Come on man. I know hacker news is negative about nearly everything but the world isn't quite so bad. Cheer up and look around you. We've come a long way and there's so much more to do.

The entire underpinnings of GPS relies on the speed of light to calculate positions as the GPS satellites send their position, velocity and a current time stamp. These can be used to generate a distance from the satellite based on the veloc

I've noticed this to be the case too with other courses. So for this one I've decided to implement everything in Scala (I'm currently taking the functional programming course as well. This will work well since this machine learning course r
