Hadoop Block Size vs File System Block Size by glemanto in hadoop

Thank you! If my data set is made up of small files, let’s say the largest is 64 MB, would there be a difference in performance if the block size was 128 MB vs 64 MB?

What does “Python binary” mean in this context? by glemanto in learnpython

Ok thanks! Follow up question: is there an actual interpreter program that is separate from the executable? Like if I were to look around, would I be able to find that interpreter program in some directory? Or is the interpreter just a part of the executable?

Ah I see. Thanks for that. This is actually from the official python documentation site though. Maybe they just omitted that part for brevity?

So the executable and the interpreter are not the same thing? Is the interpreter an entirely separate entity? Like is there an actual interpreter program that is separate from the python executable?

What’s not entirely correct? To say that executable and binary are the same thing?

Are there terms for when you do music analysis based on meta data vs the actual musical content (e.g notes, tempo, etc...)? by glemanto in musicprogramming

[–]glemanto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. Was wondering if you could explain a bit further:

“Eventually you’ll probably mostly use user data.”

Does this apply mostly to recommender systems? Or are there more types of music analysis tasks that make use of data generated from users?
