FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Install MySQL on macOS Sierra

This procedure explains how to install MySQL using Homebrew on macOS Sierra 10.12

Install Homebrew

Installing Homebrew is effortless, open Terminal and enter :
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Note: Homebrew will download and install Command Line Tools for Xcode 8.0 as part of the installation process.

Install MySQL

At this time of writing, Homebrew has MySQL version 5.7.15 as default formulae in its main repository :

How To Serve Flask Applications with uWSGI and Nginx on Ubuntu 14.04

@credit Yan Zhu (https://github.com/nina-zhu)

Introduction

Flask is a microframework for Python based on Werkzeug, Jinja 2 and good intentions, it can help you get your Python application or website off the ground. Flask includes a simplified development server for testing your code locally, but for anything even slightly production related, a more secure and powerful web server is required.

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to install and configure some components on Ubuntu 14.04 to support and serve Flask applications. We will configure the uWSGI application container server to interface with our applications. We will then set up Nginx to reverse proxy to uWSGI, giving us access to its security and performance features to serve our apps.

Prerequisites and Goals

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

This gist contains lists of modules available in

Python 3.10
Python 3.9
Python 3.8
Python 3.7
Python 3.6
Python 2.7

in AWS Lambda.

Quick List of Resources for Topological Data Analysis with Emphasis on Machine Learning

This is just a quick list of resourses on TDA that I put together for @rickasaurus after he was asking for links to papers, books, etc on Twitter and is by no means an exhaustive list.

Survey Papers

Both Carlsson's and Ghrist's survey papers offer a very good introduction to the subject

Topology and Data by Gunnar Carlsson
Barcodes: The Persistent Topology of Data by Robert Ghrist

Other Papers and Web Resources

Extracting insights from the shape of complex data using topology A good introductory paper in Nature on the Mapper algorithm.
