I’m a frickin genius.

Context: my kid is mildly allergic to citric acid and citric fruit. Brings out eczema. And citric acid is in SO many things. And it’s painful checking ingredients lists for it.

This morning I wondered: can my phone OCR the ingredients list and check it?

My first thought was to make a little web app. But there doesn’t seem to be a OCR in web browsers yet.

But I KNOW my phone can get text from images.

Then…

Apple Shortcuts!!!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!

This website provides the full back archive of BYTE magazine, all 23 years of it from 1975 to to 1998. It's a treasure trove of vintage tech and nostalgia, not even Archive.org carries all the issues.

The site actually focuses on old Apple magazines, but has also PC magazines and other resources on the history of microcomputing.

I believe teachers don't explore reflections in circles because they don't understand the geometry behind it, which is based upon an altitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, tangents to circles, geometric means OB*OC=Radius^2. Simple and beautiful

You can filter any Mastodon account's public posts by hashtag using the following website address:

(mastodon profile's web address)/tagged/(hashtag without the #)

So, for example, to see all my public posts with the hashtag "Mastodon" the address would be:

mstdn.social/@feditips/tagged/…

:rss: As many have pointed out in comments, you can also add .rss to the end of the address to create an RSS feed.

Tak jsem konečně dnes viděl film Rubena Östlunda The Square (Čtverec). Všem, kdo neviděli, doporučuji. Hodně silný zážitek a jak říká upoutávka "Vítejte ve čtverci jménem současná Evropa".

Here's just another example from the US government why choosing strong passwords is so important: techcrunch.com/2023/01/10/inte…

Check our guide to learn how to create a strong password: tutanota.com/blog/posts/how-cr…

Spoiler: Most importantly, set up second factor authentication! 🔒

' Often, when we give a blank map of the surrounding areas to Inuit who are helping us [they] have no problem recognizing and identifying features on the map, going only from their recollections of the land and what their families have described to them in words or in songs — without otherwise having used maps. They’ll even correct you, explaining something like, “there should be a lake there, but it’s not on your map.” '

@pluralistic pointed to a wonderful post by Jo Walton, which included the following (re how SF fans read SF):

"There are lots of forms of what I call incluing, scattering pieces of information seamlessly through the text to add up to a big picture. The reader has to remember them and connect them together. This is one of the things some people complain about as “too much hard work” and which I think is a high form of fun."

Yes. Yesyesyes. A perfect encapsulation.

Rishi Sunak's new anti-union legislation means when workers democratically vote to strike, they could be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. Join the campaign to protect the right to strike.

Holy cow! Put a Bluetooth mic by TV. Connected it to @Android and turned on live captions for #GoldenGlobes It’s better and faster than TV captions. Not as accurate but the TV captions delay and ALL CAPS are too much.
