This guide will essentially adapt existing guides for 16.04 and address the areas where those guides need to be altered or worked around to achieve the desired results. This solution isn't as well supported as 16.04 so if you're just looking for an easy way to get started with machine learning, you should probably look elsewhere. Here we're all about breaking things and figuring out how …

A friend encouraged me to attend the Democratic Party's Caucus Night. To be perfectly honest, I still don't know if that event was organized by the State, County or National Democratic Party, or some combination thereof.

While driving, I can monitor incoming texts, emails, and calls with a simple glance of my wrist. I essentially don't …

A few days ago I realized how nice it would be to have a web interface to manage my various servers. So today I'm going to start building one. I'll also be using this as an excuse to try out the Python web framework Pyramid for the first time.

If you have multiple containers in a swarm service, this won't be the path for you. If you do have a docker swarm service, check out docker secrets.
