applications, (near-)room temperature superconductors also have been demonstrated and folks are searching for methods to allow them to work at lower pressures.

So I think there's actually lot of room for improvements beyond low effort prototypes from big automakers. Tesla is doing really well with high efficiency powertrains. There's also the added dimension of integration with reduction gearing (as electric motors like to spin fast).
Self help books sell because they give they buyer a sense of having accomplished “something”. It’s similar to the person who wants to start running to get healthier. They go out, buy a nice pair of running shoes, grab some expensive name brand clothing and perhaps buy themselves a fitness tracker too and then call it a day feeling great. They have convinced themselves they have begun their journey to a life where they run marathons weekly but have in actual fact achieved nothing.

One wonders then why they need so much of this imaginary value.
Agree. Can't really blame C++ for it being difficult to retrofit something like that. It's akin to the lack of const in Java: they'd add it if it were practical to do so.

In my experience preprocessing the image is extremely important before feeding it into Tesseract. I tried to do the same as OP on a rainy afternoon but shelved the project after it became more of a imagemagick research task than about creating a database of my receipts. I got Tesseract to recognize about 80% of the text but it was still missing some letters from slightly worn-out receipts.
See though, this is the issue. What you see as a useful or mistaken feature is likely a different set to another user, just as we’ve seen above.

I think it’s a mistake to defer to the zen of python without considering the PEPs themselves which do discuss trade offs. (I’ll note that you didn’t make that claim but GP did).
It’s true that it’s hard to know for sure, but there are a bunch of things you can do. One of the most obvious is to see what other reputable sources say about the author. What’s their track record in the past? Then for any specific piece, you can look at the arguments they’re making, and then look at the sources they reference. Are those sources reputable, etc.

To put it another way, you need to have a bunch of sources you trust, and then see how strong the connections are from any new data back to those original trustworthy sources.
Paying someone more than a company can get away with is PR spin or a mistake from the shareholder perspective.

> And I think cheap BEVs will be a HUGE benefit to poor people in the future, since it saves on gas and maintenance costs in the long term.

I’ve been wondering whether the opposite is true. We might find the cost of replacing the battery puts a floor on the price of old EV’s. I wouldn’t be surprised if we are coming to the end of bangernomics.
I just loaded it with ffplay, and it worked fine.

According to ffprobe, it's just using raw PCM for the audio channel, which would explain why the audio still works.

Proving that a measure is invariant is usually hard or impossible (in physics). It's useful as toy experiment but usually not for real life example.
As others have suggested- this is not a project where stitching together OSS OCR bits is going to yield anywhere near useful results. Overall at multiple levels of the stack the error bars on the tech bits are really wide and narrowing them is still a research project. This is why most of the suggestions are- if you want a workable solution, brute-force cheap human Mechanical Turk is the only option.

However, if you are looking for a project, picking one grocery store with one receipt format and generally limited/consistent product coding schemes is a reasonable thing to plug away on. Speaking personally I did this with Whole Foods receipts for a while and was able to get to almost, kinda usable. But then the pandemic hit and I started ordering delivery which obviates the whole receipt ingestion thing because I can get all those details directly from Amazon (modulo doing some data scraping).

Analytics on food purchases are a tremendously interesting and deeply underexplored space in which there is lots of future commercial potential.

> I literally got downvoted for contributing my opinion

I noticed that but my one upvote was not sufficient.

Discussing upvoting / downvoting is discouraged on this site but I consider that unfortunate, as the votes (well, downvotes in particular) are part of the signal.

Unfortunately they are also frequently used for "I disagree" rather than "this is off topic". I disagree with you but like every other user have the opportunity to express that by typing a response.
For "middle ground" projects like this (criteria: a common enough problem that lots of people _should_ have thought about it -- but it may not be a lucrative core business area -- and there aren't any household-name open source projects that cover it), I often turn to GitHub repository search to see what's available.

Based on that, your best bet might be https://github.com/ReceiptManager/receipt-parser-legacy, which is a Python library built on top of the Tesseract OCR engine. You can use it containerized, in Android/iOS applications, or via your own Python scripts.

