downloading folders from google drive.

I wanted to download some course material on RL shared by the author via Google drive using the command line.  I got a bunch of stuff using wget a folder in google drive was a challenge. I looked it up in SO which gave me a hint but no solution. I installed gdown using pip and then used: gdown --folder --continue https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1V9jAShWpccLvByv5S1DuOzo6GVvzd4LV if there are more than 50 files you need to use --remaining-ok and only get the first 50. In such a case its best to download using the folder using the UI and decompress locally. Decompressing from the command line created errors related to unicode but using the mac UI I decompressed without a glitch.

Data Science Glossary - R

R
a statistical package and development language.
Raw data
is data that has not been cleaned up, filtered or processed. Imputing is a technique for replacing missing entries in raw data in such cases where the next steps of processing cannot handle missing data. An alternative approach may be to filter out missing data. Other issues may be fixing syntax errors, and removing entries with bad/impossible values and recording variables. Raw data is often streamed into an ETL tool which is used to improve its quality before it is further processed.
Remarketing
also called retargeting is an advertising strategy for targeting users groups based on buying signals signals such as: ads clicked, pages viewed, product added/removed/bought and keywords searched. Google and other vendors offer dynamic remarketing frameworks as well as tools for It is possible to re-target both Google's search, and display networks. Re-targeting can be more cost effective by providing significantly better CTR and conversion rates when the signals used are robust indicators of buyer interest.

Referring Sites
Other Websites that refer or send visitors to your Website are called referring sites. Knowing where your traffic is coming from is an easy way to increase your ROI. You can focus more resources on sites that are referring more traffic, or re-evaluate your campaigns on sites that are not driving much traffic.
Regular Expression Match
One of three different match types that Google Analytics defines to identify a URL for either a goal or a funnel. Special characters can be used that enable wildcard and flexible matching. This is useful if your visitors are coming from multiple sub domains or if you use dynamic session IDs.
Request URI
The string at the end of a URL after the ".com" in your Web address is the request URI.
Returning Visitor
A returning visitor is a user who has been to your Website and has come back. When visitors return to a Website, it demonstrates that the Website is of interest to them.
Reporting
The component of the Google Analytics platform that gives you access to your processed data via the Google Analytics interface or the APIs.
ROI
A set of protocols and tools designed to extract data from your Google Analytics account into custom scripts or programs for more automated and efficient reporting and analysis. API is short for Application Programming Interface.

Moodle <=< Mediawiki SUL integration - first thoughts

Image
SUL is  Wikipedia's  Single User Login system The goal is to use it to authenticate moodle users there is one caveat - what happen if  the moodle user has no account. Moodle and MediaWiki account creation require different information. Since we'd like to use MediaWiki's standard which is highly permissive. It is necessary to change  moodle's requirements. Challenges Moodle does not explicitly define an object for setting registration requirements.  This needs to be accomplished by admins via edit a number of files manually.  errors will place the users in a limbo/blocked state... This is implemented differently on different version of moodle. This will break if the changes are overwritten by a system is upgrade. Directions Ideally Moodle should have a registration policy  object which allows the admin to define which fields are required and if they need to be unique . For example Moodle complains if different users share an email adr

Insight into progressive web apps

Some notes from a Meetup on PWAs in January 2016. I feel quite knowledgable on PWA but I wanted to learn more on implementing service worker. I ended up adding some research and collecting some great resources. However I ended up getting more detailed materials on the service worker based on google's developers docs. Also the resources have been expanded. https://www.meetup.com/The-Future-is-Javascript/events/246346861/ Service worker Service Workers Its just a simple JavaScript file that sits between you and the network – It runs in another thread – It has no access to DOM – It intercepts every network request (including cross domain) Entry point: self.caches (in service worker) or window.caches (on page)   Registering a Service Worker • Works with promises • Re-registration works fine In main.js navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js').then(function(reg){ console.log('regsitered'); }.cat
