DSB #135

Hi,

and surprise, DSB is here! So get comfy and read everything! I would recommend an intro to linear programming from Education, since I personally consider OR-Tools the best package there is for that purpose. Very intriguing is also a sceptical article about personalization from Pop. It’s an unusual opinion to read when some people are able to use crazy words like hyper-personalization.

And as always, enjoy your reading.
