Go gaga over Machine Learning

Facebook is building brain-computer interfaces for typing and skin-hearing Facebook is building brain-computer interfaces for typing and skin-hearing Today at F8, Facebook revealed it has a team of 60 engineers working on building a brain-computer interface that will let you type with just your mind without invasive implants. The team plans to use optical imaging to scan your brain a hundred times per second to detect you speaking silently in your head, and translate it into text.

April 12th, 1947: ENIAC, the world's first general-purpose programmable electronic computer, ran the first code written in the modern paradigm, marking the birth of computer programming as a profession. This first test code ran computations for the hydrogen bomb. ENIAC could perform complex coded operations like loops, seen today in languages like JavaScript, Ruby and Python. These first professional programmers were all WOMEN , a fact that took 50 years to be recognised. Coding ENIAC to solve a single problem would take weeks. Today, you can build a website in a matter of hours! Apple II at 40: Explore Mac History On April 17, 1977 , the Apple II computer was unveiled. 40 years later, your browser can load and run Classic Mac OS, its successor’s operating system, in seconds.

Test sharding allows you to evenly divide up your tests into groups. The shard index is which "percentage" group you are running. How the groups are divided is arbitrary as the point of sharding is to parallelize your tests. Generally used in the context of android: Here is the code that shows test sharding for android devices: androidtestlib/src/com/android/test/runner/TestRequestBuilder.java - platform/frameworks/testing - Git at Google android / platform / frameworks / testing / 2fe8aed7542ee05ce504d69656475d1948e9c5b2 / . / androidtestlib / src / com / android / test / runner / TestRequestBuilder.java Another example of test sharding: Test sharding manually with ADB Test sharding using an existing framework: Spoon Another context of where you would hear this term is mongodb: Sharding Concepts - MongoDB Manual 3.0 Operational Segregation in MongoDB Deployments

Problem: Find the delta/diff between two pdf files on a windows machine Solution:  Install  WinMerge    Download and install  xdocdiff  plugin Select [Plugins]-[Automatic Unpacking]. Unzip file. Copy xdoc2txt.exe and zlib.dll to WinMerge program folder. (Where WinMerge.exe is located) Copy amb_xdocdiffPlugin.dll to sub folder "MergePlugins". In WinMerge, go to Plugins > List and tick the "Enable Plugins" checkbox  Choose Plugins > Automatic Unpacking Or https://github.com/vslavik/diff-pdf

This is probably one of the best single page website that could explain what is Machine Learning using interactive visualizations: A visual introduction to machine learning Let's revisit the 73-m elevation boundary proposed previously to see how we can improve upon our intuition. Clearly, this requires a different perspective. By transforming our visualization into a histogram, we can better see how frequently homes appear at each elevation. More to come on ML!
