• GET: Don’t send data. You send things via the parameters. Search usually uses GET.
• How often do you update dependencies? Not really sure lol.
• Don’t overthink things. Just go with Bootstrap for now.
• React recompose spinner (withBranch) and for lifecycle hooks.
• Does this thing have to exist on every damn form? Lol.

handleSubmit = (e) => {
  e.preventDefault()
}

• Array#bsearch is really faster than find, but the array must be sorted first. (Like for 50M numbers, find takes 3 seconds, and bsearch takes like 0 lol.
• There was a Ruby Enterprise Edition before? (2012.)
• Basic Auth
• Admin panel: Administrate.

Musings, CS

• Learning Machine Learning:
  • Studying about it and tinkering around with random data sets.
  • A lot of the time, your code would not look nice. The key is, does it work?
  • On math: “Let’s figure this out!”
  • So you basically need linear algebra, statistics, probability, and calculus.
  • Python vs R: Both are good, pick and learn one, and learn the language as a language, not as an ML language. “Data Science from Scratch”, “Machine Learning with R”.
  • ML Learning Pipeline: Find data (scrape, APIs, CSVs).
  • Machine Learning Mastery website.
  • Visualize results. If you can’t communicate your result, you might as well not have done it.
  • scikit and algorithm things.
  • The plan:
    • Learn the math (2-3 months).
    • Learn the programming language (1 month).
    • Machine learning tutorials and test projects (1-2 months).
    • Short-term passion projects (1 month).
  • You’re going to fail a lot.
  • Your models may not be predictive.
  • Track your projects on Github and write up your results.
