Show HN is about showing your own work, not just sth you think is interesting. Doesn't matter if you missed it, still shouldn't have posted it.

Nothing that you said is wrong but it doesn't make the situation better. 1) As many people pointed out, this doesn't prevent OCR, it just prevents copying strings (e.g. with crawlers). 2) Majority of OCR doesn't deal with PDF

It's interesting what/when/if will unsettle Python. And what the adoption would be like. Julia has been <designed> to unsettle Python in the data space but to no avail. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How is it different from Notion and Evernote like solutions? What’s better and what’s worse about Dino? Likewise, how’s it different from backlink-based apps like Obsidian, Roam and Craft? Is OSS the only selling feature?

I agree that using booleans like this can be confusing. But, imo, it's more confusing to have a bunch of wrapper functions that create abstraction madness. I mostly write computation/math-related code and I find using named argume

What about the part where people used expired credentials to 3rd-party services to create admin accounts? Scraping may not be a crime but unintended privilege escalation is a whole different story.

In other news, gen-1 device is good but not perfect yet.

I fully subscribe to this point. It comes up, then it either gets voted out or doesn't even come that far. What baffles me though is that such blatant power-grabs are being introduced, and that anyone thinks that anything would be bett

While the assumption that you can make changes to swift’s stl is not that far-fetched, doing so to cpp’s is completely mental. I’ve got a feeling that swift is becoming a very polluted mashup of features that come from parties with conflict

This is the key point here. Google (Chrome), Apple (Safari) and MIcrosoft (Edge) funnel money from other ventures to their browser dev teams. For Apple and Microsoft it’s just a staple tool that each operating system needs but for Google it

No, if you work in a software house; or I'd say, you have extremely low chance there and anyone who made it, was an outlier. Yes, if you work in a company that does some RnD and you have actual domain knowledge and expertise as opposed

On one hand side, provided rationale is right and I agree. If Twitter wants to play the policing game, they'd better bring out big guns and introduce a mechanism to police and fact-check entire platform. On the other hand, and maybe it

Could someone ELI5, why it is so difficult to make it right? And I do not mean exclusively to Linux, because Windows has been horrible for years now too. If the issue is hardware, then we'd blame OEMs. If it's software, then we&#x

Asking for a friend - could someone explain what happened there? The README doc is quite vague - it is more of a personal justification than a rationale (to me).

Yes, they are. Slow and hardly as expressive or rich as python/r counterparts.

Yeah, I've been using Mathpix for almost a year now and this seems practically the same. Unless they are deliberately avoiding comparison to Mathpix, they are quite unaware of the competition out there :|

Not OP, but I ditched taking notes on paper for the most part. I write stuff down on the iPad Pro (Notes and/or Notability) instead nowadays. It is easier to find and extract things and I can just archive them to the cloud when they ar

I can subscribe to this. Whenever I needed to learn or revise something, I would just write it down again, usually paraphrasing the original material. While I wouldn't use that material directly ever again, I noticed that I would often

Maybe I didn't make this clear but by hardware I meant literally physical switch, as in e.g. power delivery through the circuit.

I was trying to come up with a reasonable solution this. I wouldn't trust any software solution in the OS that "disables" the camera because even if hacking of the device is not possible, some sort of settings-phising might b

That they have more than they say that they have (and are allowed to have) to the point where cleaning this up would be a serious engineering effort. I say this in jest but at the same time I'm concerned this might be true.

One one hand side, I agree that Facebook/Amazon/Apple etc. but also many telcoms are way too big which in turn stifles fair competition and leads to monopolies (and subsequently abuse of power, lobbying etc). On the other, there h

One tip from personal experience: I usually introduce CORS (and Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in particular) first. Most people unfamiliar with HTTP headers have no problem understanding the usefulness of that one and it opens the door

Despite being on the FB-naysayers' side, I think that scientific and engineering work that FB outputs is amazing and greatly adds to our (tech) community. I use several of their frameworks on a daily basis and look forward into dabblin

I wouldn't say these are level-up but rather some introductory material that covers the basics. Swapping Introduction to Statistical Learning for Elements of Statistical Learning is a good step-up if you don't need as much hand-ho

My first thought once I saw this was "flutter". It's really getting a lot of market share in mobile dev and all you need to write is Dart, for better or worse. Also, whenever you need to do iOS specific duct-tape-plumbing, it

I don't know much about Pony but glancing over the doc it seems very Scala-ish, which can already be written in very pythonic way and has ADTs. Am I missing something here?

It's interesting how it's going to play out. On one hand side, Swift is a pleasant language to work with (despite its infancy). But on the other, having a Tensorflow API doesn't suddenly give it a bunch of libraries for stati

It's quite sad that most of them are traffic/ad optimization/analysis companies. Clicking on the link I was hoping for a nifty list of tools that benefit various (web-connected) industries.
