What do you use to do the actual ocr?

Facial recognition cctv, the other day some protesters in South America shot down a drone using lasers, and now this? Clearly the precursor to Ed-209. The future is here I guess. I…

Once I worked at a place where ooh support accidentally pasted an entire maint guide into putty (right click paste is not a good idea) on a prod oracle server, it was fine until th…

Eurgh. What have we done? :(

Why are they loads better btw? I think in composable commands, being able to cat my logs without first setting them up to pipe to a syslog is something I very much want...

Have you used openbsd for anything lately? Systemd is better than the horrible mess of upstart/sysv etc, although the one linux laptop I run is using void (and thus, runit) and you…

I dunno about that, the majority of ops guys I work with (or have worked with over the last few years) dislike it... we’re mostly angry old greybeards though.

I tend to approach such tasks by just copying and editing a unit that shipped with the os (e.g sshd) — the example the post gives as being problematic is using some timer feature i…

You can send epub to your send to kindle email address with the word “convert” in the subject line and it’ll transform it into a mobi... as far as I know.. Edit: apparently you nee…

I’m sort of curious what dmr’s was now (his hash is gfVwhuAMF0Trw) from the same dump...

A lot of the buildings in Berlin have very old pipes and while the water to the building is alright, we (in Berlin) have to rely mainly on glass bottles of water (bismark) as if yo…

Can you elaborate on your experience with it? Is that thing really worth €820? I like the idea of a giant e-reader but that’s really quite a lot of money for such a device.

Murex is going “cloud”

Utter madness.

I think there’s a difference between scanning all incoming mail for spam and keeping a details list of my purchase history by scanning my inbox for receipts somehow... If they aren…

If they don’t scrape your email how is this page generated then? https://myaccount.google.com/purchases

It’s part of OpenBSD who can’t use git for licensing reasons and the switch from cvs->svn isn’t really worth it. There is a git mirror on github and you can work on that and submit…

If you’re looking for something bigger for aircrack etc I use al alfa networks “AWUS036NHA” which is 5dB and you can pick up off amazon for about 30 euro. For normal dongles a sear…

I would be carful; if you think sap people are billed a lot per day you should see how much we’re invoiced for murex consultants. Not the sort of companies who play nice on these s…

Kind of curious also how this works. If they’re in YC surely someone must have noticed? Murex is in use in all the banks I’ve worked at in the last 5 years, it’s rather well known?…

miniroot.fs is >4mb for 6.4 last time I checked...

How will reaching the end of Moore’s law cause a crash like this? Do you mean that future requirements will outstrip capacity? I don’t think this has been true for some time, we ru…

I can’t speak for the simplicity, but by all accounts the backend of this system is (it was at some point) a single ec2 instance and is a single person project. Granted that person…
