Sometimes functionality needs to be added to a each each method of an object. Here is the object:

var objectA = { method1: function() { console.log('running method 1'); }, method2: function() { console.log('running method 2'); }, method3: function() { console.log('running method 3'); } };

You are in for a treat of very complicated legalese:

I would urge you to avoid creating a dependency between Openstack code and any AGPL project, including MongoDB. MongoDB is licensed in a very strange manner that is prone to creating unintended licensing mistakes (a lawyer’s dream). Indeed, MongoDB itself presents Apache licensed drivers – and thus technically, users of those drivers are not impacted by the AGPL terms. MongoDB Inc. is in the unique position to license their drivers this way (although they appear to violate the AGPL license) since MongoDB is not going to sue themselves for their own violation. However, others in the community create MongoDB drivers are licensing those drivers under the Apache and MIT licenses – which does pose a problem.

This article’s a push for the CloudExpo, June 10-12 2014. The $300 early bird price expires today (March 31). The IoT is only part of this so beware.

From the time of my original involvement in the technology industry in the early 80s – can you say Zilog and CP/M? – I’ve not witnessed the manic excitement I’m now seeing. Fire! The Internet was big – “bigger than fire” a few overheated folks said in the 90s – but IoT is bigger. As sensors start creating a fully fledged parallel world, the data demands of the IoT-driven Web will easily eclipse today’s puny global cyberstructure. Magnitudes will ensue, and there will be increasingly insane demands for routers, switches, storage, cables, and processors. Like those old skinny ties in your closet, hardware will come back into vogue as never before. Take that, Marc Andreessen. What has me jazzed about IoT is its totality throughout the stack. This is not just a play for Cisco, for Rackspace, for Dell, for all who supply AWS and Google Cloud. There is some excitement for the software folks, too.

The JavaScript with statement can be a useful shortcut for accessing object properties:

var mailBox = { messages: { message1: 'hello', message2: 'I could not think of a message' } }; with(mailBox.messages){ console.log(message1); console.log(message2); }

Unfortunately, it is not very cross…

Jason Brownlee published an excerpt from his “_Small Projects Methodology: Learn and Practive Applied Machine Learning” focusing on the process of implementing machine learning algorithms:

Implementing a machine learning algorithm in code can teach you a lot about the algorithm and how it works.

In this post you will learn how to be effective at implementing machine learning algorithms and how to maximize your learning from these projects.

If you think about it, the process of implementing machine learning algorithms is in many ways similar to how machine learning works.
