### MATPLOTLIBRC FORMAT | |
# This is a sample matplotlib configuration file - you can find a copy | |
# of it on your system in | |
# site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc. If you edit it | |
# there, please note that it will be overridden in your next install. | |
# If you want to keep a permanent local copy that will not be | |
# over-written, place it in HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (unix/linux | |
# like systems) and C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.matplotlib | |
# (win32 systems). |

I'm not sure about this; GIS really got burned from being both a 'science' and a 'product' from the beginning, and there are blurry lines between what I think is essential and what I don't know because I never do it and am not a GIS person. Anyway.
This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.
The script is here:
#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"
#!/bin/bash | |
# This script automatically installs a bunch of command line (Git, wget, | |
# imagemagick, ...) and GUI (Dropbox, Chrome, Skype, ...) apps on a fresh | |
# Mac. | |
# | |
# It also sets up a Python Scientific Computing environment (matplotlib, | |
# scipy, iPython Notebook, ...) | |
# | |
# Requirement: Have the XCode Command Line Tools installed (download from |
#!/usr/bin/env python | |
import os, os.path, stat, sys, base64 | |
# TOTP lib inlined | |
import time, hmac, base64, hashlib, struct | |
def pack_counter(t): | |
return struct.pack(">Q", t) |
Systems Engineering (also known as Infrastructure Engineering, Operations Engineering, or DevOps) is a challenging but rewarding career path. Because Systems Engineering draws from a wide variety of smaller topics, it can be hard to know where to start and in what order to begin. This resource is intended to give you a sketch of some of the learning-paths that that can lead you to a career in Systems Engineering.
To start, let's examine a high-level list of topics that established systems engineers should have knowledge of. In each of these topics, the level of depth required to get started as a systems engineer may vary, but it's good to have a general breadth of knowledge on all of these topics.
These lists are not exhaustive, rather a good starting point to gain general knowledge.
