I found this question/solution related to programming OneDrive like extention:



Creating a special folder in Windows Explorer like DropBox or OneDrive



Is it possible to do it in a way that files don't use up local disk space (like they do in OneDrive)? So to have them displayed just by syncing headers/properties and actually downloading the whole file from the cloud when user wants to read/edit it?



*goal: a cloud (shared drive) solution with several TBs in capacity. If files were to be synced then it's no use on laptops (limitation with SSD size)...






c# cloud shell-extensions shared-data

  • Yes it's possible, but almost not documented. Have a look at this product who exposes two Windows low level APIs: "Files On Demand" and "ProjFS" (Projected File System, used by Microsoft to connect to huge++ github repos): shellboost.com/Doc/Introduction/Files-On-Demand (disclaimer: I work for the company who sells them). Note that AFAIK dropbox doesn't uses these API, only OneDrive as of today.

  • Not that I know of. And as of today, this is also the only commercial product that has this :-)

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

Image
1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
