Quite a nice job on visualizations! This looks like all d3 or was there anything else you used?

Tesseract can be very accurate (>99%), especially when you train it for your particular data set. This does involve creating your own labeled data. I got this 99% accuracy by performing incremental training using latest Manheim model as

Building from free to paid is quite tricky. There must have been backlash when going from free to paid product. I assume the previous users were grandfathered in else those 5 stars would have turned into 1 stars rather quickly. Also your mo

I respect the iron fist of /r/askhistorians but it has the feel of being impossible to contribute. This is by design but horribly off putting even if you read all the rules. It feels way worse than wikipedia or Stack Overflow inne

For consumer notebook repairability the golden standard should be something similar to HP Elitebook 2560p from 2012. No screwdriver required!(with option to have a security screw) While removing battery you can press a latch to remove the b

Thank you! Chesterton's fence strikes again. There had to be a reason for this misfeature. Then the question is why would schools use Google classroom at all then if they have their own MIS/SIS. As I was teaching to adults I was p

Google is famous for half-assing and then abandoning promising projects. (insert comparison vs other tech companies). One example of a half forgotten project is something called Google Classrooms - for teachers and students. It is missing s

You could just write Actionscript . It was quite a pleasant and consistent experience compared to writing browser JS at the time(10+ years ago).

I have this irrational fear of 5G for some reason and I consider myself a rational person with a pro-technology bias. This fear stems from a combination of factors leading to unknown unknowns: 1. Little benefit for consumers with 4G (this i

Fantastic book from the sample chapters! Any plans to offering a printed version using one of the print-on-demand services(Leanpub etc)? I'd gladly pay the full $75 for such an offering. I plan on using the book for a practical Scala c

Wouldn't this be this just as feasible and elegant in JS, Python or Scala? Maybe not as short but short enough. Then again with Python I'd just fire up NumPy or ugh Pandas(which is basically NumPy with benefits) for this kind of t

This was a problem already a few years ago. I was working for mid-level corp writing a C# Windows program that would be used by a few hundred people tops. Even after going through the signing process, there were still false positives from s

Only reason it worked is because of public shaming (here on HN and elsewhere). If some less popular app is banned they have little recourse except hope for their story to go viral.

Blogs can be static. Netlify static hosting has a very low barrier of entry (just drop a folder if you don't have a git repo). You get a fast SSL enabled site. Adding your own domain is just going to your domain registrar as usual and

The problem with this idea is that increasingly company founders are opting for dual(or even triple) share structures by issuing massive amounts of non-voting stock to outsiders. It is all a game of musical chairs when you buy GOOG(not GOOG

That's the thing, I've been writing HTML for 25 years and JS for over 20. Lately I've been writing a lot of .md when writing Jupyter Notebooks. Thus I figured that Hugo would offer some advantages to relatives who wanted a de

Speaking of complex tooling you don't think Hugo is a bit complex itself? Took Hugo for a test drive using official quick start. Half the themes from official docs wouldn't compile. Started looking into architecture but official d

I fondly remember the free CDs in early Ubuntu days. Is it actually possible to buy an "official" USB/DVD of Ubuntu these days? When I say buy I mean most of money would go to support Canonical. There used to be such an optio

I remember using Matomo when it was Piwik and it was really easy to self host. I do not see hosted analytics as real competition to GA since you have the same privacy problems. Self-hosting should be the preferred option.
