how do you upgrade some existing "thing" from a google sheet to a colab notebook? I know of the gspread package for python... but I can't see how that gives you anything but the raw data from the sheet. any graphs and interac

I chose to skip breakfast. I am never hungry in the morning. I almost never have breakfast. I eat "late" the night before, like around 8-10 pm. Maybe that's bad? IDK. While the topic is eating, I hate lunch around noon on a w

These kids are still required to have a programmable graphing calculator in high school, right? Those things, today, are basically phones without the cellular circuitry. Some have Wi-Fi, and those that don't, have enough I/O to be

3k is a bit small... consider, those are newspaper people. they send HTML emails, PDFs, scans, photos, all that stuff. wouldn't surprise me if they collected a few megs a day. busy people.

The issue is control and safety. I expect my bookmarks to be complete, to not disappear silently and randomly. I'd rather build my own little bookmarking system on a LAMP server (I will probably do that) than subject my digital life to a

did the earthquake kill thousands, or did the total failure of a nuclear power plant kill them? a tsunami can kill just as many people as an earth quake. the subsequent deaths due to a destroyed power plant are another matter. from the arti

It would make me feel constantly judged, arbitrarily even (because how would you ensure level-headed tagging?). It'd be as bad as downvoting, which is deliberately not possible on HN (with few exceptions).

"class-oriented" languages (such as java) attract such people. OOP seems to be "difficult", so there are lots of "tutorials" around that "teach" OOP by introducing and combining all those brainless constructs, without teaching common sense.

calling it a "small business" invokes images of a struggling entrepreneur out to improve the world. this is a scam. threats of litigation. withholding of property. unlawful contracts. you used "mob mentality". that's a big red flag to me. a

"full-time" means spending your whole day earning money, just so you have no strength left to enjoy the "rest" of your day. i find that crazy too.

you're actively trying to destroy the idea of natural language programming. you'll succeed because the idea itself means nothing unless someone implements it. natural language programming means that you, as the human, concentrate on high-

A moment isn't such a long time anymore, not for compute clusters anyway. If we don't keep trying to make AI, we're never gonna get there. I'm not saying data mining is AI. I'm saying human brains do data mining too, but differently, and fi

Well, I've learned to be impatient and not wait my turn, when a discussion requires it. That kind of social interaction tires me out though. I like calm. Excitement only prevents rational thinking.

i surveyed the numbers, noticing bunches of 30-40 and few smaller numbers. so i got to roughly summing them up into hundreds. in the end, i got to around 500. the bottom row alone gets you around 250 and the one above that another 200-250.

this is probably going to to the way of Buzz. they'll screw it up, it'll be intrusive, privacy will be violated. besides, how much more "social" can google get? someone at google is trying too hard.

i see a lot of "canned" content getting streamed over there. what's the point of that? i can just as easily download that stuff, in higher quality, watch it whenever and wherever i want, and i can even pause and seek.
