• Ask HN: Why are paywalled articles on HN mostly available on an archive link?

  (1) Technically, I think that site works by identifying itself as the Google webcrawler and seeing the full-text version that many sites would like to have indexed. (2) There's the question of why that site isn't taken down (or how it pays its bills) and my guess is this: In the 2000s it was an open secret that you could read the news on most sites like The New York Times with the username and password... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Christmas Day menu ideas

  This pot roast with winter root vegetables (I use rutabaga instead of celery root, but any root veggies are perfect) No sides needed other than bread and/or maybe some noodles. If you want a green vegetable, track down a whole stalk of brussels sprouts and roast them. Recipe is paywalled on epicurious.com and you can no longer paste links from 12 ft ladder, but you can access yourself through it https://12ft.io/. Source: 7 months ago

• How can I get subtitles or some kind of translation into Spanish while I am teaching in English?

  Do you have access to Microsoft products? They have an appthat students can add to a device that will translate your spoken words into text (you have to have the app or website open as well). There are several other Microsoft translation tools that would also work in different ways, which you may be able to use without a Microsoft license. Google’s translation tools are not as well integrated. Source: over 1 year ago

  It is very interesting to understand how Machine Translation engines work such as Masakhane translate, Google translate, Amazon, Microsoft Translator, etc. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
