A collection of links for streaming algorithms and data structures

General Background and Overview

  1. Probabilistic Data Structures for Web Analytics and Data Mining : A great overview of the space of probabilistic data structures and how they are used in approximation algorithm implementation.
  2. Models and Issues in Data Stream Systems
  3. Philippe Flajolet’s contribution to streaming algorithms : A presentation by Jérémie Lumbroso that visits some of the hostorical perspectives and how it all began with Flajolet
  4. Approximate Frequency Counts over Data Streams by Gurmeet Singh Manku & Rajeev Motwani : One of the early papers on the subject.
  5. [Methods for Finding Frequent Items in Data Streams](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.187.9800&rep=rep1&t

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

I recently had the following problem:

  • From an unattended shell script (called by Jenkins), run a command-line tool that accesses the MySQL database on another host.
  • That tool doesn't know that the database is on another host, plus the MySQL port on that host is firewalled and not accessible from other machines.

We didn't want to open the MySQL port to the network, but it's possible to SSH from the Jenkins machine to the MySQL machine. So, basically you would do something like

ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 remotehost

trait Trait
object Object extends Outer {
val inner = new Inner

JavaScript idiot on Youtube
  • Why he doesn't use JavaScript to show examples of closure is beyond me.

JavaScript is an awful language to both demonstrate and practice functional programming.

  • You have no idea what you're talking about. Functions are first-class in JavaScript. Nine times out of ten, those who hate JavaScript just don't understand it and/or suck at it.

Ugh, well this is going to get silly.

Book recommendations
@channingwalton Recently read »I, Robot« from Asimov. The short stories are entertaining and very thoughtful.
@channingwalton I would like a wizard where I tell it I like Asimov (especially Daneel and Giskard) and Clarke, and it recommends others.
@channingwalton pretty much anything by Alastair Reynolds. House of Suns is particularly great.
@channingwalton I’ve enjoyed the Laundry novels by Charles Stross.
@channingwalton "Wool" series by Hugh Howey.
