I have noted that chinese guys write code just like others but when they write comments in English, they mess them up. For example almost always, when they to save "imap clients typically request multiple messages at a time", they will invariably write "imap clinent typically request multiple message at a time". Note the lack of plurals.
Looks cool. Where do you source these jobs from? How do you make sure to update these frequently.

Interesting. I can't imagine it being so sensitive. Someone can look at satellite imagery and figure out what those crops are, even on a country wide scale.

Tangentially related, I want a dataset of all cultivated lands and what crops they are growing? Is there a dataset for it? I mean, I give GPS coordinates and I get back crops growing there.
Location?

Hi. Thanks for starting this thread. I am a backend engineer so I need help on frontend, specifically, with CSS quirks.

Some projects I am working on 0) A chrome extension which shows website metadata like "no ads, cookie popup, ecommerce site, indie site, news website" etc when you search on the web. This will be useful to weed out SEO spam.

1) An imgur for all software screenshots, starting with github.

2) A website for interview related coding feedback. Companies often do not give this feedback but candidates desperately need it.

3) A new blog/RSS reader that shows deeper insights on what you are reading. Uses lots of NLP to weed out blog spam.

If you are interested, plz send email. Address in profile.
