      Memory caches are used to store the result of something that is “heavy” to calculate, takes time, or just needs to be consistent across all the different computers running your server software. In exchange for a little bit of network latency, it makes the total amount of memory available to your application the sum of all the memory available across all your servers.

      Distributed caching:

      • use to store results of heavy calculation
      • improve consistency
      • prevents "cache sampedes"
      • all the major hosting providers tend to support memcached or redis compatible managed caches

      All a load balancer does, is accept HTTP requests for your application (or from it), pick a server that isn’t very busy, and forward the request.

      Load balancers:

      • used when you've a lot of traffic and you're not using PaaS
      • mostly operated by sysops, or are just running copies of NGINX
      • you might see load balancers load balancing a "hot path" in your software onto a dedicated pool of hardware to keep it safe or isolate from failure
      • you might see load balancers used to take care of SSL certificates for you (SSL Termination)

      BFF is an API that serves one, and specifically only one application

      BFF (backend for frontend):

      • translates an internal domain into the terminal language of the app it serves
      • takes care of authentication, rate limiting, and other stuff you don't want to do more than once
      • reduces needless roundtrips to the server
      • translates data to be more suitable for its target app
      • is pretty front-end-dev friendly. Queries and schema strongly resemble JSON & it keeps your stack "JS all the way down" without being beholden to some distant backend team
      webarchitecture GraphQL
    6. pyxelr 28 Apr 2020
      What sets GraphQL apart a little from previous approaches (notably Microsofts’ OData) is the idea that Types and Queries are implemented with Resolver code on the server side, rather than just mapping directly to some SQL storage.

      What makes GraphQL favorable over other implementations.

      In result:

      • GraphQL can be a single API over a bunch of disparate APIs in your domain
      • it solves the "over fetching" problem that's quite common in REST APIs (by allowing the client to specify a subset of data to return)
      • acts as an anti-corruption layer of sorts, preventing unbounded access to underlying storage
      • GraphQL is designed to be the single point of connection that your web or mobile app talks to (it highly optimises performance)

      JSON-RPC is “level 0” of the Richardson Maturity Model – a model that describes the qualities of a REST design.

      JSON-RPC.

      You can build it by:

      • using HTTP VERBs correctly
      • organising your APIs into logical "resources", e.g. ("customer", "product", "catalogue")
      • using correct HTTP response codes for interactions with your API

      there was a push for standardisation of “SOAP” (simple object access protocol) APIs

      Standarisation of SOAP brought a lot of good stuff but people found XML cumbersome to read.

      A lot of things being solved in SOAP had to subsequently be re-solved on top of JSON using emerging open-ish standards like Swagger (now OpenAPI) and JSON:API

      The basics of HTTP are easy to grasp – there’s a mandatory “request line”

      Mandatory HTTP request line:

      • verb (GET, POST, PUT and HEAD most frequently)
      • URL (web address)
      • protocol version (HTTP/1.1)

      Then, there's a bunch of optional request header fields.

      Example HTTP request:

      GET http://www.davidwhitney.co.uk/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.davidwhitney.co.uk
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64…

      webarchitecture REST
    13. pyxelr 28 Apr 2020
      web is an implementation of the design pattern REST – which stands for “Representational State Transfer”. You’ll hear people talk about REST a lot – it was originally defined by Roy Fielding in his PhD dissertation, but more importantly was a description of the way HTTP/1.0 worked at the time

      Origins of the REST design pattern

      Honestly for the most part it’s a matter of taste, and they’re all perfectly appropriate ways to build web applications.

      Which model to choose:

      • Server-rendered MVC - good for low-interactivity websites. Web apps on the other side have their complexity cost
      • SPAs (React, Angular, Vue) offer high fidelity UX. The programming models work well for responsive UX
      • Static sites - great for blogs, marketing microsites, CMS (anything where content is the most important). They scale well, basically cannot crash, and are cheap to run
      webarchitecture
    17. pyxelr 28 Apr 2020
      static site generators became increasingly popular – normally allowing you to use your normal front-end web dev stack, but then generating all the files using a build tool to bundle and distribute to dumb web servers or CDNs

      Examples of static site generators: Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll, Wyam

      webarchitecture
    19. pyxelr 28 Apr 2020
      SPAs are incredibly common, popularised by client-side web frameworks like Angular, React and Vue.js.

