Show HN: Focus Firewall – a realistic distraction blocker for Mac

https://focusfirewall.com/

Hey folks,I started building this app (for Mac) out of necessity to avoid distractions (like twitter, yt, hn) during working hours, especially now that I'm WFH/remote/solo and lacking the structure of a corp job schedule.I was having a hard time because a yt video or a twitter link visit would almost always becomes 2 videos or 5 mins of scrolling. There are a bunch of smart people working...

Folder structure in some repos seems like a game is being built.
This is awesome.

Not yet an organization here, but I've used scikit-learn for my internship project and thesis.

Something I implemented during that work (barely working) was the EM algorithm. I was wondering if EM is of any interest of the library.

Quick look feeling: too much text, too few images (tl;dr). Maybe adding a few more graphics could help (also lowering your bounce rate).

Congrats on the project! It's really interesting to see electrical engineering tools using web and modern concepts instead of the usual the nasty-windows-only-IDE packaging.

This is great to hear! I used a similar construction on my final project (electrical engineering) but left the appropriate mathematical proof (if any) into the Future Works section. The classification rule I found to be better was:

  c = argmax_{c \in C} (log(P(c)) + Sum_i (N_{d,d_i} \times log(P(d_i|c)))
where

  c - best class
  C - set of classes
  P(c) - prior prob. of class c
  P(d_i|c) - conditional of the word d_i on the class c and
  N_{d,d_i} - frequency of word d_i in document d
Excuse me for the possibly weird notation.

Virtually this expression means it places a frequency power upon the word probability, which is basically assuming (naively, I think) "words that are more likely to occur should be empowered".

This is awesome. Is anyone doing it already?

Thank you for your reply! ;)

It seems I don't have any twitter friends on Subjot, yet..

Congratulations on Subjot! I really like the idea. Are there plans for some kind of 'reputation' for people in specific subjects they talk about?

I tried to use it for a while but gave up when I couldn't find a simple way of finding my twitter follows that also have a Subjot account. Did anyone tried/succeeded doing this?
Re:Show HN: My weekend project Tigger on Monday June 27, 2011 @02:30PM (#2702415)
I'm not sure but I think he meant creating an alias, such as git task. For instance, your commands could be:

git task list

git task new "Fix homepage styling"

That can be achieved if you put something like this on .gitconfig:

[alias]

task = !tigger

Is it me or it does not accept accents? I tried 'André' and server got sad.
