hammeiam··on Simple Bank Is Closing
YNAB is excellent. They have auto-importing, auto-categorization, geotagging transactions with the mobile app, and cool community-led addons (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/toolkit-for-ynab/l...)

hammeiam··on BlackRock Is Bailing Out Its ETFs with Fed Money and Taxpayers Eating Losses
Who is that author? He seems to be the "research director" of a student group (MMN) but does he have qualifications?
hammeiam··on Uber discusses plan to lay off about 20% of employees
Would you be surprised if AirBnb laid off 90%? Or Google? Or Amazon? It's already built, right, so why do they need so many people just to keep the lights on?
hammeiam··on ROCm (AMD) Now Upstreamed into TensorFlow
So does this mean that I no longer need an nvidia gpu for doing ML at home?
hammeiam··on Grace Hopper, computing pioneer (2014)
Terribly misleading post title - that is a quote by Grace Hopper about Ada Lovelace, not a quote about Grace Hopper herself. The title is "Grace Hopper, computing pioneer" and it's from 2014.

I was thinking the same thing :)
hammeiam··on New iPad Air and iPad Mini
What do you use for pdf annotation and citation management? I really like hosting my own data with zotero+webdav, but there basically is no interface. On the flip side, Mendeley has a ton of features, and works+looks great, but hosting is paid.
hammeiam··on Principal component analysis: pictures, code and proofs (2018)
Does anyone have an explanation of PCA that's more accessible to laypeople / the less mathematically inclined?

hammeiam··on Ahead of IPO, Airbnb achieves profitability for second year in a row
I would debate the phrasing of that answer. The value unit ($) is implicitly pluralized. Fully written out, that phrase would be "four point four billion dollars". The value unit is pluralized, but the numbers are not pluralized.
hammeiam··on Uber Proposals Value It at $120B in Possible 2019 IPO
What? TK was very vocally opposed to IPOing while he was CEO. Uber has publicly stated that it is targeting 2019 for an IPO, and in fact that was a condition as part of Softbank's recent investment. https://www.investopedia.com/news/uber-will-ipo-2019/

what's your experience been writing tests for async/await code?
hammeiam··on AI and Robotics in Agriculture in Japan [video]
Agreed. All of the examples shown were basically, "and then we put a camera on this drone, isn't that cool?" I was hoping for technology at the caliber of those LED greenhouses, or at least as good as that tensorflow cucumber sorter.

hammeiam··on React Tutorial: Cloning Yelp
I also got frustrated by the setup time for a simple react app, so I make a starter repo that I just clone for all my new projects. It's made to be as simple, light, and understandable as possible while still being useful. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions! https://github.com/hammeiam/react-webpack-starter

hammeiam··on Dsxyliea
Some quick thoughts on the code: http://pastebin.com/hYiB01RH

First, the isLetter function is both wrong and unused.

Second, messUpMessyPart is suboptimal. Rather than using a while loop to generate random numbers until a < b, why not do something like `var nums = [rand, rand].sort(); a = nums[0]; b = nums[1]`. There's still the case where a=b, but maybe you just run the function 2/10 times instead of 1/10 to compensate for that case.
