If I'm not mistaken, the algorithms (and their names) usually come directly from the literature. ie: to understand them, you could read books on AI / computer vision, or look up the research papers from which the algorithm comes from.

This, for me (in Canada). I now regularly throughout the day check several facebook groups related to my various hobbies. For example a group where serious cyclists from my area are buying/selling parts. Yes, I also check craigslist/kijiji, but the Facebook group is much more responsive, you can ask questions and comment, and I don't have to sift through a bunch of cheap parts I don't want. Also I trust it more because most people are somehow connected.

In fact I hardly ever check my facebook feed anymore, I mostly just go directly to the group I'm interested in.

Nothing happens for me where I press enter either, I have to click on the search icon (firefox on linux).

This makes it sound like rich people 20 years ago had it pretty bad... What did technology add to their lives aside from convenience?

It says in the readme he uses wxPython (wxWidgets). You could also use Qt as I believe both use native Cocoa underneath. You can't do everything that is possible if you were coding on Obj-C or Swift, but the stuff you can do looks native. Both have bindings in many languages.

Should be fixed now.

Both iOS and Android now have pretty good accessibility features for the blind. I think iOS is still slightly ahead though. Basically the phone reads out the button or action when you put your finger over it and you have to double tap to click. When you go to a new screen, it reads out the contents.

You can try it yourself if you have an iOS or Android phone by enabling the feature. But I've met blind people who use their touch screen smart phones every day.

OT, but it seems that in Canada all of the Foundation series is available as ebooks (on Amazon, Google, etc) except for the very first one... very annoying.

I'm also on Arch. I had to install the 'gst-libav' package (possibly in adition to the gst-plugins-good?) for it to work. Thanks.

You're right, the page you linked shows that my browser doesn't have support for H.264... though then I'm confused as to why the first GIFV loads for me when I open it on a separate page...

I don't know if its just me, but the GIFVs embedded on the page dont load for me, unless I click on them to open them in a page on their own, and the second one doesn't play even in this case.

I think the idea is to encourage people to make stuff in India, rather than a list of things already made in India... but yeah, it threw me off too.
