| | [Warning: Post contains full frontal nerdity. Bug reports appreciated!] I finally got a copy of Pham-Gia's paper on the distribution of the ratio of 2 independent Beta-distributed random variables. While I still have some childhood trauma around hypergeometric functions like ${}_{2}F_{1}()$ and its even scarier big brother ${}_{3}F_{2}()$... it's time to face my fears.

| | The integral formula for secant is often introduced in a very artificial way. In this post, I look at the history of this integral and give several derivations.

| Introduction Link to heading Varint is a widely recognized technique used for compressing integer streams. Essentially, it suggests that it can be more efficient to encode a number using a variable-length representation instead of a fixed-size binary representation. By removing leading zeros from the binary number, the overall representation size can be reduced. This technique works particularly well for encoding smaller numbers. In this article, I provide a brief introduction and rationale for varint encoding. Additionally, I describe the Stream VByte format, which enables fully vectorized decoding through SSSE3 instructions. I also share my findings from implementing this algorithm in Rust, which includes both encoding and decoding primitives and the ability to read data from both RAM and disk.
