  1. Ask HN: What's your favorite router these days?

    Looking to upgrade my home network, currently have an Airport Extreme and 2 Airport Express access points. Now that Apple's getting out of the routing business, I'm sad. I really like knowing there's some NetBSD in the…

  3. Show HN: Two HN tabs I found together, that concern me

    I was reading Chappe and Chaudhary's essay The Supermanagerial Class, by way of a comment (2) and kept getting confused about which article I was reading, because the next tab over was Tetzeli's A Short History Of The…

  7. Ask HN: What sort of data do distributed systems handle well?

    That's pretty much the question. Imagine you had access to whatever massive data set you want, live or archival, what would would fit with something like improbable.io?

  13. What Is CompSci Equivalent to Federation of American Scientists

    ML is the new darling of the defense industry and we're about to force Apple to set crypto precedent for the FBI. Are you planning to give up entirely or is there an organized movement to resist?

  15. Ask HN: Tutorial for python (esp PIL) for bio image analysis?

    I saw it on here a month or two ago, I know I bookmarked it, but damned if I can find it. I think the guy who wrote it was out of MD Anderson, but not certain. I know this is pretty lame, but could anyone point me to it?

  21. Ask HN: How do you decide when to use a library?

    I'm teaching myself bioinformatics and have some knowledge of the major libraries (eg, scikit-bio and biopython). I'm finding it helpful to lean on the libraries sometimes, but then I'll feel guilty and go back and…
