Serious question: what other national or global-level weather services are freely available via API to end users? With AccuWeather going all-in on premium access and the NWS/NOAA being sabotaged, is there anywhere else with freely available high-quality data out there in readily-ingestible formats?

I've recently found https://open-meteo.com/ - maybe that ticks some of the boxes?

I think the separation happens organically, and is driven by efficiency.

The environment needed for maximizing work is often at odds with the environment for maximizing leisure.

wuyishan · 2 years ago

"maximizing" seems to be the problem here.

This is good timing -- I am literally in the middle of researching lenses and film SLR cameras for a beginner -- I'm looking to get into film photography.

Anyone here have recommendations?

I am currently reading about the Olympus OM-1 and it all sounds great apart from the lack of exposure compensation (but that might just teach me the hard way).

Have a look at the Fujifilm X-S10 https://fujifilm-x.com/en-sg/products/cameras/x-s10/

I like it a lot.

I am having the same issue on MacOS 12.2.1 (21D62); Python 3.10.6 What did you upgrade to solve this? Thanks! (I can get it working with `--precision full`)

Hello,

imo the trend of websites adding more spacing (padding) as the years go by is annoying, so I decided to do something about it. I hope this to become a manually curated, collaborative effort, but so far the 500 lines CSS are for GitHub, GitLab, Reddit and Twitter only.

Thanks for building this! Especially on small screens the (useless?) whitespace is annoying and rather distracting.

The problem with whitespace (or also colored whitespace) is in my opinion a true problem on mobile devices too. The ratio between available information and screen estate is oftentimes very off.

This all looks like a lot of Very New Design Decisions. I tend not to be an early adopter on these, although it is mostly moot because I am no longer in the video delivery business. I have been considering streaming sets of short films, commercials, trailers, and movies to friends in a live stream via a pipeline of comparatively hoary old tech:

1) A playlist of multiple different video files in VLC as a source for ...

2) OBS Studio, which produces RTMP to be consumed by ...

3) nginx, which calls ffmpeg to produce multiple birates and resolutions to be rebundled as HLS to be sent to ...

4) a "live TV" channel of my own specification as an input to JellyFin, which can be read by ...

5) various clients on Roku, Apple TV, Firestick, Chromecast "apps"

At this point, I don't think the industry will ever really settle down to something manageable.

This perfectly describes my experience as a TA in graduate school. At first I didn't understand why my advisor insisted on being so precise in assignment instructions. Then when TAing with him I saw how students could creatively misinterpret instructions, even when I could not imagine how to make them more precise. An exception for the new case would be added to the next iteration of the assignments. I only understood why we went to such lengths to prevent cheating because in my first year I watched my advisor spend two weeks of his time sitting down individually with each student and present evidence that they had cheated. Only about 10% of the students had cheated, but in a class of 1400, that's 140 students! I can't even imagine how much work that must of been on the head TA.

Did someone ask the students why they were cheating or creatively interpreted instructions? And then tried to address the underlying problem?

wuyishan commented on Show HN: Save and search the full text of your browser history browserparrot.com/... · Posted by u/iansinnott

iansinnott · 4 years ago

Thanks. We first grab all browser history from your existing browsers and slurp it into a single sqlite database. We do this sequentially but since it's sqlite-to-sqlite it's usually very qucik.

For the full text portion we send out a request to the URL for the full HTML, distill it (similar to "reader" mode in some browsers) and add that distilled content to the full text index.

The full-text generation happens with some concurrency but we intentionally didn't want to spam anyone's server so it's limited and takes a while to populate.

wuyishan · 4 years ago

how does the crawling works, if the URLs content is behind logins or similar?