      SPAs:

      • popularised by client-side web frameworks like Angular, React and Vue.js
      • real difference between the MVP app is shifting most of its work on the client side
      • there's client side MVC, MVVM (model-view-view-model) and FRP (functional reactive programming)

      Angular - client side MVC framework following its pattern, except it's running inside the users web browser.

      React - implementation of FRP. A little more flexible, but more concerned with state change events in data (often using some event store like Redux)

      webarchitecture Angular React Vue.js Redux

      http://www.mycoolsite.com/Home/Index

      With such a website, MVC model would try to:

      • find a "HomeController" file/module (depending on programming language) inside the controllers directory.
      • "Index" function would probably exist and would return a model (some data) that would be rendered by a view (HTML template from the views folder)

      (All the different frameworks do this slightly differently, but the core idea stays the same – features grouped together by controllers, with functions for returning pages of data and handling input from the web)

      webarchitecture
    21. pyxelr 28 Apr 2020
      when most people say “MVC” they’re really describing “Rails-style” MVC apps where your code is organised into a few different directories

      Different directories of the MVC pattern:

      • /controllers
      • /models
      • /views

    Difference between replication and repeated measurements
    1
    1. pyxelr 27 Apr 2020
      Repeated measures involves measuring the same cases multiple times. So, if you measured the chips, then did something to them, then measured them again, etc it would be repeated measures. Replication involves running the same study on different subjects but identical conditions. So, if you did the study on n chips, then did it again on another n chips that would be replication.

    Things I Wished More Developers Knew About Databases

    1. pyxelr 26 Apr 2020
      I’m sharing a few insights I specifically found useful for developers who are not specialized in this domain.

      Insights on databases from a Google engineer:

      1. You are lucky if 99.999% of the time network is not a problem.
      2. ACID has many meanings.
      3. Each database has different consistency and isolation capabilities.
      4. Optimistic locking is an option when you can’t hold a lock.
      5. There are anomalies other than dirty reads and data loss.
      6. My database and I don’t always agree on ordering.
      7. Application-level sharding can live outside the application.
      8. AUTOINCREMENT’ing can be harmful.
      9. Stale data can be useful and lock-free.
      10. Clock skews happen between any clock sources.
      11. Latency has many meanings.
      12. Evaluate performance requirements per transaction.
      13. Nested transactions can be harmful.
      14. Transactions shouldn’t maintain application state.
      15. Query planners can tell a lot about databases.
      16. Online migrations are complex but possible.
      17. Significant database growth introduces unpredictability.

      At the company I work at, one of our products is an embeddable commenting system. Unlike single-page applications, when we encounter bugs they’re usually on the client’s website. This raised the question, how can we embed a piece of code that will run on all our client’s websites, that will help us debug and improve our overall build experience.

      “Hey, I have a good idea for a game,” I said. “It’s called the function machine game. I will think of a function machine. You tell me things to put into the function machine, and I will tell you what comes out. Then you have to guess what the function machine does.” He immediately liked this game and it has been a huge hit; he wants to play it all the time. We played it while driving to a party yesterday, and we played it this morning while I was in the shower.

      👉 Wiele osób ma cele w stylu “chcę się nauczyć Reacta”. I jest to zbyt słabo sprecyzowany cel.👉 Celem musi być coś w stylu “chcę się nauczyć Reacta, żeby pracować w firmie X i robić projekty dla startupów z Doliny Krzemowej”.👉 Albo “chcę się nauczyć Reacta, żeby pracować w Facebooku z Danem Abramovem nad kolejnymi wersjami Reacta”.👉 Albo “chcę się nauczyć Reacta, żeby prowadzić szkolenia stacjonarne dla backendowców, którzy nie umieją we frontendy”.

