Another suggestion: try running a copy of Tolkien's Middle-earth map to transfer the style to a more detailed USGS-style map [1]. [1] e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=usgs+map&safe=active&client=...

It is a matter of the heart, which is why the final statement in the article that swearing is not immoral rings hollow. The author tries to deconstruct what swearing is, but fails to mention "cursing" which calls evil down on s

1/3 time is spent in the p_reduce step, and another 1/3 in elemwise. Not exactly sure what those do, but I'm guessing it's related to the reduce-map-reduce steps of evaluating the standard deviation and then dividing th

Reminds me of a colleague who was filling out a medical form for his son. He got stuck on one question, so he took it up to the front desk. "This question," he said, "asks, 'Are you concerned about your child's h

There's a great book that attacks dense writing and how to fix it [1]. It is a quick read. For example the author takes this sentence: Pelicans may also be vulnerable to direct oiling, but the lack of mortality data despite numerous

Impressive, but it seems an inversion of paradigms. Small data to compute ratios is usually associated with high performance computing (HPC). Why use Spark when the data is small and is broadcast to each worker? You have to pay the seria
