I am a backer, after having discovered logseq as a viable alternative to Roam. Great project, and a great and responsive team building the system.

For the ones looking to do the same: https://opencollective.com/logseq

Definitely would be great to see this project gain mindshare and funds. Also, for the ones who wonder what it is they reach when clicking the link for this "Show HN", there is an about-post here: https://logseq.com/blog/about

Thank you for the support!

I just moved to a new university that uses Canvas, and while it is not perfect, it actually does not cause physical pain when entering data.

We use Moodle since we can not afford the privilege of paying a lot of money for such a crappy experience. I notice a lot of other schools went with Canvas for the same reason.

Here in Germany, Moodle seems to be the defacto standard (100% at n=4). It surely does have some rougher edges, but overall I like it a lot.

Its also very well supported by course provider companies. I have installed four plug-ins to handle using outside company tests and courses.

I worked with a non-technical manager (banking background, somehow wormed his way into managing development) who never asked devs what they thought a task would take. I finally convinced him that this could not possibly work. I sat with him the first time he asked a dev how long the current task would take. The dev said "4 weeks". This guy said "I think it should take 2, so that is what I am putting in the schedule". Mind you, this guy had never written a line of code and had NO basis for his "thought" on the task length.

Haha that's great. "Let's settle with 3! Ha, good deal."

Things like these make me sometimes think that the whole business world is just a bunch of people lying to each other. Very depressing.

My personal favorite are the bosses that poll the group and pick the lowest estimate

Scrivener is fantastic - used it throughout my doctoral studies

Headspace has been great for me as well. It has helped me in quite a few ways, including helping to reduce anxiety.

Except for searches on Google Scholar, ddg is my primary search engine. Very few times have I found that I get better results in Google.

Which extension do you use in Emacs to get the symbols?

I am not aware of an extension doing this. I wrote some elisp for doing this a few years back.

Can you share your latex setup?

Its something related to prettify and auctex; unfortunately im on mobile atm.

cdlatex-mode has that feature IIRC. Probably auctex does too.

Google did not come up with this - JetBrains developed the language and use it to develop their tools.

It has instant messaging as well, so I think that is the difference.

We analyze images of skin lesions and give a probability whether they are malignant melanoma. The analysis is performed on-board on mobile phones.

Thats super cool. We built a simmilar simple app on a Hackathon. We are getting 90% Accuracy nowadays. We opensourced it at https://github.com/kuboris/smartoscope We should add an App for download as soon as our Android developer fixes some minor bugs. The plan is to make it open to use any model so people can train and provide their own. Any advice ? :)

do you worry about the weights of your net being stolen off the app through reverse engineering?

It is a bit of concern, but we are not out in the wild yet so we have time to look at ways to protect the IP.

Hey, sounds interesting. Would you share the name of your company/ startup?

At this point, it is university research. The work has been published, and we are in clinical trials in prep for commercialization.

Is this just for melanoma, or has it expanded into pap smear and bronch territory? My mother's a cytotech and every couple of years somebody claims they're going to replace her with a shell script. Hasn't happened yet, though.

We are expanding it to a number of skin and ocular diseases.

Do you mind sharing a link to the research?
