what's going on with this dash '-' thing?












3















I was trying to export the python environment requirements and this is what I intended to do:



conda list -e > requirements.txt


However I mistakendly typed this instead:



conda list -e -> requirements.txt


It still works but the file is having fewer lines in the content. I want to know what exactly happend. I searched but couldn't find an explaination on the - in this case. Thanks!






linux io-redirection arguments output dash

          The -e option doesn't take any argument after it, so the - is just a regular argument to list. The first and only positional argument conda list has is a regular expression, which causes it to




          List only packages matching this regular expression.




          In your case, it will have listed only packages matching - (so, containing a hyphen in their name). That output was then redirected into requirements.txt as you intended. It will be shorter than conda list -e's output because there are some non-matching packages that aren't included.

                    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 ...
