In open organizations, we like to say that you own your career. Each one of us is encouraged to find a gap and fill it. In settings like these—and when there's more work to be done then there are hands to do it—it's important to understand your strengths so you can identify where you can be most effective in the organization and which problems you're passionate about solving. That means everyone—associates, managers, and executives alike—shares responsibility for proactively nurturing an open dialogue about ways they can engage with challenging, meaningful, and interesting work. read more

Watermarking Images--from the Command Line

Us geeks mostly think of the command line as the best place for text manipulation. It's a natural with cat, grep and shell scripts.

An introduction to representation learning

  • Opensource.com (Posted by bob on Sep 12, 2017 3:26 PM CST)
  • Story Type: News Story
Although many companies today possess massive amounts of data, the vast majority of that data is often unstructured and unlabeled. In fact, the amount of data that is appropriately labeled for a specific business need is typically quite small (possibly even zero), and acquiring new labels is usually a slow, expensive endeavor. As a result, algorithms that can extract features from unlabeled data to improve the performance of data-limited tasks are quite valuable. read more

Dont over-React to the Facebook patents license

Recently, Apache re-classified code under Facebook's BSD+ Patents license to "Category X," effectively banning it from future contributions to Apache Foundation projects. The move has re-ignited controversy over the patent grant, but like many events in the open source community, the controversy is more partisan than practical. In fact, it's unlikely the move will affect adoption of React.js, and the criticisms of the BSD+Patent grant mostly don't survive the scrutiny of reason.
