xiamx··on Shortsightedness has become an epidemic
Same. And opening the page and seeing that it talks about myopia is a surprise
xiamx··on DaedalOS: Desktop Environment in the Browser
Reminds me of a (personal) website I saw long time ago that replicates an earlier day OSX desktop, with functional itunes player. Does anyone remember what it was called?
xiamx··on Avoiding bot detection: How to scrape the web without getting blocked?
Try your technique on a few of these fingerprint testing sites https://github.com/niespodd/browser-fingerprinting#fingerpri... I'm pretty sure it's quite detectible
xiamx··on Canyon.mid
I think it would've been even more immersive if the screen was warped to cover the CRT
xiamx··on Btop++ is a power resource monitor for Linux
It's the same person that wrote bpytop. He also wrote bashtop. 3 times implementation of the same thing. That's dedication!
xiamx··on Stop mocking your system
Yeah, a blog post like this is too casual and generalizes way too much
xiamx··on Signald: Unofficial daemon for interacting with Signal
On appstore tweetbot does have a "for Twitter" suffix to its name though
xiamx··on Timescale Cloud: Multi-cloud, fully-managed time-series in AWS, Azure, and GCP
That's a different story. Aws was competiting for revenue with the developers of MongoDB and Redis' for profit company. Postgres' publisher does not use managed service as a source of income.
xiamx··on Timescale Cloud: Multi-cloud, fully-managed time-series in AWS, Azure, and GCP
Why would they do that. These guys are generating revenue by offering managed service, not by selling opensource software.
xiamx··on "DigitalOcean Killed Our Company"
What's wrong with scraping a bunch of pages. As long as they are following robots.txt, it's no big deal.
xiamx··on Best Project Management Software and Tools for 2019
So proofhub names itself the first in its list, sounds legit
xiamx··on 14-year-old boy uses legal quirk to run for Vermont governor
why is this downvoted?

xiamx··on CSS Reminification: A crazy idea that worked
Great work! There are several directions where you can make your work more substantial. For once it would be interesting to see what's the marginal benefit of iterative minification over iterations (can be represented in a graph). Does Remynification approach an asymptotic size value, will further minification actually increase the size instead of decreasing? Also, it would be interesting to take screenshot using selenium as suggested by sbierwagen and see if Remynification actually preserves initial layout. Lastly, it would be interesting to see a theory proposed as why such method work, and what can future minifier learn from this.
xiamx··on A curated list of Sentiment Analysis methods, implementations and misc
Hi HN, repository author here.

I was interested in sentiment analysis, so I read a lot surveys, papers; and researched what implementations are available. I thought it would be beneficial for the community to have a list of useful resources, serving as a good starting point.

The goal of this repository is to provide adequate links for scholars who want to research in this domain; and at the same time, be sufficiently accessible for developers who want to integrate sentiment analysis into their applications.

Experts in sentiment analysis and opnion mining, please don't hesitate to criticize this work :)

xiamx··on Ask HN: How to switch from front-end to back-end
Given that you are familliar with Javascript already. You can pick up nodejs easily. Using nodejs for a while will give you an idea of what backend development's daily life look like.

Once you understand the common tasks that are involved in backend development, it will be easier to switch programming languages. Python is a good choice for example, it is very versatile and has been used to program various backend server. It is also being used extensively in scientific computing, machine learning and etc.

xiamx··on Show HN: Realtime Hacker News Summarization Using Machine Learning
Got that this is using nltk. Can you comment on which summarization algorithm you are using (TextRank, SumBasic and etc.) What's the motivation towards choosing one algorithm over another and how's its performance on average HN articles?
xiamx··on PureScript
Very interesting! For those who are more involved in this field, how does PureScript compare to other functional programming languages that also compiles to javascript?

xiamx··on How Quid uses deep learning with small data
Why do you not have a dev dataset? Gridsearch over your test dataset is bound to overfit
xiamx··on Am I wrong in hating React JS?
May be you should try it more than three times. Like you've experienced with ember and vim, the epiphany comes all of a sudden
