Lately I am using the Copyfish Chrome extension for help with Chinese subtitles/images. The very nice thing about it is that it plays nice with the Zhongwen dictionary, which is another essential Chrome extension for Chinese learners

No, at least not for me: My plan is buying the Model 3 and then engaging the autopilot in such a case - and just travel behind whoever is driving with 130 km/h in front of me. So for me - a reliable autopilot for the Autobahn is much

Yeah. Can anyone comment on the trustworthiness of this blog post? I also do not understand what is there to negotiate (except storage fees).

Yeah, the concept is the same as Sikuli, but all inside Chromium (and the OCR is better). >Do you find it better than Phantom? It depends. Once you have a working script, web scraping with Phantom is much faster and much more resource ef

If JS a problem for you, try Kantu. It works with screenshots and uses OCR for scraping. The beauty is that it works with any kind of site. But clearly, the speed can not match a node.js or perl based scraper (mechanize etc), so it is not s

Interesting... how does this compare to https://a9t9.com/kantu/scraping ? WrapApi seems to tackle the same task (web scraping) from a very different angle. I wonder if anyone has used both and can compare.

The thing is, "programming" tests might be the most robust solution if you know how to do it - but it also can be a waste of developer time. In the end, you spend your time on debugging the tests itself... In my experience, reco

>Scrape bank statements... There is Kantu: https://www.a9t9.com/kantu/web-automation It uses screenshots and OCR to automate web browsing and scraping, to you do not even have to "touch" the DOM. What you

For complex pages, there is Kantu, which is based on Chromium: https://www.a9t9.com/kantu/web-automation Not headless, but ideally suited for automating complex websites (date controls, etc).

You need to compare apples to apples: The right benchmark for VSCode is not Visual Studio, but Notepad++ (5.9MB on my system right now).

Not open-source but free: Kantu ( https://kantu.io ) uses OCR to support web scraping. You mark an anchor image/text with a green frame and mark the area of data that needs to be extracted with pink frames. The image inside

Or, as with any website without Api, you can use tools like Selenium or Kantu that automate a system via its web interface.

I would not call these services useless ;) - but I wonder the same... Some apis like https://ocr.space return the coordinates of each converted word. Can that be a used input? (I have not tried it yet)

This service has a very nice and honest "about" page: https://healthchecks.io/about/ "The ops team consists of a single person, so multi-hour or even multi-day outages are possible".

This is rather easy for the typical HN crowd. For example, to get a working visa for Germany (Blue card) you "only" need to find a job that pays more than 50000 Euro/year. In a nutshell, that is all. http://www.bam

Good news: You don't need to pay, because Microsoft OCR is available for free, nicely packaged as "DLL". The caveat: It currently supports only UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps: https://blogs.windows.com/

This chart is wrong in at least one line (probably many more): Norway pays about the same per capita as the UK does/did (source: interview of the german treasury secretary, Schauble). So while the Norwegian model is a valid option - it
