Ask HN: How to blog things I've learnt in graduate school?
148 by jamesecurry | 47 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, Currently, I'm pursuing a masters in Control systems. After looking for a couple of blogs by researchers and graduate students I've had some trouble understanding in how to document/write the things I'm learning in graduate school. Ideally, I'd like to write to help understand how deep my understanding of the subject is but also be a way to contact people who are interested in the field of control systems & machine learning as two overlapping fields via a personal blog. A few of my concerns involve: 1. How to maintain a technical blog without sounding like an academician i.e examples of other good blogs. 2. How to spread the knowledge from the courses I'm taking legally i.e. how much out of class homeworks/material is it okay to share? Thanks for reading!

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: ThePDFApi, a Chrome Based PDF Generation API Hosted on AWS

Show HN: ThePDFApi, a Chrome Based PDF Generation API Hosted on AWS
2 by marcTPA | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN! It kept surprising me how much of a hassle it is to generate a PDF with decent HTML5 rendering from my SaaS apps. I tried several free libs and APIs but ended up with botched rendering a lot of times. So I set out to simplify this chore by creating an AWS hosted HTML to PDF conversion API that's based on Chrome. This API will allow a dev to just send the HTML to our API and get a PDF in response without having to worry about running and managing Chrome somewhere in their infra. I just finished the first version of my landing page and hosted pdf generation API ( https://thePdfApi.com ) and would love to have some feedback on the following points: - is it clear upon viewing the landing page what the product is about? - are there any questions that you have that are not answered on the page? I'm thinking about adding an FAQ once the first questions pop up. - would this product provide value to you if your startup needed to generate PDFs? If not, what would you use instead? Thanks for helping a fellow hacker out. https://thePdfApi.com

Ask HN: What are the best coding practices in research projects?
3 by mlajszczak | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Research environment differs significantly from regular software engineering: - researchers conduct experiments that may fail - they often produce PoC instead of final products - it's tempting to produce tonnes of low quality code (since it just an experiment/PoC!) - often researchers are not software engineers so they don't really care about code quality / tests How to find a good trade-off between high coding standards and not getting in the way of research? Is it possible to move smoothly from PoC to production solution without rewriting everything from scratch? How to share code between experiments / PoCs?
