Smalltalk has
    Class - defines behaviors of instances
    Object - an instance of some class
    Selector - Name of a message
    Message - selector with parameters
    Method - code / procedure found in class for responding to a message


It is not essential to have classes, we can do OOP with just objects

create a random arrangement of an input sequence (good for exam seating arrangements)
$seq <first_no> <last_no> | shuf

If we have pre-determined list of students, we can use "shuf" command to generate the random permutation of the students
and then give them a sequential seating order.
$shuf student_list.txt > random_order_list.txt

Assume that a node project exists in /home/alan/autolabjs with the corresponding dependencies in 
/home/alan/autolabjs/node_modules. Let's also say we have mocha dependency installed in node_modules.

Now, a regular way to use the installed dependencies is to execute mocha is as follows.
$cd /home/alan/autolabjs/
$./node_modules/.bin/mocha <rest of the command>

Since the soft links to all the installed node modules are available in 
/home/alan/autolabjs/node_modules/.bin directory, we can add this directory to the PATH variable
to utilise all the installed dependencies like regular shell utilities.

The following installation methods were tried out.

Working instances of Ceph OSD service

Vagrant-based solution

Container-based solution (partially working)

With some trial and error, I managed to get a stand alone Ceph Object Storage Device (OSD) service working. The instructions to replicate the installation are as follows.

Introduction

Machine learning is the field of research and applications that has branched off from artificial intelligence in 1980s. Now, machine learning researchers try to develop engineering techniques that can help applications learn from existing data to perform better.

Since, machine learning is performing approximation, we can call it a higher dimensional regression technique based on statistics.
