Hi. I use Jekyll and a Makefile that pushes the generated html to S3. I also needed to set up a cloudfront distribution instead of using a bare web-enable S3 bucket so I could use aws’s https certificate automation. Let me know if you need

Hi, author here. I can honestly say that I’m definitely not an expert. I tried to systematically write down questions on a text file and solve them one after the other. Solving one usually added a few other ones. “What chip is this?”, “how

I had a similar experience with python 3's asyncio. I have worked with gevent, which has an arguably less "elegant" interface (with monkey patching, for instance), but with which it is so much easier to be productive. I was f

Thanks for the insight. It's a relatively fragile negotiation, since we're just little guys who received an opportunity to do business with a big corp. As with the API, we implemented some integration with Salesforce and it was re

It seems like Zapier is some sort of task automation service, which works with SAP Anywhere™ (which _seems_ to be yet another product from SAP). I'll look further into it. Thanks!

Two years ago I took a trip to the Atacama desert. My luggage was lost in the flight and the hotel manager was nice enough to let me use their washing machine. I saw a few of the most beatiful natural landscapes I've ever seen down th

It's always great to see these notebooks from Peter Norvig. There's also some really interesting implementations (in several languages) of probabilistic algorithms on the website [0] of the book he co-wrote on artificial intellige

Nicely done! I wrote a small app to connect phone <-> computer and use it to control your mouse and keyboard. I've been having an extremely hard time getting users. It might be asking too much, but I would really love if you guys

I also started toying around with a stack-based language [0]. It's surprisingly fun! [0] https://github.com/rbaron/stacky

There's something really nice about these minimalistic C projects. You can quickly take a look at the source and immediatelly grasp what's happening. A simple and didactic introduction. Super cool.

Cool! These are the same guys behind CreateJS. Amazing work as well.

I suppose Bayes' theorem can help us estimate it: P(filesize is multiple of 8192 | crashed) = P(crashed | filesize is multiple of 8192) * P(filesize is multiple of 8192)/P(crashed) Where: - The likelihood of crashing given the fil

Huge egos and insults are things that have always bothered me in the OSS community. Just some days ago the Crockford vs. fat thread on github resurfaced and shocked a lot of people on HN [0]. It certainly has stopped from releasing stuff i

If you're interested in simulations in javascript, I wrote a small blog post and a toy project [0] about it. I would love some feedback! [0]: http://rbaron.net/blog/2014/01/02/Simulating-dynamic-syst

I might be wrong, but I think adding color information would not be _that_ hard. Basically you could filter each sensor cell for one of the RGB colors and just interpolate the results for each color channel. See https://en.wikipe

I suppose there is an optimal ratio. While I agree some people overuse it, I still find it unbelievably awesome the fact that we carry a device in our pocket capable of registering a moment so that we can remember it later or share with oth

I agree, but I think the value of such initiatives is the awereness it brings to the table _and_ the implications of that to manufacturers, that is, the fact that an increasing number of people may care for privacy. Your point certainly add

Absolutely. Being good takes a lot of time and dedication. Had my main goal been making money, I'd surely have hired an artist. Good thing is for us, programmers, games can be relatively easily reused with new art on top of it.

Thanks! Note taken. I'll try to add a few more colors to it as soon as I have some free time.

I tried the "learn by doing" approach to pixel art with my only android game so far. I honestly thought it would turn our worse than it actually did, but it's still _far_ from what an artist would give me. For reference, here

I absolutely adore this man. I was lucky to be given a portuguese-translated copy of "one hundred years of solitude" at the age of 16. I read it back then and loved the story itself and specially the beautiful writing style. About

It never fails to amaze me how powerful raytracing is. Last year I took an "Image Synthesis" class and did a quick presentation about a post I've seen here on HN about a raytracker in 1337 bytes [0]. It is amazing how such a
