Same. And opening the page and seeing that it talks about myopia is a surprise

xiamx | 4 years ago | 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?

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

I think it would've been even more immersive if the screen was warped to cover the CRT

xiamx | 4 years ago | 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 | 4 years ago | on: Stop mocking your system

Yeah, a blog post like this is too casual and generalizes way too much

On appstore tweetbot does have a "for Twitter" suffix to its name though

xiamx | 5 years ago | 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 | 5 years ago | 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.

What's wrong with scraping a bunch of pages. As long as they are following robots.txt, it's no big deal.

So proofhub names itself the first in its list, sounds legit

why is this downvoted?

Precisely! I'd rather want to see the materials being presented with both theoretical and applied motivations.

Curious to know which algorithm and the sourcing of corpus you chose to train your system on.

On a similar note, here a curation of great sentiment analysis methods and implementations: https://github.com/xiamx/awesome-sentiment-analysis

xiamx | 9 years ago | 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 | 9 years ago | 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 | 9 years ago | 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 | 9 years ago | 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?