      Instead of planning to "learn machine learning" give it a bit more details, e.g.:

    No, really, pi is wrong: The Tau Manifesto

    1. pyxelr 25 Apr 2020
      Tau Day is an annual celebration of the circle constant τ=6.283185…\tau = 6.283185\ldots, which takes place every June 28 (6/28 in the American calendar system).

      Tau (τ) = 2π radians = 360°

      It's simply a more intuitive way of representing a full circular rotation. Possibly Euler could've changed it 100 years ago, but too many textbooks already applied the concept of 2π radians instead

      An emerging way to bypass the need for passwords is to use magic links. A magic link is a temporary URL that expires after use, or after a specific interval of time. Magic links can be sent to your email address, an app, or a security device. Clicking the link authorizes you to sign in.

      Magic Links to replace passwords?

      Hashing passwords won’t save you or your users. Once a database of passwords has been stolen, hackers aim immense distributed computing power at those password databases. They use parallel GPUs or giant botnets with hundreds of thousands of nodes to try hundreds of billions of password combinations per second in hopes of recovering plaintext username/password pairs.

      The solution will be to go for serverless functions. This means that instead of occupying a server completely, it will only use the server capacity when the function needs to run.

      My favourites are Zeit and Netlify. They are quite similar in the features they provide: continuous deployment, around 100GB of bandwidth per month, and a built-in CDN. Another benefit is that they both provide the option of serverless functions, as we will see in the next section. This simplifies the number of services we need to integrate for our entire stack.

      Good website hosting:

    1. pyxelr 17 Apr 2020
      I could probably bootstrap my way up from this with the C compiler to write a terrible editor, then write a terrible TCP client, find my way out to ftp.gnu.org, get wget, and keep going from there. Assume that documentation is plentiful. You want a copy of the Stevens book so you can figure out how to do a DNS query by banging UDP over the network? Done.

      What would the author do in a situation of being alone in a room with:

      HD #1 is blank. HD #2 has a few scraps of a (Linux) OS on it: bootloader, kernel, C library and compiler, that sort of thing. There's a network connection of some sort, and that's about it. There are no editors and nothing more advanced than 'cat' to read files. You don't have jed, joe, emacs, pico, vi, or ed (eat flaming death). Don't even think about X. telnet, nc, ftp, ncftp, lftp, wget, curl, lynx, links? Luxury! Gone. Perl, Python and Ruby? Nope.

    Is Modern Music Boring? - Marginal REVOLUTION
    1
    1. pyxelr 14 Apr 2020
      We find three important trends in the evolution of musical discourse: the restriction of pitch sequences (with metrics showing less variety in pitch progressions), the homogenization of the timbral palette (with frequent timbres becoming more frequent), and growing average loudness levels. The picture at right shows the timbral variety: Smaller values of β indicate less timbral variety: frequent codewords become more frequent, and infrequent ones become even less frequent. This evidences a growing homogenization of the global timbral palette. It also points towards a progressive tendency to follow more fashionable, mainstream sonorities.

      Statistical evidence that modern pop music is boring or at least more homogeneous than in the past.

      Unfortunately no - it cannot be done without Trusted security devices. There are several reasons for this. All of the below is working on the assumption you have no TPM or other trusted security device in place and are working in a "password only" environment.

      Devices without a TPM module will be always asked for a password (e.g. by BitLocker) on every boot

    Dash is React for Python, R, and Julia

    1. pyxelr 13 Apr 2020
      Most people are surprised to learn that of Plotly’s 50 engineers, the vast majority are React developers. This is because Dash is primarily a frontend library — there are far more lines of JavaScript (Typescript) than Python, R, or Julia code. Plotly only has 3 full-time Python developers, 2 full-time R developers, and 0 full-time Julia developers.

