Cold-start- and Warm-start-approach

In the field of machine learning, you may have come across the terms cold-start- and warm-start-approach. Roughly, here's what they are:

Cold-start-approach: Each problem is solved independently from the next, for example, a bunch of logistic regression problems are computed in order to find the best regularization parameter  λ. This can be efficient when multiple processors are used as the problems can be solved simultaneously.


Warm-start-approach: Each problem is solved using previously computed data as the starting point for the next computation. It can be done efficiently with a single processor as the problems are solved more sequentially.

Using git's bisect to find out where it all broke

When working on a project with with several contributors, it can be quite a pain if the lastest commit breaks. Using blame is one way to go, but if this doesn't yield the solution or the
place where shit went wrong, git bisect can be used to systematically track the point or commit
where things broke, which is a nice debugging tool.

Here's a nice tutorial on the matter:
