Where can I get free or sample open edx exportable courses? - openedx

Any idea where can I get a list of free / sample open edx courses to populate on my app? I need to add at least a hundred sample courses as for my boss' requirements. Tried searching but stumbled only to one course from MIT.

How to convert a human-readable timeline to table using existing ML tools?

I have this timeline from a newspaper produced by my Native American tribe. I was trying to use AWS Textract to produce some kind of table from this. AWS Textract does not recognize any tables in this. So I don't think that will work (perhaps more can happen there if I pay, but it doesn't say so).
Ultimately, I am trying to sift through all the archived newspapers and download all the timelines for all of our election cycles (both "general" and "special advisory") to find number of days between each item in timeline.
Since this is all in the public domain, I see no reason I can't paste a picture of the table here. I will include the download URL for the document as well.
Download URL: Download
I started off by using Foxit Reader on individual documents to find the timelines on Windows.
Then I used a tool 'ocrmypdf' on ubuntu to ensure all these documents are searchable (ocrmypdf --skip-text Notice_of_Special_Election_2023.pdf.pdf ./output/Notice_of_Special_Election_2023.pdf).
Then I just so happened to see an ad for AWS Textract this morning in my Google Newsfeed. Saw how powerful it is. But when I tried it, it didn't actually find these human-readable timelines.
I'm hopefully wondering if any ML tools or even other solutions exist for this type of problem.
I am namely trying to keep my tech knack up to par. I was sick the last two years and this is a fun problem to tackle that I think is pretty fringe.

Append more than 100 products in Adobe Analytics

if i add more than 100 products under s.products in adobe analytics, I am seeing 414 status code
First, since you got this error, and I see in your screenshot it is a GET request, it sounds like you may not be using the latest Adobe Analytics AppMeasurement library (AppMeasurement.js) and Experience Cloud ID Service (VisitorAPI.js) - or at least a version that supports POST requests. So the first thing I suggest is update to the latest libraries.
But second - and perhaps more importantly - as #RobertSim commented - what are you doing that requires pushing 100+ products to an AA hit? I've been doing this for over 10 years with countless clients both directly working with them and indirectly on help sites such as this, and this is the first time I have ever seen someone try to push so many products at a time.. I'm a little impressed.
But nonetheless you are almost certainly going about things the wrong way. Are you trying to do product impression tracking on a category/product listing page? There is no way a visitor is viewing 100+ products at a time. The standard is to do top 5 or top 10 on a category/product listing page.
Are you trying to push meta data about products to AA? Definitely should not be doing it like this. You should probably be using SAINT classification uploads.
Provide more details about what you're trying to do here, what's the goal of this, etc. and perhaps a better answer can be given.

Get hour data from yahoo finance

How can I get finance gata from yahoo.finance in realtime? I tried select * from yahoo.finance.historicaldata but there only data by day not by hours.
You're querying a table called historicaldata, it is probably only updated once a day. Another table, quotes, may have data updated on a more frequent timer (hourly, as you've mentioned).
Unfortunately, I think you've run into a limitation of Yahoo's free financial data feeds. They have to purchase market feeds from the source (NASDAQ, NYSE, etc.) (or close to it) and those feeds aren't cheap. If you want truly real-time data, that's something you'll probably have to cough good money out for.
There are other sources besides Yahoo though that might get you down to 15 minute updates. I will leave that research as an exercise for you since that's out of scope for StackOverflow. If you do find a different source and are having trouble reading from it, do please feel free to ask another question here! The more closely related to actual programming the better response you'll get from the community.

Bloomberg Add-In Total Return Monthly Ticker/ function

So I want to extract the monthly total returns of a rather large selection of stocks (hsci) over a period of 10y+.
I haven't found an option to do that directly with the bloomberg panel (just at 1 point of time not the whole time series (120+ data points per stock).
With internet research/ asking people a possible solution came up:
Use the Excel Addin with historical end of day data and find the total return function and set monthly data. then just replace the ticker of the stock in the formula and that's suppose to be it.
I cannot set it up though. Can I anyone walk me through? I cannot find the correct total return function first of all and don't know how to put the pieces together.
Hope this question isn't too easy. I feel already sort of embarassed.
Kind regards
SLC
Most importantly, you need to have a Bloomberg Professional subscription, it's not clear from your question if you have one. If you do, install Bloomberg Professional (Bloomberg Terminal) PC. You can download it from here. Installing the Terminal also installs the Excel add-on. After installing, log into the Terminal, then open Excel, click the Bloomberg menu in the ribbon, click Import Data, Real-Time/Historical, choose the stocks and date range and follow the wizard.
If you don't have a Bloomberg Professional subscription, you can contact a Bloomberg sales rep, but they don't come cheap.

Ambitious Networking Project for iOS, need direction

I'm challenging myself to write an app I know nothing about in 2 months time and I need some direction. Suppose you wanted to create an awesome iPad app that takes craigslist posts and displays them in a neat fashion. How would I gather the information from craigslist.org using Objective-C/C in xCode? What objects would I be interacting with to create network connections and how would that information be read in? Would I be reading the source code?
Thank you!
Craigslist has RSS feeds, so I suppose you could just get the link, parse the feed, and display it on a table. There are too many examples to count out there on how to do that.
