yazin··on Supercharging Android Apps with TensorFlow (Google's Open Source ML Library)
Great post Jihad! I like the original photo examples you share .. but also your outside-in approach (describing the different bits in a clear, but concise way).

I've been doing the ML course on Coursera, and have been meaning to get my hands dirty with Tensorflow .. your breakdown sure helps!

Yaay for first post .. Keep them coming!

yazin··on Ultimate validation
Great read Justin. I think the challenge lies in getting creative .. finding a way to resist the temptation to splurge on the business before getting those first customers because you have to.
yazin··on Free Ebook: How to Code in HTML5 and CSS3
Great beginners guide! Perhaps consider selling it, or adding a donate button. I've noticed that I always finish books I've actually paid for :)

yazin··on Toward a Better Markdown Tutorial
What is the real problem?

Is it:

* People don't know Markdown because they haven't heard of it

* People have heard of it, but don't know how to use it.

* People know how to use it, but don't know what formatting methods to use (e.g. what should be bold, italic or underlined)

* People know how to use it, but don't know that it's supported on the site they are using.

You can probably think of more points to add to the list, but this seems to suggest a solution without a complete understanding of the problem, which is "Why do people not use Markdown?"

yazin··on The Slack Hack Showcases the Broken Model of Centralized Data
"Compare this to a model where the hacker needs to compromise companies individually."

You don't explain how such a model would work, technically. Would that be like the good ole days of desktop apps that store data locally?
