what does the nowcast.dates attribute tell about the R object? - r

I am looking at a colleague's R script to learn from it. I notice he has used the attr(object,"nowcast.dates") in his script.
While the other attributes like $names,$row.names,$factor.vars, etc. are intuitive to understand I am not sure what to make of $nowcast.dates. As the name suggest the output is date but not sure how these dates are fetched.
Can someone please explain to me what this attribute means?

Turns out my colleague explicitly set the attribute in the upstream script just as #rawr mentioned. I didn't realise we could create our own attributes. Now I know. Thanks to #rawr and #RuiBarradas

What's a good way to document Hydra configs?

In argparse you provide help alongside the definition of the argument. This helps keep the doc up-to-date with the args.
Is there an option to do something similar in Hydra? Or some other preferred way for documenting the options, without having to list them manually within the hydra/help message?
Edit: this becomes an even greater problem when using call/instantiate and the config options depend on the code.
Right now we recommend using hydra/help. We do have a feature request, feel free to follow/contribute to the discussions here https://github.com/facebookresearch/hydra/issues/633.
Thanks!

Solve deprecation about $this- get('twig')-> getextension('form')

I'm getting message like this in an application:
Referencing the "form" extension by its name (defined by getName()) is deprecated since 1.26 and will be removed in Twig 2.0. Use the Fully Qualified Extension Class Name instead
The code causing this is:
$this->get('twig')->getExtension('form');
There seem to be some related threads, but I've been unable to find a solution for this. I've also taken a deep look at deprecation notes, but I've been unable to find anything that, with my knowledge, helps me to solve the problem. I'd ask for a clear solution for what I have to do to get rid of this message, that doesn't allow me to even try to upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Well, I think I've found the solution. I just needed to find out the FQCN for the specific call, and it's
Symfony\Bridge\Twig\Extension\FormExtension
So, adding
use Symfony\Bridge\Twig\Extension\FormExtension;
and replacing
$this->get('twig')->getextension('form')
with
$this->get('twig')->getextension(FormExtension::class)
solved the problem.
I think there should be a more specific guide about what to replace and the replacement for each case.
Regards.
PD: I'm trying to find out how to mark this as solved, but maybe I'm not allowed to do this kind of things yet.

How to convert IFC file to OBJ File...?

I am trying to convert IFC file to OBJ and Reverse OBJ to IFC using C# .Net.
If any body has any idea. Help me to achieve this functionality.
For Ifc-to-Obj, you should take a look at the Xbim framework (xbimteam on github) as you will be able to generate triangulated polyhedron and then turn it into OBJ data.
In all cases, without a framework for parsing your Ifc file, you won't be able to go anywhere ...
It is going to be hard in opposite Obj-to-Ifc direction, as OBJ format does not contains building element informations you'll need to create an Ifc.
Might come a bit late, and I know that it doesn't directly answer the question regarding the programming language, but if you have the possibility to use JavaScript/NodeJS, you could use the ifc-convert package based also on IfcOpenShell. It worked fine for me. Hope it helps.

Use of semantic vectors

I want to use the semanticvectors API. I am completely new at this. I want to make a program which takes some documents and searches keywords and returns the documents which are conceptually similar to the search keywords. I want to know if there is any document from which I can get all the function and their functionality description and from which I can learn or if there is any example to do so.
I have checked
https://code.google.com/p/semanticvectors/
and
http://semanticvectors.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest-stable/index.html
but couldn't understand anything. Please help me. Thank you.
It is not clear what you want to do with SemanticVectors. Here is where you should start off with:
https://code.google.com/p/semanticvectors/wiki/InstallationInstructions
And for specific questions, it would be fruitful if you ask on project's forum itself:

How can I determine the position of an XML instance in an XMLList in ActionScript3?

What it says on the tin: I have an XMLList, and I want to find where in it a particular XML item falls. First index is good enough for my purposes.
Note that I have no problem writing a function to do this by hand... but I was hoping that the API has something buried somewhere that'll do it for me. I didn't see it, though.
Just loop through the xmllist until you find one that matches, then return the index in your loop (for loop with an index).
Without a code example it's a bit difficult to know what you're trying to do exactly, but maybe XML.childIndex() could the solution?
