GitHub doesn't allow a user to follow an organization. As a result, users don't get to see the activity done by that particular organization.

I have tried creating a small solution (refer to the link) for the same, and it uses GitHub as a distribution channel.

- You need to create an issue (in the linked repository) with the link to that organization.

- If a new repository is created, the thread will be updated (every 12 hours) with the link to the new repository.

- Check the list of issues if the organization is already subscribed or not.

I write about explorable explanations from a software engineering perspective, going after a particular problem and explaining it using either data or a solution.

For example, my recent article was about solving Google AI's game Semantris using Computer Vision. https://hackpravj.com/blog/solving-semantris-opencv-word2vec...

This year I've decided to write about my learnings in products. I've my first topic in making, will try to publish it as soon as I get time.

Feel the same way about my contribution to the Go language. :)

Related to that, currently reading the book "DRAGONFLY: NASA AND THE CRISIS ABOVE MIR", there was a fire event at the station and Russian space personals circulated in the media that it was just a 10-second fire.

Wasn't aware of the mentioned "webview" wrapper[1], considering to use it for a side project.

Reminds me of the time I created an improved version of the "8-puzzle"[1] game in Go to learn about "channels" and "goroutines". Especially, the use of "select" statement for listening on multiple channels for the main event loop.

Didn't know that the compiler itself isn't using the same packages after going in a bootstrapped fashion.

Using the existing packages is a great approach as I think that Go standard library has one of the best packages supported for AST/lexing/parsing family, in comparison to Python and Ruby. Haven't worked with Rust.

Pro: You get to build things from scratch, I like this one most.

Con: You find yourself at the end of the work-life balance, which might not be comfortable for everyone.

It's a great initiative, today itself I was thinking if there can a common test to get a job, but then I realized companies do not just test the engineering or field knowledge.

PS: I thought refreshing the page will show an early day picture of dropbox/reddit/stripe/instacart and so on.

Neat and clean. Bookmarked, will give a try next time I write markdown for GitHub.

You are correct about the incompatible markdown styles on the Internet.

Asked it after noticing the second method on a website in India.

Interesting! Indian ride-hailing giant "Ola" bought "Foodpanda" (food delivery startup) a few months back. A variant of food/snack service in the cab might be a hit in Indian metros like Bangalore and Mumbai where people are always late to the office because of traffic.

Wasn't looking for web-based solutions but this one looks great. Better than Slate and README.io on some parameters.

Happens to me every time.

My last side project was a data-driven sport (Cricket) analytics blog (https://hackpravj.com/blog/inside-cricket). Worked on it for 8 months (every Sunday), now when it's done I don't like the way I wrapped it up.

People appreciated it, I learned multiple new things but it didn't go as per the dream (the initial motivation that helped me start it).

If you read the comments on this blog, it's interesting to see youtubers asking for subscribers in return, "sub for sub".

I won't wonder if we see a solution soon to provide fraudulent subscribers like Instagram/Twitter ecosystem has. (not sure if it exists)

And then I will wait for Google to fight the subscriber (vote) ring pattern.

Your task would be to protect the realm of the company by conjuring spells powered by Random forests, ANNs and SVMs. You shall be bestowed upon with the responsibility of protecting the holy septum (read: the ML engine) of the firm against unprecedented overfitting and treacherous trade-offs.

  - You will be a critical member of an engineering team working on architecting, developing and augmenting cutting edge AI Platform

  - Ensure that the AI layer is super scalable, fault tolerant and well documented

  - Taking ownership of NLP Problems, exploring existing research/solutions and running experiments by tweaking solutions to get the best results

  - Help improve code quality through writing unit tests, automation and performing code reviews

  - Customise and train existing AI algorithms and models in a given context

React out to us at hello@vernacular.ai if you're interested. You can drop me a line at pravj@vernacular.ai with HN in the subject.

I am loving this book so far, always wanted a resource with such details and a 1:1 session like feeling.

Also, to enforce an extra layer of learning, I am writing the interpreter in Go. (book uses Java and C)

    https://github.com/pravj/glox

The "satisfactory" part is, I've started applying the learning to other problems (writing a transpiler, completely different from the book's context), despite being in the middle of the book.

OK, that's cool.

But, instead of using some space for the same blob, I would have considered adding a NUMBER to convey the same.

On that note, this can go upto N (a large number).

Looks amazing, the interface is slick too.

By the way, I was able to add a same movie to my 'like list' twice. (Snapshot [1])

I started building this to learn React and Flux.

For now, it's in "Alpha" stage, you can upload a "csv" file and select the "datestamp" column and the "y" column (with numeric values) you want to predict and it will generate interactive charts in browser.

Please let me know if you have any feature requirements or issue.

Awesome. I made a CLI tool (lisense)[1] to add licenses to repositories when you are developing them.

[1] https://github.com/pravj/lisense

I'm working on an open source "interactive time series forecasting app"[0] powered by Prophet[1] and Plotly[2].

I aim to make it a fully featured front-end to the Prophet forecasting tool released by Facebook's Data Science group.

I loved Prophet at first sight and thought it can be a goto solution to the problem, so I have decided to use Plotly's interactive charting and React's declarative programming for the performance.

It's still in the development phase for now, my next task is to enable installation through NPM or PIP.

Backend Engineer. Would love to work with Distributed Systems or Data Engineering.

The URL for 'Data Science Engineer' is wrong, giving a 404. It should be https://unata.com/careers/data-science-engineer/

Yeah, agree with you.

Although it was not that I stole some secret key or something.

It was just that there was data in public, and I used it for good.

I was interested in working with the Data Science team of one of India's leading e-commerce startups.

Later, I ended up doing a project[1] where I have collected and analysed the user order data from their order tracking portal.

Now I feel that they won't take me back because I kind of played like a Black-Hat instead of a White-Hat by not notifying them about the little loophole that made it possible for me.

Before this, I was an intern there and got that because of one of my past project. This method does work.
