One of the mistakes Mixpanel made was to position themselves as a “better” Google Analytics. That meant a generous free tier without the benefit to search that Google gets.

Amplitude, from the moment I was aware of it, was more about productizing the Facebook/Zynga style product analytics approach.

I left Zynga for an early startup in 2011. At that time, I tried to use Mixpanel for acquisition and retention analysis - it fell woefully short. I wasn’t able to use any of the built-in reporting.

Meanwhile, I have been a mega fan of Amplitude from the first time I ever used it. It was built for the “product data” use case first, not as a Google analytics replacement. That positioning made it easier for them to demand premium pricing.

300 new cases / day, 5500 active cases, and 2 deaths / day, for a country with 10M people. (3 new cases / day, 55 active cases, 0.02 deaths / day, per 100,000.)

Compared with, say, the US: 112,000 new cases / day, 9,800,000 active cases, 2000 deaths / day. (34 new cases / day, 3000 active cases, 0.6 deaths / day, per 100,000.)

I don’t think we run out of work. People might need to adapt and do something else. But for software engineers especially, the open source stuff just gives you more tools to leverage for your employers/clients.
This pandemic isn't a scenario in a board game where the rules are clear cut and easy to parse. A lot of the "wishy-washy"-ness that people attribute to the CDC is actually just them responding to the changing situation on the ground. People demand to know what percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated to return to normal so answers are given - but those answers will change as our understanding evolves.

Vaccinations save lives - and not only your own. Do it.
You say you are using AWK on a daily basis, including web scraping. Most programmers use Python libraries Scrapy and BeautifulSoup, and R libraries like rvest and RCurl. How do you parse HTML with AWK - as part of a pipeline including wget, hxselect, and lynx, or just by using the AWK regular expressions? I couldn't find many examples, except for some basic Rosetta code script and random blog posts. Can you share some example script?
You pretty much have to coach it with a generous amount of "Not Interested", "Don't Recommend Channel", etc. clicks on video recommendations of the sort you don't want.
I couldn’t agree more. We have very little basis to judge whether the algorithm did Beethoven justice and so all the celebration is really for a non-event. A computer wrote down notes after other notes. Maybe they sound not too dissonant. That’s not news.

That's crazy and I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I'm lucky to have only had doctors so far in my life who listen to their patients and exclude possible diseases with the usual diagnostics. Sometimes medical doctors simplify small risks because laymen are often unable to judge them adequately in lack of good comparisons. The better way would be to provide meaningful comparisons, though.

This is literally why there's a shortage of everything. Look at oil in April
For those who were keeping track:

The virus is just like the flu it's not a problem

. The ICUs aren't that overloaded, theres no reason to worry

.. -> We shouldn't have a lock down that is this strict allow people to make decisions on their own

... -> Restaurants shouldn't be required to be closed for indoor dining

.... -> Let people chose to wear the mask or not (Considering the US/CDC's terrible stance on masks that wasn't safe on a society level [The US gov ignored and discouraged stronger masks such as KN95, KF94, FFP2 for civilian usage])

.... -> The vaccine is too new, need more info

..... -> It's not fda approved, can't take it

...... -> My freedoms/won't get it/don't have more info

It's not just citiziens that are spouting nonsense about this. It's government officials spouting this. I talked with an liqour board agent about why fining a lady operating a bar with live music during the peak of the pandemic is the correct thing to do. (Executive order banned indoor dining and alcohol consumption in the state) He literally try to discredit me at every step of the way. This was an executive order + strict liqour board rules put down.

Setting a policy, and effectively enforcing it, are two different things.

The fact remains that FB were 7 months earlier to this decision, however well they're delivering on that goal.
There's nothing more frustrating than a stupid machine telling me it knows better when it doesn't. I used to work on a team where the build defaulted to fail if something wasn't used and debugging was a fucking nightmare because the moment you comment out a block of code there's a cascade of warnings into errors that is just never ending (it was typescript so it leaked all the way back to module definition). I had to piss away some time to write a script to turn a bunch of the rules off and then remember to re-enable them later or I'd break the build by breaking someone's OCD.
Using Functional Paradigms in a FP language. Cool! All for that.

Bootstrapping pseudo FP styles into a Prototype Language with no types (JS is technically not OO, even `class` is just prototype sugar). Please no.

I really like concepts behind FP. I have tinkered with Haskell and gone through Bartosz Milewski's Category Theory material. That said, its radically different than traditional Procedural or OO coding. It really needs language level support to be useful, and that usually starts with types and the compiler. Open up "FP" libraries in non FP languages, and you often discover its just the same objects as the rest of the language.

