I would be happy to have your feedback. You can use it for free, no account is required. According your needs, which feature is missing or useless? Does it make a better job than your existing tool? Do you even use a tool? Would you be willing to give a try in your team?
jlink··on US Air Force connects 1,760 Playstation 3's to build supercomputer (2010)
Make me think of this cluster of 200 PS3 that was used in 2009 by EPFL to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem: https://www.epfl.ch/labs/lacal/articles/112bit_prime/
jlink··on Show HN: Choreogif – Dance as the GIFs
Initially, I wanted to go way further and add 3D avatars dancing like the connected users. This would use the webcam + bodypix to map the user dance with its 3D avatar. However, all of this requires just too much computation on client side to have something useable. Anyway, any suggestions on that lighter version?
jlink··on I asked Taylor Swift to solve an integral on Chatroulette in 2010 and
... I didn't know she was a celebrity. Initially, I intended to make a youtube video with a compilation of random people on chatroulette trying to solve an integral that I was showing on the webcam. I've never finished that project but now 10 years later I retrieved that video rush and it made me smile.

yes, definitely not easy but fortunately pdfbox offers a solid base to start with.

I didn't know about Tabula and i've given a try at the instant. Apparently it only extracts tables and ignores everything around. This might be good in some cases but it is a problem if you want to extract a form, a whole textbook, your bank statements or anything. Also, I noticed that Tabula has some slight troubles when columns are not drawn in the table. But overall it is a good tool for extracting only tables, that's true.

During the development I compared my results with the ones of pdftotext utility and i obtained more or less similar results. The objective of my code was to have an equivalent tool easily embeddable in any java/android project and to learn more about apache pdfbox.

Can you add the podcast on iTunes? it would be great for the synchronization with my phone. Or could you at least name the downloaded file with the # of the episode? Thank you! I am going to listen to the fist ep tomorrow in the train.

jlink··on Show HN: Sitekite – Imgur for Websites
I edited my site and then its address changed... Is it normal? "Find the link" is now at this address: http://sitekite.com/find-the-link-mxOa_Q
jlink··on Show HN: Sitekite – Imgur for Websites
Sounds interesting! But you should change your CSS for the links. It is not really pleasant and not very practical not to know which text is clickable. Try to find the only link of my site at first glance... http://sitekite.com/find-the-link-npxtDQ
