pknerdon Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2021)

wow cool! I maintain a tech blog about topics around Python. How can I join?

pknerdon China breaching every article in genocide convention

Counties like US who themselves did and support killing of thousands of people including Muslims don't sound good talking about Muslims in China. It's more like a pissed of political reaction then worrying about a community.

pknerdon An Alternative to the Suez Canal?

A bit off topic, can we use deep learning/ML on map/sattelite/sea level data to find out the best alternatives?

Awesome. I have done a bit of Go and released a few toy libs but this book makes me to do Go again.

I also plan to write a book about scraping in python and your way of release is more logical for ppl like me.

Like the other guy I also got stuck at TOC. I will use your mind map technique.

Could you open source book releasing tools?

pknerdon Ask HN: Largest speedup you ever achieved by only changing a few lines of code?

The company I used to work with was a b2b portal. Their Chinese customers were having issue to submit form due to the firewall and was taking 22 seconds. What I simply did was sending close header from server which made client browser to shut the request and release. Behind the scene it was still taking same time but at least customer weren't waiting. It was kind of Ajax but using apache flags.

pknerdon Launch HN: MindsDB (YC W20) – Machine Learning Inside Your Database

I got to know about mindsdb when it was a university (Berkeley) project and Amie mailed me to try it out after finding out my blog posts. I was thrilled to know that it was kind of a black box system where one just feed data and system will pick model itself based on data. I found it interesting because I am not an ML guy and as a mere developer I wanted something that do some ML magic without going in depth. Glad to know project is evolved. I will try it again. Congrats!