      Who works behind Plotly/Dash: 50 engineers:

      • 45 JavaScript (?)
      • 3 Python
      • 2 R
      • 0 Julia
      Dash Plotly
    3. pyxelr 13 Apr 2020
      With Dash, any open-source React UI component can be pulled from npm or GitHub, stirred with water, transmogrified into a Dash component, then imported into your Dash app as a Python, R, or Julia library. C’est magnifique! 👨‍🍳 Dash makes the richness and innovation of the React frontend ecosystem available to Python, R, and Julia engineers for the first time.

Download Visual Studio Code Java Pack Installer Note: The installer is currently only available for Windows. For other OS, please install those components (JDK, VS Code and Java extensions) individually. We're working on the macOS version, please stay tuned. The package can be used as a clean install or an update for an existing development environment to add Java or Visual Studio Code. Once downloaded and opened, it automatically detects if you have the fundamental components in your local development environment, including the JDK, Visual Studio Code, and essential Java extensions.

      Tip: Use Logpoints instead of print statements: Developers often litter source code with print statements to quickly inspect variables without necessarily stepping through each line of code in a debugger. In VS Code, you can instead use Logpoints. A Logpoint is like a breakpoint except that it logs a message to the console and doesn't stop the program. For more information, see Logpoints in the main VS Code debugging article.

      Try to use logpoints instead of print statements.

      When I worked at Target HQ in 2012, employees would arrive to work early - often around 7am - in order to query the database at a time when few others were doing so. They hoped they’d get database results quicker. Yet, they’d still often wait several hours just to get results.

      As the resident Data Scientist, you may become easily inundated with requests from multiple teams at once. Be prepared to ask these teams to qualify and defend their requests, and be prepared to say “no” if their needs fall outside the scope of your actual priority queue.

      Being the only data person be sure to prioritise the requests

      Common questions are: How many users click this button; what % of users that visit a screen click this button; how many users have signed up by region or account type? However, the data needed to answer those questions may not exist! If the data does exists, it’s likely “dirty” - undocumented, tough to find or could be factually inaccurate. It’ll be tough to work with! You could spend hours or days attempting to answer a single question only to discover that you can’t sufficiently answer it for a stakeholder. In machine learning, you may be asked to optimize some process or experience for consumers. However, there’s uncertainty with how much, if at all, the experience can be improved!

      In one experience, a fellow researcher spent over a month researching a particular value among our customers through qualitative and quantitative data. She presented a well-written and evidence-backed report. Yet, a few days later, a key head of product outlined a vision for the team and supported it with a claim that was antithetical to the researcher’s findings! Even if a data science project you advocate for is greenlighted, you may be on your own as the rare knowledgeable person to plan and execute it. It’s unlikely leadership will be hands-on to help you research and plan out the project.

      Data science leadership is sorely lacking

    🌳🚀 CS Visualized: Useful Git Commands - DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻
    13
    1. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      git reflog is a very useful command in order to show a log of all the actions that have been taken! This includes merges, resets, reverts: basically any alteration to your branch.

      Reflog - shows the history of actions in the repo.

      With this information, you can easily undo changes that have been made to a repository with git reset

      git reflog

      reflog animation

      Say that we actually didn't want to merge the origin branch. When we execute the git reflog command, we see that the state of the repo before the merge is at HEAD@{1}. Let's perform a git reset to point HEAD back to where it was on HEAD@{1}!

      reflog + reset animation

      Git
    2. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      it pull is actually two commands in one: a git fetch, and a git merge. When we're pulling changes from the origin, we're first fetching all the data like we did with a git fetch, after which the latest changes are automatically merged into the local branch.

      Pulling - downloads content from a remote branch/repository like git fetch would do, and automatically merges the new changes

      git pull origin master

      pulling animation

      Git
    4. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      When a certain branch contains a commit that introduced changes we need on our active branch, we can cherry-pick that command! By cherry-picking a commit, we create a new commit on our active branch that contains the changes that were introduced by the cherry-picked commit.

      Cherry-picking - creates a new commit with the changes that the cherry-picked commit introduced.

