Get to know Penguin Bots, the winners of Global Travel Hackathon

Tue, 29 Oct 2019 18:10:00 +0000

13 locations, 250+ people, more than 50 teams all around the globe, and in most places, 24 hours of hacking. This is how we celebrated World Tourism Day at Kiwi.com.

Everyone’s eyes are fixed on laptop screens. From time to time, a team gathers around a whiteboard or a wall covered with post-its. They have quick brainstorming sessions and update their roadmaps. Some refill their tenth cup of coffee, some rely on RedBulls.

A pre-talk checklist for the stressed presenter’s peace of mind

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 21:17:00 +0000

Here is a quick little checklist I thought I should share. I use it to make sure everything goes smoothly during my presentations.

The only caveat is that you might need to copy and adapt the list for your own hardware and software setup. I use a MacBook with only USB-C ports, and I write my slides in reveal.js.

Machine Learning Weekend: entry task review

Fri, 27 Oct 2017 22:21:00 +0000
