Day 44: Finally Getting Comfortable

j8ahmed — Sat, 06 Aug 2022 15:21:44 +0000

Continued my web security studies. I did some review before moving on with the rest of the PassportJS playlist. It has taken a few days but I am finally moving away from the exposure phase and more towards the comprehension phase of learning. I just have to keep going and eventually this will just be like everything I have learned before. Not much else to report. A lot of refining with the package...

Day 32: I Need To Reproduce a Library!

j8ahmed — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 18:41:02 +0000

I am still sick and still pushing through the Java tutorial. While I was being introduced to some of the standard Java libraries I had the thought. I have NEVER reproduced a standard library on my own. It’s similar to my lack of experience building out core data structures. Considering that I’ve imported tons of libraries I should probably at some point learn how to build them out myself and...

The second day and I’m still struggling to manage but I made some progress. I definitely need to timeslot so that I’m not up late during the week writing blog posts. Okay, so first and foremost here are the highlights of what I did. Here is the problem from the lecture: My solution looked like this: So, I tried to do some aliasing and my original solution was A LOT uglier than the what you can I...

Day 91: It’s Not Easy Being ‘Self-Taught’

j8ahmed — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 04:37:30 +0000

Still studying Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). I made a bit of progress but I am still only at the stage of understanding the model. I am not sure how the code would look. Thankfully, I found an example but it is using frameworks which don’t thoroughly break down the code. It is tough but that is just part of the ‘Self-Taught’ game. When you go ‘Self-Taught’ you never really get material...

Day 90: Recurrent Neural Network Basics

j8ahmed — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 04:18:00 +0000

I’m finally back to what I want to focus on. How to build a great “Rock Paper Scissors” Bot for my freeCodeCamp project. This has been the longest I have ever spent on a freeCodeCamp certification project. I have failed many times but I think I am finally on the right track. I guess I am failing forward and making progress. Now, about the Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). I am only vaguely...
