I appreciate you taking the time to summarize all this; I've only begun writing in earnest this past year and I'm glad to know that the habits I'm working on developing now are sustainable for the long term.

I would simply familiarize with just the basics because you don't have to go much further than that to make use of it for research purposes. My usual process involves breaking the process down into multiple stages (cleansing, conforman

Nothing feels cleaner than storing everything (notebook, raw data, cleansed data, misc scripts, etc.) in a docker image when you're finished with the project. Data science and docker are meant to be besties.

Just compared a few coins from coinbin to http://coincap.io/front/ and the prices seem to differ, so my initial instinct is to say no, but dev feedback would be great :) EDIT: Just looked through the source of the proj

This is one of those perfect "I had a problem, made a solution, and others think it's neat" posts that make HN impossible to miss. Well done!

Perfect, thanks!

Yo songzme, I have to thank you for throwing this up because as a result, I've since stumbled on 3Blue1Brown and his awesome video on crypto and math in general. You linked his video the same day he posted it, and I couldn't have

IMHO, I wouldn't consider yourself late to the party. There's a ton of work being done on the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and new languages are coming out for it (like Viper). The biggest challenge at the moment is knowing whic

I've noticed a new phenomena when it comes to posts on HN that criticize or complain about something I like. I find myself really drawn to it because I know that the comments will have people respectfully disagreeing and proposing alte

Yes, and also staying in touch meaningfully enough that it doesn't seem tacky and manipulative when asking about the kids :)

Could be a paid feature, I wouldn't mind paying for advanced features like that. I've been searching for a personal, non-sales oriented "CRM" platform for months now and am currently using Accompany but this feels far mo

I'm surprised by the progress and uptake of the node vm lib; it's really found a ton of cool business models. From powering the Screeps game world, enabling smart message routing for PubNub BLOCKS, to stuff like this. I'm exc

Awesome intro, that was pretty easy to follow :) Just a few small typos to point out: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/02/what-makes-webassembly-fas... "Executing" section - "...know how to write code

I love seeing cloud providers offering better deals, the more the merrier! However, I still have yet to find a better deal than the one Scaleway offers. ~$3/mo for a dual-core, 2GB RAM, 50GB SSD host. They also support terraform, ranch

TL;DR - Sell BTC on Shapeshift for XMR, Sell XMR on XMR.TO for BTC. You're basically tumbling the coins through third parties. In reality this has little to do with BTC/XMR but more of a generalized strategy to obfuscate via alt-s

Hi Arik, Quick question: to what decimal accuracy are the visualizations capable of displaying, and are second/sub-second time series possible in the dashboards? The issue our team has been having with other platforms such as Quicksigh

Quicksight has been frustrating to work with to say the least. Generic error after error with no debugging info, poor integration with Athena, lacks the ability to plot data more granular than hourly, and with a max limit of 4 decimal preci

This is a good start, but for those not entirely embedded in the ecosystem, it's unreasonable to expect exposing a Postgres DB without SSL. I'll stick with Tableau for now.

$5K seems immensely optimistic for a year, even if you exclude airfare. Do you have any links/blogs where people were able to pull that off?

Have you check out PipelineDB yet? They build on Postgres and include continuous views, aggregations, joins, etc. http://docs.pipelinedb.com/continuous-views.html

This strikes me as the underlying spec for the new Batch service mentioned at re:invent.

This is a really fascinating concept - in reality there's no reason this needs to be anchored to bitcoin, only a blockchain for hash verification. Maybe another blockchain can be used that wouldn't charge transaction fees for upda

Is there any hope that if chat bots do actually become widespread in usage that eventually we'll be able to aggregate their collective knowledge similar to reinforcement learning for a single system? That seems like the only likely way

It was originally called "Project AIX" but IBM didn't find it agreeable.
