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.

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

AWS CloudFormation Pros and Cons

AWS CloudFormation Pros and Cons So I'm building a PAAS product that does ML based optimisations and that means doing work in the cloud. The ML is a neat feature but without the basic product nothing will happen and to bootstrap this project on AWS I tried to make use of CloudFormation a service that automates creation and destruction of service stacks. Based on a week's worth of experimenting with CloudFormation I will try to answer the question: "Is learning CloudFormation worth the effort?" Despite the rant CloudFormation support creation, updating and deletion of entire stacks of services. SAM is built on top of CloudFormation and It has a visual editor. The way CloudFormation is described, is that you can copy paste snippets to create resources and build a library of reusable components. This is a simplistic point of view. In reality you need to bring properties, specify dependencies, and introduce signalling mechanisms to ensure your template works. T
