You can download the project of this blog post clicking here. Virtual environments in python (venv) are a way that we can isolate different projects from each other. Sometimes When we work with python, each time we don’t have a dependency, what we do is: sudo pip install DEPENDENCY; for example sudo pip install sympy … Continúa leyendo venv (virtual environments) in python La entrada venv (virtual environments) in python se publicó primero en Jarroba.

Tired of the freaking “UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character u’\motherf*****’ in position 69: ordinal not in range(128)“ error message? Check this awesome Jupyter Notebook I created to clarify things! :)

Here you will find a Jupyter Notebook where I explain the rationale behind the Softmax function and how it used in AI’s neural networks.

Motivation: I want to show 2 blogs in my WordPress site. A quick search on the web reveals that apparently you must install each blog separately, but I don’t want to do so. In fact I don’t need two different blogs, I just want to split posts in two different pages (by category). Solution: the […]

Motivation: I need to connect to from my Mac to a remote desktop which is running a Windows server. I want a tool to be able to do this connection by using RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). Solution: I found this software, CoRD, which works better than the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac (haven’t tried […]

Motivation: I hate standard text-based CVs. They are so boring and I want something that gives you a quick look into the main things somebody has done. And I also want it to be strongly ‘time-based’. Plus: I want a very very simple design and I need to have a functional version very very soon. […]

Motivation: protect some directories from being accessed without authorisation. Solution: using the .httaccess file. You just have to configure one and place it into the directory you want to protect. The code inside the file would look something like this: 1 2 3 4 AuthType Basic AuthName "guest" AuthUserFile "/home/user/.htpasswds/public_html/directory2storepass/passwd" require valid-user AuthType Basic AuthName […]

Motivation: I like to edit files using VIM. In my server (Bluehost) the default configuration makes my ‘tab’ to produce really width spaces and I want it to be the size of 4 spaces. Solution: I edited a file .vimrc and I placed in my home directory in my server. The content of this file […]

Motivation: in the single post page, the arrow that points to the next post appears one line below the ‘Next’ text in Safari and Chrome browsers. Solution: I don’t know if this is a ‘good’ way to solve it or if I should report it somewhere, but as a quick fix I’ve edited my child […]

Motivation: it’s pretty simple. I just wanted to create a WordPress site in Spanish. Solution: download the file from the source specified below. Extract the file es_ES.mo and place it in /wp-content/languages/. Finally, change the file wp-config.php in the root directory to point to Spanish language: define ('WPLANG', 'es_ES'); Source: http://es.wordpress.org

Motivation: In a specific website I am using the simplex theme. If one tries to place a static page as home instead of the blog, simplex keeps showing the Home page. Solution: as you can see, people have already reported this. But in the current version of the theme the line is introduced in functions.php […]

Motivation: I want to acces to my Bluehost server from my local computer, make some file copies ‘scp’ but from a script executed by Crontab, so I don’t want to introduce my password manually. Solution: Generate the key from your local machine (I don’t think it’s needed but, store the keys in ~/.ssh 1 ssh-keygen […]

Motivation: in my particular case I moved a WordPress site from Bluehost to amazon’s EC2. Permalinks were not working. Solution: I had to modify the override option from my httpd service. Go to /etc/httpd/conf and edit httpd.conf 1 2 3 4 <Directory />     Options FollowSymLinks     AllowOverride All </Directory> <Directory /> Options […]

1) Enable Mod Rewrite : sudo a2enmod rewrite 2) Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All : sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default 3) Restart Apache : sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

So far, I found myself trying to solve the same problem on different machines. – EC2 amazon Ubuntu instance. In this one I had to modify http.conf. – Ubuntu server 12. Here I installed apache2 so the approach was a bit different.

[this post will be properly edited] I was creating the new database and WordPress would tell me to install the site. Solution: dropped the database and created it from ‘mysql’ prompt. user$ mysql -u root -p’yourpassword’ -h localhost mysql> create database your_database_name; mysql> exit user$ mysql -u root -p’yourpassword’ -h localhost your_database_name

[TODO: nicely edit this post] source: http://www.noob2geek.com/linux/setup-vsftpd-debian-ubuntu/ the only thing you need to add to this tutorial is: ‘sudo chmod a-w /var/www/your_ftp_directory’ ‘sudo mkdir /var/www/your_ftp_directory/new_directory’

Un número interesante de compañías cometieron el último día del año el ya clásico error de programar sus tweets y actualizaciones en medios sociales poniendo las doce de la mañana en lugar de las doce de la noche, lo que llevó, como otros años, a múltiples situaciones absurdas de felicitaciones anticipadas y fotografías con fondo …
