What Tool Can I Use to Verify a Form Was Filled Out Properly?
I'm looking for an application where I can upload a PDF or image and verify that all fields requiring a checkbox were filled out. Any suggestions?

Trying to come up with validation criteria for a PDF form is time-consuming and fragile, and I was looking for an application that could be provided with several examples of completed forms, and use that data to figure out if any forms were accidently not filled out. As long as I can figure out that a field was filled or not filled out, that's all I need. I don't need to read the actual data, just that certain areas were not left blank and certain other areas are blank. (Pass/Fail).
The people handling the emergencies should get paid considerably more than developers - when they system is down, the real, actual, company-sustaining money stops coming in.

I do think people have the idea that they donate a tie to charity, they give it to a homeless man, who wears it to an interview, and lands a job as a bank teller.
Oh, ok. But 22km is still a lot more than a typical 4G/5G urban cell. It's basically the size of a city. Whereas I can spot multiple stations in my city if I go for a 5-10 minute walk.

I have a few heuristics. One is that man is egocentric (I too use indefinite "you" when I do not want to sound egoistic).
Yeah, I'm looking into government programs such as the EU "Prototype Fund", too. But the issue with crowdfunding is that if I want to raise $100k on Kickstarter, I need to spend $10k for an agency and another $20k for ads to promote the campaign. So it's quite wasteful (30% just for marketing) unless you already have a large audience willing to pay, which I don't have.

So I believe my best bet might be to partner up with a larger company who will pay for development and/or just charging users for a license. Nuance's Dragon Home is $200 and their Pro version is $500, so there's a lot of room for me to be cheaper while still reaching $100k in revenue with a realistic number of users.

I have three kids (two daughters an a son).

The boy is the oldest and we would still "hand-me-down" until they became a bit older and didn't want to wear "boys clothes" anymore.

With three kids, costs add up and so we would get the boy things the girls could wear as well (future planning).

Say he needed new t-shirts and one had a large tractor on it, and the other was just a T-Shirt with nothing on it..

The problem as they age becomes "social norms".

To this day, I continue to push both my daughters to try boys jeans. They constantly complain girls pants lack pockets, yet refuse to even try on boys jeans to see if they work?

The other issue is some kids REFUSE hand-me-downs and too many parents take the easy road, and buy new clothes?

Our youngest had hand-me-downs from both her older brother and older sister and simply didn't care that she was wearing "boys clothes". This really helped our budget.
And that’s fine with me. This problem is caused by big tech companies money grab trying to force everyone into the cloud and charge subscription fees. I never have this problem with on-prem software because I have control over what it does.

If a big ban list is what’s needed to remind people that cloud isn’t the only way to do things, then I’m all for it.
I generally assume that if I am using a browser IN ANOTHER APP, its tracking it - or could. Not hard to do
> Says someone who doesn’t have kids. I really don’t think it’s a big empathetic leap to imagine that young teens would want to take part in the modern world, and that includes some access to the internet.

At one point, "tak[ing] part in the modern world" included smoking, and lots of kids wanted to do it. Just saying.

IMO satellite to satellite communication is going to be SpaceX's equivalent of Tesla's FSD: always just around the corner.
Yes, the density of satellite is far lower than urban cellular which is why no one is pitching satellite for urban customers.

When someone uses the word "performance commitments," they usually are referring to SLAs like: "performance for 99% of subscribers 99% of the time."

Starlink is probably below three nines of reliability on even having a connection, and may only be at one to two nines or so on the speed demands. Many people on Starlink get bursts of decent speed and also stretches where the network operates at a crawl.

Thus, they can offer you good speed and still be incapable of meeting performance commitments.

I'll consider it, but I _really_ don't want to plug in a mouse to charge it, especially when I have to also use it. Wired mice drive me crazy (and did even before wireless was a thing). So I'd have to buy 2. And $80 a pop is hard to swallow, I bought all of mine for under $35 each.

And there's _still_ no USB-C unify receiver? Ugh.

There needs to be a DIY mouse-hacking community on par with the customized mechanical keyboard community.

Anki imports delimiter-separated data. Semicolon by default.

Ya know what sitting in the manager chair other than not taking feedback I would probably give them kudos too.

