Samsung has a repair bus that come to your home or workplace and fixes the battery or anything else workout you having to drive into the city to a store or not having access for multiple days. (At least in Germany)

huh... and here I am, always long-clicking the back button for the back button history.

Long left-clicking has the advantage of saving one click when you immediately drag your mouse down to the page you want to go back to.

> If you want to give it a go, grab a ratpack parser in the language of your choice, pick a dozen recipes, write rules to extract the ingredients, and then apply them to other recipes. I'm fairly sure you'll be surprised.

As I didn't unterstand all of the words in your reply without looking them up, I'll definitely give it a try! Thanks

Yep, that sounds awesome to me. After seing your post I actually thought that this would be a great exercise for learning ML. I'll definitely keep my list of regexes for my personal recipe app, but now I'm inclined to try the ingredient parser with ML myself.

Is it really necessary to have machine learning involved?

While a bit tricky, this seems to be solvable with a bunch of regular expressions/string searches. (At least that's what I'm doing on my personal recipe app.) Filtering out numbers and number words is trivial (compared to training a ML model). The number of units is not that large and thus can be filtered. The rest is the name. This method is also easier to adapt to different languages, as we don't have to create a dataset for each language.

In the example "2 ounces of spicy melon", information is gone missing after parsing ("spicy") and depending on the context may very well be an important part of the ingredient name ("spicy chili peppers"/"mild chili peppers") I would wan't to keep, e.g. for creating a shopping list.

If we're using machine learning for parsing ingredients and want to actually create an added value, I think the goal should be to identify the ingredients from the recipe instructions, generating the list of ingredients.

But please correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to learn the reasoning for using something as complicated as ML in this case!

Don't you have a device for puncturing the eggs in your country so they don't crack?

Called Eierpiekser in German: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B000A8BKX8/

In Spain usually the father's name.

Do you know of any toothbrush with an easily replaceable battery? I'm in the need for a new one as my battery slowly dies and I don't want to solder my toothbrush.

If I'm not mistaken you can set KeePass (and KPXC) to show a confirmation popup before the browser extension can access a password for a website. But I haven't used this function so I'm not 100% sure.

> For something that just needs to store passwords, I don't see why there needs to be monthly updates or anything like that.

Because usability and UI do make improvements (probably an unpopular opinion on HN...) and follows trends, KeePass does look completely outdated, the UX is completely outdated and the – nowadays – most important part, browser integration, is only achieved via plugins.

Don't get me wrong, I still use KeePass, but I would never recommend KeePass to non-technical users (and would think twice about recommending it to technical users) while I would recommend KeePassXC to my mother.

Still does, although you really don't notice while programming.

People also use gestures and facial expressions while talking (see Italy for a frequently portrayed nation for this), why not use the next best thing in (non-formal) communication?

The video on YouTube has exactly 30fps, you can right click and view the information for nerds (I think its called in English).

Of course this doesn't help with the issue of pre-processing, but assuming no frames have been removed or interpolated the factor 200 should be more or less correct.

Problem left: at least I can't really mentally process what 200× faster/slower would look like. (Besides turning the light on tonight, opening the window and watching at moths flying into my room and taking off again...)

Standard videos on YouTube are 30fps, so it should be 200× slower.

Concrete or more typically some kind of (concrete) brick, then plaster, then wallpaper, then paint.

At least in many German houses.

But you can just drag the input field larger and add line breaks?

Yeah of course, downloadable als SQL or XML: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download#En...

There still are lots of classic boxes of "normal" pieces:

Putting a word in quotes achieves the same effect nowadays

In the many companies I've seen in Germany not a single person used outlook OWA except for when outlook had problems starting up..

And then comes unicode and all the simplicity is gone again as the rest of the world uses more than 26 letters.

Having a full time nanny would be as you described, in my eyes.

But you can have someone clean your flat/house, someone do the gardening, someone doing your taxes. Have someone cook for you. And thus have more time for your kids and still have more free time.

Thanks for that information, never heard of data diodes before.

Crazy, that such a seemingly simple idea was only realized as recently as 2015.

At least in Germany the closing quotation mark is the other way around like „this“

With face masks, the people who need them and the people who have lots of money are not the same group of people

Atleast in the EU it even is forbidden to use false information ("only X rooms/seats/items left" if that isn't true) as a sales tactic.
