Problem: a recipe calls for 250ml double cream (48% fat) and 100ml whole milk (3.5% fat). I only have double cream (48% fat) and semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat). How much do I adjust the double cream by to get the same quantity liquid and fat content? It’s a simple simultaneous equation, so solving it with Sympy is overkill, but developers do overkill best, right? So: >>> linsolve([Eq(x + y, 350), Eq(x*. [Read More]

Scikit-learn is a great python library for all sorts of machine learning algorithms, and really well documented for the model development side of things. But once you have a trained classifier and are ready to run it in production, how do you go about doing this? There’s a few managed services that will do it for you, but for my situation these weren’t a good fit. We just wanted to deploy the model onto a modest sized Digital Ocean instance, as a REST API that can be externally queried. [Read More]
