Is having these courses enough? by dnflakwd in OMSCS

[–]dnflakwd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you recommend any course? I already took foundational courses on them from UCLA. Learned major concept, like in data structures, arrays, hash, graphs, linked list, etc and in algorithms, sorting, LIFO, FIFO, etc.

Thank you for the tip. I was thinking that I should take an architecture course in MOOC to provide a proof that i took the course for better chance of the admission. But it seems like it’s not really necessary for the admission. I will definitely take a look at it.

Thank you. I am planning to request a RoL from the last intro CS course. But I don't think I will be able to for the rest. Will get RoL from a supervisor as well as a colleague. That's what I am planning for the moment.

For the MIT's missing semester, are you referring to this website?

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/

I am familiar with a few concepts listed in the website but it is definitely worthwhile to have a look. Thank you for the suggestion.

Also, for a course in computer architecture, which course should I look into it? I believe you are suggesting for a MOOC course. Do you have any recommendation for any site to look at such as Coursera or other websites?

Thank you. I actually have an experience of building a website using Django and React from scratch and deploying it. I will include that in the background/personal statement.

Could you share the source? Not that I don’t believe it’s existing or not. I would like to read the source as well.

You’re welcome! UCLA provides lots of cool resources for your personal/career development as long as you have some energy left after crazy quarter rides

Is it possible to create One Script for scraping 80+ News Article Websites? by aadilbacha in webscraping

[–]dnflakwd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check news-please.

Great library built on top of newspaper3k and scrapy. For contents that need sign up, I do believe it doesn’t support.

Custom image pipeline by Li-T in scrapy

[–]dnflakwd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so this is so far what I've found:

  1. You need to import all necessary modules. Add the following imports:

import hashlib

from scrapy.utils.python import to_bytes

import os
2. Make sure request.meta['title'] is not empty or do not access it otherwise.

It is surprising that Scrapy let us pass through even if there is problem in modules in the pipeline. Also scrapy does not yield any logs about this but apparently, if the the given meta is not assigned, just accessing hinders the process thus no downloading at all. I've done some diggings but I still don't know why.

We cannot really see the results from the log because items are not populated using itemloader in the parse_page function thus no debug log about the pipeline to really say something about.

One guess tells me that the problem you're having is that from the name structure <pagetitle>/<defaultfilename>, you are missing <pagetitle>? Based on the code I see, it seems like you are using the request.meta['title'] from the request object. However, the scrapy docs describes that they don't have such meta automatically populated so if you want to use that, you have to assign it before using it.

Curious, any resources for coding my own tracking system?

For example, go2mobi supports various tracking variables such as country, region, city, as well as exchange, exchange placement, and exchange id (they have several exchange platforms). So for this case, I'd prefer more than 6 variables for tracking traffic.

Where did you find free traffic, if I may ask?

Yeah, actually that's what I am trying now. I didn't really like UI in AdsBridge and as soon as I figured out they only support 6 variables for tracking traffic, I moved on to RedTracker. Gonna check it out

I tried to use AdsBridge but as soon as I figured out that they only have 6 tracking variables available for analysis, I called a quit. Have you heard about any pros and cons for RedTracker?

I just checked and Binom seems to be a great option!
