As a general rule, avoid running the shell programmatically (as opposed to, say, upon interactive user request). -The reason is that it’s a human-oriented interface (thus the easy separation of words with spaces and shortcuts for $HOME and globbing) that is vastly underpowered as an API. Consider, for example, how your code would detect that ssh was missing: the situation doesn’t arise with paramiko (so long as it is installed), is obvious with subprocess, and is just an (ambiguous) exit code and stderr message from the shell. Also consider how you supply the command to run: it already must be a command suitable for the shell (due to limitations in the SSH protocol), but if you invoke ssh with the shell it must be encoded (sometimes called “doubly escaped”) so as to have the local shell’s interpretation be the desired multi-word command for the remote shell. -So far, paramiko and subprocess are pretty much equivalent. As a more difficult case, consider how a key verification failure would manifest: paramiko would describe the failure as data, whereas the others would attempt to interact with the user (which might or might not be present). paramiko also supports opening multiple channels over one authenticated connection; ssh does so as well but only via a complicated ControlMaster configuration involving Unix socket files (which might not have any good place to exist in some deployments). Speaking of configuration, you may need to pass -F to avoid complications from the user’s .ssh/config if it is not designed with this automated use case in mind. -In summary, libraries are designed for use cases like yours, and so it should be no surprise that they work better, especially for edge cases, than assembling your own interface from human-oriented commands (although it is very useful that such manual compositions are possible!).

Then just reference that context variable directly in the javascript in the template. - -It should load the data fine - but I was told that is the wrong way. -So how is it best achieved? -My second thought: - -Spin up Django Rest Framework and create an endpoint where you pass any required data to and make an AJAX request when the page loads - then load the data and do the JS stuff needed. - -This works, except for one thing, how do I get the variables required for the AJAX request into the AJAX request itself? -I'd have to get them either from the context (which is the 'wrong way') or get the parameters from the URL. Is there any easy way to parse the data out of the URL in JS? It seems like a pain in the neck just to get around not utilizing the view for the data needed and accessing those variables directly in the JS. -So, is it really 'bad practice' to pass data from the Django view and use it directly in the Javascript? -Are both methods acceptable? -What is the Django appropriate way to get data like that into the Javascript on a given page/template?","Passing data directly is not always the wrong way to go. JS is there so you can execute code when everything else is ready. So when they tell you it's the wrong way to pass data directly, it's because there is no point in making the page and data heavier than it should be before JS kicks in. -BUT it's okay to pass the essential data so your JS codes knows what it has to do. To make it more clear, let's look into your case: -You want to render a graph. And graphs are sometimes heavy to render and it can make the first render slow. And most of the time, graphs are not so useful without the extra context that your page provides. So in order to make your web page load faster, you let JS load your graph after your webpage has been rendered. And if you're going to wait, then there is no point in passing the extra data needed because it makes the page heavier and slows down the initial render and it takes time to parse and convert those data to JSON objects. -By removing the data and letting JS load them in the background, you make your page smaller and faster to render. So while a user is reading the context needed for your graph, JS will fetch the data needed and renders the graph. This will cause your web page to have a faster initial render. -So in general: -When to pass data directly: - -When the initial data is necessary for JS to do what it has to (configs, defaults, etc). -When the time difference matters a lot and you can't wait too much for an extra request to complete the render. -When data is very small. - -When not to pass data directly: - -When rendering the extra data takes time anyway, so why not get the data latter too? -When the data size is big. -When you need to render something as fast as possible. -When there are some heavy processes needed for those data. -When JS can make your data size smaller (Decide what kind of data should be passed exactly using options that are only accessible by JS.)",1.2,True,1,6555 -2020-02-13 23:49:41.500,Interpreter won't show in Python 3.8.1,I recently downloaded python for the first time and when I load into pycharm to create a new project and it asks to select an interpreter python doesn't show up even when I click the plus sign and search through all my files it doesn't show even though I have the latest python version installed and I have windows 10 I tried deleting both programs and redownloading them but that doesn't seem to work either please if possible and the answer may be obvious but sorry I'm a beginner and also looking at videos didn't help either.,"You have no navigate to the folder where python is downloaded and just select there. -Try the following path C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe",0.6730655149877884,False,1,6556 -2020-02-14 01:43:31.803,How did scipy ver 0.18 scipy.interpolate.UnivariateSpline deal with values not strictly increasing?,"I have a program written in python 2.7.5 scipy 0.18.1 that is able to run scipy.interpolate.UnivariateSpline with arrays that are non-sequential.

