Viewing IPython notebooks in GitLab

GitLab is open source software to collaborate on code (a GitHub clone to run on your own server). Clicking a blob (a file in a repository) in GitLab shows a nice rendering if GitLab supports the file type (e.g., images, Markdown documents), or its content as plain text otherwise. The patch described here adds support to GitLab for rendering IPython notebooks (.ipynb files).

Do you have a WARC file of a website all downloaded and ready to be added to the Internet Archive? Great! You can do that with the Internet Archive's web-based uploader, but it's not ideal and it can't handle really big uploads. Here's how you can upload your WARC files to the IA from the command line, and without worrying about a size restriction.

First, you need to get your Access Key and Secret Key from the Internet Archive for the S3-like API. Here's where you can get that for your IA account: http://archive.org/account/s3.php Don't share those with other people!

Here's their documentation file about how to use it, if you need some extra help: http://archive.org/help/abouts3.txt

Next, you should copy the following files to a text file and edit them as needed:

export IA_S3_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR-ACCESS-KEY-FROM-THE-IA-GOES-HERE"

Solr Query Syntax Basics

This is a super basic beginners guide to Solr Lucene query syntax. We're going to cover running a straightforward query, as well as some of the more useful functionality such as filtering and creating facets. We'll point out some things you can't do and generally give you enough instruction so that you can get yourself into trouble.

For testing you need a REST client capable of sending requests to your Solr instance. Either RESTClient for Firefox or Postman for Chrome are good choices.

Misc

Request Specific Fields

To specify a list of fields to return instead of the default Solr response use fl and provide a comma delimited list of fields:

// see http://www.netlib.org/clapack/cblas/dgemv.c
package main

/*
#cgo LDFLAGS: -L/usr/lib/libblas -lblas
#include <stdlib.h>
extern void dgemv_(char* trans, int *m, int *n, double *alpha,
    double *A, int *lda, double *x, int *incx, double *beta, double *y,
    int *incy);

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
