numerically stable implementation of the log-logistic function

Binary case

This is just the middle section of Bob Carpenter's note for evaluating log-loss via the binary logistic functoin https://lingpipe-blog.com/2012/02/16/howprevent-overflow-underflow-logistic-regression/

The logp function calculates the negative cross-entropy:

    dotproduct( [y, 1-y],  [logP(y=1), logP(y=0)] )

where the input s is the beta'x log-odds scalar value. The trick is to make this numerically stable for any choice of s and y.

example of using corenlp server from python
This code requires server to already be running: https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/corenlp-server.html
To start server:
java -mx4g -cp "*" edu.stanford.nlp.pipeline.StanfordCoreNLPServer -port 9000 -timeout 15000
To call it, e.g.:
curl --data "The man wanted to go to work." 'http://localhost:9000/?properties={%22annotators%22%3A%22tokenize%2Cssplit%2Cpos%2Cdepparse%22%2C%22outputFormat%22%3A%22conllu%22}'

Make plots with the "Google Image Charts" API.
The functions here return a URL. That URL will then throw a PNG back at you.
So embed them in <img src=...> or whatever.
This uses the "Google Image Charts API," formerly known as "Google Charts API",
which is officially deprecated and has been since 2012, I guess:

So look out I guess. But it is a MUCH better quick-and-simple API than their

stdout: the tweets as two-column TSV: ID \t TweetJSON
This retrieves tweets using the API.
If there was an error when retrieving a message - most prominently, if the

there should be exactly as many output lines as there are input IDs.

Detect emoji or other emoji-like things in Python.
The regular expressions here can be used to either identify emoji or to remove it.
The comments are written from the perspective of removing it.
The regexes get some stuff besides emoji.