I found that it depends where it resides in your model architecture and what you are trying to achieve. I have done a lot with different GAN CNNs and found that often BN is not needed and can even degrade performance. It's purpose is to help the model generalize faster but sometimes it increases training times. If I am trying to replicate images, I skip BN entirely. I don't understand what you mean with regards to the accuracy. Do you mean it achieved 83% accuracy with the training data but dropped to 15% accuracy on the validation data? What was the validation accuracy without the BN? In general, the validation accuracy is the more important metric. If you have a high training accuracy and a low validation accuracy, you are indeed overfitting. If you have several convolution layers, you may want to apply BN after each. If you still over-fit, try increasing your strides and kernel size. If that doesn't work you might need to look at the data again and make sure you have enough and that it is somewhat diverse.

The upside is that it is easy to implement. The downside is that many requests will be unnecessary. It sounds like this isn't a great option for you. -Long Polling - This method means you would open a request up with the server and leave the request open for a long period of time. When the server gets new information it will send a response and close the request - after which the client will immediately open up a new ""long poll"" request. This eliminates some of the unnecessary requests with regular polling, but it is a bit of a hack as HTTP was meant for a reasonably short request response cycle. Some PaaS providers only allow a 30 second window for this to occur for example. -Web Sockets - This is somewhat harder to setup, but ultimately is the best solution for real time server to client (and vice versa) communication. A socket connection is opened between the server and client and data is passed back and forth whenever either party would like to do so.

I've done this under Apache, Tomcat, and GoServe (an OS/2 server), and never had a problem. -This method does have the disadvantage that you'll need to arrange for each temporary file to be deleted after an expiry period such as 12 hours or whenever you think the user won't need it any more. On the webpage you return, if the image is something serious that the user might want to keep, you could warn them that this will happen.

In brief, my workflow involves long running (days) processes with a large number of shared parameters. As a dependency graph, nodes are tasks that produce output or do some other work. That seems fairly universal in workflow tools. -However, key to my needs is that each task is defined by the parameters it requires. Tasks are instantiated with respect to the state of those parameters and all parameters of its dependencies. Thus if a task has completed its job according to a given parameter state, it is complete and not rerun. This parameter state is NOT the global parameter state but only what is relevant to that part of the DAG. This reliance on parameter state rather than time completed appears to be the essential difference between my needs and existing tools (at least what I have gathered from a quick look at Luigi and Airflow). Time completed might be one such parameter, but in general it is not the time that determines a (re)run of the DAG, but whether the parameter state is congruent with the parameter state of the calling task. There are non-trivial issues (to me) with 'parameter explosion' and the relationship to parameter state and the DAG, but those are not my question here. -My question -- which existing python tool would more readily allow defining 'complete' with respect to this parameter state? It's been suggested that Luigi is compatible with my needs by writing a custom complete method that would compare the metadata of built data ('targets') with the needed parameter state. -How about Airflow?