One of the devs on my team is like that. Everything he writes is like 30% broken from the get go but all his stuff ships and nobody else has the moxy to blindly charge into the unknown and not get stuck because their afraid to cut themselves on edge cases.
Real-time analytics: how is OLAP different from stream processing?
Since I have your ear, I thought about it some more and here are some ideas.

Moonshot: Let users snap a picture and use OCR to suggest times that user can then edit.

Another idea to make it a bit easier for businesses with odd hours: A option for a wizard.

Something like:

1. Click here to start Wizard

2. Monday: Select open time (or say not opened)

3. Monday: Select closed time

4. Monday: Option to add another time block

5. Tuesday: Option to copy and modify times from Monday

6. Repeat

7. Option to copy time from Monday/Tuesday

8. Repeat, etc

I'm not sure how exactly this would play out, and it would only be good in the more complex cases but I personally think it would be easier.

Is there any way to turn that damn functionality off? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been navigating some newfangled web UI and had a swipe go “back”.

Why do you think this? The FCC was handing out tons of cash to rural ISPs under Trump & a Republican congress. Improving rural internet is popular and well supported among the republicans since lots of rural areas are pretty red.

Not sure if that is correct. If 100% of funds entering a mixer were from many different exploits, it would still be laundering and obscuring the source of funds from illegal activity. It would no longer be clear which wallets are associated with which hacks.

Still money laundering, just not with clean money on the other side.
This is pretty much the world we live in now. True aficionados who devote time to discovering, analyzing, and sharing actual quality -- not because they expect to make money from doing so, but simply because they like that category. Untold amounts of time have been spent on this exact thing over the past twenty years.

The problem is discoverability. Though there are more sites like this than ever before, it's hard to find any of them. Google has been thoroughly conquered by content marketing at this point -- if you search for any product category, the first dozens of pages are 100% long form commercial advertising now. They all have much larger budgets and way better SEO skills than the average aficionado.
This is an interesting question to me — do software engineers follow a Pareto distribution on their impact?

That would imply that around 1,000 SDEs are delivering 38% of the impact in the field.

A change in culture which drove out that 0.1% would potentially noticeably drop the UX of “tech”, across the US.
It is a matter of scale, of market share, of user counts.

Obviously, a website with a few hundred or few thousand regular users is more like a private club. A website with tens or hundreds of millions of users is more like the telephone company.

There is no clearcut boundary, but there doesn't need to be. Competition regulators frequently impose limits on market-dominant firms which they don't impose on small players – yet there is no clearcut boundary between a market-dominant firm and a small player. In practice, many individual cases will be obvious, and in the non-obvious cases, all we need is someone with the authority to make a decision–and if someone else thinks they've made the wrong call, there are the usual judicial and political processes to address that.
Go's HTTP client doesn't support pipelining in HTTP 1.1. It will do keep alive / socket re-use. HTTP 2+ have support for request multiplexing which Go supports. Your code appears to create a new client on each request, so I'm not sure if the underlying transport will be re-used or if any multiplexing will take place. I would be surprised if it is.
I mentioned them to make it obvious that this is A LOT LESS code than Mozilla's DeepSpeech, which uses the same dependencies (plus some).

AI-Powered Notes Tool
Built a smart notes tool. It uses AI to help you connect your thoughts.

Good for brainstorming, meeting notes, and journaling. One person said: "It's like talking with your past self."

At Plexus, we're building shared brains for online communities. Notes is not really our focus, but as an experiment, we collapsed the shared brain into a personal second brain. Seems to be more useful & accessible than other "tools for thought," especially on mobile.

How it works
1. Jot a note. A question, problem, idea--anything.
2. See the most related notes you've said before (based on OpenAI text-embeddings).
3. Save the most related notes, a kind of lightweight organization.

It starts to get pretty helpful when you have >20 thoughts in there. Before that, it's sort of like Apple Notes.

Why can something exist?
The other day I saw somebody go past on a cargo bike, with a big box on the front that in this case had 3 child seats in it. It looked pretty damn usable, and if I could get something like that with an e-bike, even Costco trips (with the steep up-hill return) become feasible.

