Compare these numbers with a report by the UK government (page 19 and 20):

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

I don't understand how there are 1613 vaccinated deaths versus 722 unvaccinated deaths. This is a period covering Feb through Sep, so it went from the low vaccination levels at the start of the year to high levels now.

If you look at the CDC numbers in their PDF you would believe Biden's claim "this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated." 91% of the deaths from Apr4–Jul17 are from the unvaccinated. The number of overall cases among vaccinated are a small fraction of the total, where the UK numbers that's not nearly the case.

Both countries use the same Pfizer vaccine. Can someone explain the discrepancy?
I love React.

Cross component communication is always a challenge and the event driven approach just makes React simpler and more fun.

How does VueJS solve the problem of cross cutting?
No. I'm using a callback in the setter which gives me the latest i and the setter never changes. If instead I would use setI(i+1) I'd have to add i as a dependency, but since state updates happen asynchronous, this would have a bug when calling it multiple times before the state is flushed.

The automatic code analysis tools. Sure they existed, but they need to fit into a workflow and get approval for use (which takes about ten years in enterprise these days).
This. Now every new feature in that area of code is more complicated than it could be, for no benefit.
You can also double stack on the well cars (subject to height limits of the route); if you really want to hit the car weight limit, four 20foot containers at road limit should be close to the rail limit, depending on how much trailers and well cars weigh.

One thing I like about R2 is that it is affordable and can even be used for private stuff. Most AWS stuff I cannot use as a private person because the costs explode.
Totally agree, that aspect made me roll my eyes. Very unnecessary even if it provides a skeleton for the narrative.
Well done.

This reminds me of how I personally experienced the pain of writing payment code a year or so before Stripe came out, then quickly moved onto more fun stuff - exactly as described in the "Schlep blindness" essay - http://www.paulgraham.com/schlep.html
> I appreciate you sticking up for me here, but you gotta let it be. They won’t drop it as long as you play ball with them

Well, its not about you per se. Instead it is that I am consistently disappointed, in how impossible it is to get a bad faith actor to drop the act.

I have had similar such conversations, with quite literally hundreds of people, on various social media platforms, and I can only think of maybe 1 single time, that I got the bad faith actor to drop it.

Even this whole "copy paste the same answer and don't respond to anything that the other person is saying" is one such bad faith tactic, that comes up often enough that it is a consistent pattern.

Its disappointing, thats all.

The cathedral with the highest nave (ie height of ceiling in the main worship area) is the Hagia Sophia. Its nave is ~7.5m/25ft higher than any other cathedral.

Although it still stands, it is technically not a church anymore. The Romans took it for a while and then the Turks. It had been a museum and last year became a mosque again.

No, because both of those unknown factors affect the cost-benefit analysis of taking the vaccine.
I'd say the word "revolutionary" has just become an inflationary term for "evolutionary": really - it's thrown around willy nilly with everyone, PR guys, and their mother to describe any sort of improvement (or, more often, "improvement").

It really dimishes (and mostly eliminates) its value.

And yes, it so grinds my gears.

> and I am sorry to break the news to you. Vaccinations won't make corona go away. I fact it may force it to adapt faster.

The virus spreads more rapidly among and lives for longer inside the unvaccinated, as a result getting much more exposure to human immune systems, and thus giving it more opportunity to evolve.
Sorry, but we have to :)

We added loads of genuinely useful new features to our SaaS app over the past year, such as the ability to mute notifications, quick user-switching with a PIN, and non-exclusive user role membership, and more - despite mentioning this in our monthly user newsletter we still get peppered with support emails and feature-requests for things that already exist! Additionally our feature-usage data showed that users just weren’t using them.

After we added a forced (but only 15 second long) new-feature-tour those support tickets evaporated and user-satisfaction went up.

Gotta use tough-love, it seems.

Users are weird - we have a bog-standard “user menu” in the top-right corner that’s got the usual visual-affordances and opened by just hovering your name and avatars - with menu items like Logout, Switch User, Dark Mode, etc - but to our surprise the vast majority of our users simply never explore the software.

It wasn't the code that was the issue (and you probably wouldn't want an S3 compatible API). It's that on top of the Durable Store pricing, you need to pay for the $0.15/million requests + $12.50/million GB-sec processing + $0.09/GB data transfer.

Given the point of R2, the fact there's $0.045/GB ingress + egress data transfer (which has been recently reduced from $0.09) when using Durable Objects.

