Zero to image recognition in 60 seconds with TensorFlow and Spring Boot
Machine learning is not new and TensorFlow isn’t new either. By open-sourcing the tech, Google has brought the ML domain within the grasp of software engineers. Google is refining TensorFlow’s toolchain continuously but the barrier to entry for developers is still high. Not only the domain of machine learning is tough to wrap a beginner’s… Continue reading Zero to image recognition in 60 seconds with TensorFlow and Spring Boot
On Engineers and Technicians
The Software Engineering field is a liberal one with a relatively low barrier to entry. Formal education is valued less than hands-on experience but that tends to be difficult to accurately measure. The industry came up with various solutions to gauge a candidate’s skills, ranging from coding tests, whiteboard interview to showing their public work… Continue reading On Engineers and Technicians
Five years of weather in a timelapse
This has been a long time coming, five years actually. Spincloud went live in January 2009 and I’ve added the temperature heatmap overlay a few months later. The heatmap and the corresponding map overlay is generated once an hour and it’s been faithfully doing so for six years. It does it by first generating an… Continue reading Five years of weather in a timelapse
A TinyGPS upgrade adding NMEA v3.0 and GLONASS support
TL;DR: Checkout my forked https://github.com/florind/TinyGPS, adding GLONASS and NMEA 3.x support and that it’s fully compatible with the original TinyGPS and Arduino. It’s been too long of a dry streak on my blog (four years!) but in the mean time I’ve been actively working on several projects. About 3,5 years ago I have reconnected with… Continue reading A TinyGPS upgrade adding NMEA v3.0 and GLONASS support
My very first mac: one with the machine
I just bought my first MacBook yesterday. My current laptop (a beaten down Toshiba Satellite) was long overdue and I realized that I didn’t want yet another boring Win notebook, it just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I’m in front of a PC every day at work and I surely don’t want to see… Continue reading My very first mac: one with the machine
