comparing unique anagrams?

Posted on 30 August 202028 August 2020 By antipaucity

How useful would determining similarity of words by their unique anagrams be? For example: “ROBERT” uniquely anagrams to “BEORT”; “BOBBY” and “BOOBY” both uniquely anagram to “BOY”. Is there already a comparison algorithm that uses something like this? What potentially “interesting” discoveries might be made about vocabularical choices if you analyzed text corpora with this…

splunk: match a field’s value in another field

Posted on 28 August 20205 August 2022 By antipaucity

Had a Splunk use-case present itself today on needing to determine if the value of a field was found in another – specifically, it’s about deciding if a lookup table’s category name for a network endpoint is “the same” as the dest_category assigned by a Forescout CounterACT appliance.

I recently had cause to do an extensive trellised timechart for a dashboard at $CUSTOMER in Splunk. They have a couple hundred locations reporting networked devices. I needed to report on how many devices they’ve reported every day over the last 90 days (I would have liked to go back further…but retention is only 90…

following-up to my ubi mindwalk

Posted on 3 August 20203 August 2020 By antipaucity

I omitted something kinda big when I wrote my one-time UBI proposal last year. I neglected to address welfare reform. Welfare would have to be changed for UBI to even have a half a prayer of working. The “easy” way to do this would be to phase-in reduced welfare benefits on a prorated-equivalent basis for…
