Talk:Jaro similarity: Difference between revisions

Add note about distance vs similarity.
(added some clarifying comments of what I observed for/during the errors.)

:::: Let me explain a little further.   When I use the original Leonardo HTML text   (that fails),   and then I see the failure(s) in parsing the HTML code,   I then use (open)   ''another''   Firefox session, I try to access the '''Rosetta Code''' site   (https://rosettacode.org),   Firefox comes back (eventually) and tells me that   ''the Rosetta Code site is down or is busy, try again later''.     I concluded that the Rosetta Code site is busy or stuck trying to complete and/or process the failing process and I also concluded that Rosetta Code is failing for all other requests/processes for all other Rosetta Code users during this time   ---   until I close the (Firefox) window that contains the error message(s).     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:58, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 
This page seems to be talking about the Jaro ''similarity'' (0=completely distinct, 1=identical), rather than the Jaro ''distance'' which is the other way around (0=identical, 1=maximally far apart). Propose that the task be renamed and the description reworded as such. --[[User:Markjreed|Markjreed]] ([[User talk:Markjreed|talk]]) 17:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
