How to Build a Bloom Filter to Reduce Cache Misses in Python
Implement a probabilistic Bloom filter in Python that lets a cache quickly determine which keys are definitely not present, reducing expensive source lookups on cache misses.
import hashlib
import random
class BloomFilter:
def __init__(self, size=100, num_hashes=3):
self.size = size
self.num_hashes = num_hashes
self.bit_array = [0] * size
def _hashes(self, item):
result = []
for i in range(self.num_hashes):
hash_value = int(hash…How to Mock a UDAF Aggregate Function in Python
This code provides a minimal mock of a User-Defined Aggregate Function (UDAF), simulating the initialize-update-merge-finalize lifecycle with a defaultdict counter.
from collections import defaultdict
class MockUDAF:
"""A minimal mock of a User-Defined Aggregate Function.
Simulates aggregate lifecycle: initialize, update per row,
and finalize the result.
"""
def __init__(self):
self._buffer = defaultdict(int)

Runs an intent-to-treat analysis on mock A/B test data, comparing outcomes by initial group assignment with a t-test for significance.

ITT compares outcomes based on initial treatment assignment,
regardless of whether participants actually received the treatment.
