Perhaps my quest for an ultimate IDE ends with Emacs. My goal was to use Emacs as full-flagged Python IDE. This post describes how to setup Anaconda on Emacs. My Setup: OS: Trisquel 8.0 Emacs: GNU Emacs 25.3.2 Quick Key Guide (See full guide) : C-x = Ctrl + x M-x = Alt + x RET = ENTER 1. Downloading and installing Anaconda 1.1 Download: Download Anaconda from here. You should download Python 3.x...
Cryptocurrencies are changing the way people buy or sell anonymously. But they are plagued by hype, regulatory issues and possible abuse. As a result of so much buzz around the term, many think cryptocurrency and blockchain are same things. That is not true; Cryptocurrencies is just one of the many blockchain applications. Blockchain is the technology that enables cryptocurrencies but it...
In this tutorial we’ll learn how to create a very basic Blockchain with Python. We will create a Blockchain with just 30 lines of code! The aim is to introduce you to Blockchain programming without getting into inessential details. You should already know fundamentals of Blockchain, if not then you may want to read this article first. You should also know basic Python programming and object...
The temptation to earn Bitcoins is understandable as Bitcoin is valued as world’s most expensive currency at current rates. But who mints Bitcoins? How are they distributed? and most importantly how can you earn them? these are the questions we will answer in this beginner’s guide to bitcoin mining. But let me give you a little headache first, remember this quote “Bitcoins cannot be...
Proof of Work (PoW) is a consensus algorithm used in the original Bitcoin implementation. In a Blockchain system new transactions are periodically added by packaging these transactions in a block. This block is then added to the Blockchain. Please read What is Blockchain Technology if you don’t already know. Background Users send each other digital tokens (e.g. Bitcoins). All such...
What is blockchain technology? is perhaps the most buzzing question in tech right now. A blockchain as the name suggests is a chain of blocks. Each block contains some information; a blockhain can store complete information about a financial transaction, a contract or a medical record. Important property of blockchain is that the data stored in it cannot be modified, backdated or tempered by any...
MapReduce is a great approach to problem solving. It is very popular too, but MapReduce examples other than word-count are scarce on the web. This article describes MapReduce problem solving that is beyond word-count.
Arduino pushbutton example shows how to read a pushbutton with Arduino Uno. Pushbuttons (also spelled push-buttons) are widely used in calculators, phones and appliances. It closes the circuit when pushed and keeps it close until it is pressed. As soon as you release the button the circuit is open again. Here, we are going to use a push-button to flash built-in LED on Arduino Uno. The circuit is...
In this article we’ll learn displaying hello world on LCD; Interfacing 16×2 LCD with Arduino Uno and display some text on it. Writing Hello World pleases the gods of any new programming language that you want to learn. But in case of Arduino it is the LED blinking program that is generally written first. Any ways, Hello World can certainly be second if not the first so let’s roll...
I teach computer science at university of Kutch since 2011, Kutch is the western most district of India. At iDevji, I share tech stories that excite me. You will love reading the blog if you too believe in the disruptive power of technology. Some stories are purely technical while others can involve empathetical approach to problem solving using technology.
