It confuses me why they wouldn't just verify the images since they have the signature in the manifest. Is this because they don't want to wait for a complete image before the start streaming through the pipeline? Is this actually

I'm the king of using ambiguous terminology (I wish I were clever enough to be ambiguous right now).

how much emphasis to give to which messages is always the hardest part for me to writing these posts. I'll keep in mind that at times I can be too subtle.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you left this as a comment on the original post.

Sure, but it's not a post about the bestest solution. It's a post about how using more advanced math can ("can" not "will") lead to a worse solution for your context. Fibonacci numbers in a long int is certainly a toy example; but it's a to

I do distinguish between math and Math. Decide for yourself what that distinction means.

best and scariest quote of the post Twitter has a PIN code feature that requires every message to be prepended with a four-digit alphanumeric code. This feature mitigates the issue, but is not available to users inside the United States

try a `gem update`. Memory performance should be much better now but I'm still curious about speed

sigh, memory leak. It's fixed in github. When camilo is around I'll get him to update the gem

yup, the order is biased. definitely worth a couple of minutes to fix that

but yes. it has to wait until the stream is done before producing any output.

the magic of reservoir sampling is the memory footprint is the size of the output while being completely random. In this particular implementation the order of the output is slightly biased but each row has an equal chance of being in the o

So the faults of AirBnB would be much clearer if the author would make clear that he understands he made obvious mistakes. This is one of those cases a little bit of mea culpa would have made his point so much clearer. As it is the reader s

Oh, I'm a big fan of logistic regressions. And this model actually has some logistic regression in the mix. But I just used this break down of 5 groups to easily report the performance of the model. I can also report a gini but it is way mo

Um... "You can write RESTful SOAP, I don't think the two ideas are perpendicular." (emphasis mine) He's saying they aren't perpendicular and also saying they are independent.

I think you may be confused on the meaning of 'perpendicular'

Ah ha! you guys weren't arguing about whitespace in code at all. This thread is just a proxy war for the vim/emacs holy war. I should have guessed.

Thanks wtvanhest I think we basically agree; you may just be taking issue with my very explicit representation of the formula. All that's really happening here is just a weighted average of daily churn rates. I really think you need to aver

That's very interesting context and all the more reason to spend time thinking about this stuff (or face the litigious consequences). I hadn't heard of this case before writing this article but I don't find the similar definitions all that

I first got R when I was reading Statistics: an introduction using R ( http://www.amazon.com/Statistics-Introduction-Michael-J-Craw... ). That said, I ultimately never fell in love with R so perhaps my experience is a bad example (though