      By default, Git will only apply the changes if the current branch does not have these changes in order to prevent an empty commit

      git cherry-pick 76d12

      cherry-picking animation

      Git
    5. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      Another way of undoing changes is by performing a git revert. By reverting a certain commit, we create a new commit that contains the reverted changes!

      Reverting - reverts the changes that commits introduce. Creates a new commit with the reverted changes

      git revert ec5be

      reverting animation

      Git
    6. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      Sometimes, we don't want to keep the changes that were introduced by certain commits. Unlike a soft reset, we shouldn't need to have access to them any more.

      Hard reset - points HEAD to the specified commit.

      Discards changes that have been made since the new commit that HEAD points to, and deletes changes in working directory

      git reset --hard HEAD~2
git status

      hard reset animation

      Git
    7. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      git rebase copies the commits from the current branch, and puts these copied commits on top of the specified branch.

      Rebasing - copies commits on top of another branch without creating a commit, which keeps a linear history.

      Changes the history as new hashes are created for the copied commits.

      git rebase master

      A big difference compared to merging, is that Git won't try to find out which files to keep and not keep. The branch that we're rebasing always has the latest changes that we want to keep! You won't run into any merging conflicts this way, and keep a nice linear Git history.

      Rebasing is great whenever you're working on a feature branch, and the master branch has been updated.

      rebasing animation

      Git
    8. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      This can happen when the two branches we're trying to merge have changes on the same line in the same file, or if one branch deleted a file that another branch modified, and so on.

      Merge conflict - you have to decide from which branch to keep the change.

      After:

      git merge dev

      Git will notify you about the merge conflict so you can manually remove the changes you don't want to keep, save them, and then:

      git add updated_file.md
git commit -m "Merge..."

      merge conflict animation

      Git
    9. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      If we committed changes on the current branch that the branch we want to merge doesn't have, git will perform a no-fast-forward merge.

      No-fast-forward merge - default behavior when current branch contains commits that the merging branch doesn't have.

      Create a new commit which merges two branches together without modifying existing branches.

      git merge dev

      no-fast-forward merge animation

      Git
    10. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      fast-forward merge can happen when the current branch has no extra commits compared to the branch we’re merging.

      Fast-forward merge - default behavior when the branch has all of the current branch's commits.

      Doesn't create a new commit, thus doesn't modify existing branches.

      git merge dev

      fast-forward merge animation

      Git
    11. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      soft reset moves HEAD to the specified commit (or the index of the commit compared to HEAD), without getting rid of the changes that were introduced on the commits afterward!

      Soft reset - points HEAD to the specified commit.

      Keeps changes that have been made since the new commit the HEAD points to, and keeps the modifications in the working directory

      git reset --soft HEAD~2
git status

      soft reset animation

      Git
    12. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      git reset gets rid of all the current staged files and gives us control over where HEAD should point to.

      Reset - way to get rid of unwanted commits. We have soft and hard reset

      Git
    13. pyxelr 07 Apr 2020
      There are 6 actions we can perform on the commits we're rebasing

      Interactive rebase - makes it possible to edit commits before rebasing.

      Creates new commits for the edited commits which history has been changed.

      6 actions (options) of interactive rebase:

      CR is one of the most controlled industries in this world. It's insanely conservative in both used statistical methods and programming. Once a program is written and validated, it may be used for decades. There are SAS macros written in 1980 working still by today without any change. That's because of brilliant backward compatibility of the SAS macro-language. New features DO NOT cause the old mechanisms to be REMOVED. It's here FOREVER+1 day.

      Clinical Research is highly conservative, making SAS macros applicable for decades. Unfortunately, that's not the same case with R

    COVID-19: WHY WE SHOULD ALL WEAR MASKS  — THERE IS NEW SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE

      Surprisingly, ACE2 expression in the lung is very low: it is limited to a few molecules per cell in the alveolar cells (AT2 cells) deep in the lung. But a just published paper by the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium reports that ACE2 is highly expressed in some type of (secretory) cells of the inner nose!

