I certainly feel the article could have made more of their central points, which were mainly anecdotal / common sense. This is the part I'd like to have seen more proof and analysis around: "the Indian giants have also been

That's a fair concern but in my experience you have lots of the benefits of being up near the edge with very little blood. It helps to read the Arch news link but normally I've missed it the rare time I ought to have checked it an

This looks interesting. How does it handle spoofed email addresses? A feature I'd like along with this (although I realise this breaks the paradigm of only accepting email you actively want) would be to let unwanted people email me pro

Although the SO question is focused on the goal, this broad kind of task is quite a common requirement for chatbots, so looking at tools like RASA and Spacy for this are good places to explore (for those not opting for the commercial API ap

For that last point, forced alignment tools may be useful. An issue to watch for though is elision: a word in a sentence can often be said differently to the individual words, eg saying "last" and "time" separately one t

The people on those related projects seem like a great bunch of people to work with. I don't have "an in" but it's probably worth having a look over the Common Voice and Deep Speech forums on Discourse to see who the mai

Interesting, I've had no problems with full disk encryption on my XPS 13 from around then but I did switch to Arch Linux at the same time I was setting it up.

Yes, I was really impressed to be contacted by a genuine developer with sensible questions when I gave feedback on the GitHub Android app beta a little while back (funnily enough, given other comments here, my concern was it had simplified

Yes, very much this time. There's always a great cycle where they cherry pick the best from each other and Android adopted a bunch of things recently like gesture navigation but it's definitely seeming like it's a major catch

If they had increased their lending by a finite amount, matching the number of copies in closed libraries they'd been in touch with, then I could sort of understand an increase in keen lending over their normal levels, as it would not

You do not give a clear indication of your country. How you feel about the handling of suspects and trials and the imprisonment of those who are guilty will be a large input. If you're in a country where the act of arrest is itself bru

I've gone the opposite way and invested in a lovely Ultrawide Dell for home work and it's a huge benefit. Coupled with FancyZones from PowerToys ( https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys ) it's even better
