Embracing the Analog: The Power of Pen and Paper in a Digital World

Many moons ago, while grappling with some intricate technical conundrum, I was struck by a profound realization: my abilities were inadequate. Inadequate to fulfill my ambitions and chart my course in the technical sphere. Perhaps, I was then in the throes of the impostor syndrome. However, that was the catalyst for the journey of self-discovery and growth that followed.                                         Over the years, I have faced many trials and tribulations as a freelancer, and occasionally, as an entrepreneur. In that time, I have progressed from being an ingénue to a jaded veteran. The passage of time has taught me to navigate unknown territory, ambiguous situations, and probabilistic outcomes. Here are three strategies that I have developed to surmount these challenges: The Dual Desk Approach: I maintain two separate workstations - a digital desk equipped ...

Watered fermented fenugreek: How it impacts cow dung bricks

🤔 Yes, it's possible that fermented fenugreek mixed with water could increase the rate of the chemical reaction between lime and cow dung material. When fenugreek is fermented, it produces organic acids such as acetic acid and lactic acid, which can act as catalysts and lower the activation energy required for the reaction. Additionally, the fermentation process can produce carbon dioxide gas (CO2), which can react with lime to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3), strengthening the final material. However, it's important to note that the exact effect of fermented fenugreek on the properties of cow dung brick would depend on the specific conditions and concentrations used. Further research and testing would be needed to fully understand its effects. 💡                                                             ...

How to Measure the Quality of Images When You Don't Have Gold Standard Images

What to do When You Don't Have Gold Standard Images to Compare Your Processed Images How to Measure the Quality of Images When You Don't Have Gold Standard Images to Compare In the realm of image analysis and processing, quantifying image quality forms a crucial cornerstone of various methodologies. This is especially true when there's a lack of gold standard images or ground truth to set the benchmark. In such scenarios, we're often left asking: how can we measure image quality objectively or subjectively? Let's delve into this topic with an emphasis on establishing robust and reliable metrics for image quality analysis. Objective Measurement of Image Quality Without Ground Truth Objective quality metrics quantify the difference between two images based on numerical methods. But, how do we assess image quality objectivel...
