I had the pleasure of visiting Dynamicland and hanging out with Peter Norvig, Nicky Case and many others. There's a few things that stuck out for me: - The community! Most people I interacted with were pretty inter-disciplinary. Some

Completely agree with this. To really learn linear regression, you need to be comfortable with linear algebra (for OLS) and calculus (gradient descent). I actually wrote most of the machine learning content at Dataquest (where I work) and I

WebAssembly will no doubt give us more freedom, but still has a lot of constraints. Also, it's fundamentally a hack built on top of the browser ecosystem, not replacing browsers entirely!

I help people get data science jobs for a living (and I'm an otherwise annoying career advice giver to others) and this is the ONLY book I recommend everyone to read. I've read it probably 10 times and it's a quick read, find

Hey, I'm involved with a startup and we're aiming to just that -- provide a 0 to job-ready experience in machine learning. We're more of a paid, integrated experience than a repo with notebooks though. Here's our data sc
