J. Cole Perspective on the Dependency Paradox

If Afro America supported Afro Americans economic en-devours, people of color dependency on the privileged class will be eradicated. The support of self allows you, me and we to truly be free. Understanding the habits of Animals helps to enlightens peoples perspective of capitalism and ultimately the world.

A Dependency Paradox is what J. Cole is intimating in the below interview.

Nim game

Nim game: Nim is a simple combinatory game with finite possibilities. But unlike tic-tac-toe, that other game of limited possibilities, there is tremendous variety in both Nim's conception and implementation. The theory of the Nim game was discovered by mathematics professor Charles Bouton at Harvard University in 1901. In fact, Bouton, who wanted to use the game to demonstrate the advantage of the binary number system, found a simple formula, with which, from the state of play, players can determine correct moves immediately.

What skills should software engineers have for the next decade?


What Skills Should Software Engineers Have for the Next Decade - Slate?
Answer by Pedram Keyani, worked at Google, was an early engineer at Facebook, and now at Uber:If you are looking to be a great general-purpose software engineer, then the skills for the next five to 10 years are very similar to the skills needed in the past five to 10 years:
  • Strong understanding of the fundamentals of computer science, including databases, networking, compilers, data structures, algorithms, and operating systems design
  • Highly analytical and able to decompose big problems into smaller problems
  • Sequence and prioritize what needs to be done
  • Work well in teams (meaningful work is done in the unit of teams)
If you are looking to optimize for trends in the industry or what you think the real world will demand of computer technology, then focus on machine learning, computer vision, mobile development, or distributed systems.
I have one caveat regarding machine learning. Most people think of it as this sexy field (which it is), but most practical applications of machine learning really depend on strong system design focused on effectively using memory, IO, and extracting features that don't reside on the machine making the classification. Most graduate course are focused on the underlying classifiers, but really the magic is in how they are applied to real-world problems.  - Slate