But if you buy a $5k electric cargo bike and it gets stolen two weeks later, or you have to spend 10 minutes finding a secure place for it everywhere you go...
Average cost of ~ $40k per connection to the government. How is this better than Starlink?
Agree but the fact is "all other websites on the Internet" turned into just Google, Facebook, Amazon, Instagram and so on. The web is quite centralized nowadays, getting banned from one of these sites can significantly harm a person.
The best thing might be to teach her about doom content and effective strategies for managing anxiety and such. This would help her deal with more than the dire situation this iteration of life is facing. It would be interesting to see the reaction to gaining the perspective that the planet will survive and that we are really talking about our own survival when we talk about saving the planet.
That's a perfectly fine definition, but the post I was relying to was not taking that into account. It was suggesting that in a perfect market the possibility that maybe a certain course of action might be followed, that this must be priced in. If you follow that logic, then in perfect markets prices should never change. The problem is it's flawed logic because uncertainties cannot be priced in.
> I think the natural end point for heavily worn clothes would be as a rag?

This used to be a super-common middle class (and under, I suppose) habit, at least in the US.

But synthetics make shitty rags, so that rules out a high percentage of modern cheap clothes of the sort that don't tend to get repaired or sold used, and material costs are so low that more people can easily afford to just buy cotton rags that'll perform better than strips of denim or old cotton t-shirts. Plus I don't think people do things that call for nigh-disposable cloth rags as much anymore (in our house they were mostly used for cleaning up engine grease or motor oil, but folks worked on their own cars and lawnmowers and such a lot more back then, and they were all ICE, not electric)

Owning up to mistakes is better than hiding them, IMO. I have much for respect for someone who can say yeah I messed up like you did than someone who deletes it (Even if you can't).

> They've apparently been trying to stay right around their commitment level while building out as quickly as possible, and let it slip a bit under on a third party speed test.

They've actually been below their commitment for all of 2021 and 2022 so far: they started 2021Q1 with a 16.29 average and 2022Q1 had dropped to 9.33 average. That's a pretty worrying trend and I don't think its the FCC's job to evaluate literal rocket science to decide whether or not they believe SpaceX will meet their obligations.

SpaceX chose what speeds to pitch in their bid, how many satellites and ground stations to deploy, and how many customers to let onto their network. While I agree that Starlink has a bright future I can't help but see this as SpaceX clutching defeat from the jaws of victory.

We've been far too lenient with ISPs in the past with broadband funding, and this is what keeping them to their word looks like.

Exactly. There are tons of smaller businesses not focused on infinitely growing that get by just fine. Especially in rural areas like these
They absolutely should be spending their time doing that. They are in the position to say "I have to do X, Y, and Z to push 2 lines of code??" and actually get it fixed. That week could save the company years of developer hours lost to overhead.

It's not comparable to money laundering. When you launder money by registering sales that did not happen you'll get taxed and you can then spend that money wherever you'd like. If you try to use funds coming from Tornado Cash most people won't accept them because they'll assume they were stolen or they come from some type of illicit activity.

People will always make up reasons if the tone of the conversation feels adversarial, but just spend a week in r/cscareerquestions to see the unfiltered sentiment: lots of people literally bragging about working 30 or even 20 hours per week as a full time employee, or who explicitly call out "slacking off" as a reason for preferring WFH. "Rest and vest". Etc.
Appreciate many of the points made in there. However, I still don’t see why intelligence should make one happier, and why when we don’t observe that in data it should be worth mentioning.

I grew up in a culture that did not talk about being happy or cared about objectifying happiness in any way. In fact, we don’t even have good words for it that would be separate from other notions. Growing up, I only ever experienced people talking about if they were healthy or satisfied or enjoying life.

This is a long way of saying that perhaps, it’s not only about calling out the vagueness and ambiguity of “intelligence”, but about considering that the term “happiness” also deserves the same degree of scrutiny. It, too, lacks a clear objective definition and comes with a lot of subjective and cultural ambiguity.

Maybe asking why one ambiguous undefinable thing doesn’t cause or correlate with another ambiguous undefinable thing is a futile statistical exercise to begin with?
Most of the time the right to use the logo is included in the contract language (or the customer says that any usage of their logo has to be explicitly approved).
