As soon as you start adding our beloved french recipes, frogs, snails and other oddities might substantially increase the 1,790 ingredients count

Ask HN: Good resources to learn quantum computing

I remember learning the basis via a wonderful website designed to teach quantum computing (qubits, Bloch sphere, doors up until explaining Shor) with recurrent quizzes, whose content depended on what you had good/wrong on the previous one. Though I can't find a mention of it anywhere, HN submissions/comments or search engines.As I'd like to brush up my knowledge, any recommendation of the best...

I really enjoyed the text game and the design, thanks for sharing!
Conductors union could clearly organize a strong opposition to this change. At least in France they proved they know how to do it.

I have some previous experience in calculus and GPU, hopefully my memories of computer graphics classes will help me in this journey.

A huge thank for your advices and the methodology shared!

The company did not hire me to do scientific computing, rather build the beginning of an ambitious software platform which, beside other things, will leverage a scientific computing component. As we are a start up, I'm more than happy to go out my comfort zone to work on the first steps of this component, before we hire specialist in the years to come.

Thanks for your advices on MATLAB and Python, and I'll take a look at OpenMPI. Who knows, maybe I may have the option to understand what the code is doing if I put some work into it :-)

Ask HN: Resources to Learn Scientific Computing?

After some years of software engineering (mobile apps and back end development) in classic business domains, I recently joined a company in a scientific domain (space).I gathered along the way knowledge of how to architecture and build systems depending on the expected volumetry (numbers of active users) and its distribution in time (periods of activity).Now I'm faced with the challenge of...

"And quite frankly, I hope I don’t have to give another live lecture ever again. I’ll tape it; I’ll have them watch it — I know most of them are going to watch it at 1.5 or 2x speed. I’ll sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks, but that’s OK. Then we can spend the time in class actually working on problems or discussing some of the issues that I brought up."

Beside the joke, I find the concept of ingesting content at your pace and then talking about it in class very interesting. No idea if the knowledge will stick in mind as well as classic lectures, but I would definitely have been seduced by this proposition when I was a student.

What kind of specialist does a broken iOS app consult?

An orthoplist.

NB: my coworkers gave me a weird look when I told them this handmade nerdy joke, hope it will pull one or two smiles here

For a novice like me, it sounds a bit like quantum computing, where rather than "digitalizing" a physical problem like we do with classic computing, we use physical properties of elements (like the spin of an electron) to solve it. How far does this analogy go ?

A classic which appears so frequently in HN comments that I decided to find the time to read it. It was really worth it.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig

It's kind of a classic, but I really enjoyed Richard Feynman lectures[0], especially on subjects I thought I knew well.

As an occasional attendant of the meetup, and a member of the related Slack, I'm pretty sure this will be an awesome event!
For those of you who are interested in chatbots and Ruby, we open sourced Clarke, the framework we are using at Applidium to architecture them: https://github.com/applidium/clarke

And if you're more interested in the thought process behind, we did a presentation of what led us to this architecture https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kGiHfMMjf-OL7ZUODttu...

If you have any question or feedback they're very welcome :-)