IANAL, but I'm worried that a defense attorney could fight this on the wording of point 2:

> the TSA violates the Fourth Amendment by detaining travelers and their cash without reasonable suspicion of criminality

Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives Association[1] was the Supreme Court case that set precedent for random drug testing of public employees in sensitive positions, which would otherwise also be a fourth amendment violation. It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to say that precedent applies just as well (in the general sense) to searches/detainment of airline passengers in the name of public safety.

The defense would need to sweep the fact the money in this particular case was "detained" (ahem, stolen) for six months (as opposed to, like, one minute to check it for hazards) under the rug, but since this is a class action lawsuit rather than a lawsuit about this particular incident, isn't that detail irrelevant to the class action suit?

I agree, in software you are often designing custom things that need to take a subset of principles from many contradictory high level best practises.

Best practises are negotiable if you can attack them with first
principles. This is the basis of critical thinking, which I think is more important than best practises.

Best practises will get you fast social agreement though, whilst critical thinking will upset many people because you challenge their idea's trying to find issues early or better options.
My 2005 Honda has ESC (Honda calls it VSA-Vehicle Stability Assist) so it’s probably similar to ABS in these conversations: widely present and not a last 10-years’ addition. I think Toyota had it on all passenger models since 2004.
Of course it’s about scarcity. If it’s profitable to dedicate storage to this scheme, it will stoke demand for that storage, the only limit of which is breakeven on the costs, scarcity and availability of that storage is then the factor limiting the space. And the whole scheme, as with all cryptocurrency, is designed to create digital scarcity in a decentralised way.

It’s a terrible plan and very shortsighted. Making hard drives isn’t free of environmental externalities.
I'd argue that this not only applies to software but to all of human creation. Very few creators are craftsmen and very few consumers value craftsmanship. Creating software jewels requires mastery of many skills, many of which are not purely technical but involve an understanding of human behaviour. These skills can only be acquired by studying a field with a certain kind of devotion that very few people have. Real craftsmanship happens when work becomes intuitive, which happens once the basic skills have been perfected and there is enough understanding of other areas that might seem tangential, but further enhance the craftsman's creativity on a level that can't be really learned from manuals or documentation. There are very few employers that allow you to work like that.

Then you need people who are willing to pay for the product that the craftsman creates. Corporations generally don't value craftsmanship. Consumers are not willing to pay the price. In the past, you had royals and aristocrats who would pay for works of craftsmanship for prestige. Who are the modern patrons of craftsmanship? I would love to see some Silicon Valley billionaires fund software craftsmen, but very few of them put their money to work in such impactful ways.

Without a comprehensive test suite, this set of extension libraries is rather a black box.

Sure, one can look over the actual code to make sense if the functions do what they should, but one of main SQLite's features is its in-depth testing.

It'd be nice to have the same testing approach extended to this set of utilities.
aren't all these prosumer nas devices just out of date foss with a clunky webgui that ultimately is sufficiently limited such that you spend more time working around limitations then you would have just setting up foss yourself or are they actually getting good now?
I'm as big of a Tesla fan as any, but I'm both continuously impressed with how ahead-of-its-time the Prius was and continuously disappointed how lack-luster Toyota has been in pure electric cars. Toyota had like a decade lead on everyone else and just.... sat on it. Only invested in hybrids and hydrogen (which was and is a dead end).

Toyota could've gone all-in on pure electric cars (and better plug-in hybrids than they had at the time) a good decade ago but instead they continue to waste money on hydrogen.... Only now finally announcing pure-electric cars in the US: https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/10/22187113/toyota-electric-...

It's really sad. It's really bad for the climate that they just sat on the Prius drivetrain, which is 95% of the way to a pure electric car, for over two decades (it was released in 1997... it's 2021 right now!).

Literally, people have modded (i.e. added extra battery capacity) Priuses from 2003 to be pure electric even at highway speeds with the same motor and controller. They had everything sitting right there. It's incredibly frustrating.
