But no one is training these kinds of models on their personal device. You need compute clusters for that. And they will probably run Linux. I'd be surprised if Microsoft trains their large models in anything else than Linux clusters.

Have you looked at DigiKam? It offers directories, tagging (with custom tag hierarchies), deduplication and also face recognition. I think it can do quite a bit more, but I'm not a heavy user, at all. I just use it for keeping track of my modest library and it works great for that.

I had not known about 'font-display: optional' before. Now I wish more sites used it because there has been so many times where I started reading something on my phone with slow internet when it had not fully loaded yet. It’s really annoying to see the page jump around a while later after font loading finished and you realize that you just wasted data on nothing.

In my opinion, 95 % of websites should just use system fonts. They’re good enough for almost every need really.

I took a look at your link and I don’t understand why you feel it’s “really risky”. To me (a German), it seems like any other playground with quite common elements. Sure, the climbing web (if that’s what it’s called) is high, but this is a structure where kids will not even get that high if they are not skilled.

All the images and videos just looked so American to me. A guy pulling kids in wagons with his motor vehicle, where I’m just asking myself: Why? And of course, almost all the adults and a fair amount of the kids are overweight …

I’m not trying to bash America, but this did confirm quite some stereotypes of mine.

They weren’t even the tallest for very long because the Sears Tower was completed in 1973.

It has one for me.

Even if not many developers use an email-based workflow for their own work, I think it’s pretty well-known that the Linux kernel does.

To be exact, Google did not “delete” the app. It cannot even do that. It removed the app from its own app store. The fundamental problem is that Google’s own app store is perceived by many users to be the only way to install Android apps.

Are there any ideas about how to convince users to use other app stores?

If you do it this way, you have to copy your actual server’s private key to your local machine (or even machines if you’re using several), though. That possibly increases the chances of it getting compromised.

I’d prefer getting a separate certificate for local.domain.tld instead.

Please correct me if I have a misunderstanding.

While u"" is accepted in current Python 3, for some reason they ignored the raw unicode string ur"" which still is a syntax error in Python 3. So, unicode_literals is definitely preferable.
