I'm a very technical person, but I never feel dumber than when doing mathematics. Self-teaching it is especially challenging. In many fields, one can learn to recognize general patterns and quickly apply them elsewhere. In math, I f

Several versions ago, there was a mod (maybe called "homeworld") that had a sink of you sending various resources through a portal back "home". It started simple with N iron plates, but then they wanted 10N oil barrels,

I don't often self-promote, but my channel, DanDoesData, hosts the long-form type of series you may be looking for. Every video is a hour of live-stream where I research, design, and implement the model on the fly, explaining my thoug

I was a little bummed to see no mention of `slimux`. It's a fantastic way to execute commands in a real shell (another tmux pane) from the comfort of your ViM session. By combining this with say IPython running in the shell, it'

I really enjoy vim tabs for multiple files. Especially if I don't need to see all of them at once, but just quickly switch between them. `:tabnew foo.txt` to open another file, then `gt` to go to the next tab and `gT` to go back. If

I created a video course aimed at ML enthusiasts with software experience. It introduces Google's TensorFlow library, walks through code examples, and tries intuitively explain some of the statistics. https://www.packtpub.

I actually studied exactly that! The optimal calculations for headway distance get a bit involved, but I coded up a modest algorithm and simple simulator. https://github.com/dvbuntu/oddities

Is it really "making it too easy" if you're applying your knowledge of the structure of the problem space to make it easier for the computer to solve? Certainly this isn't easy to do with every problem, but it seems lik

Interesting concept. The aggregating of documentation and analysis together reminds me of a Jupyter notebook. If you add in a fully-featured CAD plugin and connect everything to AWS or whatever, does that approximate your product plan?
