Another podcast player I quite enjoy discovering new shows is Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/ (though it can get a bit unstable at times…)

If someone wants a more interactive companion-book targeted more towards Python developers, check out "Probabilistic Programming & Bayesian Methods for Hackers": http://camdavidsonpilon.github.io/Probabilistic-

Yes, definitely. I started doing something similar (though much more narrow in scope) while I was freelancing in Austria: https://punkrockdev.com/accounting-austria Ideally, we would have crowd-sourced instructions and spre

A 15% cost reduction – not bad. Possibly interesting – I'm working on developing a similar battery - solar panel off-the-shelf system that would be suited for people who live in cities (e.g. if you want to put a solar panel on your bal

If you’re interested in this topic I really recommend The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams (the director of animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit): https://www.amazon.com/Animators-Survival-Kit-Richard-Willia... M

I hope to see more open source online journals like https://distill.pub/ in the future. With hosting being so cheap (basically free for anything remotely open source), I really don't see a need for private publishing c

A beautiful sentiment :) I believe this should apply to tech as well – it shouldn't be an exclusive field and building logical apps should be simple. That's kind of why I chose to brand my freelance business as Punk Rock Dev. htt

That would be great – it's always good to have some competition ;) Regarding feature requests I'd love to see a well-maintained B2 Django Storage. I'm currently using an existing implementation, but it's not that well ma

BTW, the Backblaze team themselves officially support a Python implementation of the API wrapper (the B2Api and Bucket classes): https://github.com/Backblaze/B2_Command_Line_Tool/blob/maste... As these are us

If you're looking for a good high-level abstraction, I really recommend the open source Plotly.js library: https://plot.ly/javascript/ (similar to HighCharts, but without the commercial license mumbo-jumbo) Yeah,

We maaaay have started talking about building an open events API on Reddit… :) https://www.reddit.com/r/MusicEventsHackers/comments/880nc3/...

It's a shame you decline any apps with monetisation ideas. I think it would be better to offer a paid API service a la Google APIs than to have so many engineers reinvent the wheel. Oh well, I guess the music industry and logical busin

Thanks, yeah I posted it to different music subreddits, so I thought I should try and make it eye-catching :)

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I work on https://twitter.com/posterbat (real site down momentarily – Facebook broke my scraper :/ )

Hey, I love this idea and am working on something similar (an alternative events discovery and promotion tool for cities). I see that a lot of you folks here are also working on similar stuff. How about we chat more about these topics? Inte

Yeah, just wanted to ask if you use an API to get events? I've been working on something in a similar direction for Vienna. Tried to get SongKick API access, but they declined me. I also used BandsInTown on a project, but it's a b

Awesome product – really looking forward to playing with this! Love the website copy too :). As I was scrolling through the endless list of cool features, the expected price tag in my head was just rising and when I got to the "Why is

Wonderful, thanks for sharing this! It's useful that the kernels people have submitted are there as well and that there is a HN-style upvoting mechanism. As an aside – I'm really curious to explore the datasets with "fake&quo

Wonder if JS notebook environments like this one, Observable and runkit.com will eventually all consolidate and (hopefully) integrate with Jupyter Notebook / Lab https://jupyter.org/

I guess it's still work in progress, but they are probably aiming to achieve something in the direction of the scientific Python stack (i.e. Jupyter, TensorFlow and the like). Maybe starting with a subset of methods useful in ML. It wi

I like the parallel between optical lens systems and deep learning. I'm also kind of disappointed by the "arcane lore" status hyper-parameters have in different ML domains. I think it would be healthier for the community to m

Nice article – gives a bit more background on Smith's ideas and why it's wrong to flag him as an absolute free market advocate. TL;DR – The invisible hand doesn't symbolise the problem of state intervention, but of state capt
