p51ngh··on Ask HN: 87yr old yoga teacher asked me to manage her website. Where to start?
Maybe don’t have any of those if you can’t afford?
p51ngh··on What has a 1 in a million chance? (2010)
Do you mean, after picking a million numbers, then every number in the range should have been picked exactly once?
p51ngh··on Show HN: Xmljson a Swift CLI Tool to Convert XML to JSON
For your sample code Python xmltodict gives:

  {
    "bookstore": {
      "book": [
        {
          "@category": "cooking",
          "title": {
            "@lang": "en",
            "#text": "Everyday 1"
          },
          "author": "Giada De Laurentiis",
          "year": "2005",
          "price": "30.00"
        },
        {
          "@category": "web",
          "title": {
            "@lang": "en",
            "#text": "Learning XML"
          },
          "author": "Erik T. Ray",
          "year": "2003",
          "price": "39.95"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
Your code gives:

  [
    {
      "author" : "Giada De Laurentiis",
      "title" : {
        "lang" : "en",
        "text" : "Everyday 1"
      },
      "year" : "2005",
      "category" : "cooking",
      "price" : "30.00"
    },
    {
      "author" : "Erik T. Ray",
      "title" : {
        "lang" : "en",
        "text" : "Learning XML"
      },
      "year" : "2003",
      "category" : "web",
      "price" : "39.95"
    }
  ]

p51ngh··on Ask HN: What technologies did you learn in 2018?
Typescript and reactjs. Finally web development feels like real software development.
p51ngh··on Annotated Underscore.js Source Code – Good for Budding JavaScript Developers
How did you go about creating this? I think it's super useful way of documenting code in general!
p51ngh··on New kind of recurrent neural network using attention
I don't follow the intuition behind using an exponentiation of a as in e^a. You refer to this as a "context model" in your paper. Could you please elaborate? Thanks!
p51ngh··on Comments Wanted: An Overview of “Full Stack Development”
The problem I find with most web development tutorials is that they either jump immediately into frameworks, or they approach the process with artificial examples of creating web pages with absolutely no coverage of the actual problem being solved.

What is lacking is a good single resource covering:

1. How the internet works 2. How web browsers work 3. What communication protocols come into play 4. Coverage of the OSI model in terms of web developemtn 5. Typical front-end and back-end architectures and how they interact 6. What problem frameworks are trying to solve and how they do so 7. How to go about choosing a framework if at all

...and so on

Really a bare-bones example of how to get a website up and running without all the fancy JS and frameworks guff is the sort of thing a beginner would like to see. I want to understand in detail what actually happens when I type a website in my browser until the entire thing is loaded.

p51ngh··on Comments Wanted: An Overview of “Full Stack Development”
I'm a C++ guy with minimal knowledge about web development. For me this is enlightening. I like details on how things work "under the hood".

Please develop it further and also provide information about how the front-end interacts with the back-end at different abstraction levels with lots of diagrams and details.

I also think going below the OS level is perhaps outside the common understanding of what full-stack development is. Enlightening nonetheless.
