One idea I've been using recently is to start writing unit tests around a piece of code or functionality as I'm trying to use it. That technique narrows the scope to a single thing, and I'm forced to be explicit about what I

There is no good reason to mimic matplotlib's API except that everyone knows it.

I'm an iOS developer deeply familiar with Swift and on the path of learning ML. The irritation with "import Foundation" is understandable. Foundation is, wait for it, the Foundation of Objective-C programming and development

There is a lot of excitement around machine learning and AI and there is not a proportional excitement for the math that underlies the theory. In a lot of content that teaches machine learning/AI, the linear algebra substrate of it is

I recently finished going through MIT OCW's linear algebra class from Gilbert Strang. Without the struggle of doing the assignments, reading the text, and watching the lectures, I don't think I would have ever learned the content.

What do you want to do? Do you want to be the lead person adding automation to the analysts jobs? It sounds like you could catapult yourself up a few rungs on the ladder and have a staff working with you to improve the analysts' jobs

The IRS purposely keeps the definition of income loosely defined so that they can broadly apply it as new schemes and technologies arise. I am sure the IRS could bust you for income tax evasion if you didn't declare your bitcoin apprec
