I was curious and downloaded the code but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I thought I might find a database table with user ids mapped to link ids or comment ids. But I can't seem to find anything like this.
This ticket points to some of the code involved: http://code.reddit.com/ticket/520

I'm not sure how I would accomplish this, but I have built an application in PHP with MariaDB. I want users to be able to search for a word, and exact results, and results similar show up.
For example, a recent one, a user typed Adison into the search box, and nothing came up. The real spelling is Addison.
I saw some answers based on Levenshtein Distance, but I figure there has to be a simpler solution
I'm trying to use the "orderByChild" functionality provided by Firebase, but I stumbled upon a roadblock. The structure of my database is very simple, it looks a bit like this:
Root
Users
${UID}
ID
Name
Birthday
...
Now, I'd like to search other user's names without knowing their UID.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?
I could just download the users file completely but that does not seem like a good idea.
this about the question before posting it on stack overflow : you have to make a strategy to get this issue solved , I propose to you two possible solutions :
1)(very bad solution):
you parse the data from firebase and you put them in [<String , anyObject>] and you loop over this array in order to get the username that you want to get.
**
Ps: in term of performance and usability the worst thing that you
could do is to invoke the database to get unuseful data, so don't use
this solution in production.
**
2) you make a strategy for this:
look over what should be the relationship between a user and another and add new field for example friends and store on it the uids that you want to get.
(1) How do you "un-share" a bundle? (I know, this must be in the documentation. But I really can't find it. Sorry!)
(2) Is there any kind of user mailing list for Wakari, where questions like the above would be better targeted?
OK, well I ended up eventually finding it. So, just in case anybody else should look here. You can pull down a menu under your user name. One of the options is "settings." Within that there is an item called "sharing." When you click on that you get a list of your currently shared bundles with an option to delete them.
How's it going?
I've found a lot of more detailed answers relating to specific problems relating to RSS feeds, but I can't really figure out how you USE one, basically.
Could someone explain?
I see the RSS feed icon at the top of a lot of Wordpress sites, including my own, but when I click it, it just seems to be a long XML file. I don't know what to do with it, or even why it would be there.
How do you use this? Are you meant to hit it with an API request, or is there a particular kind of software that you use?
Cheers
Before telling you what RSS, let me describe you a common problem that many people have.
Say there is a bunch of sites that you really like and it's sort of a
daily routine for you to go thru them. They may be a news site, your
friend's blog, but also craigslist bcause you're currently looking for
a new house and maybe a weather site to know how late you should stay
at work :)
The first thing you do when you get to work, is open your web browser
and these sites in new tabs. It's not particularly cumbersome because
there are just 4 sites. But think about it: maybe there is a new blog
that you start to like and ho, these cartoons are really funny. Maybe
there is also a bit of financial info that you're interested in and
the pictures that your brother is posting to Flickr every couple day:
they just had a new baby! Also, as you're trying to buy a house, you'd
love a little raise and you've figured that your boss really likes it
when you tell her that you've read about your company in the news or
when you tell her about a new competing product... There is also
StackOverflow. You're desperately trying to get this "expert" badge
and boost up your reputation: this may help with your boss too or even
when you're looking for a new job.
Opening all these tabs is starting to take a toll and you keep
forgetting an important one. You're also slowly getting tired of the
different reading experience that all these sites have: small fonts,
large fonts, ads all over...etc. Now you have a problem.
Imagine there is a tool that does the following: you can tell it what sites you care about, and then, this tool will look up the new stuff for you. It will show everything in a nice looking format. It should also help you identify what's really worth seeing ASAP or maybe have some kind of "serendipity" mode that you can go into and find interesting stuff that you would have missed otherwise. The tool will obviously send you to the original sites should you need more info about any particular story or classified...
This tool exists. It's usually called a Reader, mostly because it lets your read more things online. Often times you'll see them called "RSS reader", because RSS is what they use to get the information from all these sites. RSS is the pipe. You as a user should probably not know about it, but that's what the readers depend on. In an ideal world, when you're on site you like, you should just hit "follow" on a button like this one and then you'd be redirected to your reader of choice. Later when new content is added, you'll get it straight in your reader.
To get a bit into more technical details, RSS (like Atom) is an XML flavor. It's a collection (mostly reverse chronological) of entries. Entries have at least a title and a link to the actual story. They should also include a unique identifier and could have other elements like a description, an image, tags, author information... etc.
RSS is great because it's content agnostic. It can be used to represent a lot of different things (as described in the little story) and decouples the publishing platform from the subscribing platform: they don't even know the other one exists. RSS is their lingua-franca.
I wrote a blog post about this very question not long ago. Here's the link if you're interested in reading my personal interpretation. https://www.rss.com/whatisrss
An XML file is all the content of a page, with no markup. The XML represents the data in its rawest, most descriptive form. Many readers can interpret XML sources from a variety of places, and format all of the data in its own unique way.
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:

And for specific questions, it would be fruitful if you ask on project's forum itself:
