Random programming bits and bytes. Daily Archives: July 17, 2014. July 17, 2014. I started reading PAAS under the hood. I felt that the only way to fully understand what was being talked about in the book was to grab myself an instance and start messing around with it. Thus, I went and got the cheapest instance I could off of digitalocean. Selected ubuntu 12.04, created a new user (other than root) using instructions located here. Added my ssh keys using instructions located here. In virtual-machine-land...

Random programming bits and bytes. Monthly Archives: November 2013. November 10, 2013. Yesterday, 11/9/2013, was the Microsoft Hackathon. The fact that this hackathon occurred just one week after the Intuit hackathon means that I can easily compare and contrast my experiences. I’ll start by talking about the nontechnical differences between the two (organizational, etc.), and then move into talking about the differences in my projects. I did not present at the Microsoft Hackathon. November 10, 2013.

Random programming bits and bytes. Monthly Archives: September 2013. September 30, 2013. Adventures in Machine Learning. I tried to apply this to the Yelp competition dataset, found at http:/ www.yelp.com/dataset challenge/ . I used roughly 5k reviews as the sample space, and validated it with a set of roughly 1k reviews, yielding an accuracy of 70.07%. September 24, 2013. Perhaps the most compelling claim is a way to distinguish (in their words, ‘encode subtle meaning’) between sentences tha...

Explorations with Cardboard! (and Android Studio) | Alexander Lin
https://alincode.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/explorations-with-cardboard-and-android-studio
Random programming bits and bytes. June 30, 2014. So it turns out that getting the Cardboard Sample. To compile is a lot easier than I thought. Who knew that things you fetch from github tend to work on the first try? Or rather, second…). I became really interested in Google’s new Cardboard. And similar competitors in the virtual reality space. I hope the devices gain popularity among developers, especially among curious individuals who haven’t ever developed for this platform (like me! I haven’t m...
