   I first encountered the Knapsack problem at a job interview. Intuitively I tried to solve it using what I later found out to be the greedy approximation algorithm [1], which proved unsuccessful to solve it for the interview's sample in

    Last time I worked with XSLT was in 2014, redesigning a major Brazilian airline reservation and ticketing system. At the time their passenger service system (Navitaire New Skies [1]) had already switched their white label front-end app fro

    Damn... Even though it truly is a solved problem, it's much more intuitive (and fun) to implement a tic-tac-toe solver from scratch using minimax than any lookup tables heuristic. Since it is a generic solution, I believe the minimax s

    I also had to implement a Tic Tac Toe "AI" when I was in college about a decade ago. Last year I was revisiting my college files backup and decided to upload it into GitHub: - https://github.com/TCGV/TicTacToe

    My two cents: Consider starting some side projects on your spare time. Choose topics in which you have genuine interest, use tech you're not familiar with, adopt different architectural styles, make it public (ex: GitHub) and share pro

    My two cents: 1) Batteries become much more efficient, by 2030 we will recharge mobile phones once a week. 2) Health-monitoring wearables will be widespread, driving life expectancy up by 10 years largely due to early condition detection an

    Hi again, So I ran the analysis again using the standard MLE technique you suggested and got the following results: - Gaussian Model: σ = 0.0473 - Cauchy Model: σ = 0.1443 Quite an improvement from the original least squares regression appr
