Billions of new banknotes are printed every day. Why does nobody care?

Similar co-processors have been used for some time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_computing#Optical_Four...

There is `AdjustTokenPrivileges` and `CreateRestrictedToken` which can accomplish something like that.

Yes the goal is to run it framework independent. Pytorch for example can export models to ONNX.

I have been using SumatraPDF on Windows for a long time. After opening a PDF file with it for the first time, I never went back to Adobe Reader. SumatraPDF is much faster, cleaner and less memory hungry.

All ENT doctors I have ever been to in Germany as well as Taiwan offer microsuction and it was always covered by public insurance as well. It was done by the doctor and not by nurses.

It's used in the cybersecurity world for fuzzy file comparison. See https://github.com/trendmicro/tlsh

Yes. Chaotic systems arise in classical mechanics. So while often the formalism is easier to write down than for example in general relativity, calculating a solution is often very difficult or practically impossible.

Senior devs in my country make around 35k in international companies. Even FAANG is maybe 50k.

2.7 is dead.

That's great. I don't know how many forms I lost this way. Usually because the form focus is laggy or something stole the focus.

Or more recently Mixer.

Also of the flag-raising army computer in 'The Dark Forest' by 'Liu Cixin'.

I made a simple GUI in python which essentially wraps OpenCV's getPerspectiveTransform/warpPerspective. It let's you select the four corners, chose an aspect ratio and do some simple postprocessing. I was working on edge detection, but it's not working well right now.

I will try to put it on github. EDIT: https://github.com/Dobatymo/dewarp Few years old and very unpolished though

It's a nice demo and a good tutorial if you are interested in spell checkers. But imo it did more bad than good. A lot of libraries started to implement it. But it's quite horrible in performance.

I had one and I loved it as well.

> The nail in the coffin was Google refusing to write a Youtube app for Windows Phone and THEN blocking the app that MS wrote themselves. There were at least 2 great third party youtube apps and youtube worked well in the browser as well. Including background play support which seems not to work on other platforms easily.

Never read "Story of O" before? ;)

Don't forget about intercepting each ftell() though...

Good article. It probably also helped that the Taiwanese Vice President at the time at former Minister of Health is a epidemiologist who worked at Taiwan's national research academy "Academia Sinica" before.

Living in Taiwan as well, and physical PS4 games are much cheaper after some time. I buy most of my games at around 500-600 NTD (17 to 20 USD). But PS4 (and Switch) seems to be much more popular here than Xbox, so that might be a reason.

Also see Optical Fourier co-processors for a similar example.

True. There might be other more expensive contracts, but most people in Taiwan that I know either have a "real" unlimited data contract for like 17 USD per month or a "fake" unlimited contract (with like 25GB and reduced but still acceptable speeds afterwards) for about 14 USD per month. One example provider would be Tstar.

Nobody uses SMS anymore.

That looks pretty interesting. Even though I usually like native-widget-type GUI libraries, this one looks pretty special. Also I like that all rendering is actually done with low level GPU calls and doesn't depend on other common toolkits like SDL.

If it is flexible enough to support non-obvious not builtin functionality will show.

It uses quite a lot of cpu cycles in idle though. That seems to be a huge drawback of immediate mode GUIs. At least for mostly static interfaces.

Shouldn't that be centi-cents? ^^

Well if you have admin permissions, you should be allowed to do anything.

You are partly correct. Mandarin usually refers to the spoken language and Chinese to the written characters.

However there are still differences in writing / vocabulary even if you disregard the existence of simplified and traditional versions. It's similar to US and British English. Books are are often translated to both versions and it's similar for (Mainland) Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese or Taiwanese Chinese text with even more extreme differences.

It's worth supporting Chinese language projects just to see if all the tooling can really handle unicode...

There is still too much software around today which breaks when presented with anything else than ASCII.

I am all for archiving important web content, but imo most of the web content is not important and impossible to archive anyway. Too many pages use dynamic content which make web archives useless. Also having too much data just dilutes the useful stuff.

If you have useful content (the author should) store it in some other way. Put articles in any simple markup format like markdown in git, distribute videos using torrent and so on. For some types of content I couldn't think of a good solution yet. For examples JS games or applications should be in some self-contained single-file "web-executable" format. Images need to be embedded often, so torrent is not a good medium, but they don't belong in git also. So not really sure where to put them...

Also make sure to use standardized formats with proper structure. Browsers should remove quirk modes and flat out refuse to render anything which cannot be interpreted 100% unambiguously.

Webpages are always just a temporary distribution medium. They should never be the original storage place.

Sorry if all of that sounded a little bit rant-y, but I think the current web is a very bad state.

Even some "safe" python libraries can be segfaulted using similar techniques. See for example https://github.com/pydata/numexpr/issues/323 I think this particular bug is even marked 'wont fix'. But I cannot find the bpo at the moment.

Early Windows (probably up to and including XP) did a lot of these things right. But now Microsoft is starting to go against their own recommendations.
