It was a fairly slow news day, but there are still some good articles to read. At Atomic Object, they talk about using the “penny game” to show why your team is falling behind. Wolfram has announced their new programming lab. This could be a great way for people to learn something new. On Pyevolve, there is an excellent post on using word vectors and t-SNE visualization on the Voynich manuscript.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
