To call this Dijkstra inspired is an understatement! Playing this game is literally solving Dijkstra in your browser.

Good idea, I'll add some samples in a bit. There's nothing on them except what you add.

No, not at this time, but please let me know if a card doesn't come out to your liking.

It's pretty basic. We scale and crop the minimum amount to fit the card. It would be pretty cool to try something more advanced like facial rec or seam carving [0]! [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NcIJXTlugc

This is actually not quite the reason that HT occurs before HH, and is called the Gambler's Fallacy [0]. The reason HT is likely to occur quicker is: after a failed win, HH needs two flips to win (1/4 chance), but HT can win in ju

If they both fail to get what they need on their second tosses, it's possible for Alice to win on the next flip, but Bob needs two flips to win! If Alice has failed to win on her second toss, her flip sequence was "HH", so sh

It's not a question of technology - the technology is impressive. I think the argument is that their aren't legitimate use cases outside of gaming.

I'm working on some analysis showing more of the functionality. It's like Excel connected to your Postgres! A common use case though is for people to use VQL to filter/aggregate the data and then export to Excel.

\e is the most amazing shortcut for big ugly queries! I found that I often want to do basic things, like see the schema and some sample values, maybe even the distribution of values. So, I ended up building a web UI, to do all of these in j

VQL is a gui for really quick analysis and plotting. It’s mostly for non-technical people, but we’ve had data science teams that use it to explore their data before breaking out IPython or Tableau. I’m the founder of VQL. Nothing on our sit