Airflow definitely has momentum but my needs may be too far from its purpose. -Defining the complete parameter state is needed for two reasons -- 1) with complex, long running tasks, I can't just re-run the DAG every time I change some parameter in the very large global parameter state, and 2) I need to know how the intermediate and final results have been produced for scientific and data integrity reasons.","I looked further into Luigi and Airflow and as far as I could discern neither of these is suitable for modification for my needs. The primary incompatibility is that these tools are fundamentally based on predetermined DAGs/workflows. My existing framework operates on instantiated and fully specified DAGs that are discovered at run-time rather than concisely described externally -- necessary because knowing whether each task is complete, for a given request, is dependent on many combinations of parameter values that define the output of that task and the utilized output of all upstream tasks. By instantiated, I mean the 'intermediate' results of individual runs each described by the full parameter state (variable values) necessary to reproduce (withstanding any stochastic element) identical output from that task. -So a 'Scheduler' that operates on a DAG ahead of time is not useful. -In general, most existing workflow frameworks, at least in python, that I've glanced at appear more to be designed to automate many relatively simple tasks in an easily scalable and robust manner with parallelization, with little emphasis put on the incremental building up of more complex analyses with results that must be reused when possible designed to link complex and expensive computational tasks the output of which may likely in turn be used as input for an additional unforeseen analysis. -I just discovered the 'Prefect' workflow this morning, and am intrigued to learn more -- at least it is clearly well funded ;-). My initial sense is that it may be less reliant on pre-scheduling and thus more fluid and more readily adapted to my needs, but that's just a hunch. In many ways some of my more complex 'single' tasks might be well suited to wrap an entire Prefect Flow if they played nicely together. It seems my needs are on the far end of the spectrum of deep complicated DAGs (I will not try to write mine out!) with never ending downstream additions. -I'm going to look into Prefect and Luigi more closely and see what I can borrow to make my framework more robust and less baroque. Or maybe I can add a layer of full data description to Prefect... -UPDATE -- discussing with Prefect folks, clear that I need to start with the underlying Dask and see if it is flexible enough -- perhaps using Dask delayed or futures. Clearly Dask is extraordinary. Graphchain built on top of Dask is a move in the right direction by facilitating permanent storage of 'intermediate' output computed over a dependency 'chain' identified by hash of code base and parameters.

This works well to a point, where things are in categories, the data types is optimized. -Store the dataframe in Ray. Using ray.put and ray.get.

Thanks a lot!","First of all, a quick description of anaconda: -Anaconda is meant to help you manage multiple python ""environments"", each one potentially having its own python version and installed packages (with their own respective versions). This is really useful in cases where you would like multiple python versions for different tasks or when there is some conflict in versions of packages, required by other ones. By default, anaconda creates a ""base"" environment with a specific python version, IDLE and pip. Also, anaconda provides an improved way (with respect to pip) of installing and managing packages via the command conda install . -For the rest, I will be using the word ""vanilla"" to refer to the python/installation that you manually set up, independent of anaconda. -Explanation of the problem: -Now, the problem arises since you also installed python independently. The details of the problem depend on how exactly you set up both python and anaconda, so I cannot tell you exactly what went wrong. Also, I am not an OSX user, so I have no idea how python is installed and what it downloads/sets alongside. -By your description however, it seems that the ""vanilla"" python installation did not overwrite neither your anaconda python nor anaconda's pip, but it did install IDLE and set it up to use this new python. -So right now, when you are downloading something via pip, only the python from anaconda is able to see that and not IDLE's python. -Possible solutions: -1. Quick fix: -Just run IDLE via /Users/myname/anaconda3/bin/idle3 every time. This one uses anaconda's python and should be able to see all packages installed via conda install of pip install (*). I get this is tiresome, but you don't have to delete anything. You can also set an ""alias"" in your ~/.bashrc file to make the command idle specifically linking you there. Let me know with a comment if you would like me to explain how to do that, as this answer will get too long and redundant. -2. Remove conda altogether (not recommended) -You can search google on how to uninstall anaconda along with everything that it has installed. What I do not know at this point is whether your ""vanilla"" python will become the default, whether you will need to also manually install pip again and whether there is the need to reinstall python in order for everything to work properly. -3. Remove your python ""vanilla"" installation and only use anaconda -Again, I do not know how python installation works in OSX, but it should be reasonably straightforward to uninstall it. The problem now is that probably you will not have a launcher for IDLE (since I am guessing anaconda doesn't provide one on OSX) but you will be able to use it via the terminal as described in 1.. -4. Last resort: -If everything fails, simply uninstall both your vanilla python (which I presume will also uninstall IDLE) and anaconda which will uninstall its own python, pip and idle versions. The relevant documentation should not be difficult to follow. Then, reinstall whichever you want anew. -Finally: -When you solve your problems, any IDE you choose, being VScode (I haven't use that either), pycharm or something else, will probably be able to integrate with your installed python. There is no need to install a new python ""bundle"" with every IDE. - -(*): Since you said that after typing pip install pandas your anaconda's python can import pandas while IDLE cannot, I am implying in my answer that pip is also the one that comes with anaconda. You can make sure this is the case by typing which pip which should point to an anaconda directory, probably /Users/myname/anaconda3/bin/pip",1.2,True,3,6830 -2020-06-15 16:39:14.833,"IDLE and python is different, not able to install modules properly","thanks for reading this.

