A python script to notify on hackernews changes using pySnarl (win32)
author: joebo
I found myself checking HN throughout the day while working and would
spend a few minutes each time skimming to see if there was anything new.
This automated the task for me and I thought it might be useful to share.
It's meant to be quick and dirty but works.

G-WAN Captcha Decode

G-WAN is a new free web server. They seem to be very proud of it, or at least just want to make a lot of money. Well anyway, in almost every sentence they write, they claim that they are 20% cooler than anything else. It feels a bit arrogant. I have to admit, I don't know a lot about web servers, so I can't speak to how good they are.

However, then I saw their Captcha example. I also don't know much about machine learning algorithms, OCR, and stuff like that, but I do know how to read pixels. I also know how to compare values with python :P

demo

They say the following about their Captcha:

Little utility to transform a file with lines of json into a csv. The utility accepts a list of field names it will look for in the json and turn them into columns of the csv. This script relies on docopt and unicodecsv packages.

This is my default career advice for people starting out in geo/GIS, especially remote sensing, adapted from a response to a letter in 2013.

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or conference) o
