So, this apparently generated no interest on HN? :) I respect the company's drive to adapt to new trends with it's portfolio but... the chip market? To quote Bloomberg from here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news&#x2F

This is there just to remind us how boring our generation is. We used to actually tried to convince people to send mail by shooting it in rockets, send a man to the moon in a glorified can and fly around the world in zeppelins. Compared to

I have the feeling that the answers below are going away from what the OP was trying to find out. It's not about going vegan, starting a garden or using condoms. If a person is already exhausted personal efforts (to the extent one can

Assuming you're ironic - do you really think Radiohead needs elaborate ruse to release their junk tapes? I had the feeling they're doing fine in their own trippy world. (RH fan, btw)

Downvotes be damned, but after listening to the actual Eyeo talk, I'm surprised how much fluff (Jenny's work) can be added to a good statement (Gilles Deleuze's statement). Art is supposed to be a consideration on human senti

My logic is in reverse - I look at the list of books to judge whether the person is someone I want to know more about (also irl). So, the short explanations of why the books are interesting is your introduction to yourself, your overlap (bo

Anyone else has the feeling that Shane Parrish is just a classier version of Tim Ferriss? Can't shake the "let me sell you tricks" approach.

HAM radio locator grid does pretty much the same thing, with I would say roughly the same precision. example: http://k7fry.com/grid/?qth=JN17EB67UN I only knew of the 6-character location code, which is typically used

Finished my masters and working my first software eng job at a mid-sized company. Had loads of money (relative to my needs back then), bought my first car, I decided that it was too boring and wanted to challenge myself. Enrolled in a PhD p

It's a "she". But I agree. The article reads as "these guys seem desperate, let me kick them one more time, it's for their own good". It's one thing to be driven by facts, calling out bad things when you s

So - no effort is better than some effort? That's pretty dark, and if we're given a control of at least 20% of the holes, I would say - use that control.

I can relate to that. I would go as far as hate, but definitely disappointed. As an PhD in CS I've seen my share of pressure and I agree completely that it's just not a way to do meaningful research as much as it's mass produ

I don't think it's for actual gaming. Think more in the direction of simple way to expand any web-app with QR-code interactions.

It just looks like an elaborate way to market FusionTables. But it's a popular move for everybody these days, and even a couple of MOOC's have been used to spread the word about some professors pet-project/platform. But putti

R, Pandas (python) and alike will do a good job IMHO. I've been working with Matlab before (not really statistics, but more general), and now R is really delightful with visualizations and quick analysis. If you're looking for a r

So, chilitags runs on JS now? Nice.

by code_scrapping 13y ago
I still view JS as a UI-oriented language, and I really don't know why would you want to implement processor-heavy algorithms in a browser environment, which need a lot of data and don't use the networking. I would still stick to

Tell you what - I'll get back to the topic & blog in 1 year time. I'll chat you up on HN and we'll redo the discussion. I'm willing to admit my mistake, but if they jakub ends this project in a-la-tim-ferris "bo

But that's bad, right? It's like you're making the "Landing on the moon" documentary in the 1920. People don't want to hear about 40 years of mistakes, they want to hear about the end conclusions and you won&#x

I always feel stupid after clicking on a link like this and finding somebody's self-advertisement. It's like one of those "Click here for the best instruction on how to loose weight", but for developers.

Don't take this the wrong way - nobody means any disrespect your work, but I'm skeptical (to say the least) about this being a sustainable tempo of work. So, if you are pulling it off, can you give a comment on how long have you b

Riding the wave of general paranoia like a boss. But, a bit too late?

They're not really directly comparable. Python is an general purpose programming language, R is a statistical processing tool. You could compare R to Matlab, or R to python library with similar scope (numpy or pandas).

It seems like an interesting experiment, but I disagree with the conclusions of "I was getting better, I was happy". This is not sustainable and by all psychological/physical measurements this should be very bad for the perso

The topic is fun (if not terribly useful), but the rest of the blog is full of brain-teasers. I'm really enjoying the read.

If we put aside the ego-bashing and dick-measuring, the good side of hyping-out a technology would be to find it's limitations. So, the articles will slowly turn from "why X is great" to "I don't want to move to X b

Misinterpreted knowledge could be more harmful then ignorance (as any hypochondriac would know), but that's not the case here - I'm really looking forward to trying to build something like this. It's nice to see DIY moving fr

It's fun but terribly difficult to read and understand. I hope he provides the "traditional" version as well for the people who just want the information and not the whole shabang.