That said, immutability is awesome. The concept of creating mutability boundaries and only exposing immutable data to external services and clients solves a whole class of bugs related to "who changed that?"
We use Docker Swarm so we can SSH into a manager and run `docker service logs` regardless of which hosts are actually running the services. I assume other orchestration systems have equivalent features.
> Rabies is probably the only virus where a vaccine is given after you get exposed (technically not infected yet, because you need to get it quickly enough).

Tetanus isn't caused by a virus; it's caused by a bacteria. But getting vaccinated for it after potential exposure is recommended if you aren't up-to-date, and it's recommended even up to 21 days after injury as tetanus can develop slowly: https://www.uptodate.com/contents/image/print?imageKey=PEDS%... https://www.mayoclinic.org/first-aid/first-aid-puncture-woun... I personally once got a tetanus booster shot on doctors advice following a small wound, because I hadn't had one for awhile.

Incidentally, the tetanus vaccine is unusual as it actually primes your immune system to attack the toxin produced by the tetanus bacteria, not the bacteria themselves. The bacteria are especially harmful only because of the toxin they release.
That is a good point. I used to fantasize of living in a fictional world where there is such a thing as inalienable human rights. I struggle to swallow the hard pill that a disease with a survival rate of 99.9% in under 65s has upended that fiction. (BTW, I am not facetious, and the coming winter risks being brutal).

I have long suspected that the modern 80 year life expectancy was a grand illusion. I wonder if the covid pandemic is Mother Nature's way of signalling that the party is over and it's time to return to 'Gaudeamus igitur, Iuvenes dum sumus'.

It's tricky. I've had some nasty stale closure bugs too. The ESLint hook plugin fixes these, but I wish that plugin wasn't required. And some of the hook rules are puzzling at first.

But, I've had way more annoying problems using class-based syntax. Twice the code, four times the pain. And TS type inference doesn't work as nicely with classes.

Vue got it right in many ways. At least back in the 2.0 days, the last I've worked with it.
I thought there was a sea change some time after Al Gore & An Inconvenient Truth, and someone decided to make it an identity issue.

Yeah, that is part of what makes me think it is relevant. Going form somewhat bipartisan to "our opponents are going to negligently incinerate us all" seems like a symptom of the breakdown of debate.
`StatelessFunctionalComponent` is not something that's publicly exported, at least from `"react"`. The convention is to use the `React.FunctionComponent`, or `React.FC` annotation.

> Functions (as in the term from "functional programming") do not produce side-effects.

This isn't true, even in the so-called "functional languages." Calling a function in Clojure could produce side effects, and the same is true in Haskell. In Haskell, calling a function that produces a side effect would necessarily return an IO monad, but that's a separate concern from whether the function invocation caused the side effect.

> Libraries are no longer universal. You have to consider whether it's using hooks or not.

You almost never have to think about this. Either a library provides hooks or it provides components. If it provides components, they could be implemented using the old component-style API or using function components; I have no idea, and it's irrelevant unless I plan to fork the library. Conversely if the library provides only a hook, I can easily wrap it in a thin component layer if that's the interface I prefer. The libraries are therefore effectively universal, since there's nothing that says I can't use a hook-based component within a function component, or vice-versa.
I think a big part of vaccine resistance is because of the insane levels of propaganda and censorship.

Anyone who is even slightly suspicious of authorities will be much more hesitant to take a vaccine when any criticism of it is effectively forbidden.

Put it the other way around, how many will be convinced to get vaccinated thanks to censorship? Here in Scandinavia, I'm sure at least 99% of people happily give their children the standard childhood vaccines, so it's not like people are anti-vaccines in general.

For those of us who aren't subtle enough, could you state your actual point?
Oh man, 90s so edgy. Many of these wouldn't even fly today.
Well depends on what you mean by "support", but I tend to agree most people would be better served spending a bit more (or repurposing older hw) and getting a recent atom/low end x86. They are surprisingly power efficient these days, and idle as low or lower than the rpi4's, and finding one with multiple NIC's shouldn't be to hard. And most are probably much faster than the A72's on the pi.

But you wouldn't see people posting about their successes doing this with a atomicPi, chuwi herobox, or the dozens of other inexpensive x86 machines that might be considered competitors because its assumed one can install $RANDOM_OS and configure vlan+routing with them.

OTOH, while the rpi's support is weak they guarantee supplies for a fairly long time. Which actually makes them a reasonable choice for this kind of thing if you plan on designing it once, sticking it on box somewhere and expect to be able to buy another in 5-8 years when it dies. Chuwi like random android vendors churns their product lines every couple months with upgrades.
Yes, and many folks are familiar with the lesser malaise and "cough that doesn't go away" for six weeks or so. You'll often see "so tired of being sick!" posts around February.

