I'm in the process of learning Scala and I came across a scenario today where I need to map multiple functions over a single piece of data and wondered if there was a formal name for this. It sort of feels like the inverse of map.
I'm not sure this is the correct way of expressing it, but this is what I did:
dmap(x: Object, fns: List[Function]) = fns.map(_(x))
Is there a built in way to do something similar? Is there a formal name for this function?
SQL is a powerful tool for querying data, and for aggregating it. However, you can't easily use it to draw inferences, to make predictions, or to tease out subtle correlations. To provide ever more sophisticated inferences to businesses, the race is on to combine the power of the relational model with advanced statistical packages. Both IBM and PostGres are ready with solutions. And SQL Server? Hmm...

Many of us went through a scenario like, can us pass a full of C# type/class to the javascript?
Modify from there and again return back to C#? The difficulty is that JavaScript only knows string format comared to C# which has many data types. So how we can pass an entires class to JavaScript? Here we need to handle with JSON serialization techniques.
Question about Byte-Pairing for data compression. If byte pairing converts two byte values to a single byte value, splitting the file in half, then taking a gig file and recusing it 16 times shrinks it to 62,500,000. My question is, is byte-pairing really efficient? Is the creation of a 5,000,000 iteration loop, to be conservative, efficient? I would like some feed back on and some incisive opinions please.
Best Regards.
