andrewchoi• 13 years ago

Why is the email "learnsoft352@"? Why not something like "learnsoftconsulting@"?

ladybro3• 13 years ago

Good thought. LearnSoft@ wasn't available, so I just included the local area code at the end as an alternative. Just finished this mockup today, so it's still rough. Thanks for your input.

mkramlich2• 13 years ago

In my "free" time lately writing a book on Software Performance and Scalability. After that will write a sequel to a sci-fi comedy I published earlier this year titled The Dread Space Pirate Richard.

Also want to put more time into 2 experimental/speculative software projects, one that does election processing, the other involving taxes and electronic transactions. Not expecting to make money with either. Mainly for the experience, more career feathers in the hat, and to concretely apply some ideas around architecting for maximum performance and scalability.

My "day job" work is confidential, and therefore a secret between me, myself, I, and my employer. (And whichever employees/contractors of the NSA that the NSA/FISA sees fit to share it with, haha.)

X43• 13 years ago

I've spent a lot of time learning and experimenting in the are of performance and scalability. I am curious about your book, willing to share 2-3 paragraphs?

mkramlich2• 13 years ago

Yes! It's mostly in the outline stage now, gathering test readers and P&S experts for feedback, and only a few pages of actual chapter content have been written. Please send an email to the address in my HN profile, if you're interested in seeing more.

iSloth2• 13 years ago

Working on becoming a better programmer, as a full time network engineer i've never really put too much effort into learning coding standards. Been the only person that maintains my applications it's fairly easy to be slack on the admin side of things...

Recently I've been doing a lot of coding, and noticed that my version control and testing could do with some improvement, also been playing around with a few frameworks to see if they make my coding any faster, or more efficient.

Once that's done i'll probably look at improving some of my current application code base, then learn another (none web based) language.

In my spare time, machine learning. I'm working through Bishop's book and testing out a few ideas of my own (a new way to ensemble models and a way for ANN's to communicate).

An open source game for the Apple II, written in 6502 assembly language. Original music transcribed from public domain scores (played with the 2-tone Electric Duet software). It's been very mind-opening to have to think about every byte of memory, learn bit twiddling tricks, design efficient data structures to fit game data on a 140KB floppy disk, etc.

I'm trying to investigate the learning of artificial neural networks by using methods from mathematical logic.

X43• 13 years ago

whew! Can you tell me more? I work in a very related field.

infinity2• 13 years ago

Sorry for the delay of this answer.

I'm still at the very beginning with this project and have no interesting results yet :(

There is a model relationship between artificial neural networks and sets of sentences in a formal language. One idea is to track sets of sentences during the training of a network and see if something interesting can be found.

miguelrochefort3• 13 years ago

Thank you! I've been using it for almost a month, and I love it.

I currently have more than 2000 tabs in OneTab. They used to all be open and in memory. I can now watch videos without too much lag (I still have 500 open tabs that I should transfer to OneTab).

This sure makes being a hoarder easier.

dhammack2• 13 years ago

I started using OneTab after seeing the post on HN, and I gotta admit that it has been really useful. Thanks for making it!

E commerce platform selling typical food that uses "group buying" to bring down shipping cost

miguelrochefort3• 13 years ago

I'm currently working on three "different" applications/use-cases using a single platform:

- "Terms and Agreements" as a service. Applications and websites can delegate the Terms and Agreements process to my system. All contracts and agreement are signed and stored on my side.

- One-stop semantic contract management social network. A single location where you can track and manage all of your contracts, agreements, transactions. There is no limit to what kind of contract you can store and manage using this. The social aspect let people send offers to each other (and accept them). Contracts can have semantic data added to them, to make search, navigation and organization easier.

- One-click classified advertisement listing. List any item for sale with a single click (or in that case, picture).

Again, these are all interfaces to the same platform. They will eventually converge to be the same things.

I just got my first job as a programmer in Barcelona. I don't have any education about the field so I've mostly play around with programming from 15 years age up until lately (20). Right now, I'm sucking in all information I can get from my co-workers (and the experience overall) while working on a product that will improve the income of people doing vacation rentals.

We are getting good traction and focusing on a niche market is helping us gain word-of-mouth publicity. And of course there are already a few big players already in the market.

I am the lead developer and designer. We are trying to build the best UI in the market. Please share your thoughts on the current UI and give your suggestion on where we can improve it.
