Google CEO Sundar Pichai Faces an Unprepared House Judiciary Committee

After hours of off-topic and confused questioning, partisan bickering, attempts to pin him on supposed "political bias", and almost insultingly uneducated claims and queries about Google's technology, Sundar Pichai left the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday not having had answered any actual concerns of citizens and governments worldwide.

On day 2 of Oracle Open World 2018, I listened in on the keynote about privacy and security in the modern era, which was a panel moderated by Oracle CEO Mark Hurd. I also attended workshops about using Oracle cloud technologies and AI capabilities. I also toured around the Exchange hall for a bit, where I got the chance to play around with some VR equipment that the Oracle team was working with.

What to Bring to a Hackathon

Hey, everyone. The MLH 2019 season is starting to get into full swing, and since attending hackathons is one of my favorite ways to have fun and learn at the same time, I wanted to give new hackers a basic list of stuff to bring to your first hackathon.

Digital Twin: A Bridge Between Virtual and Physical Processes

Digital twin technology might be some of the most exciting breakthrough technologies invented in the last few years, yet surprisingly few people have ever heard of the term. However, despite being overshadowed by buzzwords like “blockchain” and “artificial intelligence”, digital twin might be even more exciting.

I remember my first hackathon – It was in high school, and the second I walked in the door I regretted ever signing up. 

GWC Campus Program TA: My Experience!

This summer, I had the pleasure of being selected to be a teacher’s assistant for the Girls Who Code’s new Campus Program in Atherton, CA. I taught two courses, “iPhone App Development” and “Wearable Technology and Fashion Design”, to girls aged 12-18. It was truly a fantastic and rewarding experience.

What is an API?

In short, APIs are like hotel desk receptionists – they can’t give you all the exact information, but they can give you data that the programmers decided to make usable by outside developers. In order to do something useful with that data, you have to ask the right questions.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of C++ as Compared to Java

The programming language C++ dates back to 1979, when Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist, was researching for his Ph.D. thesis. Stroustrup began working on a programming language he called “C with Classes”; as the name implies, it was intended to be an extension of the C language. The initial idea was to add object-oriented programming to the C language, which was then and remains to be a great language for its portability, low-level functionality, and speed. His language, what would later be called C++, added classes, inheritance, function arguments, and type checking in addition to all the features of the C language.

Girls Who Code -- that time I gave a pretty good speech

This summer, I interned at Adobe through Girls Who Code. At the end of the 8 week program, during which I learned about robotics, web design, app development, and more, the 19 other girls in my program voted me as class valedictorian. Watch my speed below:

First Day at Adobe

I haven't updated my blog in way too long, but I blame that entirely on school and SAT, not my own laziness. (Procrastination? What's that??) Now it's summer, and the months of freedom and lonely togetherness have come upon us, and I promise that I will try to update my blog everyday. I don't even know if anyone will read these posts at this point, but I guess I've always blogged as a way to remember.
