Hello all,

My patches to RandomSample were accepted earlier this month (thanks to both 
Jonathan and Andrei:-) so I thought I'd write a short blog post (which turned 
into a very long blog post...) about random sampling, the algorithms concerned, 
and its implementation in D.
http://braingam.es/2012/07/sampling-d/

If anyone's interested I may write up something more extended on the algorithms 
(if I can find a decent maths-notation solution for WordPress...) and on the D 
framework for random sampling (it could be fun to put up some creative examples 
of how to use it with different kinds of input).

Best wishes,

     -- Joe

Algorithm D in D. :D

You should know Chrome displays quite a weird stub while loading that 
page over a slow connection.

Anyway, vote up!

That would be awesome, and we'd put it on the website.

Ack.  That'll be the way that Chrome handles embedded website fonts -- doesn't 
display _anything_ until the fonts have loaded.  I really must try and find a 
way round that.

I'll see what I can do. :-)
