New blog post: Containerised streaming data generation using state-space models - https://ruivieira.github.io/containerised-streaming-data-generation-using-state-space-models.html #blog #openshift #apachekafka #code #statistics #radanalytics

These #airport food shops remind me of wild west frontier general stores. Pay extortionate prices or good luck out there.

Heading for #Boston for the second time in a month! If you're attending #devconf.us I hope to see you in my talk on distributed streaming recommendation engines on #Apache #Spark!

Keeping up with cutting edge CS developments: "On-line Text Editing: A Survey" (1971), including this cool new thing, "Hypertext".

How should I hyphenate: near-real-time or near real-time? According to Oxford, near realtime is a nono (no-no, no no?).

Handy tips when using #graalvm's SubstrateVM:

"Despite the success of neural networks (NNs), there is still a concern among many over their "black box" nature. Why do they work? Here we present a simple analytic argument that NNs are in fact essentially polynomial regression models." #paper - https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.06850

Interesting post if you want to learn about #Apache #Arrow ("The Origin & History of Apache Arrow")

Article #13 (Censorship Machines, https://juliareda.eu/eu-copyright-reform/censorship-machines/) passed the EU committee today. But parliament still has to vote.

If you have a strong opinion on this, write to your MEP (http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html).

The different ways my name is misspelled never cease to amuse me!
