Unfortunately TypeScript's enums have various shortcomings compared to powerful sum types in languages like Rust:

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40275832/typescript-has-...

- https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/32690

In a TS codebase I'm currently working on, we have the policy of never using "plain" TS enums. Instead, we have a tool that generates our own enum objects using a schema and a generator script for the cases where we want "rich" enums. For other use cases, we use string unions a lot (in combination with a helper function that allows exhaustive matching).

Not really, the load gets spread out across your nodes so if you go from 1 -> 2 then the new AppointmentModule is handing 50% of the previous load. Thats just CPU. RAM tends to be stickier and you can easily cost yourself a lot more than "needed" to overprovision in this manner.
I think this is a good summary, and it even gets more complicated if you start using the DAX cache. Your read/write provisioning for DAX is totally different than the underlying dynamodb tables. The write throughput for Dax is limited by the size of the master node in the cluster. Can you say bottleneck?

> It's true that enums are harder to support for alternative compilers.

As long as it is supported — and at least esbuild does, who cares (as a user). Should I start avoiding every JS feature that is hard to implement in alternative JS runtimes?
Spot on. Much, much easier to isolate yourself now.

In fact, I'll concede it is even possible that you have to work not to isolate yourself when, after dipping your toe into the internet, you trip into the rabbit hole.
> I don’t think that’s really happening anywhere with omicron.

It's almost like a bunch of people got vaccinated, but the US is still losing thousands a day. More than a 9/11's worth every day for the past week.

> It may be that enough of the world is vaccinated at this point (or had covid) that there’s no way to properly compare.

The 10-30% unvaccinated in most developed nations provides plenty of statistically significant population, and we've literally done the comparing. (See charts: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/11/briefing/omicron-deaths-v...)

> But it definitely doesn’t feel anywhere near as bad as previous waves, even in the unvaccinated population.

We know it's less lethal, yes, but extrapolating that to "the vaccine isn't useful" is false.
I’m not sure about the prevalence but one major peeve of mine is when someone states, X is ten meters high. Fact check: Wrong, X is 9.6 meters high. It takes away credibility.

Not necessarily. Hitler likely wasn't going to get the bomb regardless and Hiroshima and Nagasaki will forever taint the USA.
In some cases you can use it to define string arguments to an external library. Maybe table names to an ORM or a well-known file path. This helps because you get autocomplete from typing `MyEnum.` and seeing options, even though the external function takes a plain string.
I'm not familiar with the fact checker Lead Stories and was curious what else they publish. I went to their Twitter feed [1] and something caught my eye, a story about the mortality of COVID vs the Spanish Flu [2]. The headline posted on Twitter was "Fact Check: COVID-19 IS Deadlier Than The Spanish Flu And Seasonal Flu" [3].

That headline shocked me, because if you follow the mortality statistics, there is no way COVID's worldwide mortality rate could draw anywhere near the mortality rate of the 1918 flu epidemic, which has been estimated at 1-6% of the entire world population (17-100 million deaths, world pop in 1918 approximately 1.8 billion) [4, 5]. COVID has been estimated at about 7 million deaths so far out of a world population of 7.9 billion [6], for a global mortality rate of around 0.1%. Even looking at total excess deaths, which includes a lot of non-COVID causes, you have 20 million, still at the lower end of the 1918 epidemic's range with a much larger world population [7].

Lead Stories eventually defends their claim by comparing Spanish Flu mortality to peak COVID mortality in New York during the early epidemic - a bizarre case of cherry-picking.

To their credit, Lead Stories did update their headline soon after tweeting that to remove the claim about Spanish Flu, but the lead sentence still reads as follows:

> Is this meme correct in saying COVID-19 is less deadly than what was known as Spanish flu a century ago, or current variants of seasonal flu? No, that is misleading...

This "fact check" raises some useful points but is itself pretty misleading.

Considering this and their significant failures in the BMJ incident, I would hesitate in trusting this fact checker to consistently provide high-quality, unbiased checks.

Oh come on. There's a limit to being pedantic
Fact checking is better referred to as "authority enforcement" or "mainstream validation".

Here's how you know the fact checkers are actually propagandists: you can't find their name or their credentials, or who they work for/paid them.

Why?

What's stopping you (or me, because I'm also affected) from exporting all data from Google, paying another provider for an e-mail service and changing the DNS settings?

Expecting Google to offer free services within their own sphere is one thing -- making gmail a paid service would be absurd, but this is not even close to being the same thing.
Saris, Lehengas and Why Carrie Bradshaw Should Know the Difference
DynamoDB (and other dynamo-like systems like Cassandra, Bigtable) are just advanced key/value stores. They support multiple levels of keys->values but fundamentally you need the key to find the associated value.

If you want to search by parameters that aren't keys then you need to store your data that way. Most of these systems have secondary indexes now, and that's basically what they do for you automatically in the backend, storing another copy of your records using a different key.

If you need adhoc relational queries then you should use a relational database.
Back in the day usage of the internet grossly over-represented one country with a concept of free speech that, by global standards, is extremist.
>It makes capitalist sense to do disaster planning.

Until a yet another black swan event happens that requires the government to step in and help them with the eventuality they didn't plan for. Like COVID. If there are two companies competing and only one of them pays to be resilient against disaster, they won't be able to compete on price and will lose market share.
Note that this is just a new syntax for the existing querying capabilities. If you query something that's not in the hash/sort key, you still need to filter on the "client" after the 1mb data set size limit etc.
This tank sounds absolutely terrifying to me.
Very thorough.

