I wrote about ScrapingBee a couple of years ago, where I gave a brief intro about the service. ScrapingBee is a cloud-based scraping service that provides both headless and lightweight, typical HTTP request-based scraping services. Recently, I discovered that they are providing some cool features that other online services are not providing as such. What are those features? I thought to explore and explain them with a real use case. I used ....

Figure 1: Saturn devouring the GPL Here's a free product idea for the ambitious and morally flexible reader: Microsoft charges you $10/month for access to a service that harvests intellectual property, launders it through an algorithm, and then presents it to you absent its license which is a violation of its copyleft terms . This has been a topic of discussion for several months now, and it appears that this is just one of th....

This guide assumes you know how to insert text, move the cursor, and execute commands in Neovim. Neovim is a text editor based on Vim . It is extremely extensible, and we’ll be taking advantage of that to edit on Fandom wikis. Install Neovim (but Vim should also work for this guide). It might already be on your Linux computer. You will also need an installation of Python, and a library called mwclient from pip, as well as a plugin m..

yubiuser has released a new updated for PADD, to 3.8.1, so I updated also my modified version with more info that fits 800x480px display. PSA: remember that from 3.8.0 it requires FTL version (>= v5.16). You can download it here: padd.sh v3.8.1 for 800x480px display . I think it needs to have some slight layout change, like the RX and TX section and the “SYSTEM” info. I’ll look in to it soon.

Client Time Series Model: a Multi-Target Recommender System based on Temporally-Masked Encoders

Introduction The foundation of our recommendation stack is a scoring model we call p(sale), which estimates the probability that any given client will purchase any given item. This model has gone through many iterations over the years, from a mixed effects model, to a matrix factorization model, and now to a novel sequence-based model. Internally we call this the Client Time Series Model (aka CTSM) because of its focus on the time-domain o....

On a recent Reddit comment , tdstoff7 asked if I had considered writing an "Open with" DWIM shell command for those times one would like to open a file externally using an app other than the default. I hadn't, but nice idea. Take images as an example. Though Emacs can display them quickly, I also open images externally using the default app ( Preview in my case). But then there are those times when I'd like to open with a different app ....

A quick follow-up to Emacs: macOS sharing (DWIM style) … Though functional, the implementation had a couple of drawbacks. Tohiko noticed fullscreen wasn't working at all while Calvin proposed enumeration for tighter Emacs integration . Calvin's suggestion enables using completing-read to pick the sharing service. This makes the integration feel more at home. As a bonus, it also enables sharing from fullscreen Emacs. As an ivy ....
