I switched to Sublime text recently but found its licence pop-up and download update pop in Mac very annoying. I had no such problems when I used Notepad++ why is there so much hype for Sublime as a text editor (there is even a Udacity course for sublime)? What am I missing?

Have you ever searched for a machine learning based api service provider and couldn't find/afford one. Examples could be: To return sentiment of an image. Create image from text, Give answers to general questions etc.

Curious to know what are the raspberry pi projects hn readers are working on. Also has anyone managed to monetize any such projects to a profitable side business?

This question was asked on both 2015 & 2016 in HN. I would like to ask it again today to know what are the newest options for this.

Q: What would you recommend as a reasonably priced (sub 150$) quad-copter/drone, that has a camera, the ability to be programmed (so that I can process video/write my own stability algorithms for it), good range, and reasonable flying time? In the event nothing fits that price point, any pointers on what the state of the art is?

Thanks!

Seeing things like the impact of Tesla, I'm wondering if it's possible for programmers to be more involved with hardware. I feel getting my hands on hackable Amazon Echo, DIY Home Automation, a programmable drone etc. Do you have any interesting projects/ideas to start off with related to these areas?

I happened to watch the video on Productivity by Robert C Martin (author of Clean Code). He recommends following Pomodoro technique everyday to estimate our avareage number of tomatoes/day on the long run and also achieve the benefits of high productivity. Has anyone followed this? If yes, what are your estimates and have you reaped the benefits?

Remote jobs are getting really popular now, and I'm curious to know about the potential for new products/apps for remote workers. E.g. nomadlist If you are a remote developer, do you have any particular tool/app/website that you wish existed and would make your life easier?

Just getting more curious on ML possibilites, if I train a model with thousands of potrait photo samples of people at age 20 and their photo at age 30. Can I create a model that can successfully predict how someone will look at 30 when given the photo at age 20?

Since I don't have any mentors on this area. I am very interested to know atleast what this specific problem area is called in Machine Learning. Are there currently any frameworks you know that can do this?

I am feeling curious about the impact of ML in discovering new knowledge. I know ML learns from tons of training data and then later can come up with much better solutions. Would it be possible to design ML that looks into some training data of how sorting happens and then later come up by itself with with all the sorting algorithms like Bubble Sort, Quick Sort and may be even new ones that humans have not thought of? Is anything of that sort possible?
