I know many people who are extremely productive doing CRUD apps using Django. I am not one of those people. They claim it is very fast development once you get past some comfort level. There is a bit of jump involved when it just clicks. I&

I remember using Actionscript to build some UI widgets for embedded devices and ... not hating it. The devices used proprietary level 7 protocol sitting on top of regular TCP/IP (could easily debug using netcat). Actionscript made it e

Patrick (patio11) had a dream of working in Japan and a belief in a rational just world. That dream and belief was shuttered when the reality of being an overworked gaijin for an uncaring zaibatsu settled in. His ticket out proved not to be

30 years later I still love K&R . Harbison & Steele is a fantastic reference. However, I could never get into SICP mostly because it was so... impractical and pure. Besides i'd had enough of RPN working on https://en

What's Ionic's real business model? They have enterprise support version but my gut feeling is that they make more money on the tooling.

The problem is that pure rationality leads into abyss. There might be a rational decision not to punch people directly into face but a purely rational psychopath can choose many other profitable avenues that are disastrous to society at lar

There really isn't a good one. For heuristics(non ML) based stuff you could try BoofCV which is written in Java, so for Python there is a wrapper https://pypi.org/project/PyBoof/ http://boofcv.org&

Adrian's site is fantastic resource for OpenCV with Python. I am not a huge fan of OpenCv itself though. OpenCV is riddled with gotchas(ie this algorithm does not run out of the box because someone has patented it/trying to paten

There are way too many red flags here(only playing superhumanly at the RFID games, in fact not playing elsewhere,etc). There are some similarities to chess cheating here. There were defenders to the infamous Borislav Ivanov too ( https:&#x2

The first edition of the book is fantastic! Aurelien's writing is clear and clean compared to most other books on ML.

Indeed. I do not understand why Siraj felt the need to delete licenses. Surely his students did not expect him to generate all the material himself out of thin blue air. Even someone like Peter Norvig has a github full of other people'

"Passionate about using engineering for a positive impact on the world." - well most of us think we are not the bad guy but the cognitive dissonance is strong here.

I am still amazed CSS Grid named areas are not used more often. To me the named areas are the first time that CSS layout makes sense and I first did layouts in tables in the late 90s.

I've been debating buying remarkable but wonder how reMarkable reading experience compares to Sony 13 inchers? My favorite e-ink e-reader(I own several from 5inches to 13inches) by far is the original Sony DPT-S1. It is so light for 13

I have a HP 4050N that I picked up at an 2008 financial crisis bank bankruptcy auction for 5 Euros. I've printed thousands of pages and am on the same cartridge that came with the printer. Amazing printer the way most HP devices were.

Besides fusion I think hibernation will also become a reality within this century. This will make the 22 year trip to Alpha Centauri more palatable. 1000 year trip in a single lifetime will require some life extension as well

The otherwise amazing Windows service ninite.com is still offering Python 2.7.16 and is not offering Python 3. There was a discussion on HN about this a few years ago, but I am curious to see what does ninite.com plan to do now?

I suppose I am in the minority but I thought it was a pretty good FizzBuzz challenge for DS. In fact I'd say it is a bit aggressive for a 60 minute challenge. Quite a bit of data wrangling is expected to complete modeling on all column

Bizarre decision. I've done my share of epub wrangling by hand (that is with Sigil). Epubs are basically zipped HTML. How hard would it have been to leave basic support? So now one has to "freeze" Edge to keep epub support. I

The problem isn't Google punishing actors they deem "bad". Many of the banned probably did something most of us (and they) deem "shady". The problem is Google's complete lack of transparency and super reliance