First I'd look at how to improve this process. You indicate that the process is based on the past 30 days of data - is the large tables time sorted, vacuumed and analyzed? It is important to take maximum advantage of metadata when working with large tables. Make sure your where clauses are effective at eliminating fact table block - don't rely on dimension table where clauses to select the date range. -Next look at your distribution keys and how these are impacting the need for your critical query to move large amounts of data across the network. The internode network has the lowest bandwidth in a Redshift cluster and needlessly pushing lots of data across it will make things slow and inefficient. Using EVEN distribution can be a performance killer depending on your query pattern. -Now let me get to your question and let me paraphrase - ""is it better to use summary tables, materialized views, or external storage (tableau datasource) to store summary data updated hourly?"" All 3 work and each has its own pros and cons. - -Summary tables are good because you can select the distribution of the data storage and if this data needs to be combined with other database tables it can be done most efficiently. However, there is more data management to be performed to keep this data up to data and in sync. -Materialized views are nice as there is a lot less management action to worry about - when the data changes, just refresh the view. The data is still in the database so is is easy to combine with other data tables but since you don't have control over storage of the data these action may not be the most efficient. -External storage is good in that the data is in your BI tool so if you need to refetch the results during the hour the data is local. However, it is not locked into your BI tool and far less efficient to combine with other database tables. - -Summary data usually isn't that large so how it is stored isn't a huge concern and I'm a bit lazy so I'd go with a materialized view.

On the other side (finding changelists in v5.0 that 123 contributed to), you could do this iteratively; run p4 changes -i @N,N for each changelist N in the v5.0 codeline, and see which of them include 123 in the output (it may be more than one).",0.6730655149877884,False,1,6859 -2020-06-24 01:35:15.063,Alpha_Vantage ts.get_daily ending with [0],"I am learning how to use Alpha_Vantage api and came across this line of code.

The extra CPU cores have dramatically improved the speed of fitting my models particularly for decision tree ensembles that I tend to use a lot. I am now thinking of buying additional servers from that era (early-mid 2010s) (either dual or quad-socket intel xeon E5, E7 v1/v2) and wiring them up as a small HPC cluster in my apartment. Here's what I need help deciding: - -Is this a bad idea? Am I better off buying a GPU (like a gtx 1080). The reason I am reluctant to go the GPU route is that I tend to rely on sklearn a lot (that's pretty much the only thing I know and use). And from what I understand model training on gpus is not currently a part of the sklearn ecosystem. All my code is written in numpy/pandas/sklearn. So, there will be a steep learning curve and backward compatibility issues. Am I wrong about this? - -Assuming (1) is true and CPUs are indeed better for me in the short term. How do I build the cluster and run Jupyter notebooks on it. Is it as simple as buying an additional server. Designating one of the servers as the head node. Connecting the servers through ethernet. Installing Centos / Rocks on both machines. And starting the Jupyter server with IPython Parallel (?). - -Assuming (2) is true, or at least partly true. What other hardware / software do I need to get? Do I need an ethernet switch? Or if I am connecting only two machines, there's no need for it? Or do I need a minimum of three machines to utilize the extra CPU cores and thus need a switch? Do I need to install Centos / Rocks? Or are there better, more modern alternatives for the software layer. For context, right now I use openSUSE on the HP server, and I am pretty much a rookie when it comes to operating systems and networking. - -How homogeneous should my hardware be? Can I mix and match different frequency CPUs and memory across the machines? For example, having 1600 MHz DDR3 memory in one machine, 1333 MHz DDR3 in another? Or using 2.9 GHz E5-2600v1 and 2.6 GHz E5-2600v2 CPUs? - -Should I be worried about power? I.e. can I safely plug three rackmounted servers in the same power strip in my apartment? There's one outlet that I know if I plug my hairdryer in, the lights go out.

