  Algorithms like HyperLoglog are an exercise in Enumerative Combinatorics

    To add to this HyperLogLog, sketches and bloom filters are the magic that make most of modern distributed databases tick.

    that's not a helpful response. Congrats on knowing that, but the rest of us are still in the dark about the usage

  >Enumerative combinatorics is a branch of mathematics focused on counting the elements of a set. These people are experts on sets but then they use the word "every" instead of "some" or "a subset of". They just assume that everybody must be doing what they do.
