In the second part of this series I want to introduce you to the huge ecosystem of spatial objects, their implementation in R, and how to display them in the most convenient way. »
In this series of blog posts I want to show you how to retrieve, handle, and visualize publicly available data on the example of the recent election for the Bundestag (the German parliament). »
In this project some friends of mine created a python-based GUI to take photographs via a camera of a laptop or an external one, to perform a Neural style transfer using a deep convolutional neuronal network, and to print a postcard of the result. »
In this final part of the Mensacard hack trilogy, I will present the results of the Cordova app and use an Arduino NFC shield to read the information of the card. »
Computational skills are something almost every scientist has to offer nowadays. But unfortunately the least of us are actually trained in it. So most colleges (including me) took the autodidactic approach, a long road full of detours and wasted effort. For those of you who are already decent programmers but did not dived into a lot of languages and tools, I try to compile a summary of all the essential stuff I tried during my PhD in this post. »
In this post, unfortunately, I will not be able to tell you more exciting stuff about either the card itself or the app reading/writing it. Instead, I will provide you with some insights into the Cordova-based framework Ionic and why I recommend you to NOT use it. This may sounds quite boring, but this is how stories about the fugacity of software frameworks are. »
In this little series I will try to duplicate the RFID based card of my local cafeteria. On the way I will explore many nice tools and frameworks like the Android SDK, Apache Cordova, JavaScript based app programming, NFC/RFID technology, databases, and maybe even some Arduino related stuff. »
