Rangle x The Knowledge Society: How I Started My Journey Into Machine Learning

For most high schoolers, our world revolves around school, sports, friends, and extracurriculars. But thanks to the internet and faster chains of communication, knowledge is being distilled at exponential rates and has lowered the bar of entry into many fields. With easy access to all of this information, I began to learn more about the field of genomics and machine learning about a year ago and realized there are so many opportunities for me to learn beyond school.

You are NOT a React Native n00b 🙅

Are you a React developer who knows the basics of native development (i.e. iOS 🍎 or Android 🤖)? Then I bet you'll be able to pick up React Native easily aka you're not a noob 🙈 What I mean by that is, you'll be surprised while learning React Native how easily transferable your native development or React skills are. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

4 Major Themes in Healthcare Tech

As a passionate advocate of healthcare technology, I've consistently seen the same message over the past year - customer experience is everything. This sentiment was underscored even more after I recently attended HIMSS19 where many of the tracks touched on healthcare organizations wanting to drastically improve customer experience by creating a consumer-like experience for patients. This means focusing on modernizing organizations to provide people and patients with access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.

Everything You Need to Know About Web Components: Part 1

The core concept of a Web Component is similar to that of components in frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue. It is a reusable UI building block that encapsulates all the HTML, CSS and any JavaScript-based logic required to render it. The big difference is that instead of relying on a specific JavaScript framework it leverages technologies natively provided by the browser so that your Web Components are framework agnostic. The technologies that Web Components leverage from the browser are features such as Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, ES Modules and HTML Templates.

Thinking in nested streams with RxJS

In my first project at Rangle, I jumped into a codebase that used redux observable, a combination of RxJS and Redux for managing state and side effects like calls to our backend & 3rd party APIs. Although I was new to RxJS, I could relate many of its operators like map and take to standard JS array functions, or functions included in the Ramda library. Other RxJS operators were like nothing I had seen before, such as flatMap, and switchMap.

The Angular team at Google kicked off the New Year by releasing Angular 7.2.0 and with that came many great new features. Routing can seem like a pretty simple thing but can easily turn more complicated than expected. For performance reasons, we often want to lazy load modules to optimize our code.

Six hard-won lessons for fledgling developers

When I started out as a freshly-minted developer three years ago, I was bursting with energy and ambition. Although I suffered (and still suffer at times) from an acute case of impostor syndrome, I was keen to learn, and it seemed like there was nothing that I couldn't - and shouldn't - attempt.

NeurIPS (formerly NIPS) is a Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems or what today is often referred to as "AI". It's one of the most popular conferences in the space attracting thousands of submissions and attendants each year.
