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.

Moodle <=< Mediawiki SUL integration - first thoughts

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 nee...

Random Thoughts on Linear Regressions

Regression Analysis TLDR Regression is the oldest and most powerful tool in a data scientist's toolbox. Under ideal conditions multiple linear regression would be the best and only tool a data scientist would want to use... In reality you would use a modern nonparametric variant or a different algorithm. Still, the main ideas I . discuss here  will pop up in many other models and algorithms. This post is my brain dump on regression - I'll update it as time allows to cover the many aspects of this technique.

Data science interviews can be over whelming  New Year, New Data Scientist Job: 5 Things To Think About My notes: https://www.meetup.com/Big-Data-Analytics-Israel/events/253124286/ The first talk was by: Raya Belinsky -  "New job - yes or no?" The talk about finding your next job or reinventing your current jobs. Miss Belinsky's humour and background as an executive life-coach made this talk both pleasant and worth-while.
