Most often the text runs you would extract from a PDF are in the order you would read the text. Probably because the word processor or application that created the PDF dumped the text into the capturing PDF context from its own text container that, in fact, contains the text in the order the word processor would display it (editing, searching, text selection in the creating app obviously benefit if the text container is in reading order).

When text is not in reading order within a PDF page it is often headers, footers, captions, callouts, block quotes....

There are I believe features in the modern PDF spec to allow for accessibility that would give you more structure to that raw text. I am not sure that this is a widely used feature when creating PDFs though.
Older places are not exempt. It’s probably a matter of lack of enforcement. People die in those places, man: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-old-port-fi...
This is quite serious. The only point of f-droid is to be a community repository, if it is controlled by a single individual doing harmful things with no oversight, it is over as far as I'm concerned.
>The TTFP is too damn high and I don't think it will ever be fixed.

I just installed and ran on my macbook - took me 7 minutes to get it installed and run through to a first plot, most of that was installing and compiling the Plots library.

Once it's installed and available I can run it in about 1 second and then execute

using Plots

function test_plot()

x = range(0, 10, length=100)

y = sin.(x)

plot(x, y)

end

@time test_plot()

which gives me a result of 0.048700s and a nice plot.

I don't think this is the defining issue with Julia now - it definitely used to be 10 years ago - but now it's more than competitive with Python in this regard.

The issue is really support and buy in for all the new cool libraries that folks make available to use.
No. Specific rules of political purity, and the transitive demand that you also cut off any nonbelievers lest ye be branded yourself
Usually clubs require that 2 (or more) people introduce you. This can be difficult to establish.

However, my club in London is the Oxford & Cambridge club which is typically very easy to get into if you have matriculated at either of the universities.
I guess this is the problem: you have to answer before you know what it is about. With email, you can immediately at least read the title of the email, or even the contents, before deciding if you want to respond or not.
Show HN: PromptForge – Prompt Manager Inside ChatGPT, Bard and Claude
Hey HN!

I built PromptForge, a browser extension designed to enhance your experience with ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude (with more platforms on the way). This tool offers hundreds of curated prompts, which you can browse, favorite, and collect right inside the above mentioned platforms.

PromptForge isn't just about discovering existing prompts; it also lets you to craft and share your own prompts with the community. Opt for public sharing or keep them private for personal use only.

PromptForge has the ability to utilize variables in prompts, unlocking a new level of versatility and reusability. Additionally, the backend supports webscraping capabilities, independent of ChatGPT or Bard functionalities. From testing, it can usually pull data from sources when ChatGPT may be limited (I'm still tweaking this and making it better everyday).

PromptForge is completely free to use. It features a generous free tier that is sufficient for most users. I invite you to explore the app. Your feedback is invaluable, so please share your thoughts after giving it a try!

Cheers,
Brandon
> me for trying to hold Hans accountable for blocking protecting marginalised community members from abuse

I think understanding this statement is key. Blocking what protections? From what abuse? How and when were they blocked? Without that context, it's hard to say this text has any more clarity than the text accuses Hans' responses of having.
> Gaming-focused distros

I'm a bit confused, literally any Linux distro has everything in their repositories to install Proton and GPU drivers.

> Arch, which is the most Linux one

I love Arch but it's not the "most Linux" (i dont even know what it's supposed to mean). And for someine trying to make a transition from Windows to Linux it's factually the most hostile.
Obviously I have no idea what you situation is, and multiple issues can have similar symptoms. And also I'm not a professional. Last but not least, I might be reading too much from your comment, and write useless or over the top stuff.

Having said that:

- Consider not saying to yourself that you're lazy. It works the same way as saying to another person that they are lazy--usually nothing good comes out of that. In CBT it's called labelling, here's a random article about it: https://cogbtherapy.com/cbt-blog/cognitive-distortions-label... - an important thing here is that it's not just about avoiding certain words. It's more about reframing your thinking so that those label words are not your first or even second choices.

- Apart from labelling yourself as lazy, I think you might be "should-ing" yourself in the foot by effectively saying to yourself: "I should/must not be lazy"--note this is already 2-in-1, should + labelling. A simple way to escape "shoulding" is to soften the language. Instead of "I should/must do X", say sth like: "it would be cool if I did X, but realistically I'm only able to do X/2, and it's still better than nothing". Another random article: https://www.therapynowsf.com/blog/should-statements-reframe-...

