A real-world Python example that makes sense
The Problem
Correct me if I’m wrong, but what good are factory bananas that are peeled then wrapped in plastic?
- They’re expensive.
- They do not serve a purpose (a peel is replaced with another).
- Unless that banana is a banana cake, then it’s just a good old banana.
Well, the same goes for most examples on the factory design pattern, which are not useful from a data science perspective where readability and computational expenses of operations are real and can not be extended with object creation unless justified.
Take this for example:
As the example output is text-based, it faces the…
Problem Statement:
Whenever plotting Gaussian Distributions is mentioned, it is usually in regard to the Univariate Normal, and that is basically a 2D Gaussian Distribution method that samples from a range array over the X-axis, then applies the Gaussian function to it, and produces the Y-axis coordinates for the plot.
In the case of a 3D Gaussian Distribution however, the sampling happens over both the X-axis and the Y-axis, and the coordinates are projected over the Z-axis. This case is rarely mentioned in tutorials, although it is very useful in many situations.
Solution Outline:
To sample over two axes: X and Y, you need…
Introduction:
HHVM is an open-source virtual machine designed for executing programs written in Hack and PHP 5 and 7. It achieves superior performance compared to the Zend Engine by utilizing a just-in-time (JIT) compilation approach.
Hack is an open-source dialect of PHP created by Facebook, its most distinct feature is gradual typing (allowing both static and dynamic typing).
The Goal:
While there have been excellent guides around on how to install HHVM, most are for older releases of Ubuntu, and I ran into minor hiccups trying to follow them, therefor my aim is to streamline the process for the 18.04 release of Ubuntu.
