And here I thought after reading the headline: finally a reliable Arabic OCR. I've never in my life found a good that does the job decently especially for a scanned document. Or is there something out there I don't know about?
Interestingly while the minorities have a higher birth rate compared to the majority Chinese, the ethnic breakdown remains the exact same throughout the decades. This is because Singapore's unsaid migration policy is such that the government takes in more immigrants of Chinese ethnicity to make up for the shortfall.
Keeping it at a fixed ratio indefinitely has a plausible legitimate reason, preventing the inevitable backroom political battles and bribery schemes by various groups seeking to tilt the immigration ratio in their favour.
This is obvious yet brilliant. I've been working for so long without realising that meetings are a process, not the end. I.e. they have to lead to something.
Onyx relationship with Open Source licensing is… delicate. This could be a stopper for some.
I had a Remarkable 1 but I feel the company is trying to be the next Apple. Everything now is subscription. Shame, as
The reading experience was good, writing was excellent, software was open but clunky.
I can't wait until e-paper tablets become mainstream and more companies start making them. Having a generic OS like Android or Linux, instead of the closed off system of a kindle or whatever, would be amazing. Imagine how many different kinds of apps you can run on something like that.
With colour e-paper screens slowly picking up speed it's going to be even more interesting. Right now their quality is going to be disappointing if you expect the same quality as your phone or laptop, but it's an enormous step up from greyscale screens - and it's still getting better.
Indeed, but I was really over with the process of maintaining a Windows partition with a 10 years old version of the Kindle App, with updates disabled, for the sole purpose of manually downloading Kindle books for conversion to epub for transfer to the Remarkable.
I always have this problem. Not sure if I want the mouse pad to be totally deactivated while typing. I don't mind the pointer moving (might be a valid input anyway), but the clicking should be disabled so that the typing doesn't accidentally appear on an unintended area of the screen.
True, though his videos often fit the criteria of including "tactile" or "natural" sounds and he seems careful not to add anything that would get in the way.
In almost every way, aside from the use of "a drop of blood"?
Snark aside, this article is claiming testing for a single blood parameter, clotting time, using purpose built hardware
/ software methods, vs the Theranos claim of building a single lab-in-a-box type device, that could test for myriad conditions or parameters all via a single drop of blood.
Some tests work fine in a single drop of blood. Some need more volume to pick up the very tiny concentrations of what you are trying to detect, particularly antibodies or antigens.
If you're trying to find a needle in a haystack you can't grab a handful, look at it, and say "nope, no needle in this stack!"
