Today's links 17/2/2015: #Bigdata statistics theorems, teaching computer to make music, #Micorservices simulator

• Central Limit Theorem : reminder on this crucial theorem for statistics, i.e. how to reason about sample and their impact on our results.
• Teaching Computer to Write Its Own Music : a demonstration that computation could complement human creativity
• Bayes Theorem : the benefit of integrating Bayesian techniques to analyse data vs pure frequentist based approach.
• Spigo : Simulate Protocol Interactions in Go using nanoservice actors. Suitable for fairly large scale simulations, runs well up to 100,000 independent nanoservice actors. Two architectures are implemented. One creates a peer to peer social network (fsm and pirates). The other is based on NetflixOSS microservices in a more tree structured model.
