That's a pretty clever idea, well done!

Because assistive technologies (like screen readers) won’t interpret it as a table, but the browser will, giving you the ease of table-based layouts without the accessibility hang-ups.

The Cree LED bulbs I had years ago had a major buzzing problem. Do you feel like that's still an issue?

I have three weighty Philips bulbs mentioned in the teardown as carriage lights on the exterior of my house. They've been on 24/7 for maybe seven years now.

I'd really like a personal "correlate all the things!" setup that has a plugin architecture for any source and creates a time series and document-based store of whatever I want. Tweets, e-mails, text messages, time tracking,

I wonder if the “stacking” software often used in amateur astrophotography might help. Or possibly using the Super Scale feature in Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve?

Fascinating: in reader mode, their anti-adblock script does a ROT-1 of the text. I thought it was ROT-13 at first…but the DFT (CES) was a giveaway.

Buzzfeed News ≠ Buzzfeed It’s an important distinction :)

They should do what the Norwegian Navy does, and put barcodes on the cars. Why does Norway do it? When their ships pull into home port, they Scandinavian. ;)

When used in the present tense, presently is indeed a synonym of currently. When used in the future tense—e.g., “I will be leaving presently”—it means “shortly,” since “currently” isn’t compatible with the future tense.

The Pillow [0] app does a great job of automatic sleep tracking using Apple Watch sensor data. Edit: with my Series 4, I wear my watch all day, and charge it when I’m showering/getting ready in the morning and when I eat dinner/re

Late to the thread, but the author mentions that the fan runs when the door is opened; perhaps a relay that is opened when energized by the interior light would be a good solution to that issue?

Depending on the RDBMS and the target text (ideally, you’re looking to compare an entire column to the search text, and in a known character set, and known casing, etc.), I’d take one of two approaches: 1) write a UDF—in C, or for SQL Serve

You’re reading about the issue, aren’t you?

Connecting the dots? That’s fine. Making up new dots? That’s not.

I already have a self-curated list of tail numbers of the private aircraft owned by oligarchs (and other international parties of interest), and a while bunch of ADSB data. Combine that with a timeline of events (and, for some, locations),

I have yet to get anything back from them. Honestly, there is no good reason that born-digital content couldn’t get posted in digital/textual form rather than scanned pages. The secure redactions created by other software would’ve been

That was my prediction and hope. Judging by the DMs I’ve gotten, it was an accurate prediction. :)

The informal thread was really written for my followers on Twitter, which (mostly) comprise a very different demographic than HN. I use a different voice when speaking to mostly non-technical people. It’s the teacher/public speaker in

The unredacting stuff was abandoned. It’s problematic even with training on other material from the SCO, and the ethics are fraught. The correlation is where it’s at, no doubt.
445.
by spdustin 8y ago
The unredacting part was originally borne out of my experiments with a word-level LSTM approach trained on everything the SCO had released. More relevantly, that part was quickly abandoned. It’s all about extracting date-referenced narrativ

Yeah, that’s bumming me out a little. It’s the NER (which is getting a lot of my time on this one because spaCy is an amazing tool to extend) and the correlation with other data that’s the interesting part. Especially those flights. I wish

by spdustin 8y ago
I have, actually. That thread was truncated and a new one started where I’ve shared some new things. The whole thing is like a weekend project that’s being narrated for my Twitter followers. They’re (in general) a very different demographic

Oh, that’s my thread. It’s not written for the HN crowd; my followers on Twitter are a very different demographic. It’s written to help non-technical folks start to consider the possibilities of the technology that exists in their lives now

The comments on this thread have broken me. I’m just not going to read comments here any more, and consume the FP via an RSS aggregator.

You got that backwards; it “powers” hydraulics, and in some (uncommon) cases, supplies electrical power to other systems.
