[python-uk] Previous Dojo's code (Wikipedia quiz)

2019-03-22 Thread Carles Pina i Estany


Hi,

I have a question for people attending the London Dojos...

I'd like to have links to code for this one:
https://twitter.com/ldnpydojo/status/1058088304804007937

I can't find any on Github, would anyone have it handy please?

Thanks very much!

[python-uk] Next London Dojo

2015-03-21 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hi,

The next "normal day" for the London Dojo is the Thursday before Friday
Easter (2nd April).

Will it be on that day or the week after?

Thank you!

PS: I couldn't go in March and I'm having withdrawal syndrome.

[python-uk] Computing History museum

2013-11-18 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hello,

Last Saturday I went to the Cambridge Centre for Computing History.

I think that after Bletchley Park it's my favourite museum :-) 
I took some photos and wrote a quick write up:
http://pintant.cat/2013/11/18/the-cambridge-centre-for-computing-history/

It's a quite new museum, so I thought that someone here could be
interested in it but maybe someone doesn't know it.

Apologies for the quite bad photos...

Regards,

[python-uk] video of Mahna Mahna

2013-10-02 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hi,

I've been searching in youtube.com for a Mahna Mahna video from the
Pycon UK 2013 and I haven't found any.

Does anyone have one? I'd like to have it :-) I think that I was so
astonished that I didn't record and I thought that would be everywhere.
And at least not here: http://pyconuk.net/PostConf

Regards and see some of you tomorrow at the London Dojo!

Hi,

I'd love to go! But I'm away that weekend :-( (hiking in Ireland).

4 years living in London and I've been there 5 times. AMAZING place,
please do one of the guided tours, worth doing it.

So I hope to join another time :-)

If the weather is not too bad: get some picnic and eat outside.

funny enough, when it's super-specified and quoting you later in your
email: "it seems more like work than a dojo to me.." :-) I like some
freedom in what to implement, not in only how to implement.

sometimes has been too complex. But sometimes I just downgrade the
"fancy problem" to something easier.

Last Thursday I could rephrase the problem to:
One have 6 rows. Write two random words in two different rows:

-row 1: aword
-row 2:
-row 3: someotherword
-row 4:
-row 5:
-row 6:

Write an across word with the regular expression ^w.o..." (column 2) and
another one "^o.m..." (for column 4).

For me, part of the exercise sometimes (in my opinion) is to find what
in some literature they call "MVP" :-D (if we go fancy, Minimum Viable
Product I think).

it depends on the group (or the mood of the group) and problem.

As mentioned, similar problems happens in other place. For example at my
tennis table club: mix of levels, some advanced players don't want to
play with beginners. Some other advance players give too MANY
suggestions to beginners and the beginners cannot process all at the
same time and then it's not fun but stressful for them.

Also, I have to recognize that some months I'm in a more programming
mood, other months less programming mood (due the Dojo being after a
work day).

Do you mean 2 days before the Code Dojo OR the first Tuesday of every

Re: [python-uk] word chains: impossible ones

2012-06-16 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hi,

A bit in a hurry but code is here:
http://git.pinux.info/?p=misc.git;a=tree;f=wordchain;h=dd945993ebd27f7a372e2a05da1ad09145f2eba1;hb=HEAD

Generated image:
http://git.pinux.info/?p=misc.git;a=blob_plain;f=wordchain/graphic.png;hb=HEAD

The dictionary has 99156 words, which is quite good.
Or:
carles@pinux:~/misc/wordchain$ grep ^...$ british-english | wc -l
844
carles@pinux:~/misc/wordchain$ 

844 3-letter words, but in the Python code I remove all that they
contain "'" or has capital letters.

I'll write a bit of readme later on...

[python-uk] word chains: impossible ones

2012-06-16 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hi,

I've re-implemented the wordchain of my team.

Using the dictionary that I have here, it seems that there are only two
words unconnected to the rest of the 3 letter words:
 *emu
 *ems

Everything else is connected :-)

(and emu and ems obviously are connected)

So, if my dictionary is ok and you want to beat someone: ask from emu to
something else :-)

It's not in the job spec but Python is used. We also hosted a Python

Python (Uk) T-Shirts. I would buy one (and probably more than one for
some friends, friends ordering from me, etc.).

To sell more: we could advertise in other PUGs from other places, but
then we need to send the T-Shirts. We could use
http://www.cafepress.com/ , but I have never used it, either to buy or
sell.

This are my 2 cents.

Re: [python-uk] Bayesian filter

Hi,

good!

For me one of the keys is in:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naive_Bayes_classifier
Just above "Using the Bayesian result".

I can read the formulas like:
-Probability of the document being spam is the multiplicatoin of each
individual word of this document being spam

Also interesting here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_spam_filtering
When talks about "Combining individual probabilities"
(talks about the assumptions and links to the previous Wikipedia
article)

Other key is in the file reverend/thomas.py, buildCache, where it
computes the probability of each token to belong in each group. The
thing is that there is doing some "magic" with the metrics that, at the
moment, I'm not following very well (what it does and why is needed).

So, in a very high level does:
Training:
-Tokenize the input
-Save how many times appears each word in the corpus

buildCache (so, part of guessing if no more training is done):
-Calculates, per token, how likely is to be in each category (and
something else that I'm not following with the good and badMetric

guesser:
-Tokenize the new input
-Combines the probabilities of each token of the input, using the cache
to know how likely is this token to be of each category.

I think that this is a very high level design with some mistake for
sure.

