Makefiles are one of the most useful tools I’ve been working with. I can say that it can be useful for lots of projects (with any language). What is Makefile? Makefiles are essentially a place where you can store your most frequently used commands in one place. They make repetitive tasks easier by creating short commands. Let’s take a look at sample file: install_packages: pip install -r requirements.txt generate_deps: pip-compile requirements....
I’ve recently found Caddy as a tool to assign urls to my docker services and I’m quite happy with it.

Let’s say that you want to assign your url like newservice.amirpourmand.ir to a service in a VM with a public IP address. I’ll go you through it. Also, It has multiple benefits....
Recently, I wanted to have an easy way to send azure Application Insights notifications into Slack. Actually I am writing this tutorial two month after setting up this workflow and I hope I don’t forget anything. This method has been working pretty good in the last couple of months.

Some days ago, I wanted to record a Google Meet session as a podcast and I didn’t want to pay for just recording the call, neither to google nor third party services.

I’ve always wanted a clean local environment to install python packages in it. To me, it should have multiple requirements: 1- Installing packages should be easy enough. I mean I just want to use pip install that and not worry about anything else. 2- Switching between python environments should be easy. If I happen to need multiple environments in my system, I want to be able to easily switch between them....

Search Log files In order to search a folder to see if a string exists in the whole folder: grep -ir "string to search" . Show File and Folder Size To analyze file size, there are several ways....
I’ve been thinking for some time about this and I want to share my thoughts about it. What are the elements of a deep learning method? If I read a paper in DL world, what questions I should ask to see if I understand the paper properly? This may seem trivial for some people as they intuitively understand it by reading some papers. Specifically, I’ve been reading YOLO-series papers and I always had a question in mind....
