kevindeasis··on Ask HN: How to get started with machine learning?
Brilliant!

Thanks for the link

kevindeasis··on Ask HN: How to get started with machine learning?
I don't know anything about tensor flow except the very tip of the iceberg.

Can you know nothing about ml, ai, data analysis, and stats then give tensor flow some input and it will give you some input and pretty much apply it to your app?

Or do you have to know these subjects before even starting tensor flow?

kevindeasis··on Ask HN: Good books or articles on UI design?
Shameless self post about a repo I've made about UI resources

https://github.com/kevindeasis/awesome-ui

I'll be adding more content in the last week of October and fixing the repo so it'll be easier to navigate

kevindeasis··on RethinkDB is shutting down
Ive been teaching my siblings programming. It took them literally a day to learn rethinkDB.

That should say a lot about how amazing RethinkDB is. It's unfortunate to see this get shut down as RethinkDB is pretty easy to work with

kevindeasis··on Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker
Question: How do companies that rely on ads plan to make money in the future?
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: In what areas are NoSQL Databases beneficial over Relational Databases?
Nested data structure.

I'd recommend other NoSql databases over MongoDB like RethinkDB.

Also, SQL like databases support JSON. So Postgres and MySql 5.7.x I think supports it.

The only think I don't like about sql is that I have to know what my data looks like in advance. Set up is a pain

kevindeasis··on Ask HN: Where do you go for learning about health and well-being?
One of the most important things ive leatned is do one thing one small step at a time.

You want all of these to be a habit. It's a journey.

kevindeasis··on Fighting Cancer
Wow, now that is pretty artistic
kevindeasis··on PACELC theorem for distributed databases – improves on CAP theorem
I'm pretty sure rethinkDB fans and datastore fans would love to have their database included in that list ;)
kevindeasis··on Japanese writing system basics
How many symbols are there? And how would the keyboard look like though?
kevindeasis··on All of Google's cloud database services are now out of beta
This is awesome. I hope they start releasing features about geoqueries for datastore.
kevindeasis··on The world’s most liveable cities
Since the main audience in HN are techies. I think if we put tech jobs and startups as part of the equation, those rankings will change dramatically.
kevindeasis··on Grokking Deep Learning
I don't usually buy programming books. But when I do it's usually with manning. I think this will be the first time I will actually learn about deep learning. Anyone got one of those 50% off coupons?
kevindeasis··on A 12-year-old is off to the Ivy League
People usually hear about child geniuses when they enter post secondary at an early age and less than a decade later when they finish their PhD. Sometimes you don't hear about them because the media isn't interested in their field of study
kevindeasis··on Google Duo, a simple 1-to-1 video calling app
Man this and allo looks really interesting. I really can't wait for it to come out in Canada. I definitely wanna know how these product managers/owners or product feature creators are doing it in Google.
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: What hobbies do you have outside tech, and how do you start learning it?
Have you started playing in open mics?
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: What hobbies do you have outside tech, and how do you start learning it?
How long from when you've started led you to become part of the motorcycle community in your local area?
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: Which professions are impossible to get because the oldies never retire?
roughly 20% of my friends are going into law. Some of them haven't really looked at the job outlook/ market
kevindeasis··on ShiftJS – Swift to JavaScript transpiler
Are there other ways to use other languages in the browser asides from transpiler, and asm?
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: What hobbies do you have outside tech, and how do you start learning it?
Interesting, I've always thought about it. How much did it cost you to get started?
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: How to get out of Tech and still make a decent living?
I've been looking for someone with this perspective. Do you think it is just AI and ML? Do you feel the same way about data scientists, data analyst (not actuary,statisticians,mathematicians, etc)?

What other domains do you recommend instead?

kevindeasis··on Ask HN: How to get out of Tech and still make a decent living?
Including the business outside the campus are around 100k-5million after rent. I have not seen any landlord doing what you've mentioned.
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: How to get out of Tech and still make a decent living?
I can't believe no one has mentioned opening up a retail, foodchain (not a restaurant), coffeeshop or franchising. If you open one of these in a good location you can make really really good coin. It's crazy how much money coffee shops in my campus makes. There are more than 20 coffee shops in a 1km radius and they are all making insane profits for a medium size campus.
kevindeasis··on Now is a really good time to buy a helicopter
Our of curiosity how do you find a good aviation mechanic?
kevindeasis··on Machine Learning and Ketosis
Doesn't it depend on what type of sport you play? If you're doing marathons wouldn't ketosis work? and if you're doing high intensity, and short bursts ketosis might not be the best choice?
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: What keeps you from exercising?
I used to do olympic weightlifting, and compete in amateur boxing, brazilian jiu-jitsu.

I used to be hardcore at watching my diet and working out. Just because I like to compete. Also the dating scene was more forgiving when your athletic.

But I stopped doing all of that during my second year when I realized it will never pay my bills and will not help me out financially.

Now, I'm a recent grad. 80% of my employable skills I've taught myself. I feel like there are many things I should know to become a really really good developer and to catch up for not starting programming earlier. As a recent grad, it feels like you need to learn everything in a very short amount of time. Furthermore, I only got serious about programming this past year.

By skills I mean:

The language and library you'll be using

Frontend (Android, Swift, Javascript)

Middletier (node,golang, frameworks)

Backend (sql,nosql)

Devops

Algorithms etc.

Design (non-programming)

Unity

But, I've started doing exercising, meditating, eating well, hanging out with friends alot as it helps improve the of my quality of life.

You can get some planes for under $30k too, but there isn't lots who know how to fix em'