> In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

Great advice, but shouldn't it apply to the test traffic as well? Mimicking traffic patterns and making assumptions has a lot of downsides. You'll always be wrong, though the margin of error will vary. Traffic capture and replay is a great way to ensure load test traffic looks like the real thing.
Machine Learning, Deep Fakes and the Threat of an AI Hate-Bot
The complete story of what happened is never misinformation. Greater and more complete sets of facts, un-editorialized, is the basis from which we draw out conclusions.

That you view something through a certain binary lens does not make that the only valid lens through which the scientific community and the public will perceive something. An article that purports to be "just the facts" must report just that, the complete facts and context as best they are known. An article that is correctly represented as an editorialized opinion may do whatever it pleases. The BMJ in this instance is purporting to be the former, while carrying out the latter.

I don't have a problem with the opinion Pfizer should be pursued or have "their bell rung" or whatever. I have a problem with willfully ignoring what the BMJ has done here, which is to use their reputation as a factual medical authority to push spin and then have the audacity to express outrage at being called out for that.
Pig Kidneys Transplanted into Brain-Dead Man as Patients Face Organ Shortages
I think this is bang on the money. Before asking _if_ software engineering is "real engineering" we should ask what we mean by engineering and why the question matters, otherwise it's a fruitless effort of talking past each other.

Hillel seems to want to ask if we're "real engineers" so that we can learn from the other engineering disciplines, especially on taking responsibility, which I think is a good way to frame the question.

Most of these comments seem to instead bicker about semantics, which I feel misses the opportunity to be more focused and constructive.
DynamoDB is not meant for ad-hoc query patterns; as others have said, plan your indexes around your access patterns.

However, so long as you add a global secondary index (GSI) with name, city as the key, you can certainly do such things. But be aware for large-scale solutions:

1. There's a limit of 20 GSIs per table. You can increase with a call to AWS support.

2. GSIs are latently updated; read-after write is not guaranteed, and there is no "consistent read" option on a GSI like there is with tables.

3. WCUs on GSIs should match (or surpass) the WCUs on the original table, else throughput limit exceeded exceptions will occur. So, 3 GSIs on a table means you pay 4x+ in WCU costs.

4. The keys of the GSI should be evenly distributed, just like the PK on a main table. If not, there is additional opportunity for hot partitions on write.

Great move by Plaid.

That mask seems extremely shady since they're advertising it as n95 without niosh approval. I'm not surprised the airline didn't trust it.

In the comparison with other n95 masks they also show a picture of what is clearly a fake n95 mask (a mislabeled kn95 mask) to act like their mask is superior because of its higher surface area when in reality many real n95 masks already have folds for higher surface area at one thirtieth of the price.

There's really no reason to wear that mask when legitimate n95 masks are so widely available.

That said if you just wear your own surgical mask on top from the start you can wear pretty much any mask on an airplane without being hassled.

> they bolt it onto Postgres

I am working with a company that is redesigning an enterprise transactional system, currently backed by an Oracle database with 3000 tables. It’s B2B so loads are predictable and are expected to grow no more than 10% per year.

They want to use DynamoDB as their primary data store, with Postgres for edge cases it seems to me the opposite would be more beneficial.

At what point does DynamoDB become a better choice than Postgres? I know that at certain scales Postgres breaks down, but what are those thresholds?

One of the major issues IMO is the fact that there's very limited time budgeted to history in schools. If you want to learn a broad array of subjects in high school (and you usually need to do that), you won't get that many history lessons, and the world is a big place and history spans a long time. We even had problems covering just European and our national history in the time allocated. It would have been great to be able to learn more but that would have made our high school just a school of history.
You could make it out of tungsten, but it'd be heavy, brittle, and an absolute bastard to machine. It'd probably increase the breakeven cost by an order of magnitude.

Are you sure? My common usecase when debugging something is "Why is this line of code like this, and who might know something about it?". So then I git blame that file and see when exactly that line was modified. If that line is inside some huge blob of changes (from weeks of work) inside one commit, that is less useful to me. Even if the original branch is still floating around somewhere, that would still be an extra hassle.

Common lisp is dynamically typed.

There are type hints that you can give the compiler, but I believe that's only useful for generating faster assembly. Also you can get compile time warnings from macros, but that's much closer in nature to getting a parse error (something pretty much every language does that I'm aware of static or dynamically typed).

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there exists a common lisp typing extension that someone made with macros (after all racket has something like that iirc), however if it exists I didn't use it regardless.
In the UK, super simple wifi only, have Sky Broad Band but have abandoned their router and wifi mesh completely. We have 5 of the BT Whole Home mesh devices, tried to wire the SkyQ tv boxes into them so we could turn off the Sky Wifi and discovered a bug where the Sky Router would basically kick the BT device of the network if wired to a SkyQ box. Ultimately bought a TPLink Router just for broadband and dumps the Sky one, works brilliantly now. So our setup:

TP-Link TD-W9970 Router
5 x BT Whole Home Wifi (one wired to router, two wired to the SkyQ boxes)

Went with BT Whole Home Wifi as it was cheaper than the other mesh networks and had good enough reviews.

We have actually kept the Wifi on the TP-Link router turned on as an additional network (hadn't planed to) as we had connection issues between the BT system and a Natatmo Indoor Camera, it would constantly disconnect/reconnect to the network.
This seems incredibly political. How would you meaningfully define "engineering degree" without first defining what "engineering" is? And how would you define engineering in such a way that it excludes people learning it outside of some preferred institution? Of course you can learn engineering at the job.

Their reasoning is missing the forest for the trees. The point is that most TS features do not map easily to JS, making any interaction with the resulting code a pain. That includes any static analysis of the JS output (not all tools support TS, after all), debugging both with step by step and console logs, and monitoring in prod.

> What is there left to use in the end? Type annotations?

I've always used TS for the types and nothing more, and been happy with it. Seems to me that most of the JS community has come to adopt this approach over time, and I don't see what's bad about it.
