@avibryant that word does bring back memories... Learning scala. First nighthawk ever. I think I was still using IntelliJ@posco - End of conversation

@avibryant cool! Have you considered Spark? Similar API to Scalding, but no Hadoop--designed from the ground up for iterative computations. -
@ballaballinger yeah, I suspect Spark is the future, but I've been working in and on Scalding for a few years so it's very comfortable.

@avibryant neat! do you have an example program using brushfire? -
@b0rk just the TestJob in the repo, which is not very interesting. More to come. -
@avibryant cool! Can you include an explanation in the README of how to run the TestJob? My Scala-inexperienced self doesn't know how. -
@b0rk 'mvn compile && ./run'. Needs a "data" input file, TSV of ints, first column is label 0 or 1.

@avibryant What are you using to build tree, CART? -
@mgershoff it's fairly generic. CART would be the simplest instantiation of the framework... CHAID would be a more complex one, eg. -
@avibryant Used to use the CHAID / C4.5 a lot back when I was at the advertising agency during the '90s - clients loved it. -
@mgershoff I have a real fondness for CHAID as an explanatory/exploratory tool. -
@avibryant Right, you could either confuse the shit out of your clients (and yourself) rambling on about odds ratios or show them a picture

@avibryant "That's annoying, but it's not clear how to make Scala happy any other way." -
@sorenmacbeth dude, you hate you some types, dontcha? /cc@avibryant -
@posco@avibryant it's not even types. I'll write java when it makes sense. I just find scala to be unbearable. -
@sorenmacbeth@avibryant I don't think Java is what most people have in mind when they speak of type systems. -
@posco@avibryant ok, then I do hate types ;-)
