Travel is something that my wife and I love, but then again who doesn't love traveling. In order to better document our travels we decided to invest in a high quality camera. We ended up getting a Canon Powershot G5X. This camera has turned out to be worth every penny.
This camera is amazing. 1080p, 60fps, it feels beautiful on your eyes. Besides filming and taking photos while we travel, we also film our judo competitions. The camera that our team normally uses for filming fights is not bad but the G5X blew it out of the water.
Besides the great resolution, the camera is small and has pretty good battery life. When my wife and I travel around, we simply try and take as many photos as possible. Better to have too many than not enough. One problem we have experienced is that the media files become enormous. We have had to actually go out and buy extra camera memory on trips before to accommodate extensive filming.
So here are some of my favorite shots we have taken in the past few months as well as some video examples.
Unknown species of plant. Please tell me what kind of plant this is.
The internet is a sea of servers, data and people. Some of said people have managed to scrape out a living doing data analysis on just about anything they can get their hands on. Data scientists are being hired left right and center to try and improve performance and experience of users. By looking at trends they can determine things like what students in a university course are likely to fail based on their current test scores in the class. This would allow teachers to then help the students before it is too late and they fail courses. The possibilities of data analysis are nearly endless. It could be loading data into neural networks for AIs to analyze, it could be optimizing website layout to increase user visit duration or anything else you can imagine. With large amounts of data there comes many different ways to process it. You could try it in Excel (and die before you can fill everything in) or you could look to more powerful tools. In my experience with data proces
Writing register level code is something I have always viewed as both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is absolute control over almost every aspect of the system while the curse is trying to understand all of the system requirements at the lowest level. As I have previously mentioned I am working on a micro-satellite prototype for my senior electrical engineering design project. My role in the project is the communication system. I was required to select and setup the hardware and software to be able to transmit data from the satellite to the ground station with handshaking and error correction. HopeRF RFM69HCW Transceiver Module This is the transceiver chip that we decided to use. It is surprisingly inexpensive considering the features it includes. The version we are using is the 915 MHz model (ITU ISM band in the Americas) to avoid having our own spectrum license or to have to request usage of an amateur radio band. One of the instructors in the course is refusi
Reference For Me, Reference For You? I often find myself using certain commands on semi-regular basis. Not regular enough to remember but enough to know what I am looking for. This is my list of snippets that others might find useful. I will do my best to update this from time to time. On a side note, I primarily use Ubuntu 18.04 (20.04 upgrade will likely happen when it comes out). I occasionally use distros other than Ubuntu but they are typically Debian based. Variables that you want to alter will be denoted as $VAR_NAME.
