A (not so) tedious blog about informatics.
Poetry is one of the most famous dependency management tools for Python, and I frequently use it in place of the basic requirements.txt to simplify version management in my libraries. Despite its widespread adoption, Poetry is not fully compliant with Python’s PEPs and this sometimes leads to challenges during the development process. One such challenge I recently encountered was integrating…
I was recently having a look at my GitHub repositories page. I sometimes tidy up my projects as I would do with my living room, trying to understand what a guest would think of me based on what I keep around. It’s interesting to realize how far I’ve gotten with respect to some of my old projects. Still, one of them caught my attention: I hadn’t noticed before, but some users starred it and even…
Today I was experimenting with a small project using Docker and Flask. I just created two identical services and exposed them on two different ports: nothing fancy. However, to my surprise, only one of the two seemed to be working.
My blog is a static website hosted on Netlify. Without delving into too much details, Netlify pulls content from my GitHub repository, builds it, and deploys it on a server. Netlify also deals with SSL for me, which is great. However, as it commonly happens with abstractions, this simplicity ends up hiding the complexities and interesting details of the process. That’s why I decided to get deeper…
Sphinx is a documentation generator that can help building great docs for our projects in a very short time. In this tutorial I will show how to use it to build docs starting from pre-existing Python docstrings.
I recently began using a Sublime Text 3 package that automatically generates inline YARD documentation for my Ruby code (Yardgen). The only problem with this package is that the key bindings it provides are overriding other Sublime Text shortcuts that I want to keep. Since this plugin is packed in a zip file, it is not possible to simply edit one of its keymap files (see Package Control -…
I just happened to download an awesome package for Sublime Text. Unluckily, this package uses a keyboard shortcut that overwrites a default binding I really need (the CTRL + Enter command that adds a line below the current line). I therefore want to restore the normal ST behaviour and, in order to do that, I need to figure out which command was originally called when using that shortcut. If a new…
Terminator is a tool to arrange multiple terminals in a single window, structured on a customizable grid. When I started using Terminator on Ubuntu, I missed two key features that I had with Guake: an hide/show shortcut, and the possibility to hide its icon from the alt-tab list of running applications.
Last update: Monday, October 19, 2015. This is a list of some available lexicons and corpora for Sentiment Analysis (also called Opinion Mining). Il will try to keep this list updated as much as possible. Have fun!
Model-driven architecture (MDA) essentially represents a different approach to programming and software development, intended to provide an abstract structure in the realization of those tasks that are usually accomplished by (more or less hardcore) manual coding. Ideally, a model driven approach is supposed to provide an easy-to-follow guideline which can improve code reusability while shortening…
