I could not say this more than what the title says. I had a very severe blow to my already damaged left knee. First a bit of history here and here. It was on the 28th of September where I went for my first ever defensive sport training called "VingTsun". Inspired by my Physio friend who is a beginner, I …

Recently, I can say that I made very good progress playing across the neck of my guitar. I memorized few pentatonic shapes, but I was stuck the whole while on those specific boxes. The whole thing did not make any sense to me. Just wandering within those boxes is not pleasant music. Frustrated, I looked at Youtube for …

I have been using a Mac for over 7 years now, I have used about 3 Mac's where the 3rd one is still working fine. I have kids at home, they feed food to it and because of that the keys on my Mac is out of order. So it was time for me to have some privacy and get one machine for myself. Looking around the latest …

Recently I have been exploring more around the Kubernetes tooling, especially the ones that can do some pre-validation on the schema and the state of my Kubernetes deployment resources or more precisely the YAML files. I came across a few of them like conftest, kubeval etc and a wrapper around such set of tools like …

I remember my interest to play the guitar started in the year 2012 and without any hesitation, I went and purchased my first ever electric guitar, the Ibanez GSA 60 and a small Marshall amplifier. I'm not sure at that point in time if it was the right decision to start with an electric guitar but as I recollect, I …

I also enjoy entertaining her for some time. So there were a few balloons in the hall, which I casually like to kick. As I kicked one with my right leg, my left …

Some time around the summer of 2019, I came across a blog post where I read about GitOps and I was flattened by the idea itself and ever since I wanted to give it a try on some serious projects but never had the chance to do it professionally. I had a chat about this with many of my colleagues at work and my team, they …

I have been reading through the architectures of Neural Networks and wanted to grasp the idea behind calculating the weights in a Neural Network and as you can see in the image below is a simple 2 node 2 layer Neural Network. As you can see that for simplicity’s sake, I have just used a 2 node 2 layer network, but the …

I have been wondering on how the math behind a Linear regression works as in most of the ML books that you encounter, the focus will be on giving you a linear equation and just plugging this equation in a Python library to solve for the slope and bias and then use it to predict the new values. It is very rare that they …

So as of today, I managed to clock on record a total of 1000 Km with my Trek Remedy 8. It is obviously much higher than that as for several rides I haven't turned my Sigma odometer device. But for the record, the mileage is 1000 Km for this year so far. I have explored much of the singles trails around my area! It was …
