Two practical applications from top of my head: * Do you want to build an index (for big data?), so that you can access your data fast (thing about a database). Well, the index construction is likely to do some sorting internally. * MapRedu

Yes, Daniel Kahneman describes this kind of cognitive bias as "what you see is all there is". A simple example given in his book* is to ask the members of any couple (or roommates) which percentage of the home duties he/she p

At first I found intriguing to see no mention of SDSL[1], which probably is one of the best libraries in the field of compressed data structures, including compressed bitmaps. Probably because the index is built to answer a "different

Another LZ fan here. My guess is that the "late" development of LZ is due to mainly two reasons: i) At that moment the pattern matching algorithms were not so advanced. E.g. suffix tree was very recent, and in the next years lots

I think there's no need to be so pedantic. Replace 10 for 1000 and now the scheme "works". Regarding > The solution to this is easy and is Huffman Well, not. As you said, for 10 bits doesn't matter; and in general it
