I've been visiting HN (many years) and mostly enjoy it. The difficult thing for me is how hard it is to post anything and have it stay in the headlines long enough to have anyone give you feedback. Very easy to add comments though. So

Well I am putting the finishing touches on a front end that allows extracting PDF text visually. It's also able to adjust when the PDF page size vary for a given document type. Once you build the extractor for a document type, it can r

I think there lies the misunderstanding: "Sure our code was small and simple, and theirs large and complex" Having a complex piece of code, maybe with a lot of 'historical cruft' and legacy 3rd party modules? Business po

So many generalizations in this paragraph. Not all programmers try to be heroes and cowboys throughout their whole careers. I am myself a programmer (25+ years doing it), and have known programmers my entire life. The distribution of certai

Ex-Game dev here: shipped many titles on console (AAA and some zzz titles). When comes time to shipping a game, the crunches, pressure and overall stress is through the roof. Most everything goes at that point: duct tape, hot glue, bobby pi

In the end where do you get your rocket fuel? It's either a) External validation from factors out of your control, or ... b) Internal self-motivation which you have 100% linked to your own volition. Waiting for some unicorn to land in

I have a similar programming background as the author, so this really resonates with my 'marketing' weaknesses. This post is simple, yet it really gives me simple steps to figure out how to get the 'marketing' aspect for

Very interesting, the steps for the algo are mentionned as: 1) Load an image. 2) Calculate energy of each pixel. 3) Find seams. 4) Remove seams. My question here is: once #4 has been completed how do you 'merge' the pixels that ar

Oh, the mod was observing a holiday (during which internet usage is usually not possible) and got 'fired' right beforehand. Ah, kinda like getting a 5PM meeting on a friday and getting fired ... classy.

Oh my, I also was about to propose Stripe to a local boxing gym myself. This gym is also a 'not for profit' company, of which I'm a volunteer (unpaid). Guess I'll scratch that plan!