- You could consider trying ADHD diagnosis again. From what I recall diagnosis in adults differs from diagnosis in children or adolescents, so this time it might as well turn out the other way.

- ADHD or not, you could check https://www.adhdrewired.com/rethinking-adult-adhd-with-dr-ru... --dr Ramsay is a CBT practitioner that focuses on ADHD, but I bet the techniques would work for anyone to some extent. So even if you don't have ADHD, but only ADHD-like symptoms caused by something else, maybe you would find something there for yourself. He has a lot of free materials on: https://www.cbt4adhd.com/media/

EDIT: By the way, the other answer (very good, btw) mentions burnout, and the answer to it mentions anxiety. Those could also give ADHD-like symptoms. So you could research that angle as well. If you don't know where to start, you can check my comment history--I posted some comments on anxiety and depression recently, with some recommendations from my own experience.
My guess is it's a mixture of malice (I know this person said it doesn't want X, but maybe we can sell them X in this particular situation, so just go for it anyways) and pure simple incompetence and lack of communication in a large enough org

If all Python needed was a JIT, this would have been addressed over a decade ago. The problem isn't a lack of a compiler, it's language semantics that make the job of a JIT nearly impossible.
While I think you're low on the legal/sales/marketing and so on, your estimates does trigger the question: How much easier/cheaper and profitable would it be to run Spotify as a purely stream music platform.

Lose the ads, audiobooks, podcasts, drop any platform that isn't iOS, Android or web. Would that be profitable, or would people not want to buy the service?
They DO have copyright on the reverse engineering work. But that doesn't mean that they don't have full copyright over the code which looking at the LICENSE file alone it looks they are claiming. There should at least be a copyright line mentioning the original authors, even if just "Unknown Authors". They also obviously don't have permission to redistribute their derivative or to create it in the first place.

Its also ironic that they expect others to follow their license when they are fine with ignoring the copyright of the original hackers.

Ultimately though, copyright as we have it today is extremely silly and all they are asking for is attribution which IMO should be the default.
There was another musician that went on his own, but his overall sales are less but he's making more.

I also used to work for a company that used to have a streaming service and they paid like over 20 million alone just to the record industry.
It's an entirely reasonable question to ask "is there any specific as to why this is being posted today?". If the answer is no, that's fine, but there may be extra context that is interesting and not obvious.

Research shows that 95% of the permissions granted to users aren't used which creates huge problems and is a reason for spending millions in security tools. Why not use Slauth and other checks such as policy simulators to get tightened policies pre-deployed
I can understand the point of the article but I disagree that it is taking away from the experience it is documenting. Counterpoint: Life Logging. I remember reading a phenomenal book by @CStross called 'Rule 34' in which a policewoman essentially records everything she sees and hears, a sort of life logging. I found this to be fascinating and had hoped that it would be something I could use in the future. Record everything and not pay attention to it. Alas, it has not exactly worked out as I had hoped. Google Glass could have been that option but the reaction of many to being recorded was very, very negative.

Yet still others are trying with discreet cameras or an audio recorder, documenting life while still living life. Maybe in the future of Mr. Stross we will all have life logging.

Just from reading the linked pages, looks like they did't have any clear governance structure, tried to established one and failed due to sabotage from a person holding de-facto powers.
> Companies overhired during the pandemic, and now they are trimming that fat

No, that makes sense to you.

I grew up with someone who is now in the C-Suite of one of America's largest corporations - a company that has been in the Fortune 100 for decades. He has bounced from directorship to C-Suite in Fortune 500s for the past 12 years, and I asked him about this phenomenon over cigars about six months ago, he said this:

"cbozeman, you have to understand these people. Most of these people making these decisions are raging narcissists. What do you think sounds better?

'I managed and led 500 people.'

'I managed and led 5000 people.'

And when you compound that on top of essentially free money, and then you also throw in the desire to lock up the best talent so your competitor can't have them, you have a recipe for indiscriminate hiring."

