You're welcome! I think it's a beautiful palette, and I think people have come to associate me with it now so I don't think I'll ever change. I view all of my posts using the various colour blindness filters in the Chrom

That's the one! Thank you.

My gut instinct is no. I certainly don't think I'd be able to derive this algorithm from first principles in a 60 minute whiteboarding interview, and I worked at Google for 4 years.

Something no one seems to have realised yet is that the hero simulation at the top of the page is using reservoir sampling to colour 3 of the shapes black.

Something I've considered writing about in the past is how sampling affects the shape of lines on graphs. Render the same underlying data with different sampling strategies and show how the resulting graph can look extremely different

Good question. I'm not sure how suitable this would be to then do statistical analysis on what remains. You'd likely want to try and aggregate at source, so you're considering all data and then only sending up aggregates to s

Thank you so much! The dogs on the playing cards were commissioned just for this post. They’re all made by the wonderful https://www.andycarolan.com/ . The colour palette is the Wong palette that I learned about from https:

This is correct, they were independent works. It’s spoken about in “The Annotated Turing” by Charles Petzold.

That’s true, there’s no explicit definition of what an algorithm is. I may revisit this. Thank you for the feedback.

I love it. I love it so much.

I’m not sure I understand. I do explain what can be computed, don’t I? > Something is said to be "computable" if there exists an algorithm that can get from the given input to the expected output. For example, adding together 2

When I was working on this post I found the way that Turing defined “computable numbers” I bit unsatisfying as well. What would you suggest I do to deliver on this?

Oh loads, queueing has been around forever and there's an enormous amount of material on the topic. This post barely scratches the surface. One specific omission was an AQM strategy called "CoDel", which I'm expecting pe
