When we hear about algorithms or Machine Learning, the first things that often come to mind are the tech world: search engines, Netflix recommendations, or online advertising. But in reality, these tools are already being applied across a wide variety of…

The following video offers a fantastic visual (and musical) demonstration of how different integer sorting algorithms work showing their speed and the number of operations involved. The algorithms featured are: selection sort, insertion sort, quicksort, mergesort, heapsort, radix sort (LSD), radix…

A few years ago, if you asked a developer about GitHub (or Bitbucket), you’d likely get a clear answer: “I don’t know about it”. GitHub didn’t even exist. Today, the collaborative code repository with the octocat logo has become almost indispensable…
