TIL about Multivariate Linear Regression
\[\ h_{\theta}(x) = {\theta}_0 + {\theta}_1 x_1 + {\theta}_2 x_2 + {\cdots} + {\theta}_n x_n \]
\[\ h_{\theta}(x) = {\theta}_0 + {\theta}_1 x_1 + {\theta}_2 x_2 + {\cdots} + {\theta}_n x_n \]
Today, I learned of stdbuf from a member of my team, Jim Werwath.
stdbuf allows you to modify the default buffering behavior of an existing program’s handling of *nix’s standard streams: stdin, stdout and stderr.
Today (and yesterday), I ran through the Auth0 quickstart for building a Vue.js single-page application with login and secured HTTP REST calls to an Express API. I learned how developer-friendly Auth0 and Vue.js are. You can find my version of the Auth0 tutorial in GitHub with a few minor tweaks to the official one. I think I’ll continue building things out in this stack! Even though I know this probably isn’t the most efficient stack, I like how easy it is to transition between front- and back-end - especially for toy projects.
Since I’ve started Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning on Coursera, I’ve found myself with a new need on this blog: the ability to elegantly render formulas. This really showed in my last post on the identity matrix when I had to hack through displaying a simple matrix using code blocks and space-aligned columns and rows of characters. So, my quick win this morning is to find a way to work in LaTeX-like formula rendering for future blog posts and this post is going to serve as my testing ground for adding this capability!
Today I learned of the identity matrix in Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning class on Coursera! Identity matrices are a class of matrix that have special properties:
At work we use Concourse CI for continuous integration and delivery.
It encourages interacting with it via the fly commandline interface (CLI).
It also requires everyone to log in to it, and be a part of a team, to do a form of role based access control (RBAC).
Today, I lost about 30 minutes trying to figure out why my new pipelines weren’t being deployed to the correct team in Concourse.
It was because I had set up my fly target incorrectly.
Today I learned about a special redirection operator in bash: >|.
Today I learned about a technique called gradient descent that’s used to determine optimum algorithm parameters for machine learning.
I’m excited to have started Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning class oun Coursera over the weekend! I hope to learn how to apply machine learning to my decision-making process to make better, more informed decisions.
Nicolas Jaar has been my favorite music artist for the past decade. I find I have a deep connection with his music that I haven’t felt elsewhere. The best way to describe it is by comparing it to the phrase “the music fills the room.” I get lost in his music and it makes the space I’m in feel bigger - almost infinite.
