You can find pretty much all the data that Google has on you - they allow you to examine the history of it. As far as I know they don't track your entire web browsing history but they do record all uses of their sites with your account

Firefox containers are awesome. Once you've got a GMail account it's really easy to fall into the trap of letting Google track your everything. GMail, Google searches, Google Maps, You Tube. Containers splits them out beautifully,

I similarly agree for the Pinterst's 'value driven' onboarding flow [0]. All the points are very bland and generic (and not great UX in my opinion), almost as if they've been auto-generated: > * Pinterest drives us

I find that I read my RSS feed about as often as I check my personal email, so having the two side-by-side works quite well. I also like the separation of not having it in the browser so that I'm not tempted to read it in the middle of

Interesting links. That paper indicates that it's primary benefit is with rotations rather than translations. Regular CNNs are perfectly capable of dealing with translations.

I'd say transformations are more important than rotations, as in a 3D world we'll almost never see an object from a perpendicular view point, but most of the time we'll see objects that are the right way up.

Personally I find the opposite, I always start with DDG, but sometimes it doesn't find what I'm searching for. Typically though the fallback with !g does work. However for me that's fine, it removes most of my use of Google s

Most of these plugins make Vim more like ST. Having switched from ST to Vim I have spent lots of time trying to add in the bits I miss. But there are benefits of Vim that ST are ever likely to have fully: * Open Source * Editing inside ssh

I agree, it's better to work with the internal tools if possible. I did install Tim Pope's vinegar plugin [0] as it adds some nice tweaks to netrw. But I've since switched to using FZF [1] and hardly use netrw anymore. [0]:

If you use a lowly PHP MVC framework, you'll get I18N pretty much for free. It's just a customised echo / print statement. Same for any Django, Rails app. So if what you're using is more difficult than that I'd ques

Perhaps I misread, but I got the impression they were going from Meteor front and back to React + Python. All I'm saying is that if you'd done that you wouldn't have to throw out everything to get React.

I think a better comparison is whether the Chinese prefer a VW Jetta built in China as part of the FAW-VW joint venture or a German built one. Luxury cars will always typically be built in the country of origin as they're not mass mark
