In the last few years YAML, which stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language, has become very popular for use in storing data in a serialized manner, typically configuration files. Since YAML essentially is a data format, the YAML specification is fairly brief. Thus, the only functionality required of YAML libraries...

In computer science and electronics, there are quite a few ways to represent data, often called encoding schemes. Each has its own purpose, advantages, and disadvantages. In this short article we'll take a look at one-hot encoding and see what it is, how it compares to other similar schemes, and...
In Git, branches allow you to create different versions of your code from a snapshot in the repository. So if you have a new feature to develop, a bug to fix, or code to rewrite, you can easily create a branch that won't affect the master branch of your codebase....
As your project changes over time, at some point you'll likely need to remove a file, or an entire directory, from the repository. Since this involves more than changing the contents of a file, Git has a special command to handle removing files, which also takes some important flags depending...
When starting a new project, one of the first things you'll find yourself needing to do is creating a new Git repository. This not only helps you share the project with coworkers, or publicly, but it's also a great way to track updates to a young project that is bound...
One of the many benefits of using version control software like Git is how easily you can copy the entire contents and history of a project with a simple command in your terminal. Once on your local machine, you can then make the changes/additions/deletions that you want, and...
When you want Git to track a file in a repository, you must explicitly add it to the repo, which can become a bit cumbersome if you have many files. Another option would be to add/stage all files to the repo, which is much quicker. In general it is...
In the Git version control system you're able to push and pull code from any number of remote repositories. This is beneficial for when you want to pull in updates from someone else's fork of a project, for example. Or you may just want to have a way to link...
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....
