vayarajesh··on Ask HN: How do you become productive in a new project as a senior developer?
Really great tip!
vayarajesh··on Ask HN: Best practices for log format?
Syslog has very detail key name sand namespacing (http://www.iana.org/assignments/syslog-parameters/syslog-par...) which can be filled in with application related data and this can be then parsed by any PaaS logging platform / OSS logging tool

I think syslog is a widely accepted log format and most of the tools which revolve around log metrics do support syslog and more so with parsing tools

vayarajesh··on Ask HN: Best practices for log format?
If you are micro-services based architecture, then it is very important to track and log a request through the multi-service calls and relate the logs.

Syslog with a common UUID set at the entry point (typically at proxy or load balancer level e.g. nginx) of the request and then logger will log the UUID as the part of UUID parameter of Syslog.

Syslog then can be parsed and also form JSON objects for the poeple in Ops and send it to a service. Basically you could have one more internal micro-service to handle logs from Syslog and then parse it and send it wherever Ops would need.

vayarajesh··on Mathematics for Computer Science [pdf]
I am familiar with Linear algebra and at most average understanding of graph theory. I know there is lot more math to cover for ML but I find it overwhelming to start
vayarajesh··on Mathematics for Computer Science [pdf]
Is this a good start for Math required for Machine Learning ?
vayarajesh··on Ask HN: What is the biggest untapped opportunity for startups?
I think the field of 'Agriculture' is untapped and can be / should be more advanced
vayarajesh··on An Email Thread Between a Developer and Gigster
I recently got accepted in to the Gigster network and I haven't received any new "gigs". They seem to have poor process for onboarding a newbie in terms of allocating projects. Most of the projects require people with Karma more than "350+" or "321+" - whatever that odd number means - (the default karma is 300). With more than 500 developers and designers in the network it is becoming more and more difficult for newbies to get any sort of project. Because the number of projects are not flooding in as the new members of developers

The probability keeps getting lower as new members join :|

Even if it is a Stunt, people are still getting help and that's what matters

vayarajesh··on Show HN: News from Reddit
how was the summary points done? is it through processing the text through ML or Reddit does provide with key summary points or some 3rd party service?

How accurate is the summary points?

vayarajesh··on Chrome browser for businesses
Oh, I never knew about this.
vayarajesh··on Chrome browser for businesses
so much better for the web application world. Most of the support tickets / issues are mostly related to the browser they are using. This is one step closer to removing IE.\
vayarajesh··on Tesla footage of braking before crash ahead [video]
I have seen plenty of 3 car accidents and the last car involved in the accident is purely because it could not brake on time and the first 2 cars involved in the accident are due to human stupidity.

I live in Dubai and it is a mix of many cultures and people drive like crazy here, I have seen a single accident involving 6 cars because most of the rash drivers will drive tail-gating

At least Dubai really needs lot of Tesla cars to avoid such accidents which are very common here

vayarajesh··on Tesla footage of braking before crash ahead [video]
Also sudden hard brakes can cause injuries as well when the seat belt it tighten suddenly, but the software based braking will brake more accurately than a human, as you said in a timely manner.
vayarajesh··on Show HN: Angular 2 HN – A progressive Hacker News client that works offline
Super!
vayarajesh··on Show HN: Angular 2 HN – A progressive Hacker News client that works offline
oh the blog post would be perfect!, I will go through it. I will try to create a twitter client to get familiar with angular cli and angular 2 in general. Thanks :)

Btw, I like the way blog UI and its simplicity and code-display friendly-ness, what tool/app you use for the blog? (if you don't mind sharing the details)

vayarajesh··on Show HN: Angular 2 HN – A progressive Hacker News client that works offline
Cool, I was just getting started with Angular 2 and Typescript (coming from Angular 1) and I think your example is just the perfect way to understand how an app is to be made with it :)

How is angular-cli different from angular's quick start or a seed project setup ?

vayarajesh··on Ask HN: Should I learn Bootstrap 3 or 4 at this moment?
I started using bootstrap from Bootstrap 1 and it was not difficult to start using 2 or 3 - the basic conceptual framework remains almost the same and most of the implementation anyway requires the Bootstrap documentation open on the side for reference.

However, I would recommend to move away from Bootstrap to Material design for example, I feel (after using both) Material design is more well though framework and it also has bindings with Angular (that is if you are building angular apps) through [angular-material](https://material.angularjs.org/latest/). There is also standalone framework [getmdl.io](https://getmdl.io/started)

Then there is a very detail documentation on how to think like [Material design](https://material.google.com/) way by Google . Checkout the components section from the menu, it is really nice they way explain the theory behind why each component the way it is

vayarajesh··on Ask HN: What do you want to learn in 2017?
@solipsism, I did try out the TensorFlow playground and they use lot of mathematical terms which I don't understand yet. Al though I like the idea of diving in and then learning the concepts which I come across to accomplish NLP or Facial Recognition. Thanks.
vayarajesh··on Ask HN: What do you want to learn in 2017?
I am just starting with Calculus. Currently I am only comfortable with linear algebra - rest all I am just starting to learn.

Do you recommend any good books or resources?

vayarajesh··on Ask HN: What do you want to learn in 2017?
I have been reading alot about Machine Learning and I want to get into the practical application of it. So I will begin with learning Mathematics and then some Machine learning code for training a basic model for NLP or Facial Recognition :)

Any suggestions on how to go about learning Mathematics requires for Machine Learning is more than welcome

vayarajesh··on Bootstrap 4 drops IE9 support and goes full flexbox
I feel I have gotten too used to Material design and I hardly ever use bootstrap. Do anyone of you feel the same?

What are the advantages of Bootstrap over Material Design?

vayarajesh··on Ask HN: Things programmers should get rid of in 2017
Over-architecting the software. Sometimes a simple problem can be solved with simple scripts.
vayarajesh··on What are good resources/links for developing a Sales CRM?
SuiteCRM is a good place to start. It is opensource and based on top of SugarCRM with lot more useful features. With 4 years of experience in working with SuiteCRM and SugarCRM i would really prefer SuiteCRM, even when it comes to adding custom business logic and workflow design.

It also comes with good REST API for all the modules and any custom module you create using the module builder.

The community modules are really good too and https://www.sugaroutfitters.com makes some nice paid modules which are useful too.

vayarajesh··on Who Lives with Their Parents?
Yes, it is very common to live as a big family together in the same house. Infact it might be considered rare where children do not live with their parents and siblings.

It is a part of a culture than anything else. I think many Asian countries have similar culture. I am from India but live in Dubai and even in middle eastern cultures it is not uncommon to live with parents and other relatives in the same house as a big family.

vayarajesh··on Ask HN: What projects are you currently working on?
I'm making a widget engine using angular material https://github.com/rajeshvaya/angular-material-widget-engine
vayarajesh··on Ask HN: Recent positive experience with OVH?
Very bad, we were hosted on OVH for a year and it was troublesome - their documentations do not match with the feature set. DDoS protection is weak and they do not provide interface to configure firewall rules or anything like that.

We shifted to Google cloud and feel satisfied with Google.

vayarajesh··on Ask HN: What's your favorite tech talk?
I had a good laugh watching the Javascript video :)
