Type mismatch when using map on a zipped list in Scala

How to fetch a URL containing a # with Fetch API?

Advertisements I’m using the Google Calendar API and to fetch the events of a calendar, you must send a GET request to the https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/calendarId/events endpoint. Problem is calendarId may contain a # like in addressbook#contacts@group.v.calendar.google.com and when when I fetch https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/addressbook#contacts@group.v.calendar.google.com/events, it’s only actually fetching https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/addressbook, i.e. the part of the URL before the #… Read More How to fetch a URL containing a # with Fetch API?

Understanding gradient computation using backward() in PyTorch

Advertisements I’m trying to understand the basic pytorch autograd system: x = torch.tensor(10., requires_grad=True) print(‘tensor:’,x) x.backward() print(‘gradient:’,x.grad) output: tensor: tensor(10., requires_grad=True) gradient: tensor(1.) since x is a scalar constant and no function is applied to it, I expected 0. as the gradient output. Why is the gradient 1. instead? >Solution : Whenever you are using… Read More Understanding gradient computation using backward() in PyTorch
