Launching a Jupyter Notebook with TensorFlow using Docker

This article will walk you through setting up a Jupyter Notebook environment with TensorFlow pre-installed using Docker. Docker allows you to run isolated containerized applications, providing a consistent environment regardless of your underlying operating system.

Prerequisites:

  • Docker: Ensure you have Docker installed and running on your system. You can download and install it from the official Docker website (https://www.docker.com/).

Steps:

  1. Start Docker: Open your Docker application (Docker Desktop for Windows/macOS or the command line if using Linux).

  2. Run the Jupyter Notebook container:

    • For macOS/Linux: Open your terminal application and run the following command:

      docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -v "${PWD}":/home/jovyan/work jupyter/tensorflow-notebook

    • For Windows: Open your Command Prompt application and run the following command:

      docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -v "%CD%":/home/jovyan/work jupyter/tensorflow-notebook

    Explanation of the command flags:

    • -it: This flag allows you to interact with the container in a terminal window.
    • --rm: This flag removes the container automatically after it exits.
    • -p 8888:8888: This flag maps port 8888 on your host machine to port 8888 inside the container, making the Jupyter Notebook server accessible.
    • -v "${PWD}":/home/jovyan/work (or -v "%CD%":/home/jovyan/work for Windows): This flag mounts your current working directory on the host machine to the /home/jovyan/work directory inside the container. This allows you to access your local files and notebooks within the Jupyter Notebook environment. You can remove this flag if you don't need access to your local files.

  3. Access Jupyter Notebook:

    Once the container starts, you will see a message displayed in the terminal with a URL similar to:

    http://127.0.0.1:8888/lab?token=...

    Copy this URL and paste it into your web browser's address bar. This will launch the Jupyter Notebook interface in your browser.

Additional Notes:

  • By default, the Jupyter Notebook server runs on port 8888. If this port is already in use, you can specify a different port by modifying the -p flag in the command (e.g., -p 8889:8888).
  • The jupyter/tensorflow-notebook image used in the command provides a Jupyter Notebook environment with TensorFlow pre-installed. This allows you to start working on your machine learning projects right away.

Further Exploration:

I hope this article helps you in launching a Jupyter Notebook with TensorFlow using Docker!

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft

App: Calculate your job experience or age in years

Usually, all of those who works have to put years of experience on their resume or curriculum vitae. But 90% people put it wrong when they convert their experience in years only. Although they know the exact number of months and years but the conversion, they do is wrong. This happens because there are 12 months while the digit after decimal would be 0-9, i.e., 10 digits. Which means that we have to represent the number of months in terms of year. So here I have provided a small gadget to calculate it. Just put the date when you had started working in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. You can also calculate your age as well with this tool by putting your date of birth in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. As an alternative, you can use the hassle-free and simple to use  Date Differentiator  micro webapp. Bookmark it so you may easily access it later.

How to convert JIRA story into sub-task or defect?

Many times we entangled in the situation where we have made a  story  in JIRA but later on realised that it should have to be  defect  or in other case,  sub-task  of another  story . Story → Sub-task So the workaround for converting the story into defect is given below: Open your  story Click on  more  option Click on the  Convert to sub-task  option in the dropdown You would be asked to choose  Parent  story, so chose relevant story After submit, your  story  gets converted into  sub-task Story → Defect Now if you want the story to be converted into defect, then you should first convert it into sub-task. Thereafter, you can convert that sub-task into defect as given below: Open the  sub-task Click on  more  option Click on the  Convert to issue  option in the dropdown You would be asked to fill up relevant fields required for raising a  defect , fill them up as required After submit, your  sub-task  gets converted into  defect .
