Video: Hash Array Mapped Trie
A Cube Drone video, describing the might and magic of the Hash Array Mapped Trie data structure in exacting, excruciating detail.
Video: HyperLogLog
Oh, god, I don't understand HyperLogLog at all. But I didn't understand Bloom Filters before I made a presentation about those! And then I totally rocked it!
I'll make my best attempt to understand this thing and share that understanding with you!

Who are you, and why should I care?
Hello!
My name is Curtis Lassam. I'm the creator of cube-drone.com, where I make comics about programming. I also make semi-animated short presentations about topics in programming, like bloom filters, or quicksort. I've delivered presentations at PyCon and CascadiaJS, I work in Vancouver, and I have this sweet bow-tie.
And now, I'm using Patreon, to ask you for money, on the internet.
How does this work?
You commit to donating a small, fixed amount of money per comic I create, and then, when I create that comic, I get the money.
I update the comic twice a week, on Tuesday and on Thursday.
What do I get?
Access to the Patreon Creator's Zone, where you get advance access to comics, the ability to comment on scripts before they've turned into comics, secret goodies like wallpapers and avatars, and comics that are either too weird or too off-topic to live on the main website!
Why are you asking for money?
Well, I love programming, but I've always wanted to be an artist, too. Cube Drone is a good way to be a little bit of both.
You all use Adblock, right? I get pretty reliable traffic to my site, but software developers make for a very tech-savvy audience, which means that you're all not very likely to trigger ad impressions.
If you donate a small amount of money per comic, that gives me a pretty strong incentive to keep posting on schedule and on time, and it gives me some float money that I can use for new projects, like trying to get some stickers printed. Or a book.
Won't you just make 100 comics in a month and attempt to cash out quickly?
I can't make content that fast! Even if I could, though, you can set a cap on your donations. If I make more content than you want to pay for, you won't go over the cap.
Okay! Give me your money!
