The people who created C sure loved keeping the number of keywords low, and today I’m going to show you yet another place you can use the static keyword in C99.

You might have seen function parameter declaration for array parameters that include the size:

void foo(int myArray[10]);

The function will still receive a naked int *, but the [10] part can serve as documentation for the people reading the code, saying that the function expects an array of 10 ints.

But, you can actually also use the keyword static between the brackets:

void bar(int myArray[static 10]);

This tells the compiler that it should assume that the array passed to bar has at least 10 elements. (Note that this rules out a NULL pointer!)

In a nutshell, it is a type of statistical model used for tagging abstract “topics” that occur in a collection of documents that best represents the information in them.

Many techniques are used to obtain topic models. This post aims to demonstrate the implementation of LDA: a widely used topic modeling technique.

Revised and tested several options, the conclusion is to use shaarli.

This article introduces how to build a Python and Flask based web application for performing text analytics on internet resources such as blog pages. To perform text analytics I will utilizing Requests for fetching web pages, BeautifulSoup for parsing html and extracting the viewable text and, apply the TextBlob package to calculate a few sentiment scores.

After 6 years, I removed Docker from all my home servers. apt purge -y docker-ce Why? This was triggered by a recurring incident I faced where the Docker daemon was using 100% CPU on multiple cores…

Stretched for time, some households are starting to operate more like businesses.

Steven Rostedt wanted to do a little housekeeping, specifically with the function tracing code used in debugging the kernel. Up until then, the kernel could enable function tracing using either GCC's -pg flag or a combination of -pg and -mfentry. In each case, GCC would create a special routine that would execute at the start of each function, so the kernel could track calls to all functions. With just -pg, GCC would create a call to mcount() in all C functions, although with -pg coupled with -mfentry, it would create a call to fentry().

fd, is a simple, fast and user-friendly tool meant to simply perform faster compared to find, but it not meant to completely replace find, but rather provide a better performance.

A simple walkthrough of what RNNs are, how they work, and how to build one from scratch in Python.

A couple of years back, even researchers would wave off using DNA to store data as something too futuristic to have any practical value. Today, you can extend PostgreSQL with the right software and bio-chemical modules, and run SQL on DNA.

A communication system built on MQTT consists of the publishing server, a broker and one or more clients. The publisher does not require any configuration concerning the number or location of subscribers receiving messages. Likewise, subscribers do not need publisher-specific setup. There may be more than one broker on the system distributing messages.

For the past few years, I've been building and operating a large distributed system: the payments system at Uber. I've learned a lot about distributed architecture concepts during this time and seen first-hand how high-load and high-availability systems are challenging not just to build, but to operate as well.
