If you are using this project for learning you may want to consider something like Astro: https://astro.build/
It will enable you to dabble in building different pages/routes in different frameworks very easily.

After cloning, I had to change the perms of the .sh files, install flask via pip and hope for the best. I wasn't sure what Python version to use, I used some 3.x. It would be really nice if this was fully containerized and I could launch in docker/podman.
Also I wasn't sure how to get the colors :shrug:

As an ex-Googler I believe they also use the data collection to "improve" products such as the Pixel phones. For example, they can compare the # of iPhones purchase receipts (emails accumulated from Apple, Amazon, Best Buy, etc) to the # of Pixel purchases. They compare this kind of stuff YoY and to Google's equivalent products and can build a pretty accurate picture of market adoption.

In the mid 50s silicon transistors started to replace vacuum tubes. I assume tubes were at their cheapest in the late 50s. I'm not sure why the article uses '57 in particular though.

After the Avro Arrow project was cancelled a number of the employees involved joined NASA to assist in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. It's a shame that the same kind of "brain drain" occurs to this day. Canada produces a lot of talented people and many of them head South.

Re:Ask HN: How come restaurants are still using food menu full of text?
on Wednesday March 18, 2015 @03:48AM (#9224135)
Probably because a physical menu actually takes less time to select a meal from. In the worst case, if every restaurant had their own menu app/site think about how long it would take a newcomer to install/navigate then figure out how the UI worked.
Plus you would still need to have physical menus as backup for those customers that don't have smartphones, are out of battery, etc.
I've seen some sushi spots have their menu on an iPad; and it worked pretty well. However, personally I also enjoy the conversational aspect of placing an order with a human server (with the interaction influencing the value of my tip).
This virtual menu concept brought this article to my mind: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2014/07/vira...
