Bootstrap 5 barely on beta though... Did you guy early adopted?

Also Bootstrap 3 to 4 have had patterns of dropping support of IE versions.

I'm still using Bootstrap and Jquery for my side projects.

It helps lower the amount of technology I use in my stack.

From my experience maintaining frontend technology is not as simple as backend.

I've come to the conclusion that data is the most important thing, so my concentration is mostly on getting the database right then build out with a backend rendering framework. So the presentation is not as important in the initial phases and bootstrap is good enough.

Yeah a bit too much hype around ML.

I was in my org conference and the guy that head AI team was stating how Deep Learning going to change the world. That it'll write software in a few years (he's from the applied math field). He also glossed over many on going problems with Deep Learning.

We're in healthcare industry and this guy is pushing Theranos like level of snake oil.

The people that don't know a lick about ML or Statistic or both rely on these people. The doctors are relying on that dude and I for these inputs. And the dude is selling theranos like stuff. I think the problem is the medical field, cs, and stat are all high level field, requiring years of training to acquire mastery and knowledge. So it's rare that someone would have all three to be able to have a impartial view or a good overview of pros and cons.

Yeah it because the Erlang VM have a preemptive scheduler and each process have a mailbox which gets a designated amount of time to access cpu.

You can do a for(1) for loop and it won't hog the cpu because it get premptive. The problem is when you have large amount of problematic mails in the mailbox....

It's not the language but more about how the data is store (data structures/indexes) and what you're going to do with the data.

At least during my time as a developer, I've come across many people that didn't understand this. When asked why they want to use elasticsearch over RMDB is it because they wanted Trie over B+tree? They didn't understand. Also the use cases almost always relational. Postgres have good enough FTS actually if anything elasticsearch is almost always a complement database not a replacement to RMDB.

Unless I missed it, there hasn't been any data released. I'm only seeing PR accouncements.

Because there is no long term data on covid19 mutation speed.

You need a cohort to take the vaccine and then some time before doing a retroactive study.

Yeah... that's why I wait a few months to download any new update from Apple.

With the reports/articles about Big Sur and how it send data back to Apple, I am moving to PC.

I am not moving to PC thinking that Window doesn't do the same. It's just the line between Apple and Microsoft is slowly blurring.

The issue with Apple quality and dev friendly can be mitigated by good enough pc quality and linux vm. Apple is more and more tailor toward general consumers which led to more wall garden and questionable practices.

Wait... it's only in phase 1?

Pfizer is in phase 3 and that's where they test tons of people.

Pfizer is more certain in efficacy.

(this might be a cold storage faultily and manufacturing elsewhere - I'm not sure)

COLD is the stock symbol and company that own temperature control storage facilities. They're international too and a REIT.

Do note I own this stock.

Yeah this probably it since UCSF is the UC for only grad, no undergrad, and for medical. Those data could be HIPAA related.

Compared with, say, data.table in R, or pandas in python, one of the things I enjoy most about Julia packages is that they're almost exclusively written in pure Julia.

R is going to eventually use Julia in their package. It's one of the gluest language I've ever learned so far.

It's actually R's strength. It doesn't have to compete when it can assimilate stuff in the backend while leveraging their existing user. Just look at STAN.

Do you guys think there is in theory, the best programming language, or will this always be subjective

I think there is only best for what it was design for. We should compare the language goals with other language with similar goals.

Elixir/Erlang's goal makes it quite possibly one of the best language for concurrency.

R is the best language, so far, for statistic and researcher implementing their latest paper in. It also have FFI for C++/C so if things are too slow.

Once you start to compare a general programming language such as Python it gets a bit harder to say "best" because it seems to want to do everything. It's much easier to do a few things correct/good than it is to do a lot of things good/correct.

With this mind set, we can just be more objective and choose right language for the right task, instead of picking the one language to rule them all.

edit/update: This is before we even account for the ecosystem and software around the language.

Salary aren't dichotomous to high and low.

Well... I’m glad I bail out of the energy sector stocks. Barrels are too low for shale and fracking.

Texas is going to be hard hit this recession.

statistical software never does this.

Almost all statistical models give you probabilities and it is up to the domain to determine the cutoff. You can clearly see this in logistic regression it's giving you a probability not a 1 or 0.

When a clinician gives me a dataset I build the model and leave it to them to do the cut off. It is not my domain or expertise to tell them where the cut off is. Plus it gives away the responsibility. I'm not responsible for it unless they don't know and are asking me for a reasonable cut off.

An example is people opting for artificial in semenation because of problem. I believe the cut off is above 60% because of the trade off.

You can read more about it in Regression Modeling Strategies by Dr. Frank Harrell.

utilities

It's natural monopoly and highly regulated.

online hosting

There was several hoster that ban pornography and white supremacist hosting content.

financial providers

Templeton fired the lady that was choking her dog while calling the police because an African American man was bird watching. He also asked her to leash her dog.

It's a private company. I don't believe Trump is under a protected class to get special perks.

* to try and salvage their reputation

Really? They just recently ban Australia trades because Australia inquire about Covid19 origins.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/13/australia-chin...

- This isn't as bad as the Spanish Flu

That's an arbitrary high bar to set and compare. We don't have hindsight nor the test compacity to compare it to historic pandemics. People are going to write thesis about covid19 for decades to come.

They want to build out the future digital city, so their citizen can live and interact in it.

When they started Golden Shield Project they built it for monitor and surveillance iirc.

Forgive me if I'm skeptical of your view.

I do welcome more competitions between companies/countries which will hopefully lead to consumers enjoying the benefits.

I think China's government should do something about all those viruses originating from their country.

I understand if it's an accident like MERS from middle east or ebola from Africa. But the frequency of China is a lot, they're up to 3 deadly viruses now: SARS, Covid19, and Avian Flu.

China should at least share their health data on pandemic of these viruses. So other countries can decide a plan of actions. I'm sure they can do it in a way to anonymize these records.

HFT isn't essential services.

but banks do provide essential services for a fee.

They charge you for not having enough money in your checking account, while using your money to give out loans and make money off of that. Basically charging you for being poor while making money off of your by fee and loaning your money to other people.

I'm old enough to remember they never charge a fee for not having enough money in the bank account. I left my bank for a credit union.

Also Well Fargo was caught recently in a dubious sketchy scheme.

There was Erlang on Xen using LingVM awhile back.

I think the second dip is coming (the first being in March). With the flu season and covid19 resurgence and the market is going to realize those unemployment rate means a lot of people aren't going to buy stuff.

Pension are 403b which is 401k equivalent just fyi. I'm on it current shift toward tbill/bonds.

Would you recommend it as an introduction to topic?

No. I would not recommend it unless you have a strong foundation in statistic.

If you want an introduction, I like "Doing Bayesian Data Analysis: A Tutorial with R and BUGS" by John K. Kruschke. It's basically the Bayesian intro statistic version of Wackerly's statistic book (frequentist).

there's actually not that much heavy maths.

Uh... sure if you know measure theory.

The later chapter especially in Dirichlet chapters assume you know measure theory.

This is the bible for Bayesian statistic. It's phd imo or a senior level grad student.

I was hoping he updated the other book for Hierarchical modeling with rStan.

If they follow Ubuntu, I'd wish they name it Cinco De Mayo for this version.

- Sending tabs between devices does not work. It sometimes arrives 12 hours!!! later

It doesn't work on my window 10 instantly but it works for osx and ios.

The work around for my window10 machine, for me at least, is to click the hamburger and click on my account name, then click sync now.