If someone can calculate one example by hand and the result is the same
than Reverend would get some extra points :-D I'm only quite confused
with some things in buildCache...

[python-uk] Bayesian filter

2010-05-07 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hello,

(scroll to PYTHON TEST for a test)

I've took another look to the Bayesian filter (it was not my "task" :-)
but it's my pleasure).

Ok, to start, Reverend tokenizes the training texts and works only on
token level, not sub-token level. So we should not expect that will
detect c0mputer as computer (quite common mistake yesterday, I think)

(I was doing a high-level mathematical description, but I will postpone
-for when I will check some more things- or just leave for the Pythoner
who will do it for the next Meetup ;-) )

PYTHON TEST
car...@pinux:~/bayes$ ls training/
bash  c++  python

Each of these directories contains between 18 and 29 files that I've
copied randomly from different places of my hard disk.

Then I have:
car...@pinux:~/bayes$ ls guessing/
demanar.py  keymap.sh  medium.py  qdacco.cpp
car...@pinux:~/bayes$ 

some other files that I've copied there...

The Bayesian filter never knows the name of the file.

Just using this set for training, look the results:

- Start test
./guessing/qdacco.cpp [('c++', 0.6590693537529797), ('python',
0.59287521198182513), ('bash', 0.28091954259046653)]

./guessing/demanar.py [('python', 0.58882188718297557), ('c++',
0.57869106382644175), ('bash', 0.36380374534210203)]

./guessing/keymap.sh [('bash', 0.54270073170250122), ('c++',
0.47142124856042872), ('python', 0.36321294599284148)]

./guessing/main.py [('python', 0.65909707358336711), ('c++',
0.52731742496139433), ('bash', 0.3261511618248264)]

I consider it quite good. bayes.py is 30 lines long -could be less- and
it works pretty well, even having only parts of the program (don't tell
me to check for #include , #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/python, not needed
at all, works with snippets of code, etc.)

Yes, there is one case that guess that it's Pythonn and not far from
c++. I probably need a bigger data set, but even then if it guess it
"quite well" then is "quite good" :)

(I'm thinking, for example, in some service like pastebin, that would
guess that the code that you are copy-pasting there, and if you change
the guess, it can train itself with the new code).

My training sets are very noisy, and I should subclass Reverend and
improve the tokenizer to use a a separator "=", "(", ")" and other
things, since now a line like:
linia=random.randint(1,float(total_paraules))
It's one token...

The literals should be probably removed as well.

I'm taking a look to the statistics part. Here is a good start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naive_Bayes_classifier

I didn't think about it, but we could define a simple task (e.g. phone
book manager) and implement with different tookits. That could be very
nice.

Yes Dr. Falken!

Sadly I will not be able to attend on this Code Dojo.

I enjoyed a lot and expecting for next one (and eager to drive and

sadly I will be in holidays during this week.

Have you thought to use doodle? http://doodle.com/
It's to search the day that more people could attend. It doesn't require
registration, only that someone makes the template for the possible
days and people votes for days. We used in Python Barcelona with
success.

Well, it's up to the AI (I know that for Tic-tac-toe is not very
difficult). If we want to keep the Dojo under 120 minutes it's about 10
drivers (some time is lost, etc.). If we do tests as we should do, it
gives 5 tests and 5 incremental steps, or maximum 6 or 7. I haven't
thought about the problem, but whatever the problem is should be
possible to go from the scratch to the final result in about 5 to 7 baby
steps.

How it went?

Any blog entries?

Finally I didn't assist.

Thanks for the explanation of the "UnConference" topic. I thought that
was a conference organised using Wiki/mailing list, not same day :-)

See you next time/soon,

[python-uk] pyconuk

2009-09-01 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hello,

This Saturday is the Python Unconference:
http://pyconuk.org/

I'm not sure yet if I will go there. The only thing that I can see is:
http://wiki.pyconuk.org/

So I don't see any confirmed talk, schedule, etc. like I see from 2008:
http://pyuk2008.pyconuk.org/timetable.html

Anything behind the scenes has been happening?

Thanks,

I don't know why, I had in my agenda 20th August and not 19th August. My
mistake I guess.

Sometime maybe we can use doodle ( http://www.doodle.com/ ) to schedule
the meetings... :-)

I am 90% sure that I will attend (if it's one day trip from London). I
think that the problem is that we don't have a finally schedule and I
guess that lot of people is waiting for it to say "yes I go". I know
that this could be the wrong approach and people going should say what
they want... but sometimes is not happening this way.

Also, I could talk about something that I did 2 years ago aprox. with
Python and OpenOffice:
http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme/thursday_111.pdf

If someone is interested on it. Basically uses OpenOffice as a frontend
to show some data from Mysql.

Re: [python-uk] London Python Pub Night

2009-07-17 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hello,

Barcelona Meetup Group is using Meetup webpage (http://www.meetup.com).
I think that to create a Meetup it's needed to pay, not 100% sure.

There isn't any London Python Meetup created but there is a list 58
people who are interested on a Python Meetup.

I guess that mainly everybody is here or they will know that we do the
meeting. But it's just interesting to see that there is many people
interested.

Meetup webpage helps to organize meetups (sends reminders,
notifications, documents, etc. etc.) but nothing that it's not possible
to do with some mails in a mailing list.

Cheers,

How often is there a Python meetup in London?

I checked in meetup.com (we are using it in the Barcelona Python group)
but London group is on hold.

In one month I'm moving to London so I was wondering where the Python
people meets :-)
