$ws = New-Object -COM wscript.shell;
while($true){ $ws.SendKeys("j"); Sleep 60;}
Ive used it for demos that way the computer doesnt lock before the demo starts, its pretty short and easy to remember. Also on windows if you spam SendKeys("{Left}") everything you type is backwards and when you hit the windows key it freezes the computer in an interesting way, pretty fun.
You spend years learning that 2 + 2 = 4, seeing (+ 2 2) for the first time is a bit of a shock.
The point is overused but its a good point and he doesnt dwell on it. Arguments shouldnt be evaluated just by how interesting they are.
Edit: I made a mistake while writing this, I am trying to say be objective about your mistakes but many people took that to mean don't admit your mistakes. I should have been more specific with my terminology.
Also use version control to identify the most commonly edited files in the project. These are usually the files that are doing all the work (80/20 rule) and you likely need to know of them.

note: a) you can do this in excel with stringconcat, and b) the project could have been better designed to prevent the boilerplate but that was outside of my control
Assuming you know a little bit of calculus you'll be able to create and train fully connected networks, convolution networks, recurrent networks, and long short term memory networks using only numpy. You will feel very comfortable with deep learning after taking this class.

For instance, at the top of the article the words towards the top of your screen are bigger and easier to read, and at the bottom of the article the words towards the bottom of your screen are bigger and easier to read. This has the effect that your eyes start at the top of the article and slowly go towards the bottom as you read through the article.
This should help combat the "F" shaped reading problem the article was talking about.
Being good is a habit. Constantly ask yourself what a good person would do and do it as much as possible until it becomes second nature.
At any moment in time you should be able to make a compelling argument for why you are a good person, eg: "Im a good person because I helped jump start that ladies car earlier today, and last friday I worked at a soup kitchen".
If you cant make an argument using specific examples then you arent a good person.

When an object grows in size its volume grows faster than its surface area.
Reading code should be like reading a nice book.