An abstract class will defer some or all of its implementation to operations defined in subclasses; hence an abstract class cannot be instantiated. The operations that an abstract class declares but doesn’t implement are called abstract operations. Classes that aren’t abstract are called concrete classes.

The class defines the object’s internal state and the implementation of its operations. In contrast, an object’s type only refers to its interface—the set of requests to which it can respond. An object can have many types, and objects of different classes can have the same type.

Or am I missing the point?","how does it prevent an attack from an attacker who can see the user's packets? - -Just because you can see someone's packets doesn't mean that you can see the contents. HTTPS encrypts the traffic so even if someone manages to capture your traffic, they will no be able to extract JWT out of it. Every website that is using authentication should only run through HTTPS. If someone is able to perform man-in-the-middle attack then that is a different story. - -they'll be able to copy the token and use it to login themselves and access a protected resource - -Yes but only as the user they stole the token from. JWT are signed which means that you can't modify their content without breaking the signature which will be detected by the server (at least it is computationally infeasible to find the hash collision such that you could modify the content of the JWT). For highly sensitive access (bank accounts, medical data, enterprise cloud admin accounts...) you will need at least 2-factor authentication. - -And if the attacker could steal a token once, can't they do it again after the refressh? - -Possibly but that depends on how the token has been exposed. If the attacked sits on the unencrypted channel between you and the server then sure they can repeat the same process but this exposure might be a result of a temporary glitch/human mistake which might be soon repaired which will prevent attack to use the token once it expires. - -Is there no way to verify that a token being sent by a client is being sent from the same client that you sent it to? - -If the attacker successfully performs man-in-the-middle attack, they can forge any information that you might use to verify the client so the answer is no, there is no 100% reliable way to verify the client. - -The biggest issue I see with JWTs is not JWTs themselves but the way they are handled by some people (stored in an unencrypted browser local storage, containing PII, no HTTPS, no 2-factor authentication where necessary, etc...)",1.2,True,1,6946 -2020-08-02 12:15:56.920,Python runs in Docker but not in Kubernetes hosted in Raspberry Pi cluster running Ubuntu 20,"Here is the situation. -Trying to run a Python Flask API in Kubernetes hosted in Raspberry Pi cluster, nodes are running Ubuntu 20.

So, it looks like it was a node specific problem. -I copied the API and Dockerfile onto the node and ran Docker build to create the image. It now runs. That does not make sense as the Docker image should have everything it needs to run. -Maybe it's because a previous image build against x86 (the development machine) remained in that nodes Docker cache/repository. Maybe the image on the node is not overwritten with newer images that have the same name and version number (the version number didn't increment). That would seem the case as the spin up time of the image on the remote node is fast suggesting the new image isn't copied on the remote node. That likely to be what it is. -I will post this anyway as it might be useful. - -Edit: allow me to clarify some more, the root of this problem was ultimately because there was no shared image repository in the cluster.

Inheritance doesn't work - I need the instance, not the class. Besides, inheritance is one way, not two way. -I can obviously instantiate the Gui, and then pass it (as an object) to the others when they are instantiated. But the Gui then won't know about the Process and Net instances. I can of course then manually pass the Net and Process instances to the Gui instance after creation, but that seems like a hack, not like proper practice. Also the number of interdependencies I have to manually pass along grows rather quickly (almost factorially?) with the number of objects involved - so I expect this is not the correct strategy. -I arrived at this dead end after trying the same thing with normal functions, where I am more comfortable.

