I guess there are a lot of weirdos in Chicago by your estimation. Virtually every decent north-side neighborhood in Chicago (including Jefferson Park) has a median sales price above your $250k point and that includes…
I guess I should have specified that I'm thinking of 3+ bedroom homes. Here's what Zillow looks like for a wide drawing of north-side Chicago SFHs under $250k.…
>>I paid nothing close to 500k in Oak Park... Congratulations! I'm aware Oak Park has some affordable homes (but higher taxes) since much of my family lives there. But Oak Park is not Chicago and I was talking about…
Less lawn care. :-) That said, there are large pockets on the northwest side that have lot sizes comparable with some near suburbs.
That might be realistic for a condo, but a single family home at that price would have to be a serious fixer-upper or have some other significant flaw (near gang areas, etc.). The types of homes most urban professionals…
You mean the Jack Kerouac who ended up drinking himself to death? Perhaps the road trips did not cure all ails.
There are probably ways he could have conveyed that better. Judging by the outcome, smarter people than me came to that same conclusion.
Right about what exactly? The deal was not "we'll give $20k to whoever gets the most upvotes." It was about participating in a YC program, which this person doesn't seem to have any interest in, or at least wants to…
I'm actually impressed by the level of detail provided in the rejections. There's nothing worse than getting a rejection that does not clearly state the reason for the rejection and a path to resolution. Apple and…
"The only way to alert a guard was to bang on the door and hope the sound could be heard above the din." Do cells not have cameras? I would think it'd be feasible to detect fights with basic motion detection.
I have no love for Twitter, Gnip, or the way they've treated API devs over the years but this particular use case (ranking emojis by frequency of use) seems like it could be just as well served by the free sampled…
VS Code is free and open source, so I'd say yes.
AddStructure - Chicago, NYC - REMOTE - Full Stack Developer Founded in 2014, AddStructure is an angel-backed startup focused on providing state of the art natural language processing applications to large enterprises.…
I don't get it. Because truly innovative companies don't write SQL? Is this some kind of ORM or NoSQL snobbery?
I know of at least one other Chicago startup (no affiliation) that's been doing this exact thing for a year or two. I'll refrain from name dropping them in OP's announcement thread, but I did notice that any mentions of…
They almost certainly do not use the API given its limitations, and unfortunately the Yelp folks do have a history of suing crawlers: https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/califo...
VBScript is the language of Classic ASP. Many, many sites were written with that technology ~15 years ago and some are still around. An unpleasant language, yes, but certainly not an incompetent decision at the time.
One of my major hang-ups about transitioning away from SQL Server to Postgres is the productivity that comes from tools like Profiler and Database Engine Tuning Advisor (which uses hypothetical indexes to find…
Given their size and stage at the time it was likely south of 7 figures or very low 7 figures. Considering their acquirer IPO'd soon after, though, the stock portion probably grew in value significantly. (No inside…
One more I'll add to the mix that has come in handy several times: CsQuery jQuery port. https://github.com/jamietre/CsQuery
Mono support is important for us and I prefer the syntax. It's also handy to be able to serve up ancillary pages like documentation alongside the API.
Surprised no one has mentioned Nancy: https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy I can't imagine building APIs without it now.
What accuracy rate have you seen in the sentiment analysis from AYLIEN? Did you evaluate any others?
Unfortunately this only reinforces the mystical nature of SEO. 1. Why does Webmaster Tools tell you duplicate titles are a problem but changing them has no impact? 2. Why does repeating pin descriptions improve traffic…
