We stood close together, dressed in our heavy coats and pants atop Haleakalā, waiting for the sunrise. In the frigid air, the snot ran from my nose — a normal reaction, I was told. I incessantly wiped, using the tissues I’d shoved in my pocket, but my tour driver playfully laughed w... | ['Writing', 'Adulthood', 'Travel'] |

Let us create the indicator step by step and then present everything in a full function. Here is the plan of attack:
Calculate the typical price which is simply the average between the current low, high, and closing prices.
Calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation of the price.
Calculate the 20-period moving average of... | ['Trading', 'Finance', 'Machine Learning', 'Data Science', 'Artificial Intelligence'] |

Writing is a similar process. I get to a point where I feel it is heavy or boring, an all over the place mess of a thing, before I can start making it into something that hopefully speaks as a message that I only become conscientious of as part of the process of writing. I might think I know what I am going to write ab... | ['Process', 'Writing', 'Meaning', 'Philosophy', 'Writing Life'] |
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a method of coding that uses succinct, modular “objects” to organize data and functions. It is a concept that can be used to build complex and expansive programs and spans multiple coding languages. I first learned of it while learning to code in Ruby, for example.
Recently, I bega... | ['Software Development', 'Coding', 'Object Oriented', 'Java', 'Programming'] |
Installation
There are two ways you can install conda . The first way is to download and install the full Anaconda package. It comes with Python and a set of libraries that will eventually take up several gigabytes in the disk. The other way is to install a relatively lightweight Miniconda which only contains the esse... | ['Programming', 'Machine Learning', 'Data Science', 'Python', 'Anaconda'] |
In an effort to discover even more powerful networks, Google AI’s research team developed a technique for having an algorithm search for good networks. This is known as Neural Architecture Search (NAS).

I’ve been programming in Java for a long, long time. I’ve learned what it takes to write and maintain big (as in million-lines of code) software in Java and I’ve witnessed industry-wide struggle to avoid and contain the dreaded NullPointerException (NPE) that seemed to plague any reasonably-sized Java codebase.
