According to Wikipedia, image stitching or photo stitching is the process of combining multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a segmented panorama or high-resolution image. Here's what it looks like:
While writing the article 250+ Machine Learning and Deep Learning Resources I got stuck at the point where I wanted to contact kmario23 on GitHub. He was the owner of the data which was used to create the Tableau dashboard, and I was not letting go without letting him know. Unfortunately, he did not list his email address on his GitHub profile. In fact, he did not put up any contact details at all! But I was not letting go. I found his email address from GitHub, using this trick.
In the previous post, we learned how to remove password from a VBA macro in Excel, PowerPoint, or Word (both 32- and 64-bit) the hard way. In this post we will talk about how to remove the password using another macro.
VBA macro Developers always add passwords to protect their work. If a client has reached out to you to develop a solution for them, it is obvious that you would add a password to protect it. Why? Because it is your intellectual property! If the client needs to modify the macro, they should ideally reach out to you again to do the same. You can even ensure even user-level access to your VBA macros so that the client cannot distribute it to users beyond what was agreed upon.
But what if you have forgotten the password you have set for the VBA macro that you created for your client? Recreating the macro is unrealistic in terms of budget and timeline. So what then?
More often than not we are concerned with the safety of the macro instead of the users using the macro. So even though we set passwords for locking the codes of the macro, anyone who has the add-in is able to use the macro even if it is not intended for them. This is bad business strategy! Imagine creating a macro for Client A, which is now being used by Client B, C, D, and F, just because they have access to the add-in (or .xlam, ,dotm, or .ppam file for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint respectively). You are losing business.
But what if you can set username and passwords for individual users (or a group of users)? Only users who you have authorized would be able to use that add-in you created. Wouldn't it be great! Now let you make you aware beforehand that this method is not as secure as a Windows or GMail password, but it can do the work. Here's how you can set username and password for login into your MS Office add-in.
If you have ever created a macro in PowerPoint, you would know that you need to create the macro in a .pptm file, which is a PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Presentation, and then create the add-in (.ppam file) from it. This is done because once you create the add-in, you would not be able to view the codes from the add-in file. If you enable the add-in and press Alt+F11, you would see a blank window in the VBA code editor, as if the code doesn't exist!
But what if the add-in is the only file you have where you have lost the original .pptm file, and now you need to update the macro. What would you do then? Read on to know how to view the macro code using a .ppam file.
First Microsoft offered free Python courses, and now Google is offering a free courses to help promising programmers learn Kotlin, the fastest-growing programming language on Microsoft-owned GitHub.
Python is the top programming language of 2019 as per a report released by IEEE Spectrum. It has quickly become a language of choice not only among the Data Scientists, but in other fields too.
The popularity of the language is mainly because it is not that difficult to learn, has plenty of libraries, allowing developers to interface with machine-learning frameworks like Google-developed TensorFlow, and the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK). But looking at the number of courses available online, and offline, one wonders which one would be an ideal course to master Python. Here comes Microsoft to the rescue!
