Probability Library Recommendations

Dr Harry Crane asked for recommendations for a "Probability Library".

These are some of the recommendations:

Harry Crane:

  1. Technical: An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications, Vol. 1, 3rd Edition
  2. Classic: Foundations of the Theory of Probability: Second English Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) by Kolmogorov
  3. Real World: Antifragile. NNTaleb recommended Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails (book in the works) instead over Antifragile.
  4. Application: Beyond Counting : Exploiting Casino Games from Blackjack to Video Poker by James Grosjean.

How to use Markdown as a filter in a Jinja2 template, and then extract the Markdown Meta property directly from the template. Assuming you want to use the Meta-data value before rendering the converted Markdown content (e.g. in the html head), the trick is to render the markdown first, save it to a variable (html_content in this example) using a…
from pprint import pprint
import jinja2
import markdown
HTML_TEMPLATE = """{% macro get_html() %}
{{ content | markdown }}
{% endmacro %}
{% set html_content = get_html() %}
Title from Markdown meta-data: {{ get_title() }}

Virtualbox alternatives for the Vagrant users

Virtualbox alternatives for the Vagrant users

Virtualbox is not your only option if you want to use Vagrant. Vagrant has decent plugins for qemu (vagrant-libvirt) and lxd (vagrant-lxd).

Make sure you get your KVM, Qemu and libvirt setup right and run:

$ brew install libvirt
$ brew services start libvirt # to restart service at login

Dotnet in prod

Via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18675776:

Using .NET Core on production here.

but delivering solutions on time and with minimum maintenance requirements afterward is just easier in python or JAVA

I would agree if you would replace Python/Java with Node, but with these languages I don't see it.

Clojure Design Decisions

Rich Already Answered That!

A list of commonly asked questions, design decisions, reasons why Clojure is the way it is as they were answered directly by Rich (even when from many years ago, those answers are pretty much valid today!). Feel free to point friends and colleagues here next time they ask (again). Answers are pasted verbatim (I've made small adjustments for readibility, but never changed a sentence) from mailing lists, articles, chats.

How to use:

  • The link below in the summary jumps at the answer on this page.
  • The link on the question itself points back at the original post.
