How To Understand HTML and CSS For Beginners

New technologies are evolving rapidly. Some of the newest solutions are gaining popularity every day. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is nothing new, but perfecting it with machine learning may shed a new light on OCR. It’s obviously a broad subject. Nevertheless, I’ll try to briefly introduce you to the machine learning within OCR implementation on Android. I’ll also present some of its functions, basing on an easily available software called Google Firebase ML Kit.

We all have names for everything – our cats, dogs and maybe even that cow we are about to kill. But how come we do not name our CSS codes? The sad thing is that so many programmers and developers tend not to name the CSS codebase they are using.

If you are following the crypto news at all, there has been a lot of activity around Bitcoin and various factions of its users who are “forking” the protocol resulting in many different “Bitcoins”: Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, (and Bitcoin Silver?) and the upcoming duel for market share between Bitcoin Segwit1x vs Segwit2x. I would like to briefly explain what forking means from the perspective of a blockchain and its users. I’ll conclude with some thoughts on why we are seeing so much forking and explain the tradeoffs inherent in such a decision.

What the fork? A tale of many chains.

In this post I discuss what I learned after seven months of organizing one of the largest cryptocurrency developer meetups in the heart of Silicon Valley — specifically I discuss three lessons, shedding insight on how we overcame the most significant obstacle faced by meetups, oss, and blockchain projects: building a community.

The advantage of bubbles, when they pop, is that they make it possible to do a big spring cleaning. And, on the side of the mining services provider, we can say that the purge was&nbsp;severe.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently concluded that, at the current rate of human activity relating to global greenhouse gas emission pathways, we are facing a threat of a <a href="https://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_spm_final.pdf" target="_blank">1.5°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels</a>. This may not sound like a large number, but the consequences are dire — think rising sea levels leading to flooding of lowland areas, degradation of tundras and rainforests, and increased CO₂ concentration in oceans leading to mass bleaching of coral reef ecosystems. That last one hits particularly close to home, being a scuba-diver myself.

You may not have heard of the year-old startup known as <a href="https://basis.io/" target="_blank">Basis</a>. But the <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/cryptocurrency" target="_blank">cryptocurrency</a> company based out of Hoboken, New Jersey has roared out of the ICO gates and raised over $133 million in the past year to go toward creating a new stablecoin for the masses. The token (formerly known as Basecoin) is a <a href="https://medium.com/samsa-ai/stablecoins-carrying-the-way-to-the-crypto-promised-land-c124b2db8ea3" target="_blank">stablecoin</a> that is programmed to maintain its value closely to the value of one US dollar at all times. In cryptocurrency, it is not always a practical or available option to simply trade Bitcoin for dollars and vice versa. Basis works to solve this problem. We at the investing platform, <a href="http://lvl.co/?r=CxEGyn1x" target="_blank">Level</a>, recently spoke with them to better understand their intended and expected purpose for the future of cryptocurrency. The Basis team explains,

Infrastructure as Code is one of the cool things right now. Every DevOps-related conference in the past two years had a talk or two about the subject, and that’s a good thing.

When reading about <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/bitcoin" target="_blank">Bitcoin</a> or other <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/blockchain" target="_blank">blockchain</a> technologies, the phrases Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake are often mentioned. In the case of Bitcoin, Proof-of-Work as one of the reasons for its astronomical energy consumption. These “Proof” algorithms are used by cryptocurrency networks to reach a consensus of the current state of their respective blockchains in a process called mining. Put simply, mining is the process in which a group of unaffiliated, distributed transaction processors validate the transactions that have taken place on the network. Before I get into Burst and what its Proof-of-Work Algorithm means and why it’s significant, I will describe what these other “Proof” algorithms mean and how they came to be.

I grew up in <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/lisbon" target="_blank">Lisbon</a>. Not in the poster picture narrow streets of the old neighborhood of Alfama, nor the glamorous and nostalgia prone Chiado, but in a surrounding area, where I could have access to the bustling center of the city in few minutes but also retreat to a quieter place, whenever I wanted to.