And I also want to know the logic of how Flask and React work together.,"Flask is a backend micro-service and react is a front-end framework. Flask communicates with the database and makes the desired API hit points. The backend listens for any API request and sends the corresponding response as a JSON format. So using React you can make HTTP requests to the backend. -For testing purposes have the backend and frontend separated and communicate only using the REST APIs. For production, use the compiled js of React as static files and render only the index.html of the compiled react from the backend. -P.S: I personally recommend Django rest framework over flask if you are planning to do huge project.",1.2,True,1,7199 -2020-12-26 19:08:35.663,AES 128 bit encryption of bitstream data in python,"I am trying to encrypt a bitstream data or basically a list of binary data like this [1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,1,0,1] in python using AES encryption with block size of 128bit, the problem is that i want the output to be binary data as well and the same size as the original binary data list, is that possible?how do i do that?","Yes, there are basically two ways: - -You have a unique value tied to the data (for instance if they are provided in sequence then you can create a sequence number) then you can simply use the unique value as nonce and then use AES encryption in counter mode. Counter mode doesn't expand the data but it is insecure if no nonce is supplied. Note that you do need the nonce when decrypting. - -You use format preserving encryption or FPE such as FF1 and FF3 defined by NIST. There are a few problems with this approach: - -there are issues with these algorithms if the amount of input data is minimal (as it seems to be in your case); -the implementations of FF1 and FF3 are generally hard to find; -if you have two unique bit values then they will result in identical ciphertext. - - - -Neither of these schemes provide integrity or authenticity of the data obviously, and they by definition leak the size of the plaintext.",1.2,True,1,7200 -2020-12-26 21:26:15.483,Running encrypted python code using RSA or AES encryption,"As I was working on a project the topic of code obfuscation came up, as such, would it be possible to encrypt python code using either RSA or AES and then de-code it on the other side and run it?. And if it's possible how would you do it?. I know that you can obfuscate code using Base64, or XOR, but using AES or RSA would be an interesting application. This is simply a generic question for anyone that may have an idea on how to do it. I am just looking to encrypt a piece of code from point A, send it to point B, have it decrypted at point B and run there locally using either AES or RSA. It can be sent by any means, as long as the code itself is encrypted and unreadable.","Yes this is very possible but would require some setup to work. -First off Base64 is an encoder for encoding data from binary/bytes to a restricted ascii/utf subset for transmission usually over http. Its not really an obfuscator, more like a packager for binary data. -So here is what is needed for this to work. - -A pre-shared secret key that both point A and point B have. This key cannot be transmitted along with the code since anyone who gets the encrypted code would also get the key to decrypt it. - -There would need to be an unencrypted code/program that allows you to insert that pre-shared key to use to decrypt the encrypted code that was sent. Can't hardcode the key into the decryptor since again anyone with the decryptor can now decrypt the code and also if the secrey key is leaked you would have to resend out the decryptor to use a different key. - -Once its decrypted the ""decryptor"" could save that code to a file for you to run or run the code itself using console commands or if its a python program you can call eval or use importlib to import that code and call the function within. -WARNING: eval is known to be dangerous since it will execute whatever code it reads. If you use eval with code you dont trust it can download a virus or grab info from your computer or anything really. DO NOT RUN UNTRUSTED CODE. - - -Also there is a difference between AES and RSA. One is a symmetric cipher and the other is asymmetric. Both will work for what you want but they require different things for encryption and decryption. One uses a single key for both while the other uses one for encryption and one for decryption.

After that, I use Grid Search with CV = 10 to tune hyperparameter on training set with these 2 models (SVM and Random Forest). When hyperparameters are identified for each model, I use these hyperparameters of these 2 models to test Accuracy_score on training and testing set again in order to find out which model is the best one for my data (conditions: Accuracy_score on training set < Accuracy_score on testing set (not overfiting) and which Accuracy_score on testing set of model is higher, that model is the best model). -However, SVM shows the accuracy_score of training set is 100 and the accuracy_score of testing set is 83.56, this means SVM with tuning hyperparameters is overfitting.

For example, from 0 to 1 where antonyms are 0 and synonyms are 1, 'yellow' and 'ambient' might be 0.65 similar.

To do this you would find a dataset of similar nature who has labelled the data already into categories. Then you can use this data to classify the texts into categories (e.g with a Naive Bayes classifier). In this way you can denote meaning on texts computationally. This would allow general evaluations but also evaluations on an input to input basis on how well they scored across different categories of meaning. @@ -12360,14 +5025,14 @@ I want to know that how can I run this command so that it runs on whole django p When I start a jupyter notebook and import turtle everything works just fine.
