In this article we'll go over how the run-length encoding algorithm works, what it's used for, and how to implement its encode and decode functions in Python.
Run-length encoding (RLE) is a very simple form of data compression in which a stream of data is given as the input (i.
In Git, and most other VCS tools, branching is one of the main constructs that really make it useful for software development. These branches are almost like a new copy of your code at the current state, which can then be used to develop new code.
For example, whenever you
In one of my previous articles I covered how you can copy objects in JavaScript. Copying an object is a pretty complicated endeavor, given that you would also have to be able to copy every other data type that could be in the object. But what if you're just copying
The cURL utility is a command line program often bundled with Unix/Linux distributions and Mac OSX operating systems. It allows you to send just about any type of HTTP request via the command line, which is great for many things, ranging from posting data to a REST API to
Introduction

SSH, or Secure Shell, is a very common way to securely access remote machines, typically via the command line. It aims at ensuring that your connection, and therefore all data passed, is free from eavesdropping. Because of this, there are quite a few checks built-in to the popular SSH clients,
