Ask HN: How often do you visit HN? 7 years ago
I am new to HN and it is already becoming addictive. I think I am going to visit it at least once everyday, if not every hour.
John McCarthy, the creator of Lisp. He also played a big role in the progress of artificial intelligence in the early 1950s.
Honest feedback. In the link you start off directly by describing it as "a Python binding to Tesseract API". It would help if you can briefly explain in the first few lines what Tesseract API is and what it is useful for. It would help someone new to this area not only appreciate what your project is but also what the background to your project is.
Apart from that, great job making something new and then publishing it on PyPI to share with the community.
One of the general best practices is to have diversity in the array of drives. It's not for bugs like this though although it helps for bugs like this. It's to ensure that not all disks fail at the same time.
If you use disks from the same batch in a RAID, they would all begin to fail around the same time, because all of them have the same lifetime more or less.
