Notes on some stuff we discussed/stumbled upon this week (Week 3, March 2017):-

* snap - Ubuntu 16.04 new way of installing packages.

* AMD Ryzen - Not recommended until the windows and linux kernels have kept up with ryzen's arch. esp. memory access/layout.

* Machine learning:-
- https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/ Very, very, *VERY* good stuff.
1. Free. (pay to get cert).
2. By the cofounder of coursera.
3. By the cofounder of Google Brains couple of years back. Yeah, that part of the team that created tensorflow, etc.
4. By the chief scientist at Baidu Research.
5. Hard, but fair, and every lesson touches just enough of the fundamentals to build on to the next lesson
- i learn from here https://www.udemy.com/datascience/learn/v4/overview as a beginner.
- I would recommend interleaving with the ciml.info book since it explains certain stuff in a more n00b friendly way.

* QnA - var x int in Go is basically 0 or null ?
- Only larger structures with pointers, etc, can be nil. (ie, map, etc). Everything else is zero'd.
- string is default == "".

Lelaki ini telah menyenaraikan satu ‘study plan’ yang lengkap untuk subjek Sains Komputer bagi mereka yang ingin mendapatkan pekerjaan sebagai Software Engineer. Ini apa yang dia cakap:-

I originally created this as a short to-do list of study topics for becoming a software engineer, but it grew to the large list you see today. After going through this study plan, I got hired as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon! You probably won’t have to study as much as I did. Anyway, everything you need is here.

A democratic way of software development

Experts believe that young developers often get attracted towards open source due to its democratic nature.
..
.
“Young developers are biased towards action,” says Monojit Basu, founder and director, TechYugadi IT Solutions and Consulting. “Open source enables them to jump into coding and developing solutions faster. They do not wait for training – they scan the source code or tap into the always-awake developer community,” he adds. //@devkini

How many IP address Google has ?

It turn out (using this script), Google is controlling 200K++ public IP address on the Internet:-

$ total=0

for slash in $(dig TXT +short _netblocks{,2,3}.google.com | tr ' ' '\n' | grep '^ip4:' | cut -d '/' -f 2); do

  total=$((total+$(echo "2^(32-$slash)" | bc -l)))

done

echo $total

What does it give us? 239,616. //@devkini

UPDATE:

Above not entirely correct as if we look at their BGP announcement, the number of IPs originating from them is much larger than that.
