I found this study plan very useful for me. https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2017/01/the-most-compre...

Provides a very good idea of the courses required and their time frame. I roughly followed along this path but took "Analytics Edge" https://www.edx.org/course/analytics-edge-mitx-15-071x-3 for introduction into ML algorithms.

You can also dive in first and then cover the math behind ML, by taking Andrew Ng's courses. https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning https://www.coursera.org/specializations/deep-learning

I have read many of his books and listened to his video talks with his followers while I was in Chennai. The "Commentaries on Living" series are easy to read and my favorites. http://www.jiddu-krishnamurti.net/en http://www.jiddu-krishnamurti.net/en/commentaries-on-living-...

His teachings are just the opposite of Gita (and other Hindu scriptures), which prescribes caste based society as the act of God.

I moved on from his abstract teachings to practical life changing works of Osho, Ambedhkar and finally to E.V.Ramasamy (Periyar).

Not all calories are the same. For example, body excretes excess dietary fat, but stores excess carbohydrates adding 4 times the amount of water to it. You can find the details in any Paleo Diet related site.

I have used Angular in multi-page application, using Angular as a better JQuery in Spring MVC application. This setup worked well combining the best of both frameworks. Angular provided two-way binding, rendering templates (in loop), dialog box interactions, better AJAX, etc. Angular based component libraries provided calendar controls, dynamic tables, etc. Spring took care of the routing pages, handling UI requests and returning JSON response from services.

There is an Indian Facebook group about Paleo diet, where dozens if not hundreds of people followed simple LCHF diet and reversed their type 2 diabetics and got type 1 under control among other improvements. Few physicians also got cured and they started advocating the diet. These doctors are working towards getting Indian Diabetes Association to recognize LCHF diet as a viable remedy.

You can see many medical reports posted by the members for your reference. https://www.facebook.com/groups/tamilhealth/

Survived a complete rewrite for a client just now.

The previous team blindly relied on a single method from Spring framework's RestTemplate for every rest service calls with SAP backend.

    ResponseEntity<T> exchange(String url,
        HttpMethod method,
        HttpEntity<?> requestEntity,
        Class<T> responseType,
        Object... uriVariables)
        throws RestClientException

(ref: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/s...)

This forsed them to create object models structured to match the complicated and inconsitent request and response JSON strings that SAP used, instead of creating the objects modeled after the business domains. The result was no surprise was a disaster and the client wasted five months with them and I had to redo and complete the project still on time.

I still see many teams make their function signatures in Java so convoluted like below and don't know what hit them.

    interface ToDoService {
        ListToDoResponse listToDo(ListToDoRequest request) throws ListToDoException;
        AddToDoResponse addToDo(AddToDoRequest request) throws AddToDoException;
        .. and so on ..
    }

Calories in calories out, hypothesis is proven wrong by many people.

In a Low Corb High Fat diet, excess dietary fat is burned out and excreted. On the other hand High Corb diet, corbs are stored as fat causing obesity.

I have personally seen many people who have transformed their heath with this basic understanding. Ref: http://thepaleodiet.com/stop-counting-calories-start-assessi...

// “the use of a foreign language, as opposed to a native language, elicited less harsh moral judgments.”// I thought this is a common observation.

Indian movies, writings, conversations openly curse in English, but the exact words in native language would be considered as blasphemy.

Soy is a big no within the Paleo diet group I know. This is because it's potent with Phytic acid which binds to other nutrients and turn them into waste. Consumers beware.

I have started and coached a new FIRST Robotics Competition team last year for 2014-2015 season and wanted to use Java. Initially I thought the programming would be very complicated for the high school students, many of whom didn't have any prior programming experience.

How can you control the speed of the robot proportional to the pressure applied on the joystick for example?. However, I was very pleased with the WPILib framework that comes with the kit. This can be accomplished by essentially a single line like (ignoring the variable initialization),

    myRobot.arcade(stick);

I know this is not the most appropriate place to ask. Last year I tried creating subtitles for a movie in Tamil and VLC rendered the texts incorrectly like in the very old browsers. Is the unicode rendering improved in this release?

I have also used MyBatis in few projects and recommend it for applications that are database centric. I would use ORM only if the requirements call for object persistence and be DB/SQL agnostic.

I think the author is out of touch with modern Java development practices. Any decent Java developer would have got exposed to POJO based development[1] by now. [1]Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB - Rod Johnson, 2004

These days even the much hatted EJBs are POJO based and lot easier to work with. Not to mention Lambda support in Java 8 and the hybrid approach of Scala, my favorite.

Try[1] in Scala standard library is also similar in concept. Erik Meijer covers this subject very well in his talks[2].

  [1]The Try type represents a computation that may either result in an exception, or return a successfully computed value. http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/nightly/docs/library/index.html#scala.util.Try

One example of right layoff I have seen is at the rail-road company in my town. They hired consultants to help with the process. My friend explained me how it went. Each person was given a questionnaire asking whom they are reporting to and who are reporting to them. The organization was so bad that many managers did not know who are all the people reporting to them. These people and others many people who were working from home most of the time were the first set of people to go.

Tamil and probably many other Indian languages have various examples: Love as in parental (anbu), as between couples (kaadhal). "How many -eth" (ethanaiyaavathu) child are you to your parents? Many forms of family relationships: younger brother (thambi), elder brother (annan), etc.
