You really didn't think about this. Search engine crawlers are specifically designed to ignore sites that have the right setups. In other words: they try to be good citizens of the web. Data scrapers on the other hand are known to stea

The disadvantage with floats is you can't do accurate computations due to having an inexact representation. Python has the same issues with floats. For example: I do a lot of work with financial software and also some basic applied cry

Someone whose sick of every kid on the site blogging every time they learn how to code a hello world in a new language. Like, this is the equivalent of half the shit that gets posted on HN now. I have to wonder how they are making it to the

Python's math operations are going to need a lot of C code because the numbers can be any size. It's part of what makes it so great for scientific computing (as you don't have to spend hours implementing arbitrary precision m

I really can't imagine anything worse than trying to support the Windows API. I'm sure there are those of us here who still have nightmares from the famous Charles Petzold "Programming Windows" book. In this 1500+ page t

I'd call it cheating too but yeah. I like the pi and sensors though. Sounds like the start of something cool. Wish I could get a product like this to put in my roof to detect leaks. That would be useful.

So does the docker file have something like python bytecode files in it or actual source? If it has source aren't you worried about people leaking it?

There's also that library all the AI models started using that gives you a public URL to share. After researching it: https://www.gradio.app/ is the link. It's used specifically for making simple UIs for machine l

You've chosen a really bizarre way to package your software. I'm looking through your repo and can't see any code for your libraries. It seems like its somehow part of the docker image? So then this is just a shim for a docke

This sounds like a plan cooked up by a shonky tradesman 'its ok, well use epoxy to patch her up. she'll be right, m8' (sound of house falling down.mp3)

It's okay guys, Google is only a small startup so you can't really fault them for not having the money to fix things.

Very good question. I don't have a degree so the way that I use to demonstrate my skills is all due to public projects. I'll show you the main projects that really landed me my first tech jobs. Granted, they weren't very good

I love it, OP. Really creative take on the original game and this is a totally unique use of windows as an input. It's smart on many levels. I wonder if this game could be used as a benchmark for alternating attention (switching betwee

I remember some articles on HN a while back about running your own email servers. I think they basically said that they would end up in spam for just about every contact. It seems like most people today use email that runs through Gmail. Wh

Yeah, this makes sense to me. One problem that open source has is like a million fractured efforts for the same wheel. It can lead to a million half-baked solutions instead of maybe just a few solid options. I know it has pros, too, but in

I don't think most of us here are the intended audience for a book like this. TAOCP is meant to be a comprehensive compilation of the field of computer science. Such content is useful for people like researchers, lecturers, and those w

You can't just sign up as a mod though. The people who are mods are there because they were members of a select clique and when recruiting they're only going to choose similar people. The closest you can get to having an open proc

Reddit mods have some of the worst reputations for power abuse on the entire internet. People in the comments are saying that many of these people quit with the implication that this is bad. But what if it's not? There are quite a few

After all the OpenAI stuff I've just started reading drama into all these head lines. Like I read this as: 'North Korea develops state-of-the-art sodium-ion...' I am expecting something to happen now... OpenAI literally broke

I was curious what trading might have looked like for OpenAI given all the drama. But since the company is private that makes it hard. Still, prediction markets have been going crazy over the news. Look at how sure people were that Sam woul

Wow, this new season has even more drama than the one about blockchain tech! Just when you think the writers were running out of ideas they blow you away with more twists. I will be renewing my Netflix subscription that's for sure! I c
