Here’s a problem: say you’re ingesting roughly 4 million Reddit comments per day, and you need to detect the presence of 10,000 specific keywords in near real time. The naive answer is obvious – loop through each comment and keyword. Done. for comment in reddit_comments: for keyword in keywords: if keyword in comment: # alert … Read more
