Is there a SOTA library for common web scraping issues at scale( especially distributed over cluster of nodes) for Captcha detection, IP rotation, Rate throttling, Queue Management etc.?

Great job!! I looked at your HN profile & it looks like you’ve a knack for similar websites that compile information from comment threads.

I suppose you’re using NLP, specifically NER. Is there a blogpost that details your general approach? Or could you suggest how to extract such information from threads?

I’ve been using Jitsi for a couple of weeks and my experience has been pretty good so far.

Got a quick question if someone can answer. Is is some how possible to use OBS stream with Jitsi? For my use case, I work with an one MS-Excel window capture & my webcam input capture in the corner, to explain some concepts to my students.

Any help appreciated.

I was on Amazon to buy the book 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen. And I stumbled onto some really odd reviews that didn't make sense. So I parsed the reviews and did some basic analysis.

A newbie here who plans to learn basic video-editing. I am in a dilemma whether to go for Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere. While the first is free, I noticed there are very very few assets(LUTs, Lower-thirds, Transitions etc) that are freely available for DR. Perhaps because it is still in its nascent stage. Do you happen to know any resources to find such assets for Davinci Resolve?

This is good.

Although when I think of a cookbook, I'm mostly interested in some re-usable snippets of codes that can be used again and again. A good example would be Chris Albon's site https://chrisalbon.com

For eg: - a recipe for splitting comma separated values in a column into multiple rows or - a data cleaning recipe that removes all unwanted spaces/trailing newlines/punctuations

I've searched but never come across a compilation of such re-usable code snippets anywhere. Would be glad if anyone has any resources like this.

Same here. Count me in too. Happy to lead/help this initiative.

And tbh I don't think it needs to be projects that make $money. Any automation/ML based projects that make life easy for the coder should qualify. Eg: A simple Python script I wrote as hobbist helped me build a meme page with 17K fb followers when I was in school. I had no intentions of monetizing it. Just harmless fun.
