Any suggestions for tutorials / tips on doing facial identification? I want to identify a face with a label. Most of the shit I can find is face detection which is not what I’m looking for

Wtf is going on at Patreon? Heard they fired their entire security staff a could days ago

P != NP

I recently graduated and got a full time job at a startup I really like. The software team is fairly small (less than 10 people) and they are all significantly older than me (8+ years). Definitely feels weird being a young-whipper snapper

Also kind of feels like I shouldnt be here. Not enough experience to contribute effectively you know

I just started a new job where in my onboarding, I’m supposed to learn typescript and react. I am also supposed to gain some knowledge of databases. Since I am so new, I don’t really have any meetings. I see my manager maybe 2x a day. I’ve been using my time at work to learn these technologies.

I learn best by doing projects. I recently built a bot that scrapes media off of one site and posts it on another site. I was thinking I could create a react front end in typescript for the bit. I would also add a database to my project (the model for the front end) which contains the post history of the bot.

Would that be appropriate for work? I thought it would be good project to help me learn react. However, I am new to the “corporate” world and I feel like my manager won’t want me to waste company time on my side project.

The only other responsibilities I have are reviewing the source code and watching some onboarding videos

Just got my first full time position (software engineer) after I graduated. I start in a couple days. Any tips for me?

How do you guys monitor programs on your servers?

For example, I have a raspberry pi zero w running raspbian (headless). On this pi, I have a bunch of discord bots and web scrapers running at the same time. My solution was to run them all from a bash file:

Python3 discordbot1.py &
Python3 discordbot2.py &
Python3 webscraper1.py &
Node webscraper2.js & etc.

Is there a better way I could be running these services? How is stuff like this usually done?

None of my friends want to play Minecraft with me :(

Stupid question

I wrote a script to scan a site for this tv I want to buy. At first, I just wrote a get request to the site every 30min. After while, I realized that the TV is selling out because it’s getting stocked, and then sold out within 5 minutes.

Can I send a get request to this site every 5 minutes, without causing harm to the site? I really don’t want to mess this guys site up lol

Anybody else hate the phrase ‘breaking the internet’ when something goes viral?

I think I finally fucking did it

Anybody do anything cool with their leftover Androids / iPhones ? I recently came across a good amount of them from extended family. They’re all in pretty good condition. I think it’s a waste because they are fairly recent devices with good processing

This guy said he became a senior software engineer at Google after quitting his job as a baker with no coding experience

Idk about you guys but that sounds pretty scammy to me

What’s the point of having side projects if your just asked to do leetcode to show your competency 😞

Thoughts on Andrew Ng? I’ve been debating taking his machine learning course

Feeling defeated at the moment

I’m extremely frustrated with my job situation. I want to code, I absolutely love building stuff with software. My current job is a “tech” job, but involves absolutely zero coding. I don’t know what else I can do to stand out more or make myself a better candidate.

-I’m a new-grad with a flawless in-major GPA (computer science major)
-I have other past internship experiences that involve coding
-I frequently do my own side projects and post them to GitHub
-I work well on teams (life-long and collegiate athlete)

I apply to tons and tons of places only to get no response, or to have a single fucking interview and then get dropped

Fuck this stupid shit I am so frustrated

Sometimes I really be dumb stupid

Just started my first job out of college. Didn’t really get a good idea of what the responsibilities were when I was interviewing. Turned out that it’s like an advanced help desk role, no coding. No coding sucks but atleast I can use some cool software right?

The entire first month is only fucking online courses on soft skills. Can’t use the cool software until after I finish the courses. AND, I couldn’t even get confirmation that I will be using cool software. I might just be talking to customers. Fucking kill me

All I want to do is code and now I’m stuck in this shit job with no coding

Any Spotify AI/ML podcast recommendations?

I live in a fairly modern home (built in early 2000s) and it’s nice but there’s no Ethernet ports. There are landline ports though. Has anybody used a landline to Ethernet adapter before? Or has had a set up like this?

Thoughts on buying a raspberry pi off of eBay? I know it’s definitely not a verified seller but the seller has great reviews

Anybody have any luck buying microcomputers (raspberry pis, jetson nanos, etc) recently? The market is absolutely fucking crazy. Either sold out of marked up ~200%

Found a IGEL UD3 M350C Thin Client Workspace Edition in a yard sale the pother day. The thing has awesome specs but comes with the IGEL OS which sucks. Anybody used one of these before? If I can get it to use a different OS than the IGEL one it'd be great

Any VPN suggestions? I’ve been using Nord for a while and I’m thinking about changing

I have a system design question I was hoping u guys could help me with.

So I want to make a display that shows an animated wallpaper. I want to have a camera in the display that will recognize finger gestures and will change the wallpaper accordingly (shuffle to a new one, etc.)
EX: when the current wallpaper is displaying, when the user shows the camera the peace sign, it will switch the current wallpaper to a random wallpaper.

I used tensorflow and the mediapipe hands library to get the finger gesture recognition to work. I used tensorflow, python, and openCV.

Now that the finger gesture recognition is finished, I moved to the animated wallpapers and I made a couple with p5js.

How could I best combine the two? Should I switch from tensorflow in python to tensorflow.js? Or should I find a way to re-do my animated wallpapers in python?

My original plan was having the foundation of the whole system be python. This is so I can have the finger gesture recognition run on the main thread, and have another thread deal with the wallpapers.

Let me know if u guys have any ideas or if I’m not clear. Thanks!!!

Fuck it, we ball
