Sometimes I want to create simple web applications, that automates one aspect of my life, try it and check if I will need it. For this purpose, I often use telegram bots. One-purpose project If you want to test an idea, you want to do it quickly and without extra layers of complexity. The closer implementation is to your pure, raw idea — the better. For simple projects, that are aimed to check if an idea even worth further development, you can safely ditch out staff like authorization, monitoring, or telemetry....

Sometimes, I need to show some code in my slides. It can be an internal presentation for 3-5 developers, an online meetup, or a live event. And many times, I have found myself trying to recover the lost code style configuration or to recreate a color palette from the previous presentation. I’ve decided to save all the templates and share them and some tips about code in slides with you. I hope it will help you to create code slides quicker and better....

Kotlin did an amazing job saving and including into its scope most of all valuable Java libraries, frameworks, and tools. But there is one type of tool that can’t be easily imported and reused — static code analyzers. Java developers have implemented a lot of tools for code analysis, therefore, if you have worked with Java you might be familiar with some of the following projects: PMD, checkstyle, findbugs, spotbugs, etc....

K-Means is a very common and powerful clusterization algorithm widely used in an unsupervised machine learning tasks for dividing data into categories. The only decision you have to make is the number of clusters you want your data to be divided into — k number. Sometimes you already know how many categories you need to have. It depends a lot on the type of your problem, your data, and the problems you are solving....
