ebitengine is "a dead simple 2D game library for Go". I like it.

Literate (https://zyedidia.github.io/literate/ and https://github.com/zyedidia/Literate) is a great option for anybody interested in Literate Programming.

The book will be released on February 2. "Ideas That Created the Future: Classic Papers of Computer Science" edited by Harry Lewis, and published by MIT Press.

Also, he's written an incredible series of groundbreaking papers throughout his career, going back to 2005. His papers tend to hold up very well. At this point, I carefully read any paper with his name on it, and I believe he very much deserves the honor.

For deaths, the USA has a total of 1,184, and the 8 countries of Western Europe have 15,437, or about 14 times higher on a per-capita basis.

One should of course normalize by population. The USA has a population of 327 million. Eight nations in Western Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany) which are the core of the EU, have a population of 303 million. The US has 82,612 cases today according to worldometers.info. Those eight nations in Western Europe have a total of 289,767 cases today, which is about 3.78 times the US rate on a per capita basis.

See also http://literate.zbyedidia.webfactional.com/ and https://github.com/zyedidia/Literate for information about "Literate", which is my favorite Literate programming tool.

When my son was around 12 years old we gave him the book "Hello World: Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners." It teaches programming with Python and targets making games and was perfect for him. Five years later now, he's really a great programmer, proficient with many languages and techniques. Here's his github site: https://github.com/zyedidia

Somewhat related is MyHDL, a hardware description language implemented as a Python library, that was mostly done by a single individual (Jan Decaluwe). See http://www.myhdl.org/

That's why we developed the "Boundary Forest" algorithm which is a fast nearest-neighbor type algorithm with generalization at least as good as K-NN, while being able to respond to queries very quickly.
It maintains trees of examples that let it train and respond to test queries in logarithmic time with the number of stored examples, which can be much less than the overall number of training samples. It thus maintains k-NN's property of very fast training time, and is also an online algorithm, and can be used for regression problems as well as classification.
See our paper that was presented at AAAI 2015 here: http://www.disneyresearch.com/publication/the-boundary-fores...
From 2011-2015, I was a senior research scientist at Disney Research, working on AI and machine learning. From 1998-2011, I was in the Algorithms group at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL), where my last job title was distinguished research scientist. The focus of my work was probabilistic inference algorithms, and their applications in communications, signal processing, and AI.
I worked at Viaweb (which is relevant to Hacker News because that's the company Paul Graham co-founded) for one year before joining MERL in 1998. Before that, I was a professional chess player and teacher, and before that I was a theoretical physicist (Ph.D., Physics, Princeton 1990; Harvard Society of Fellows, 1990-93).
