bootcat··on Ask HN: Is there a hackable Network Switch?
Thanks , great info !
bootcat··on Ask HN: How do you get better at coding?
I think the questions are too opinionated !
bootcat··on Is software development really a dead-end job after age 35-40?
A similar question i asked, got good responses. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14290025 . But i have the same question and thought too.
bootcat··on Ask HN: Best Time-Series Databases, open source and performant?
Have you tried Dalmatein and TsDB ?
bootcat··on Ask HN: What are best tools for web scraping?
I absolutely agree, and I am thinking strategies to even automate the capatcha, using crowdsourcing or better, using AI/ML ( which is not trivial ).

duckduckgo is good but not there yet.

Would you be interested to work on a search engine ? Some projects are bitfunnel and so forth.

bootcat··on Ask HN: What are best tools for web scraping?
One of the important avenues to scrape AJAX heavy and phantomjs avoiding websites is using the google chrome extension support. They can mirror the dom and send it to an external server for processing where we can use python lxml to xpath to appropriate nodes. This worked for me to scrape Google, before we hit the capatcha. If anyone is interested, i can share code i wrote to scrape websites !

If you can scrape findthecompany database ? I have done it successfully !!

bootcat··on Ask HN: Best way to get started with AI?

bootcat··on Ask HN: What is the best VoIP library/service to add calls to an app?
https://www.twilio.com/
bootcat··on The math and algorithms behind a search library
Certainly its worth taking a look at another javascript library which works for fuzzy search called, fuse, http://fusejs.io/.
bootcat··on Ask HN: Is my career doomed if I don’t become an AI/ML Developer?
I have the same questions, but to my surprise, there are more software engineer/senior software engineer jobs in bay area than data scientist/machine learning engineer, according to LinkedIN. This is the scenario now ! No idea hows its going to be in 3-5 years from now !!
bootcat··on LibHTTP: Open Source HTTP Library in C
Another library worth mentioning is https://github.com/h2o/h2o
bootcat··on The Book of Shaders
I think this project is similar to http://www.craftinginterpreters.com/
bootcat··on Why is PyPy for python not as popular in the community?
I think they should really make the project in sync with cpython. Because already they have a huge gain, for pythonic stuff.
bootcat··on The State of Data Science and Machine Learning
Really worthy insight. Especially for people like me, who wants to get a deeper understanding of the ecosystem before being an actual data scientist !
bootcat··on Show HN: US Stock Screener
Guys, I was thinking to do something like this, and you guys have already made it. Looks good. Will use and give you more updates !
bootcat··on Is the Universe Conscious?
Yoga and Hinduism have always been preaching this. The universe and for that matter, even a stone is a living entity. There is a higher cosmic intelligence and consciousness that is capable of taking macro/micro decisions.
bootcat··on Writing a Bootloader
Simple and nice article !!
bootcat··on MailChimp vs. Amazon SES – How I Reduced My Monthly Bill
godsend !!
bootcat··on The software engineering notebook
I think jotting down very important points we realized while developing is worth noting down. May be in a gitbook. But having an actual paper or notepad journal and noting down everyday things is too much data and we rarely, and i mean like very rarely look at that a second time !
bootcat··on SmallerC – Small, Simple, Self-Compiling, Single Pass C Compiler

yes, I am interested in them too. Usually the hype was for big data, then it moved to IOT, and now in AI. Seemingly seeing where it would go next !!
bootcat··on Microsoft gives up on Windows 10 Mobile
If Microsoft can't make things happen, I am not sure who can ! They have money, influence, power and user base with personal computers and cloud, and still they failed !

bootcat··on Unselfish People Are More Likely to Wind Up with Depression
Actually, that seems to be right from my limited experience. Also, my yoga guru says, being selfish is also good at times, because we are responsible for the life that we are first, and then comes other lives.