This person has been working in a high-level capacity in the corporate world for over 15 years now. He has seen some truly reprehensible shit, and shared quite a bit of it with me when we meet up once a year for ice fishing. I can tell you right now, not only is not "nonsense", it's perfectly logical - just not to you, and not to a lot of other HN users, because entirely too many people think in the logic of 1s and 0s, and not in the logic of people. High-level business decision makers - the kind who make these decisions - don't think like you. They don't value what you value. They see engineers and programmers as expendable and easily replaceable - and many of them are. For every 10x or 100x engineer / programmer, there's 500,000 no-namers who can be slotted in and out without much trouble.
Do you have some other insight? tfa seems to paint hans as a passive aggressive dude. in the gitlab issue, another person shows up and gave a similar statement about hans. and in the latest reply by hans, it seems that he takes the L.
It doesn't seem healthy if you are accustomed to the standard American diet.

One overlooked factor is bioavailability of nutrients, not just how much there are in food. Lots of plants are high in X, but it's not very bioavailable, but nutrients in meat tend to be highly.

Inércia is still going on?!?

Last time I remember about it was when there were all those discussions on a Portuguese forum, when there were some plans to create a game development school in Portalegre, a looong time ago.

Great news, congratulations to those that keep going at it.
Reducing operation costs (labor), selling valuable assets are two that immediately come to mind.
Ah thanks! I'm relatively new to Julia and don't frequent discussion forums (yet?) and didn't have much luck searching for it. I figured out that it was an X in TTFX, but thought maybe, "print"?

In any case, yep, makes sense, thanks!

I guess for the typical scientific experimentation with plotting use case, why not just use the repl / notebook approach that (I think?) doesn't really suffer from this issue, as it's already up and running? My experience with startup time being problematic is when trying to "productionize" things that are not within a scientific / plotting loop. But my impression has been that it works well when doing things that are. Am I missing it?
Hardly 'best' when they're up to these antics.

You specifically said that the study was lacking a fourth group (spaced repetition software.)
I see this more as whistleblowing on this bypass of their own process and governance. If personal conflict is the reason given for bypassing all procedure, what else can they do than mention it? Doesn't seem like "dragging" it in to me.
But is the word XML format really bad nowadays?
Besides the "pragmatist in pain" route to mainstream there's also the "benefits for free" route.

C++20 is a very different language than C, but it got to mainstream because at the beginning it was "C with classes". Typescript is similar.

Every company has a bunch of "early adopter" engineers. The easiest way for them to introduce something new at their company is by claiming that the transition will be seamless and free.

D partially tries this path with its C compatibility. But it's a rare C codebase that doesn't use function pointers or array pointer syntax. I don't think D had any choice but to abandon those, but it made this path a lot harder.

P.S. there's a third route: piggyback along with a market transition. That's how Java & Javascript & Perl went mainstream.
You missed the part about handouts and subsidies.

Like the subsidized state media that told everyone to hate the unvaccinated and exclude them from polite society, which still, somehow, thinks of itself as antifascist.
> What do you mean by TTFP?

Time To First Plot. It was a meme back then that you needed to wait several minutes to draw just a simple line plot after starting up a Julia REPL/notebook because of compilation times (whereas in Python you're done in seconds with matplotlib.) Seems this has been reduced in Julia 1.9 with automatic pre-compilation of packages, but plotting still isn't "instant" as you would expect in scripting languages like Python.
Studying isn't note-taking. It doesn't make sense for this study to include it. It's a different modality, a different task. If the study had included this, it would have been tossed aside in peer-review. You can't compare across widely differing conditions. An fMRI study also isn't the appropriate way to compare conditions in very long term recollection tasks, and get the result you seem to want to get out of it: the proper way to do it is scoring the test result.

The implicitions of this study are limited, as usual.
These "toxin" phytochemicals are often very healthy for humans in the levels found in typical foods and weird keto/carnivore diet nuts try to overstate their negative effects and minimize the positive ones. For example psoralen has "antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects" [1].

Yep, you nailed it, I think. Pity.
You wouldn't think that most people here would be campaigning for companies to hire much more slowly, conservatively, and probably at salaries more in line with the market as a whole.
All irrelevant to the question. But it of course true that we have plenty of our own laws to follow.

