Huh, I didn't realise you had a separate landing page (which btw. displays a HTTPS certificate warning when you go to https://www.automicrofarm.com/ - you might want to fix that, lots of users still type the "www&

True, though this is not the kind of speed this article was talking about. You can get around that limitation somewhat by using multiprocessing module. I'm not saying Python is the best language of all, but dissecting Python bytecode i

It is easy to miss the point with such articles. OP touched upon it in chapter "So Why Use Python?". Raw speed, while sexy, is not a deciding factor in most cases - not everybody is working on HFT. And when it is important to be

Seriously impressed by your answer to Q #1, kudos! ("I see no market there, but feel free to prove me wrong") A bit of feedback: can I suggest including a bit of information about the project and aquaponics in general? It took me

Agreed. However he did go to some lengths to make it look like it wasn't suicide... It is difficult to judge given the (lack of) facts, but it's a sad story whichever way one looks at it.

I am not talking just about projects, but about cash in the bank. Once the funding stops you should have enough funds to bridge the gap until you find the next big project. Hopefully as great as Firefox and Rust are. Kudos to Mozilla!

Not that I don't agree with you, but there is this little thing of US citizens carrying guns which is far from customary in Europe... So I guess the US cops do operate in different environment. That said, I don't condone police

To be (more) precise: no evidence points to the official story not being true. It could easily have been the cops' fault.

And hopefully saves some part of that for rainy days when search deals will no longer be this profitable.

The buyer will surely negotiate with Mozilla before they buy Yahoo and get a commitment from them (which might be worth extra $). That, or they will see it as sunk cost. But Mozilla might have a bit of PR challenge on its hands if they walk

From where I'm from (Eastern Europe) the law mandates that the non-compete clauses are only enforcable when appropriate compensation was being paid during employement period (must be labeled as such). Since most employers (even those w

To be fair, this is not (just) OP's fault. Under no circumstances should just visiting a page render your computer unusable, your browser should protect you from that. I know that none of them do, but sooner or later browser vendors wi

Well, that's one thing you can be sure will never happen with Linux/*BSD. If some service bothers you, you can always reschedule it or turn it off. Good like with "phone home" updates in Windows 10! (unless you are an en

Interesting - I have the first edition of Hacking - The Art of Exploitation and found it an interesting read. Can't compare to other books listed here though as I haven't read any of them.

Nice writeup! Sounds pretty similar to the way serious web apps are being tested (using Selenium & co.). I find it interesting that they built their own testing system though - couldn't they have used some existing framework?

A bit off-topic: does anyone know a good resource about when to use neural networks, when genetic algorithms, when bayesian networks,...? I know the basics of some of these algorithms and I could implement them (with some googling), but I w

There already is an explanation: > Leaf is a Machine Intelligence Framework engineered by hackers, not scientists. It has a very simple API... That is quite a diferentiator.

Well said. Also, binary protocol could easily be added on top of HTTP, a kind of "smart-gzip" which would encode (known) HTTP to binary codes. That could make parsing faster while keeping the evolvability of the protocol intact.

Exactly, couldn't say it better! MS has a history of decisions which were meant to strangle the competition, one way or the other. Interoperability was never one of their strong suits.

I often use such error checking. Usually the value of such error message is in making the code easier to reason about, to further clarify some obscure use case (which can't happen). And if it does happen anyway - well, at least we get

Oh no, not Chrome versioning again... And this time not even on an app. :( What you're saying is that major number will change with time, not based on some groundbreaking updates. How am I supposed to know if I should be careful when u

I wonder why this process is not automated? I mean, it should be fairly easy to create an algorithm which would adjust letter spacing based on the actual printed letter. Another milestone for AI, now that Go is conquered? ;)

Remember the tablets, how they were supposed to be "the next big thing"? Remember who was pushing them? That's right - it was Bill Gates. Long before Steve Jobs. Except their product sucked big time because it was built on Wi

I have a nagging feeling that server side JavaScript will soon become the new PHP. It is getting more and more popular among not-so-good programmers, and given its loose syntax I think it will lead to disastrous code. Not to mention that EC

Naive question: wouldn't it be possible with SSD drives (which are mainly just chips, right?) to make the drives as boards and put them in 1U / 2U / 4U chassis? I mean, who need the HDD dimensions when you are fitting the dri

I think you are missing the point. What you say here (in HN comments) doesn't matter at all. You should fix the license accordingly - or not, if this suits you better. I agree with the parent though, if I were in busines and wanted to
