Logistically, these collections usually exclude alt.binaries traffic entirely. I often wonder if there are enough obsessive collectors out there to piece together an archive from ancient tapes and hard drives.

I had Prof. Beazley as a CS undergrad at University of Chicago. He was an amazing professor and much loved. Seeing how little the university valued his contributions is a big reason I chose not to pursue an academic path.

There is another important point, which is that FDM 3D prints are typically much weaker between layers than within a layer (anistropic due to the bonding). Having more control over the plane of the layers could open up some interesting design choices for functional parts.

Are there any OCR engines out there that actually recognizes underlines properly? Even the LLMs seem to struggle to model the underline (though they get the text fine).

Wait,
Are you demanding that independent implementations of an idea you explicitly dedicated to the public domain must then describe the various ways your version is “superior”?
Who hurt you?

Re:Ask HN: Anyone else in constant anxiety and how do you cope?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or other treatment modalities) and, maybe, medication! This sounds like the desperation of anxiety and depression. But there is hope! Untreated, it can be a killer, so remember 1-800-273-TALK for moments of crisis.

Interesting. Seems a lot like https://libfive.com/studio/, which lets you implement the shapes in Guile Scheme.
Re:How broken is the USPTO: How is this a patent
on Sunday August 12, 2018 @06:34PM (#17746834)
“Final” rejections are poorly named. All they really indicate is that you will probably have to submit a request for continued examination—-and pay a hefty fee—-to continue. Ironically, a lengthy and contentious application process can make the patent more difficult to challenge later, in a more sophisticated setting, because the presumption that the patent is valid is the strongest with prior art that the examiner “considered.” (IAALBNYL)
