[FRIAM] guide to git using spatial analogies

http://tartley.com/?p=1267 http://tartley.com/?p=1267think of the state of your repository as a point in a high-dimensional ‘code-space’, in which branches are represented as n-dimensional membranes, mapping the spatial loci of successive commits onto the projected manifold of each cloned

Speaking of git, it turns out my hosting service uses (and prefers, I believe) git over the others (svn, cvs, ..). But I haven't needed to use it but would like to start. What's the best guide out there for newbies? -- Owen On Dec 16, 2010, at 11:58 AM, Giles Bowkett wrote:

At this point it is clear to me (and it wasn't for some odd reason before this last set of examples) that you could be interested in the fractal dimension for at least two distinct reasons: 1) you are interested in something about computer code itself, 2) you are interested in something

I spoke to the guy who runs Complexity International, and he should get the journal website back online shortly, so you won't need to use the mirror. The paper won't change though :) On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 01:37:30PM -0800, Giles Bowkett wrote: Sounds like a useful metaphor to me. I think the

[FRIAM] Fractal Dimension of Map-Reduce Patterns

2010-12-16 Thread Jochen Fromm
Hi Giles, Fractal dimensions are a fascinating topic. What do you think, perhaps one can define a fractal dimension for certain map-reduce patterns that characterizes certain flows, streams, waves, whirls or vortices? That would be cool. Has anyone considered the connection between Map-Reduce
