Regarding your second point, posts about C++ or Java seem to be lacking simply because the languages evolve over a multi year phase. I do remember seeing posts about C++17 on HN and there being discussion about it. People will occasionally post libraries they made in that language. I don't do a lot of Java development, but I am interested in C++ and if you are too I would check out r/cpp if you haven't. Many of the posters are people doing a lot of work on C++ - compiler developers, people working on the standard, etc.

I guess you raise a good point since it is only a "resource" post. My comment was geared toward all ML related posts in general.

I do research in ML so I love seeing these posts, but the fact that words like neural networks has become such a buzzword is somewhat disappointing. I remember all the buzz when Swiftkey released their "neural network" keyboard simply because of the name.

I remember reading a comment sometime ago on this site where people on HN seem to have a positive bias towards topics on machine learning and would always upvote it. ML seems to be such a tech buzzword these days. This blog post is at the top of this site, yet there is not a single comment of discussion. I am not trying to sound negative, but rather was wondering if other people shared the same opinion.

Regarding the post: This seems like a useful resource. When I read many of these papers, a code supplement makes understanding it so much better. I do a lot of research with RNNs with respect to language modeling and implementing various models when I started researching this field was very useful to get a better understanding. I got great feedback on my implementations where people said it helped them understand.
