The code examples in this article use Azure Data Explorer. If you want to run them, create an Azure Data Explorer cluster and database: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/data-explorer/. Once this is set up, you can use the web UI to connect to your cluster and database: https://dataexplorer.azure.com/. Azure Data Explorer uses KQL, the Kusto Query Language. If you are not familiar with it, you can check out the quick reference here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/kql-quick-reference.

Genetic algorithms
When it comes to optimization algorithms, the gist is that we are trying to replace a brute-force search over the whole problem space with a local search that filters out as many points in the problem space as possible: finding the same result by searching a much smaller domain.
Optimization algorithms explore the neighborhood of…

Our traffic simulation can be modeled mathematically, using matrices and vectors. We’ll break down this process into simple, manageable parts. Consider for instance, a car that is about to leave Town 0 for one of the neighboring towns. There are G.degree(0) neighboring towns to choose from. Hence, the probability of traveling from Town 0 to any neighboring town is 1 / G.degree(0). We’ll compute this probability below.

Let’s assume you manage a company that analyzes purchasing of medicines to advise a pharmacy so that they can plan for new orders accordingly.
As such, you have access to the prescriptions that you have filled, with the names of patients, their birth dates, their gender(s), addresses, etc. The compilation of these prescriptions over a period of time will give you a sense of what the demand looks like…

The book focuses on designing and implementing individual microservices, but it’s worth noting that the term microservices can also be used to describe an architectural style for an entire system consisting of many microservices. Microservices as an architectural style is a lightweight form of service-oriented architecture (SOA) where the services are tightly focused on doing one thing each and doing it well. …

Why do accomplished companies and brilliant engineers find privacy so hard? They have skills that lead to amazing products and growing profits–why can’t they plan for privacy success as well?
It is time to set some context.
Too often, companies that make a mess of privacy do so not out of malfeasance or even incompetence, but dissonance. Companies tend to assume that the same techniques that make their individual…

From Machine Learning Bookcamp by Alexey Grigorev
In this series, we cover model deployment: the process of putting models to use. In particular, we’ll see how to package a model inside a web service, allowing other services to use it. We also show how to deploy the web service to a production-ready environment.
