I live in Northern Michigan, surrounded by many bodies of water (Grand Travers Bay, Elk Lake, Torch Lake, etc) and am 10-25 minutes away from lake Michigan at any point in the day.

I know for the locals the reason we don't worry much about this is because in the last few years they've...disappeared. They were horrible for a while. You'd cut your feet on them (their shells are razor sharp), the beaches would be white from being covered in their shells. It was awful. You couldn't enjoy time at the beach in many areas.

But lately, they're gone. There hasn't been much mention of why that I've seen but we're less worried about them now as they've all but disappeared.

Pretty sure it's impossible with SMS unless the service queues messages for a while and gives a take-back period.

DAE think Windows 98 was the best OS Microsoft released?

actionscripted 2 points3 points 9 hours ago[-]

Best for the time, sure. I wouldn't say best ever but I miss the days of UI subtlety before everything was transparent, blurry, shadowed, beveled, gradient-heavy and...cluttered.

I don't however miss the days when you needed to get drivers for EVERYTHING to work. Win 98, OS 9, GNU/Linux -- fuck that noise. The best part of modern OSes is the way I can plug in nearly any peripheral and things will work (love you, CUPS).

HA! Do THAT in HTML5

They say right in blog post you provided that they used it in some manner. I'm not saying they used it fully, but knowing how it works I feel very confident that when Google says they utilized it that I know which parts they may've used.

You may want to re-read my comment. Edited a bit hoping to lighten the tone before you responded but it looks like I didn't make it in time.

I understand perfectly. Your original comment mentions "looking at the graphic objects" and "visually" navigating. What Google's post says is they're looking at text and text placement while following links and interacting with the SWF. The difference is that what Google says their doing is they're pulling text and links. What you say Google's doing is they're mapping everything out in a object based on...what exactly? How does their non-OCR magic know that a MovieClip is off-stage two seconds into playing an SWF? How do they know that the JavaScript file the SWF calls out to doesn't include directions to dump additional links into the SWF?

It doesn't. My point is that what Google is seeing is the text in your SWF. They do not build a display tree nor do they do any position/visibility checking -- this is why off-stage links in SWFs would appear and is one of the main reasons they scaled back including SWF content in the SERPs the last few years (well that and a reduction in Flash use).

I've worked with the Flash Search SDK that Google and many of the engines based their crawlers on and until you can offer a source that supports your visual tree suggestion I believe it's you who has a bad understanding of the way this stuff works.

but we can tell you that the algorithm's effectiveness was improved by utilizing Adobe's new Searchable SWF library.

They're using the old Macromedia code, and they're not using OCR. If your text is broken into shapes or embedded in images they're not going to see it according to that post. Also according to that post, they're not doing anything visually to "see" the page other than following links and clicking buttons.

While I believe that Google uses OCR to read certain things (it's alive in Docs), can you prove this?

Adobe (well...Macromedia) had even released a Flash Search SDK, which Adobe has since taken down. It would parse your SWFs and report back the text it was able to find and in the order it found it.

[SMT] A vim plugin that lets you browse reddit.

As a vim user, you might have more luck with w3m (vim keys!). You might also try using m.reddit.com instead of reddit.com to get a more compact version.

Leashlaw's suggestion on this page to use a CLI reddit viewer might work well. Haven't tried any of them, but they look pretty awesome.

If you're using Vim I'd imagine you've got:

$~ lynx reddit.com

Or:

$~ w3m reddit.com

Or...

Drop by the userstyles subreddit and have a look around, post your own style.

The author says, "it's not production ready", just a test, etc. stop whining if it doesn't work perfectly everywhere. It's a test, for fun, that's it. If we only ever did what was safe in all browsers and never explored the web wouldn't evolve.
