Different Package system used in linux

Worried Of Dependency Hell in Linux?
To install a package, we need to run some commands or software center(like Ubuntu software center) and system should be connected to Internet (online) and each package has dependencies which must be satisfied to run the software properly .The offline installation of package in Linux is not easy .We cannot assure that everyone using computer is connected to Internet. It changes from person to person. To eradicate this, Microsoft windows uses .EXE files, simply double clicking it and with few clicks the software is installed and we can work with it. In Linux, it is just a dream but now the dreams come true .Yes now you can download a single package and install it offline system

FlatPak:
The package manager formerly known as xdg-app aims to provide cross platform sandboxed packages to every Linux distribution.
Advantage :
• Built with security i.e. programs are isolated from each other (sandbox).
• Support for different distribution.

Snappy:
It’s a transactional package manager originally designed and built by Canonical Ltd. A single snap can work across range of Linux environments, making snaps a universal Linux package.
Advantage :
• Deployed in Internet of Things environment.
• In Ubuntu touch devices.
• No dependency.

ORB :(My Favourite)
The other project which provide portable version of package are ORB (Open Runnable Bundle) which can be downloaded from their website and can be used from pen drives, SD card. The ORB also provides Superdeb which can be used to install software offline
Advantage :
• Fast
• Portable
• Secure

• Snapcraft.io

My experience in iOS Hackathon

This is my second hackathon, my first hackathon was on machine learning if you want to check out that article by following the below link https://thangaayyanar.blogspot.com/2018/02/what-i-learned-from-machine-learning.html So let's get started First let us discuss about the idea of what we are trying to achieve in this hackathon. From the above image you can able to know that we are going to recognize text from the image and use it to do find which field it is. we separated this idea into three modules Identify the region Recognize the text Field classification Module I : Identify the region To identify the selected region we used Vision framework ( ML framework provided by apple to detect the object ). The vision framework give us the boundary of the text region ( i.e frame - x,y,width,height ). Then using the above region we crop the selected region and pass it to the next module. Module II : Recognize the text To recognize the text we ...