Why would you assume this?
Not many banks offer APIs to pull transactions. It's easy if you don't mind usign a third party like plaid. I wanted a solution for managing personal finances and didn't want a third party getting a copy of all my financial data, so had to build my own. I ended up building a solution using sqlite and Apache superset, however it used a module that imported data from exports from the banks (so that was a manual step)

The advertiser fight is primarily caused by Musk's inane comments, not layoffs or the lack of moderation. They do contribute, but to a way lesser degree.
I would expect a arm64 machine to not build a arm32 compatible binary by default, it's the same as running clang on a x86-64 host and expecting it to produce 386 compatible binaries without a -march=i386 somewhere.

The weird clang install on a fresh B+ install is more puzzling, unless there's some user error somewhere.
LOL, did they?
> 1) there's a very significant economic crisis going on

There is of sorts, with high interest rates and inflation. This is shaking the foundations of how a lot of companies have operated since 2008.
Who are you talking about? Hans?

"According to Hans, "many people" have expressed "concerns" about me -- though for some reason not during the period expressly meant for people to voice those, apparently only to him in private, mysteriously never mentioned before now, and that cannot be named for some reason.

Concerns that are simultaneously both too unimportant to address so I can defend myself (and apparently not an issue for me joining ComCo), yet more than enough for Hans to unilaterally block me from getting Maintainer status on gitlab, even though the board -- including Hans -- voted to grant me that, which Hans then blocked for weeks using a myriad of counterfactuals as justification."
Maybe to avoid politics, the name of the region was used.
You I seem to be posting hostile, unhelpful takes all over this thread, so I think I’ll end the conversation here.
Yeah especially a bit deeper it's wild & must be many animals we have yet to discover.
> Companies such as Google and Facebook should have supported Julia for machine learning, in my opinion.

Given that ML is becoming so important and Julia has ergonomic handling of numerical code, why don't they explicitly support it? Is it inertia?
It's probably not that imaginary. There was much hand ringing during COVID that Russia's testing protocol for meeting Putin would allow them to collect DNA from world leaders.

Burn this statement into your brain: "Take my contact details off your list and never contact me again!"

Do whatever you can to make the scam caller hear you make this statement, loud and clear.

The moment they hear it they are supposed to comply, or they will face immense fines. This statement is anathema to the scammer.

I've had a lot of fun with this over the years.

My favorite variety of scamming the scammers involves leading them to believe that I am an old senile guy scared to death of "Windows Security" and that I will do anything to let them fix the problem, including giving them my password, which is of course, the above statement, which I often have to spell out, letter for letter, before they get it: "Take my contact details off your list and never contact me again!"

;)
If it couldn't be fooled through software (and there are sandboxing solutions to run stuff that needs google services etc) I don't think I'd stay with such a bank.

Apple made $5B in ad revenue in 2022, which was double their ad revenue from the year before. Apple is already being devoured from within by ads. If you think Apple will never stoop to putting ads in the OS like Microsoft does, ask yourself: where are Apple users going to go to escape ads? Linux? No, they'll just deal with it and keep buying Macs and iPhones. Apple is not your friend, they are a company designed to make money at all costs, and they're not going to leave ad revenue on the table.

From the outside it looks like Hans is not following rules and procedures. This is never good for an active community.
I certainly couldn't build that in a weekend but nor would I need 9500 people. Keep in mind WhatsApp was running with 50 engineers in 2015 when it had 900 million users. Last year, according to some sources, it had 3000 employees and 2.4 billion users. And that's groups, voice messages, video and voice calls, WhatsApp for business, integrations and a lot more.

Some of these seem reasonable, some not. There is no need for legal presence everywhere or to even have a permanent hire for that. The many clients make sense (including consoles too) but more than 10 people per client? It's not the most complicated app. R&D I guess makes sense too.

Actually, it would be interesting to see the breakdown of employees by category.

Regardless, I think the answer lies somewhere between what you said (unknown at a glance costs) and what others have said - too many managers managing managers and overhiring.
I no longer understand where your confusion is, so I'm not sure how to respond. I'd suggest taking it back to what was actually said in the OP and the criticism it got. Otherwise, if you're arriving in ridiculous places like "you must be trying to say that O-notation is used in non-asymptotic contexts," then there's very clearly some kind of miscommunication or misunderstanding. From my perspective, your comments are terse, unclear and not addressing the central point directly.
