News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Isn’t the article confusing correlation with causation? I read like there’s a correlation between acceptance rate and author’s pedigree, but the article sounds like the pedigree is the cause of the high acceptance.

I’m no expert, so please correct if I’m wrong. But for example, how likely is that a Nobel prize winner produces worth-publishing research? Or how likely he is simply good at the skill of paper writing?

Ask HN: An idea for a video compression algorithm

Yesterday, over a nice bottle of wine, I had this idea for a video compression algo. I'm far from a media compression expert, so I'm hoping someone here can chime in.It's well known the fact that our brains make assumptions and predictions for stuff we see. Basically, it's said to have a physics engine, capable of predicting the next position of an object, based on current position and physics...

Could not find the same use case on that tool. But it's interesting anyway.

I know there are probably many other tools for the same purpose, but just built this while learning about ARP protocol.

Glad, it helped. :)
not really looking out to make money with this. The main purpose was just learn more about how bitcoins works (specially about key and addresses generation)

For free ? Where would the python code run ?
I would still recommend Upwork. Start very small, try to score some low budget fixed-priced projects. It's not that hard even for beginners in the site. Then do a good job and make the clients happy so that they write amazing reviews about you. Then keep biding on bigger projects. It worked for me.

If you have done something a million times, so that you can partial or fully automate, like say 'integrate google analytics into your website', then you might consider selling as a low price gig at fiverr.

Hope it helps.

I had been asking myself this since I started following IndieHackers a couple of months ago. And now this article has brought up that issue more intensely. Point is, how can we really trust any article from the website if no minimal check is happening on the interviews ?