Given the original comment is basically about egress being too expensive therefore R2 is offering to for free, Durable Objects' Store isn't a particularly good alternative to just using S3 or DynamoDB unless you're already using Workers/Durable Objects.
As much a I enjoy writing FP code in some specific situations, the problem described in this article is exactly why I usually do not reach for it when I need to solve quickly practical, production-oriented problems.

In an imperative setup, this problem simply does not exist.

In an FP setup you need to do brain contortions to get a solution to a trivial problem going.

So Cloudfront at the base price is more expensive depending on the geography. That said, you can restrict your price class to class 100, let the volume pricing kick in, etc to get a maybe a 10% to 50% discount at huge volumes. Or you could negotiate and prepay / pre-commit to get a 60% to 70% discount.

The difference is still insane.
If all we get from this is the impossibility of droning children in the Middle East, it's a worthwhile tradeoff in my view. But I feel like we'll get more than that, in time.

A competent dev experienced in event sourcing can build a system that leverages this without taking on so much cost. But… they’re expensive and hard to find. So most experiences of event sourcing look exactly like you describe.
50% price/performance is very compelling. If you talk to a large company and say "you can cut your compute bill in half with a single re-deploy" they will be very happy.
As someone who leaves every two years: don't take his words for gospel. Do whatever works for you.

It is absolutely possible to grow in the same company. Never worked for me but I've seen it many times.

Staying with the same company for too long might not be the most efficient way to make more money, though
Except you can put R2 in front of S3 and set it to "slurp" mode. That way as objects are requested through the normal course of use they'll be stored in R2. You can then keep S3 as a backup, or delete the objects that have moved over.

Being a proxy is cool.
They’ve built out a global network presence… it would be silly for them to not at least try. I really hope they build a cloud; AWS and GCP are the only serious players in the game but neither seem too concerned about lowering prices. It’s all about providing “managed X” and “hybrid Y” for them.

> Setting a 0 or 1 in SLT was another design error. People designing GPUs demonstrate that they know the better design sets a 0 or ~0 (all ones).

Going from 0/1 to 0/~0 (or conversely) just takes a NEG instruction. All in all, it's a trivial difference. And it's hard to say what's more convenient in actual code.
I can see the point of that you must be good to do math professionally, good enough that someone will be paying your salary.

I'm skeptical of Wix's engineering principles because I've used their product and it's hot garbage, or at least it was 10 years ago. (I'd forgotten Wix existed.)
People over-apply his patterns. Some patterns that are useful in niche edge cases suddenly become a ‘best practice standard’, sprayed anywhere and everywhere. My rule of thumb is that you should only use his patterns if you could afford to hire him to code it for you.
I totally agree with this, and I'm still sad that what Theranos was planning to do with Walgreens was canned.

I mean, if I could walk into a Walgreens, choose from a menu of lots of different tests at transparent, low prices (IIRC a lot of their prices were great), get a normal, standard venous blood draw, and then have that draw analyzed while I finishes shopping at Walgreens so I could get my results in 15-20 minutes, I think that would be a fantastic experience.

Is there some reason the above is not possible or viable?
The find my implementation is designed to be completely anonymous.

You must have worked on some incredibly bad software to have non-determinism dominate your life. If a request fails then retry it just like a user would. If it keeps failing there's a problem. If it works then move on. I doubt your bank just throws in the towel and says "whelp software systems are inherently non-deterministic so we'll just forget some transactions here, allow the wrong amount over there, forget tests they're hard we can handle a little chance in our payment flows". The closest thing I've heard to that is amazon very occasionally shipping multiples of the same item because it was allegedly more expensive to implement immediate consistency than to ship a few duplicate items.

Thanks! I’d like to avoid AWS, Gcloud, or any web hosts because if they shut down your hosting account and deny access for whatever reason, you can’t login and point it to a new host.

Google in particular—It’s not too far fetched to assume they’ll sell off Gcloud or shut it down if they don’t clear some insane revenue hurdle.
It can be permanent damage up to the point of permanent paralysis, or even death.

So yes, there is no guarantees.

In some people it can trigger an autoimmune disease as well, that's also for life.
Whoever wrote this sounds like an awful manager: extremely self-centered and mixes poor rationalizations with pseudo empathy so as to seem as a decent person. In other words, I find that managers with that much... personality are the hardest to manage (harhar!); they can be extremely flippant in their behavior and unpredictable with demands. Maybe they take the job too seriously? You just need to keep push some boxes around on zenhub and send some emails my dude, this isn't the crusade and you sure ain't no knight (lmao).

About 8 years ago there was bruhaha with some ISPs charging Netflix (or their CDNs at least) for peering; is that something that cloudflare has run into?

