jilljennVon Designing a Business Card in LaTeX

My two cents using pandoc, LuaLaTeX (or XeLaTeX) and few TeX hacks. http://jill-jenn.net/résumé.pdf

jilljennVon Designing a Business Card in LaTeX

In March 2014, I attended a conference in Atlanta. In the subway, some nice guy told me I had to make business cards for the conference. So I went to some kinko and asked:

- How much for 250 business cards? - $69. - If I provide a PDF and just ask you to print and cut, can you do it for today? - Yes. - How much? - $39. Do you have the file? - Yes.

It was a lie. I opened a new LaTeX document and typed this thing, thanks to Stack Overflow.

jilljennVon Staying with the US Digital Service

If you're not a US citizen, you can build an equivalent of the USDS in the country to which you belong ;) If you are not a citizen of any country though…

jilljennVon China has wealth of data on what individuals are doing at a micro level

I was really surprised to see my Chinese friend pay the restaurant bill using WeChat, just by flashing a QR code. Which means they know all the data a typical social network can handle, but also how much you are paying where.

Can't even access using good ol' archive.org and Google Cache :D

jilljennVon Using Dijkstra's algorithm to draw maps

So much fun! We made a similar visualization in Python, using Dijkstra's algorithm to find shortest paths in Paris: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/jilljenn/tryalgo/blob/mas...

Also for trying different greedy routing algorithms. Folium helps a lot: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/jilljenn/128algos/blob/ma...

jilljennVon Math ∩ Programming

First of all, I'd be curious to plug Algolia on this blog :)

Then, maybe you should have less words per line. http://digerateur.xyz/2015/11/18/tri-bulle-ation/ is a good example.

Also, I'd love to see Jupyter notebooks made out of the coding material you cover. But maybe that's only me.

jilljennVon StackExchange System Architecture

This seems to be an orphaned page. If you click on “team”, “performance” disappears from the menu.

Apparently, it got leaked :) http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/244932
