If there was one sin humans carried with them, that’d be the sin of being judgemental with one another.
And while usually I let it go and avoid getting affected by it… today I really couldn’t hold it, and I had to react to this ugly aspect of human psychology and behavior. Today there was a post in this quite popular blog I sometimes visit which was a picture of a gorgeous woman in a cute and sexy dress, posing. However, the picture had a caption on top saying “look at me, look at my ass and boobies; but tell me something obscene and I’ll report you”.
If you know me a little, you already know that at this point I was burning in anger. I still don’t understand why dressing sexy or provocative is a reason to be denied respect. As far as I know, even in the kinkiest of your dreams, you are always respectful and do ask for permission before touching anybody. So that image never happened. Humans keep disappointing me.

On September 3, 2012 I love machine learning algorithms. I’ve taught classes and seminars and given talks on ML. The subject is fascinating to me, but like all skills fascination simply isn’t enough. To get good at something, you need to practice! I also happen to be a PHP and JavaScript developer. I’ve taught classes on both of these as well — but like any decent software engineer I have experience with Ruby, Python, Perl, and C.
I just prefer PHP and JS. Whenever I say that Tidal Labs’ ML algorithms are in PHP, they look at me funny and ask me how it’s possible. Through this series of articles, I’ll teach you the fundamental machine learning algorithms using Javascript — not Python or Octave — as the example language. If you’re a web developer you probably already know JS, regardless of your backend expertise.Javascript has JSFiddle, a great tool that lets me embed executable Javascript right in my posts (hard to do that with C or Perl!) … well, most of the time. Happy learning!
