Problem

Given the heads of two singly linked-lists headA and headB, return the node at which the two lists intersect. If the two linked lists have no intersection at all, return null.

For example, the following two linked lists begin to intersect at node c1:

What is Chain of Responsibility?

• A behavioral design pattern that lets you pass requests along a chain of handlers
• Upon receiving a request, each handler decides either to process the request or to pass it to the next handler in the chain.

Problem

An Abstract Factory design pattern solves the problem of creating entire product groups without specifying their concrete classes.

Here might be some thoughts on your mind right now:

• I want to do a Masters program in Cyber Security
• I believe Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)’s Masters of Science in Security by Design would be a suitable and ideal Masters program that I would want to pursue
• I don't know how to prepare for it

Fret not! Whether you are an undergraduate or a working professional, this article will help you to prepare!

In this article, I’ll be going through 5 tips:

1. Education
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. Statement of Interest/Motivation
4. Learn to code
5. Interview Round

Without any delay, lets…

Why?

One key advantage of the Go programming language is concurrency support out of the box through the use of GoRoutines. As you all know, GoRoutines can support parallelism support. However, parallelism is valuable in certain scenarios such as getting prediction from multiple machine learning models at the same time. Concurrency, in that case, would not be ideal.

Now the question is what does a simple parallelism pipeline look like? In this article, I will talk about an example on how we can achieve parallelism using GoRoutines.

How

Here are the components that form this example,

• Consumer/Source
• Worker 01
• Worker 02
• Producer/Sink

Whether you are doing machine learning NLP engineering and/or research, you may come across Named Entity Recongition (NER) topics. Some of you may be working on proof of concepts (PoCs) that involves integrating one of those open source NLP frameworks into an actual model inference platform.

Some burning questions could be,

• I don’t have enough annotated/labelled data to train a NER model, but I still need to produce deliverable, how can I take existing models to showcase?
• I don’t have the time to research on existing popular NLP frameworks, I want to know how they perform especially on NER topics.

You may be a follow engineer/developer scratching your head on how to scale your machine learning micro services pipeline. You may have read an article on using a streamer device for parallelized pipeline messaging[1] but do not know how to test the source code or extending to multiple services. This article extends on the knowledge and attempts to bridge the knowledge gaps.

Your intended machine learning micro services pipeline may involve multiple services that need to be scaled accordingly. This could consist of a service that produces data to multiple worker services in parallel. …

Backstory

Battleship is an exciting game where the player will attempt to select locations where the ship is placed. The ship location is obviously hidden from the player. In this simple implementation of the game, the player will input the X and Y coordinates of the playing grid. Each time the player does not hit the hidden ship, an “X” will be displayed on the playing grid. …
