Fluid photoset

A photoset that retains the aspect ratio of all images, yet keeping images on the same row at equal heights.

Advantage over Other Algorithms

The diff output is more specific:

[I]f a whole block of text is moved, then all of it, rather than just the beginning and end, is detected as changed.

>The algorithm described here avoids these difficulties. It detects differences that correspond very closely to our intuitive notion of difference.

Carolina shag didn't happen, still wants to do it.
Been doing minor electrical work, fixing light fixtures and stuff around the house.
ReasonML stuff is on pause. Should probably take it one at a time instead of spreading too thin.
Picked up a short eBook on Zen to Done, a spin on Getting Things Done.

"AI is the new Electricity"

Andrew Ng lecture, Stanford Graduate School of Business
High level, but totally worth watching.

Stanford cs231n, winter 2016

I went looking for lectures from different sources and these are a great "from first principles" introduction. The newer cs231n lectures may have more relevant details, but I like Andrej Karpathy's

FWIW: I didn't produce the content presented here (the outline from Edmond Lau's book). I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember what exactly the original source is. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credits.
