Great to see people getting into this useful data structure. But this blog post makes a simple topic look super complicated. When all the math formulas are not needed to make the explanation work, they come off as just a gratuitous attempt to impress the reader. By contrast, Jon Bently, in his Programming Pearls 2nd Edition, page 145-146, has a much more concise and understandable description. The other nuances not mentioned fall out intuitively from what he describes there. I think needlessly complex descriptions of bloom filters are one of the reasons the approach seems less known than it should be.