My anecdotal survey is that they don't take great care of themselves in the first place with diet/excercise, but also are highly likely to be vitamin D deficient. Factors that prolong recovery.

The effective result was that instead of having two copies of a file, I had zero copies of that file. The biggest bummer of that was that, at that time, I was living overseas and had a very restrictive quota of internet bandwidth - 2 gigabytes per month - so fixing the problem was very difficult.

You are confused of being memorable with being artistic or valuable. I could scare you with a big TV screen showing dead bodies, and that would be the most memorable thing you see that entire month.
There's definitely an organized push to disseminate anecdotal stories of "see, he didn't get the vaccine, and on his death bed, his last wish was for everyone to get vaccinated."

Maybe these stories are put out by the AP? I'm in Lincoln, NE. Omaha is an hour a way. And these exact stories will run in both local papers the exact same day.

Feels... slimy.
Companies in the pot industry are obviously going to be outliers. Its also already well known that cannabis and other drugs are highly prevalent in the food service industry.

As far as during work, the few places that could allow/tolerate use are the ones that don't care enough to have a policy anyway.

At work social events I can see attitudes shifting in some circles such that it might be acceptable to consume although there are some practicalities that make it difficult since there are rules about smoking/vaping indoors.

Additionally just as sharing beverages is uncommon at a work-social event, sharing a cannabis product like you would with close/casual friends is going to be a barrier. Everyone smoking their own joint/pipe is also less probable because the level of intoxication is quite high per joint/bowl/etc.

Other cannabis products such as edibles may be a possibility but there long duration and onset also makes them less practical plus you have to consider that eating an edible is such a non-event that it is hardly comparable to having a beer with coworkers over a long meal and/or discussion.

The extent I see cannabis being accepted at most work social functions is a BYO policy at outdoor/mixed settings.

However, I could see cannabis becoming more accepted at work (social)retreats which are typically outside, last at least a day or longer, and focus more on bonding and relaxing.

My point lies very much between the lines.
You get position/velocity/angle data directly, and it's less power hungry than running high-res cameras specifically. Also some research papers show an increased tracking accuracy with mmwave+IMU than RGB+IMU.

So less processing + potentially less power + better performance, in theory.

Except in Haskell, it's not just some pet bit of code by the authors. It's a shared abstraction with well understood laws and theoretical underpinning.

What people call "clever" code in mainstream programming is not in any way similar to the Haskell being referred to.

Luckily in the Haskell world, we don't ascribe negative attributes like "cleverness" to code that isn't outsider-friendly. We gain a lot by not requiring that all our code is understandable by a mainstream programmer.

Partial differential equations over multiple dimensions is innately chaotic, with exponential error bounds (the longer any simulation goes, the exponentially bigger the errors get).

But getting more-and-more accurate predictions is the goal of any weather modeler. If the exponential error bounds gives you currently 1-day worth of predictions before the models go to crap... maybe an improved algorithm (or 10x more compute power) can get you 2-days worth of predictions instead.

Even if you don't get a major change (maybe going from 1 day worth of predictions to 1.1 days of predictions), you might be able to convert that into 1/10th the compute power needed (ex: lower the accuracy down to 1-day prediction but cut back dramatically on the compute-power needed to perform the simulation).
I once spent a week working on a fairly complex feature for a product that the users were demanding almost daily updates on. I delivered it and, by coincidence, happened to be where the users were a couple of weeks later and I stopped by to say hello and saw that the user who had been asking for the feature every day was still using the product the "old way". I asked why and he didn't seem to follow what I meant, so I reached over and showed him the feature that he had been demanding I add and he said, "oh, wow, that's awesome, that's going to be such a huge timesaver for us!"

This is a feature of any device with a battery-backed real time clock (RTC). All x86 machines have this feature.

Pretty much anything with a clock that doesn't need resetting every time you turn it on can do this. An RTC chip is just a super low-power counter, and it costs almost nothing to toss in a wake-time comparator, so all of them do. When you set the wake-time alarm the host CPU really does power down 100% -- right after it sets the RTC chip's wake-time registers.

This is a long, long, long way from a microcontroller. It's not Turing-complete and has only a few dozen bits of storage for the counter. They're also manufactured on incredibly ancient fabrication processes (like 350nm until very recently) for lowest possible leakage.
I almost feel like the guide should be mandatory reading for anyone learning network programming. It gives extremely digestible summaries of most of the network patterns, when and why you'd use them, and then how they're done in ZeroMQ.
