Vimium calls their flavor the "vomnibar", and you can search in open tabs, history and bookmarks. The bar is my most used feature next to navigating on pages, opening links and managing tabs (Go to previous tab, pinning, muting, closing, duplicating). It might be a nice extension to take a look at for even more inspiration!

For people wanting tab switching like this on Chrome or FF, I'd say give Vimium a shot. Even if you're not into Vim-like key bindings, knowing Vim is definitely not a requirement to getting value out of it. It allows me to be completely keyboard driven.

Especially in Amsterdam the infrastructure in neighbourhoods is not suitable, the stores need to re-up their supply many times a day (10-15 times), leading to (bike) traffic build up in the often narrow streets [1][2].

They also supply in the weekend, which goes against local ruling on when business can load/offload (generally not in the weekend).

Their scooters and bikes take up a lot of space on sidewalks as well, which normally was used by residents only.

Springest is a rapidly growing international marketplace for learning. From online trainings to university courseware,

Springest helps you find, compare, and book whatever you need to reach your personal and professional learning goals. We are looking for a senior developer to join our product team. We use Holacracy which in short means we have no managers and you are in control of what you do. You help build and shape the product.

Stack: our main app is built on Rails with Postgresql, Elasticsearch, Redis and more. Next to this we have a lot of smaller services and internal tools where we use whatever tool is best for the job but we have Golang and Elixir/Phoenix in production.

Springeteers are a happy bunch, and learning is very important here. Next to internal workshops, we regularly host meetups in the Ruby and DevOps spaces, most recently we hosted Elixir Amsterdam. We also organise monthly in-company hackdays where we work on creative ideas and new technologies that are not on our regular roadmap. Some hackday projects have grown out to become part of our core business. If you come up with a great idea you're excited about, you can run with it and see how far it can go. Read more about that here: https://medium.com/@springestdev/how-to-run-an-all-company-h...

VISA: We can and have hired from outside the EU so we can help you get set up here in Amsterdam. Every employee gets a 1000 Euro budget per year which you can use to go to conferences, buy books etc to develop yourself. We are an English speaking company but some of us have also used it to learn Dutch.

Interview process: When hiring we like to talk in person or on the phone to get to know you, after which we do a 1-2 day trial to get a feel for your working style. This also helps you get a better impression of our team, our working environment, and the Holacratic process.

The GoPro software is horrendous in comparison as I could not even import my video files (one of 4,5 gb and another one of around 1,5) with over 25gb free space. Maybe it needed to convert before importing? In any case I just joined up the files with ffmpeg and imported in Virb and off I went, very recommended!

I have a hobby project where I scrape instagram photos, and I actually only want to end up with photos with actual people in them. There are a lot of images being posted with motivational texts etc that I want to automatically filter out.

So far I've already built a binary that scans images and spits out the dominant color percentage, if 1 color is over a certain percentage (so black background white text for example), I can be pretty sure it's not something I want to keep.

I've also tried OpenCV with facial recognition but I had a lot of false positives with faces being recognized in text and random looking objects, and I've tried out 4 of the haarcascades, all with different, but not 'perfect' end results.

OCR was my next step to check out, maybe I can combine all the steps to get something nice. I was getting weird texts back from images with no text, so the pre-processing hints in this thread are gold and I can't wait to check those out.

This thread is giving me so much ideas and actual names of algorithms to check out, I love it. But I would really appreciate it if anyone else has more thoughts about how to filter out images that do not contain people :-)

In iTerm [2] I have the left alt/option key setup as meta, so things like meta-b are much easier to type then Esc-b.
