COOL LINKS
What Windows 95 Changed Many, including me, were too young to remember this but back when Win95 was released, it was fabulous and Microsoft was the coolest company.
Outline.com Most news websites now require subscription and have a “paywall” blocking their articles. NYT, WSJ, Medium, Telegraph etc. all have this. It’s ridiculous! This cool site lets you read them.
MS Paint IDE This project gives MS Paint ability to highlight, compile, and execute code, with just a few clicks of a button, and only text coming from MS Paint. It is an IDE now, ridiculous but much better than many others (like Eclipse).
We're witnessing a deep learning recession It looks like the ML/Deep Learning hype is over. Every company was hiring ML engineers like crazy, but it’s finally over. Companies have started to realize the fad, that they don’t need a “deep learning strategy”.

This is more of a warning than a tip for JavaScript developers: Do not use `Array.sort()` for sorting an array of integers. Weird? Let me demonstrate:
