Why Logarithms Are So Important in Machine Learning

March 29, 2020 / Fatos Morina / 0 Comments

Do you remember your high school math teacher talking about logarithms? Maybe you did not have a clear picture of it. Maybe you did not understand it in the beginning or were a bit annoyed. Why are we learning something that we will probably never use in real-life in the first place?

7 Habits of Highly Effective Programmers

March 22, 2020 / Fatos Morina / 0 Comments

You hear a lot of books and videos mention a lot of things about habits these days. I believe that’s worth doing because habits are behaviors that we do consistently on auto-pilot without thinking too much about them, whether we like them or not.

As such, we need to be aware of unproductive habits and only build productive ones.

How to directly start new Google Docs or Sheets from the URL bar

I really like Google Docs and Google Sheets as I can use them freely in my phone, or laptop, that I can also share with others and invite them to collaborate.

As you are still reading this, chances are that you are also a user of these two helpful services. You need to browse through the old files, edit them, or create new ones.

There is a really quick way to create new such files without having to initially go to the landing dashboard where you see all the documents or sheets and then choose to create a new one.

Recently, I learned that there are 2 domains that are very handy, assuming that you are already signed in:

doc.new redirects you directly to the page for creating a new Google Doc

sheet.new redirects you to a page where you can create a new Google Sheet

Yeah, plain and simple, just like how things we use a lot we wished they were.

I hope this saves you a few seconds of your precious time.
