Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Using 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:

####### 1. A low-resolution photo of road signs

	# Find all tables and when they were last vacuumed/analyzed, either manually or automatically
	SELECT relname,
	last_vacuum,
	last_autovacuum,
	last_analyze,
	last_autoanalyze
	FROM pg_stat_all_tables
	WHERE schemaname = 'public'
	ORDER BY last_vacuum DESC;

	#!/bin/bash

	sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

	sudo apt-get install git

	git clone https://github.com/jakedahn/dotfiles
	cd dotfiles

	./scripts/atom-kali.sh

	// What system are we connected to?
	systeminfo \| findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"

	// Get the hostname and username (if available)
	hostname
	echo %username%

	// Get users
	net users
	net user [username]
