I scraped ~100k recipes from across the internet, and made this site to focus on south asian recipes (~2k). I will soon add features to better sort and filter these recipes by various diets, ingredients, and regions in South Asia.
I just launched a few days ago, and no revenue yet.
I would try to look for academic papers on the topic. Even if you can’t find an exact match, papers typically have a section that describes other related work. You can also scan through the citations to see if anything might be a match. If there’s some relevant paper, you’ll probably find it after searching through a few papers.
When reading a paper I would just scan the abstract, conclusion, introduction, related work section (possibly in that order) to see if it’s relevant.
For finding papers I like semantic scholar and Google scholar.
It covers how graphics libraries like OpenGL go from triangles to screen coordinates, and how they "shade" pixels in those triangles to create an image.
There’s a little more nuance than that. Even if text is drawn using plaintext data there’s no guarantee that the characters/words appear in the correct order or have the proper white space between them.
This is super cool! One suggestion I have is to try to optimize the arrangement of the cut-outs to use the paper more efficiently. In some cases I think up to 2x the cut-outs could fit on a page.
You may also want to consider trying to arrange the cut-outs so that the flat edge aligns with the flat edge of the page. Might result in less cutting for the user.
After spending a few hours reading up on topics I thought would be relevant, I find that I am significantly more productive with CSS. Instead of trying to find answers on google, I find that I’m better equipped to build things and diagnose issues on my own.
For single server/database web-apps, CRDTs might be useful because they allow offline edits, and (to me at least) they are simple to understand and implement. OT does allow offline edits too, but (I think) has poor performance if there are many offline edits.
For multi server/database web-apps, CRDTs might be useful because they reduce the centralization required for collaboration, and increase the fault tolerance. In a load balanced web app, different clients could connect to different servers/databases and stil achieve eventual consistency when those back-end systems sync up. If any of those systems go down, in theory traffic could be routed to other systems seamlessly.
You don't actually need to keep a log of all events. You only need to keep around just enough information to merge any 2 replicas.
Here's a very simple example: If there are only 5 users concurrently editing a document and each user has seen operations o1...oN, then you can safely compress the data for o1...oN.
Depending on the CRDT type you may not need to store any log at all. For an add-only set, for example, you only need to store the elements.
I think what's harder to solve is the metadata overhead problem. Most CRDT based text editors have a huge per-character overhead. As Martin mentioned, Automerge used to have a overhead of ~200bytes per character, but using a new binary encoding format they were able to reduce the overhead down to 1.5-7 bytes per character. (https://speakerdeck.com/ept/crdts-the-hard-parts?slide=67).
If I'm remembering correctly (this was from 3 years ago), the string was moved to a different section if it had a null byte in the middle of the string. That's why coming up with the assembly I used was kinda tricky.
On macOS, "gcc" puts strings that don't include a null byte in the TEXT section. I put quotes around gcc, since it seems that by default macOS aliases gcc to clang.
Hashes are inherently lossy. Although a rainbow table can maybe tell you one possible input for a given hash, it cannot tell you exactly what was hashed.
The podcast covers the stories of hackers, and the stories behind hacking attacks like Stuxnet. The creator comes from the cybersecurity field, so episodes don't shy away from including technical details. Each episode is well researched and very interesting. It is by far my favorite podcast.
