copied!<p>I'm Frances Buontempo, but you can call me Fran. I edit the ACCU's <a href="https://accu.org/index.php/journal/overload_by_cover" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Overload magazine</a> and I can program my way out of a <a href="http://accu.org/content/conf2013/paper_bag_certificate.JPG" rel="nofollow noreferrer">paper bag</a> in various ways including <a href="http://accu.org/var/uploads/journals/Overload118.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">genetic algorithms</a>, <a href="http://accu.org/index.php/journals/2023" rel="nofollow noreferrer">particle swarm optimisation</a>, Monte-Carlo simulations of <a href="http://accu.org/index.php/conferences/accu_conference_2015/accu2015_sessions#how_to_diffuse_your_way_out_of_a_paper_bag" rel="nofollow noreferrer">diffusion</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhhS_MYViW4&feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow noreferrer">evolution</a>. I have even demonstrated <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bg1nF4E9dY" rel="nofollow noreferrer">how to code you way into a paper bag</a> in the first place. I have woven these into a book about <a href="https://pragprog.com/book/fbmach/genetic-algorithms-and-machine-learning-for-programmers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">machine learning for programmers</a>, which is now available in beta.</p> <p>I've been programming in C++ for ages and also know C# and Python. I have noodled with Java, Scala, Haskell, F#, Lisp, R, and kdb.</p> <p>I keep learning about machine learning and love mathematics and loiter on the <a href="http://www.includecpp.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">includecpp</a> from time to time.</p>
