Move, Copy, Borrow

Move/Copy/Borrow Semantics in Programming

Or, ramblings and complaints about the general state of programming and other possibly related grievances.

There are 3 primary ways to pass data into functions: move, copy, or borrow (aka a reference). Since mutability is inherently intertwined with data passing (this function can borrow my data, but only if they promise not to mess with it), we end up with 6 distinct combinations.

Move, Copy, Borrow, Mutable, Immutable

Every language has its own level of support and take on these semantics:

PUT or POST JSON in a Rails 5 ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

In Rails 5, the preferred base class for testing controllers is ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest.

If you have an API that receives parameters as JSON request bodies, here are some helper methods to facilitate testing:

class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  def put_json(path, obj)
    put path, params: obj.to_json, headers: { 'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json' }
  end

Using Python 3.x and Google Cloud Vision API to OCR scanned documents to extract structured data

Using Python 3 + Google Cloud Vision API's OCR to extract text from photos and scanned documents

Just a quickie test in Python 3 (using Requests) to see if Google Cloud Vision can be used to effectively OCR a scanned data table and preserve its structure, in the way that products such as ABBYY FineReader can OCR an image and provide Excel-ready output.

The short answer: No. While Cloud Vision provides bounding polygon coordinates in its output, it doesn't provide it at the word or region level, which would be needed to then calculate the data delimiters.

On the other hand, the OCR quality is pretty good, if you just need to identify text anywhere in an image, without regards to its physical coordinates. I've included two examples:
