tchadwick | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Has anyone moved to Canada?

I'm Canadian. I moved to LA for a bit and then moved back to my home in Saskatchewan. I took a bit of a pay cut to come back, but I work for an autonomous vehicle company now. I enjoy it much more than my job in LA. We're looking for a Deep Learning/Data Scientist right now ;) $70-150k CAD is what to expect for salary range.

It definitely is harder to find interesting companies in Canada, which is why I originally left. They do exist though! Most decently sized cities are actively building startup & tech communities.

tchadwick | 9 years ago | on: Building Code Posters with Elixir

I'm the creater of codeposters.io (https://codeposters.io). It's cool seeing everyone's take on this. I have a python script that consumes an image and text file of code and produces an output text file. Then I bring that output text into Illustrator and fine tune it.

The landing page looks really good! Including the pastry hat in the kit is awesome too. If I lived in the US, I'd probably get this as a gift for someone. Maybe targeting it to the parents of children/teenagers that like to bake would work out?

tchadwick | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: Codeposters – making code into art

It's assembly code from here: https://code.google.com/p/virtualagc/source/browse/?r=258#sv...

The posters start with the code from BURN_BABY_BURN--MASTER_IGNITION_ROUTINE.s

I concatenated a number of files together and removed new lines, and runs of certain characters (space, #, and * for example). I felt that runs of the same character distracted the eye too much to keep. Those NASA engineers liked to make huge blocks of # characters.

This is pretty funny. What kind of technology are you using to handle the texting? Would be cool if you're using something like wit.ai to do intent and sentiment analysis on responses you receive and respond accordingly.

tchadwick | 11 years ago | on: Some Problems Shouldn't Be Solved

I created an account on justin.tv a long time ago and my username was 'grapefuckingjelly'. For awhile I couldn't log in because of a new validation on the log in form for swear words (the validation eventually went away). These days, I constantly hit a screen when logging into twitch.tv to transfer my justin.tv account over. It never seems to work... probably due to some validation.

I tried logging into twitch last night and it kept telling me my username/password are invalid, so I think my account is inaccessible again.

tchadwick | 11 years ago | on: Most of Us Don’t Download Any Smartphone Apps at All

The article does surprise me. I assumed people were regularly (at least one a month) downloading new apps and trying them out... I guess I'm definitely in the minority. I like to explore the app store and see what's new. In any given day, I'll be using apps for facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat, product hunt, mail, safari, nest, hangouts, alien blue, and soundcloud. And when I find a new website that interests me, I usually check if there is a corresponding app.
