New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: Google Cloud suspended our production projects at 1am on Saturday
Tell HN: Google Cloud suspended our production projects at 1am on Saturday

TLDR; never use google cloud systems for production. Google cloud suspended all our projects due to the billing issue in their system they had. Despite reassurances "your account will not be suspended" while communicating with billing support, all the projects were suspended at 1am on Saturday. All the account payments were made and the billing cards are valid. There are no outstanding bills. Never use GCP for production. ---- Edit: full story by request, long read: ---- Previous month billing didn't went through. Not sure if this was due to the billing outage google had (https://ift.tt/6078oYk) or financial transaction issue, however we went ahead and made a manual payment covering all the outstanding amount + extra. Despite the payment made, about a week+ later we suddenly started receiving threatening emails "Your Projects are at risk of suspension". Edited and updated the billing cards. Opened a billing support request clearly mentioning this is a production environment and all the bills are paid. They were "investigating" the issue and assured the project will not be suspended.

New best story on Hacker News: I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard

Hi HN, During lockdown I took up the keyboard hobby but I couldn't find anything I liked the aesthetic of. So I set out to design my own keyboard from scratch that shunned the gamer look in favour of a more minimal, serious design. I've built several prototypes but I would love to get some feedback from the HN community.

Ask HN: In 2022, what is the proper way to get into machine/deep learning?

By getting into machine or deep learning I mean building upto a stage to do ML/DL research. Applied research or core theory of ML/DL research. Ofcourse, the path to both will quite different. Standing in 2022, what are the best resources for a CS student/decent programmer to get into the field of ML and DL on their own. Resources can be both books or public courses. The target ability: 1. To understand the theory behind the algorithms 2. To implement an algorithm on a dataset of choice. (Data cleaning and management should also be learned) 3. Read research publications and try to implement them.
