I didn't want to seem too promotional but sure.

The article: http://growista.com/viral-posts-new-research/

Forbes mention: https://www.forbes.com/sites/cherylsnappconner/2018/02/19/by...

Another media placement: https://www.marketingprofs.com/charts/2018/33655/what-goes-v...

I used python and matplotlib to do the research on data I got from buzzsumo.com

How I got the media to talk about my side project

How I got the media to write about me:Hey everyone. Here's a repeatable, step-by-step process I figured out to get media to write about me, resulting in a backlink, traffic, publicity, and, of course, subscribers. I used this to get mentioned in MarketingProfs (a major marketing site) and Forbes.I know it's long but I tried to make things as concise as I could.First, you have to consider things...

Re:Welcome to the New AWS AI Blog on Tuesday February 21, 2017 @10:33AM (#13696199)
Quick slightly unrelated question: Does anyone have a comparison of using Google cloud services vs AWS for machine learning? I'm planning to pick one, and I was leaning towards Google Cloud Services because of the TensorFlow support and the fact that Google is big on ML, making it likely that it's something that Google will support and be good at. With this blog post, I'm not sure.

Ask HN: What is the best JavaScript stack for a beginner to learn?

I'm an experienced Rails developer, and I'm helping a friend learn about javascript frameworks so he can eventually get a job (we're kinda learning together). He was considering the MEAN stack, but with the announcement of all the breaking changes in angular 2.0, I don't think it would be a good use of time to learn angular.It would be nice if there was a Rails of javascript, but there seems to...

Out of curiosity, where did you do your CS grad program, so that you could live on less than 1k a month?

Tweeted at you. Please respond when you get the time. Thanks.

So, I can't find your email. I checked your profile and your blog. I can follow you on twitter or whatever you like, but your advice would be extremely valuable.

I've learned that ruby/rails is not the place to go for tough challenges. Agreed. My question now is where do I go from here?

If I had money and free time, then I'd love to do research on my own. Thing is, I need a job to pay the bills :( I'm thinking of getting into freelancing and using that to float me as I get to do more and more research.

Ask HN: Where are the hard programming challenges/jobs?

I got started programming a couple of years ago because I like problem solving. The harder, the better. I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. I've gotten a bachelor's degree and learned a bit of ruby, rails, and other frameworks/languages, but I'm running into a problem. It seems like all jobs are just simple CRUD apps. I look at 99 percent of the software out there and know that I could do...
