Considering you don't seem to have a new account:

I get that you're trying to be helpful. But the way you say things come through as being dismissive about other people's work. They just put in a bunch of work into it; they seem very open to getting feedback and working on it. I'm curious what you're trying to prove by calling it "crappy"?

I'm curious if you're aware that "Show HN" in the title is someone with the community a new thing they've built.

A friend of mine created a page to show code snippets and comparisons between a few of the plotting libraries available in Python (and R) -- http://pythonplot.com/

Link to the deck by Joel Grus' talk that is mentioned in the article: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n2RlMdmv1p25Xy5thJUh...

Automating book renewals back when I was in grad school. :shrug:

The Data & Analytics team is looking for Senior Data Engineers. You'd have to be in New York or be willing to relocate (DO provides relocation). Feel free to shoot me an email if you're interested. You can find the email in my profile.

We're always looking for engineers and product folks. Check out our careers page: https://www.digitalocean.com/company/careers/

Worth mentioning here, the text summarization engines are pretty much only usable on news articles or text with clean paragraph structure (yes, non-tech literature works too). Popular text summarization tools as they stand now, fails on anything else.

Any chance she'd be kind enough to provide some book recommendations?

Hey HN! We'd like to welcome you to DataTau!

If you're a data scientist or an ML enthusiast, please do engage/start discussions over in DataTau. That'd be splendid!

We've been trying to keep posts there pretty technical there and the community loves it so far. Think of DataTau as a place where you go to learn/share things you've learned from getting your hands dirty with data/Machine Learning/statistics/science!

I run DataTau. It's just rediscovery that probably motivated the post.

Changes are in the pipeline. I was waiting to roll them out before posting here.

Seems to be a gateway to access /foobar

Nice! I made something similar except it was more about how people are influenced by ideas of people around them and less about violence. link: http://goo.gl/H0Wqxo

I love workflowy, but it's definitely not a "small" web app.

If there was a filter for "Available to stream on Netflix", I'd be all over this.

Pretty cool! I did something similar when I was learning javascript. I built GoL for a three-state system. Here's the bl.ocks.org link : http://goo.gl/H0Wqxo

Interesting. I extended the Game of Life to three states instead of the usual two states when I was learning javascript. Just a fun little hack.

I would think it's fair assumption that a significant percentage of those users are being counted multiple times if they have duplicate accounts.

EDIT: I don't see how the above statement beckons downvotes. Yes. It was an assumption, but not absurd one at that. Here's one such article that talks about fake accounts -- http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/02/tech/social-media/facebook-fak...

EDIT2: Last year Facebook said 4.8% of their MAU was duplicate, misclassified, or spam accounts. That's 51+ million today assuming the percentage has remained constant.

I can confirm. That query took about 2 seconds. More discussion here: http://www.datatau.com/item?id=3608

Have you looked into http://www.datatau.com/ ? It's a user-curated list for topics related to data science.

Disclaimer: I started DataTau.

Going to take this down later this week. My free micro-instance-on-AWS period is over. I get a constant drive of traffic from reddit. Could've thrown in ads, but I really din't want to keep it going. It's kinda stupid, but kinda cool?

>I think the way to "solve" the problem of procrastination is to let delight pull you instead of making a to-do list push you. Work on an ambitious project you really enjoy, and sail as close to the wind as you can, and you'll leave the right things undone.

Hey! Checkout www.datatau.com

It's like Hacker News but for Data Scientists. This question might be more relevant there.

Yes! I will add that soon. Thanks.

Thanks Terrik!

It was born only this noon (Eastern Time).

Thanks! I wanted to wait before I posted it on Hacker News, but sooner the better I guess.

Hi Karan. I am the person hosting DataTau. I completely understand what you're saying.

First, news.arc's style is something that people are used to and comfortable with; it's tried and tested. I decided not to reinvent the wheel.

But perhaps more importantly, I'm not a web developer. If I have to learn how to build a news site from scratch, I might as well wait and see if there is a requirement for it in the first place, right?

It's down! I think this hit Imgur's API limit.

It was my first ever app. This was more fun than I thought! Thanks HN!

You're absolutely right. I'll get rid of that next time the page goes down.

And Thanks!

Thanks! Not yet, it was my first time with Ruby and I hacked something in one night. Will clean it up and make the repo public.
