kleebeesh··on PolyConf – Programming conference for polyglot and full stack programmers
Out of curiosity, is the move to Paris permanent?

I went to PolyConf 2016 in Poznan. I enjoyed how broad the range of topics was. Although it can be a double-edged sword. Having so many differing backgrounds can make it tough to strike up a meaningful conversation. For example, if someone is super passionate about OCaml, and I've never touched the language, then there's only so far we can take the conversation. I suggested at one point to have people's top interests printed on their name cards to narrow the search space a little.

kleebeesh··on Google Spreadsheets and Python
It's worth mentioning this service that turns Google Sheets into a RESTful API for you: https://sheetsu.com/

Also sheetrock, which is JS-specific: http://chriszarate.github.io/sheetrock/

I'm not the creator and have only used these for trivial tinkering.

kleebeesh··on Neuromorphic computing implementation of pole balancing
Roughly speaking, low/middle/high are just buckets, each of which represents a third of the distribution for position, velocity, or angle.

We attempt to illustrate that in this image: http://neuromorphic.eecs.utk.edu/images/graphics/Inv-Example...

kleebeesh··on Now: realtime Node.js deployments
Not quite. I'm currently using version 5.7 on openshift. You can define the node version in the .openshift/markers/NODEJS_VERSION file.

kleebeesh··on Full-Stack Redux Tutorial
This was one of the first tutorials that got me into React. Very comprehensive, but I never did understand the necessity for using actions and stores on the server.
kleebeesh··on Show HN: Turn a Google Spreadsheet into an API
I've used sheetrock (https://github.com/chriszarate/sheetrock) with good success in the past. But this definitely seems more refined.
