Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

I was drawn to programming, science, technology and science fiction
ever since I was a little kid. I can't say it's because I wanted to
make the world a better place. Not really. I was simply drawn to it
because I was drawn to it. Writing programs was fun. Figuring out how
nature works was fascinating. Science fiction felt like a grand
adventure.
Then I started a software company and poured every ounce of energy
into it. It failed. That hurt, but that part is ok. I made a lot of
mistakes and learned from them. This experience made me much, much

Concise guide to golang/dep

Overview

This gist is based on the information available at golang/dep, only slightly more terse and annotated with a few notes and links primarily for my own personal benefit. It's public in case this information is helpful to anyone else as well.

I initially advocated Glide for my team and then, more recently, vndr. I've also taken the approach of exerting direct control over what goes into vendor/ in my Dockerfiles, and also work from isolated GOPATH environments on my system per project to ensure that dependencies are explicitly found under vendor/.

At the end of the day, vendoring (and committing vendor/) is about being in control of your dependencies and being able to achieve reproducible builds. While you can achieve this manually, things that are nice to have in a vendoring tool include:

Using Python 3.x and Google Cloud Vision API to OCR scanned documents to extract structured data

Using Python 3 + Google Cloud Vision API's OCR to extract text from photos and scanned documents

Just a quickie test in Python 3 (using Requests) to see if Google Cloud Vision can be used to effectively OCR a scanned data table and preserve its structure, in the way that products such as ABBYY FineReader can OCR an image and provide Excel-ready output.

The short answer: No. While Cloud Vision provides bounding polygon coordinates in its output, it doesn't provide it at the word or region level, which would be needed to then calculate the data delimiters.

On the other hand, the OCR quality is pretty good, if you just need to identify text anywhere in an image, without regards to its physical coordinates. I've included two examples:

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

A simple shell script to quickly / easily install "pacaur" on archlinux
#!/bin/sh
#
# !!! IMPORTANT !!!
# As of 2017-12-14, pacaur is unmaintained (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1755144#p1755144)
# For alternatives see the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Active
# pacaur seems to get occasional updates to fix breaking changes due to pacman updates though.
#
# If you are new to arch, I encourage you to at least read and understand what
# this script does befor blindley running it.
# That's why I didn't make a one-liner out of it so you have an easier time