Given the rather large margins of home ISPs, it seems like they have you over a barrel if they set the price point sufficiently below the cost of transit without peering...

The UK vaxx rate goes above 90% in high risk older populations. Note how 1,565 of the 1613 vaxx deaths are in the >50 age group. Simplifying a bit, the absolute numbers indicate:

* The death rate in >50 and vaxx population is 5x smaller than the death rate in >50 and unvaxx population.

* The death rate in <50 population is an order of magnitude smaller, with a negligible impact when naively computing age-independent rates.

There is a report I also linked in my other comment that computes rates by age group. See tables at pages 13-16 and charts at pages 17-18.

What I cannot wrap my head around is that covid case rates for >40 age group are higher among vaxxed than unvaxxed, and 30-39 roughly on par. Only in <30 there is a significant 2x-5x reduction in the number of cases. Weren't the vaccines supposed to be effective in preventing infection?

Prediction: As time moves on, we're going to see the definition of 'fully vaccinated' shifting from 2 to 2 + k boosters, and we're going to pretend that 2 + k - 1 boosters are 'unvaccinated'.

ARM is cheaper on AWS per the unit of work done, in the general case. But there should be no assumption that ARM is that snappy little brother that will launch your lambdas in no time while x86 is still starting up, this is the kind of idea that I get when reading the comments mentioning ARM. It won’t launch your virtualized environment that noticeably faster. It’ll just do more work for less money, and 40% is probably not the figure that you’ll see in real life.
To push this line of reasoning one step further: Therano's CEO's entire strategy seems to have been "fake it till you make it".

In other words, many an actually useful/profitable companies was started on an idea that was known to be impossible from the get-go, but they amass enough capital, visibility and momentum that they can later "pivot" to something that actually works.

Whether that scenario falls in the "fraud" bucket is an interesting question.

I started home automation in my late 40-ies, as an amateur developer.

Despite having casually developed for 25 years at that point, I found it amazing how much I learned quickly when setting up Home Assistant and pyscript (and obviously mqtt).

This drove me to use a bus (mqtt for instance) for non-home automation code just because it is so useful.

To friends who wonder how to help their kids get interested in coding (which is not easy at the beginning because converting farenheit to celsius gets boring after some time), I tell them to buy a few zigbee devices and have them automate stuff in pyscript. I am happy to see that some are on the way to graduate in CS :)

That is a gross mischaracterization, although one that I would expect given the track record of this conversation. Your comments are filled with an unhealthy level of vitriol, and I think it would be a good idea to cool down for a while.
if you read the actual research provided by the OP it shows way more than that. The measures did not only crowd out hate speech, the study followed individual users and noted that they moderated and changed their behavior once they moved to other communities after the more extremist ones were banned, and they individually changed adapted.

That implies that the there's a positive effect even on the individual level, not just a silencing effect. Which seems completely in line with say, busting a cult in real life.
You just hold either of the volume buttons + the lock/unlock button for a few seconds. Order doesn't matter.

It definitely was simpler/more discoverable back before they got rid of the home button, since the lock/unlock button wasn't pulling double duty as the Siri launcher. "Hold the button longer to shut down harder" is how computers have worked since forever.
QM being linear doesn't make the universe linear. Schrodinger's equation doesn't work across measurements (or universes.) And if you try to weasel out of that by saying we will describe the multiverse instead, you have just created the unexplainable phenomena of being in a specific universe, with no way to accurately describe the process behind the random choice of the universe you reside in.

I remember a conversation with an inexperienced PM, who was still in the mode "we need to add X because a customer asked for it".

What I've learned - although I've never had a PM role - is not to blindly just give customers what they ask for, but to figure out what they really need. Their feature requests are often a proxy for something else they aren't able to articulate.

Another thing to be careful about is adding that one thing a customer asks for but nobody else does. You end up wasting cycles and bloating the product with these one-off asks. Sometimes you have to stand your ground and say "no", because the ROI just isn't there. Startups in particular are vulnerable to this because they haven't got a large enough customer base and capital yet to comfortably say "no", and end up with features jammed into the codebase that are still there, years later, when the original customer that asked for them are long gone.

There are exceptions of course - perhaps the feature is for some legal requirement e.g. "we need to show this specific set of Terms & Conditions before the user clicks Yes" they must have and can't live without.
See? You’ve been hardwired to look at things through a lack of them.
Doesn’t this depend on yoe? Startups could certainly match faangs for early career engineers but the more experienced folks are likely going to get unmatchable offers.

Not everyone cares about the money though. After a certain point you get tired of politics and process and just want to build things. A successful startup culture seems like a win win.
