The Death Of Expertise
http://thefederalist.com/2014/01/17/the-death-of-expertise
I am (or at least think I am) an expert. Not on everything, but in a particular area of human knowledge, specifically social science and public policy. When I say something on those subjects, I expect that my opinion holds more weight than that of most other people. via Pocket

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks

I'm training RNNs all the time and I've witnessed their power and robustness many times, and yet their magical outputs still find ways of amusing me. This post is about sharing some of that magic with you.

Unit testing React components without a DOM – simonsmith.io – Portfolio and blog of a London based front-end web developer
http://simonsmith.io/unit-testing-react-components-without-a-dom/?imm_mid=0d3af7&cmp=em-web-na-na-newsltr_20150617
