Imagine you are in a line at an airport, waiting to go through immigration. The line ahead of you is huge and there's only one (not very excited) agent serving that line. You're sweating, because the air-conditioning is being fixed at this moment, so it's as hot as it gets.

There is a story going around about data science that you’ve surely heard. It's the statement that 80% of the work a data scientist does is collecting, cleaning and organizing data and that only 20% is their real specialty: building models and making discoveries. Those who make this statement, often those selling something, usually claim what data science needs most of all is better tools for doing these so called data munging tasks to free..

I grew up in the planned economy of Communist China in the early 1980s. On my 5th birthday, my parents gave me my first food stamp and said “Boy, you’re old enough to go and buy soy sauce”. This might seem trivial, but in China it was a big deal—a coming of age of sorts. There’s a lot to learn from China’s speedy retail revolution. From the food stamps of the '80s to the mega lifestyle centers of today, retail trends that manifested over h..

As a forewarning, this post doesn’t really provide tips on how to be invisible, it’s more of an observation of human nature. One of my biggest stressors when I was considering living in a van, as is undoubtedly evident from my earlier posts, was my unshakable fear that I was going to be caught, arrested, or otherwise reprimanded. I was worried that I wouldn’t be discreet enough, or I’d make some grave mistake one day, or anything but a ..

This tutorial is starting to get interesting…. In this section we’ll go deep into animations, special effects, search styling and extracting contacts.

I’ve seen many articles and discussions online discussing the merits of merge and rebase when integrating parallel branches into the main branch. It seems there are two camps arguing “which is better” when in reality, both have their own use cases. The task we need to accomplish is to determine which workflow is right for your project. This article will attempt to provide an overview to the different workflows, and explain when merge and ....

I’ve always developed my own blog system, that’s a good way to learn a new langage. But having to maintain a working server or hosting is no fun, there are some solutions like Jekyll or Hugo they generate static web pages based on some Markdown files you wrote. As it’s just basic html files, they can be served by Github gh-pages. It opens the door to blogging from anywhere without internet connection or your own laptop, just write some Mark..

When introduced to someone for the first time, I stay away from asking the cliché question “so what do you do?” This seemingly benign question is steeped in the cultural heritage of the New England colonial Puritan/ Protestant work-ethic . Hard work, frugality, perseverance in the face of hardship (without complaint) is the mark of Grace and this will allow you to achieve salvation. You are your work, and your value and place in the soci....

We’ve released a burst of small new features that piled up during the code freeze and release cycle, we also have a couple of interesting 3rd party efforts such as an independent Windows Phone port and websockets implementation. But first let’s start with Facebook’s “invite friends” feature. Historically with the Facebook API you could just use the Graph API to query Facebook for the list of friends. This will return an empty list now..
