Video is not available.
penetrarthur··on Ask HN: I am building a step-by-step equation solver to learn how math works
Please explain either with text or voice what is happening in that video. It is hard to follow.
penetrarthur··on Ask HN: What did your 'Show HN' project turn into?
Sorry, voices are a bit too terrible
penetrarthur··on Ask HN: What did your 'Show HN' project turn into?
Based on screenshots, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
penetrarthur··on Ask HN: Examples of reliable software you enjoy using
Stuff I use daily: - extremely quick copy pasting and moving between two folders - filter by extension - dir bookmarks - extremely quick compressing - easy and simple enough file diffs - command line from every folder - fast navigation using smart search of file in current dir - pretty good search within folder - viewer for text files(useful when need to read the last couple of lines from 10GB log file)

It is somewhat more/easier configurable than mc or FAR. I know you can get dozens of plugins for all these actions but totalcmd has the right amount of stuff I need and is not bloated. Been using it for almost 15 years.

penetrarthur··on Volkswagen's U.S. diesel emissions settlement to cost $15B
In my opinion it is going to grow from now on, until it gets back to normal. A large part of the world is driving cars made by VW Group. Too big to fail.

Why?
penetrarthur··on Learning to learn by gradient descent by gradient descent
When I just finished Andrew Ng ML course and had to solve a real life problem, this was actually the first thing that came into my mind. Too bad I couldn't formulate the problem then(still can't) and that was basically the end of my ML career.
penetrarthur··on Ask HN: Do you have a profitable side project? How long did it take to achieve?
Go on...
penetrarthur··on Ask HN: Oldest code you have written that is still in use?
We had a guy who wrote the other 14900 loc in a similar situation and made the whole thing really crappy. He used to say we cannot blame him because he inherited the crappy 100 loc in the first place.
penetrarthur··on Python 3 comes to Scrapy
Not related to Scrapy, but what are some things you scrape the web for?

penetrarthur··on Telegram Now Seeing 12B Daily Messages, Up from 1B in February
Sharing media is very easy, especially multiple pics.
penetrarthur··on A “Hello World” Server in Prolog
I like how posts about Prolog get populular very fast, but have little to no comments. People have heard that this language is special but have never actually used it in production, so they hope that someone will shed the light on it. Unfortunatelly it usually ends with a copypasted list of 15 projects(including Watson) where Prolog is used and thats it. Maybe someone can share his/her production level experience with it this time...
penetrarthur··on Porsche is showing off an electric sports car
It is not an embarrassment. The more companies start producing electric cars the better.
penetrarthur··on Unity Comes to Linux: Experimental Build Now Available
But the news say that this is Unity3d editor - program you make games in, not the game.
penetrarthur··on What was the technology stack driving the original Ultima Online servers?
No gaming experience has ever been as involving as the good old UO. And I also started my programming by coding automation scripts for one of at that time popular and mostly prohibited playing assist programs called "UO Inject". No other motivation keeps you as engaged in programming as writing scripts that automatically cut the trees for you while you sleep!

penetrarthur··on Ask HN: Review my startup, www.inair.tv
The voice on the video is slightly depressing.
penetrarthur··on Get away with Google Flights
I would love GF to have a feature where you select a departure airport and arrival airport and dates, and make GF find me where to go in between. Like a search with multiple cities but so that you decide the departure city of the first flight and the arrival city of the second flight.
penetrarthur··on Get away with Google Flights
Was it updated? I spent my whole evening yesterday planning the trip.
penetrarthur··on Ask HN: What do you think of my android app?
