Memorizing a programming language using spaced repetition software

Hacker News

I’ve been doing this for a year, and it’s the most helpful learning technique I’ve found in 14 years of computer programming. Background: I’m an intermediate programmer. I didn’t go to school for it. I just learned by necessity because I started a website that just kept growing and growing, and I couldn’t afford to hire a programmer, so I picked up a few books on PHP, SQL, Linux, and Apache, learned just enough to make it work, then used that little knowledge for years.

Parsing English in 500 Lines of Python

Explosion

I wrote this blog post in 2013, describing an exciting advance in natural language understanding technology. Today, almost all high-performance parsers are using a variant of the algorithm described below (including spaCy). The original post is preserved below, with added commentary in light of recent research. A syntactic parser describes a sentence’s grammatical structure, to help another application reason about it.

Agent Tooling: Connecting AI to Your Tools, Systems & Data

Speaker: Alex Salazar, CEO & Co-Founder @ Arcade | Nate Barbettini, Founding Engineer @ Arcade | Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO @ Aggregage

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

A Good Part-of-Speech Tagger in about 200 Lines of Python

Explosion

Up-to-date knowledge about natural language processing is mostly locked away in academia. And academics are mostly pretty self-conscious when we write. We’re careful. We don’t want to stick our necks out too much. But under-confident recommendations suck, so here’s how to write a good part-of-speech tagger.
