Recently I had to do some parallel processing of nested items in Python. I would read some objects from a 3rd party API, then for each object I would have to get it's child elements and do some processing on them as well. A very simplified sketch of

At work we use Google Cloud Platform to run our machine learning jobs on multiple machines. GCP has a monitoring platform called Stackdriver which can be used to view all kinds of metrics about your VMs. Unfortunately, it doesn't collect any metrics

For work I recently needed to do something that is very similar to regexes, but with a twist: it should operate on lists of objects, not only on strings. Luckily, Python came to the rescue with REfO, a library for doing just this. My usecase was selecting phrases from Part-of-Speech

After in the last post we looked how to get the data, now we are going to start analyzing it. The first question we are interested in is how quickly do houses sell. We don't have access to actual contracts, so we will use a proxy to measure

Having moved back to Romania, I decided I would need a place to live in, ideally to buy. So we started looking online for various places, we went to see a lot of them. Lots of work, especially footwork. But, being the data nerd that I am, I wanted to

Remember my old project for processing instant messaging logs? Probably, because I wrote about it five years ago. Well, the project is only mostly dead, every once in a while I still occasionally work on it. I mostly use it as an excuse to learn tech

This post is "cu dedicatie pentru Ciprian de la Bistrita", who has asked for a search feature for some time now I didn't have a search on my blog for quite some time, because it's a static website, without any dynamic backend (except for

Acrylamid by default doesn't have image galleries. As I occasionally like to post the images that I take, especially now that I'm visiting nice places in Zurich and the surrounding area, this is quite annoying, as I don't

A friend of mine who has a restaurant kept asking me to update the menu on his site. Each week he would send me the new menu, in .doc format, I would upload it to Google Drive (I don't have Office on my computer), I would take 3
machine learning
Artificial Neural Networks are a mathematical model, inspired by the brain, that is often used in machine learning. It was initially proposed in the '40s and there was some interest initially, but it waned soon due to the inefficient training algorithms used

Recently, while working on a class project, I had a small problem with inheritance in Camelot, an excellent framework for rapid application development in Python. In the application we needed to be able to define different kinds of
programming
Nu sunt Arthur sau Merlin, așa că nu voi vorbi despre orașul Camelot, ci despre frameworkul Python, care îi pretty much everything but the kitchen sink. Cum tutorialul acesta este mai mult pentru colegii de grupă cu care lucrăm la proiect colectiv, voi presupune că este deja instalat Camelot.
