RocketSyntax··on New Intel CEO rehiring retired CPU architects
Unless the go all in on something like neuromorphic or quantum
RocketSyntax··on New Intel CEO rehiring retired CPU architects
Err. shouldn't the real competitors be viewed as ARM and M1?
RocketSyntax··on Ask HN: What are my chances of finding a technical co-founder?
It's really going to be about what you bring to the table, and if your idea excites them. Why shouldn't they just execute on this without you?

What's stopping you from learning how to code over the course of 18 months and doing it yourself? No one will champion the building of your idea in the way that you would.

Learn to program. It changed my life. I majored in marketing. After I learned to code, I got a product job in big data genomics on national dna projects. Now I can build my own companies and am on the 2nd version of my prototype.

Otherwise, don't waste your time looking, just pay an outsourced dev shop.

RocketSyntax··on Ask HN: Is frugality underrated in startups?
yes. it can take 2-3 years longer than you think to get there, so make it stretch.
RocketSyntax··on Ask HN: How have your recent job application experiences been?
Boston is huge in life sciences. Every pharma, lots of biotech, and MIT. MIT's president is really pushing biological engineering.
RocketSyntax··on Why can't I write code inside my browser?
Try running a jupyter notebook in google colab
RocketSyntax··on Apply to YC on Your Schedule
It would be nice if you could just apply whenever. Like apply this year and go next fall. It's hard for 2+ people to get their lives in order to drop everything in a short window.
RocketSyntax··on Show HN: Array – A Better Python List
ndarrays "create a new array every time you apply"

That resonates with me now that you explain that I can't do it.

I do like chaining things in pandas like `df.select_types("float").head(100).plot.hist()`

RocketSyntax··on Show HN: Array – A Better Python List
Thank you for improving things and sharing.

I use numpy & pandas, lists & dicts every day. I read your docs/github page, but can you help me see the value?

However, I do think there are lots of common tasks that need to be done with lists that should be methods rather than fancy footwork =)

For example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3462143/get-difference-b...

As you allude to w your zip loop: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1919044/is-there-a-bette...

RocketSyntax··on Research team demonstrates world’s fastest optical neuromorphic processor
"10x the performance of TPU"
RocketSyntax··on Matomo: Open-source analytics platform
maybe website analytics is more appropriate? the word analytics is taking on a new meaning these days
RocketSyntax··on Ask HN: Please share your experience teaching your kids to program
Just make sure that is not all that you do together. Balance.
RocketSyntax··on Niex: Jupyter Notebooks but Using Elixir
just contribute to jupyter
RocketSyntax··on Anonymously call out the bad behavior of “ghosting” by recruiters
I had a recruiter schedule a time w me for the next day and then not show up plus not respond. Maybe they got fired? Doubtful.
RocketSyntax··on How AWS Added Apple Mac Mini Nodes to EC2
Hmm. Glad to see it happen, but expect better hardware. E.g. optimized for heat and such.
RocketSyntax··on Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus
It's extremely worrisome. The incentive to spend your early mornings, nights, and weekends building something awesome to free yourself from corporate life is fading away. They need to institute some kind of royalty program or at least dedicate engineers to helping maintain the projects they make into services.

Almost have to change gears and get into a scientific field that isn't computer science.

RocketSyntax··on Show HN: Devbook – Search Engine for Developers
it's a separate app? why not an IDE plugin? if i am going to switch apps away from my IDE then i am going to use a browser
RocketSyntax··on Ask HN: I am interviewing product managers – questions to ask?
how do you prioritize epics?
RocketSyntax··on AWS Proton
AWS needs to start naming things in a more self-explanatory manner. So many services.
RocketSyntax··on Tell HN: Levono won't process orders from ProtonMail addresses
Hmm. GitHub is not sending verification emails to my protonmail right now
RocketSyntax··on A ‘Jobs to be Done’ Framework for Startups
Reference pragmatic marketing framework: market problems.
RocketSyntax··on Screw the Mars hype. Here's why we should move to Venus
Yeah?

* Venus' avg temp: 880°F (471°C).

* Length of day in earth hours: 116d 18h 0m.

* Weather: storms of sulfuric acid clouds and a crushing atmosphere more than 90 times

RocketSyntax··on Cool Machine Learning Books
I also recommend Python Data Science - OReilly.
RocketSyntax··on Ask HN: Anyone making money with online courses?
Not exactly paygated, but you can do patreon and give people that pay $ the option to vote on the next content you produce?
RocketSyntax··on We are building a CLI first PaaS without a web frontend
Are infrastructure engineers likely to use a CLI?
RocketSyntax··on How to seriously read a scientific paper
1. Read the protocol in the back first if it exists. 2. Look at all of the charts, especially the subtext/ caption. 3. Highlight the actual paper for benefits of the method vs comparative methods.

Try to find meta-analysis to compare multiple methods.

RocketSyntax··on Strict APIs vs. Forgiving APIs
if it accepts a list of items [], but only a single string is provided "", accept it
RocketSyntax··on Ask HN: I have 3 weeks off, what should I build?
try some nodejs lambda jobs w a nosql db. pick a national park and go travel.
RocketSyntax··on Show HN: I built a Rotten Tomatoes-style platform for durable products
Why not put Amazon affiliate links on your page to purchase the item? Mad commission
RocketSyntax··on I built a lay-down desk
hmm. you could make it a lot simpler if you could slide the chair in on a track