      Major route of viral entry is likely via large droplets that land in the nose — where expression of the viral entry receptor, ACE2 is highest. This is the transmission route that could be effectively blocked already by simple masks that provide a physical barrier.

      SARS-Cov-2 virus, like any virus, must dock onto human cells using a key-lock principle, in which the virus presents the key and the cell the lock that is complementary to the key to enter the cell and replicate. For the SARS-Cov-2 virus, the viral surface protein “Spike protein S” is the “key” and it must fit snugly into the “lock” protein that is expressed (=molecularly presented) on the surface of the host cells. The cellular lock protein that the SARS-Cov-2 virus uses is the ACE2 protein

      SARS-Cov-2 enters the host cell by docking with its Spike protein to the ACE2 (blue) protein in cell surfaces:

      The tacit notion at the CDC that the alveolae are the destination site for droplets to deliver the virus load (the alveolae are after all the anatomical site of life-threatening pneumonia), has elevated the apparent importance of N95 masks and led to the dismissal of surgical masks.

      For airborne particles to be inspired and reach deep into the lung, through all the air ducts down to the alveolar cells where gas-exchange takes place, it has to be small

      Only droplets < 10 um can reach to alveolae (deep into lung). Larger droplets stuck in the nose, throat, upper air ducts of the lung, trachea and large bronchia.

      Droplets can (for this discussion) be crudely divided in two large categories based on size

      2 categories of droplets:

      a) Droplets < 10 um: upper size limit of aerosol. Can float in the air/rooms by ventilation or winds and can be filtered (to 95%) by N95 favial masks (droplets < than 0.3 um). Here the surgical masks cannot help.

      b) Droplets > 10 um (reaching 100+ um): called as spray droplets. Can be even visible by human from coughing/sneezing (0.1+ um).

      Ancestor of all animals identified in Australian fossils

      Summary:

      • First ancestor of most animals, including humans, has been discovered—Ikaria wariootia had a mouth, anus, gut, and a bilaterian body plan.
      • Bilateral symmetry was a critical step in evolution, enabling organisms to move purposefully, but so far the first organism to develop it wasn’t known.
      • Ikaria wariootia was discovered through careful analysis of 555 million-year-old samples.
      • It was a wormlike creature, up to 7mm (0.27in) long, with a distinct head and tail, as well as faintly grooved musculature.
      • This discovery confirms what evolutionary biologists previously predicted.

    Math Symbols Explained with Python
    13
    1. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      This denotes the factorial of a number. It is the product of numbers starting from 1 to that number.

      Exclamation in Python: $$x!$$ is written as:

      x = 5
fact = 1
for i in range(x, 0, -1):
    fact = fact * i
print(fact)

      it can be shortened as:

      import math
math.factorial(x)

      and the output is:

      # 5*4*3*2*1
120
      math Python
    2. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      The hat gives the unit vector. This means dividing each component in a vector by it’s length(norm).

      Hat in Python: $$\hat{x}$$ is written as:

      x = [1, 2, 3]
length = math.sqrt(sum([e**2 for e in x]))
x_hat = [e/length for e in x]

      This makes the magnitude of the vector 1 and only keeps the direction:

      math.sqrt(sum([e**2 for e in x_hat]))
# 1.0
      math Python
    3. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      It gives the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of the two sequences of numbers.

      Dot Product in Python: $$X.Y$$ is written as:

      X = [1, 2, 3]
Y = [4, 5, 6]
dot = sum([i*j for i, j in zip(X, Y)])
# 1*4 + 2*5 + 3*6
# 32
      math Python
    4. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      It means multiplying the corresponding elements in two tensors. In Python, this would be equivalent to multiplying the corresponding elements in two lists.

      Element wise multiplication in Python: $$z=x\odot y$$ is written as:

      x = [[1, 2], 
    [3, 4]]
y = [[2, 2], 
    [2, 2]]
z = np.multiply(x, y)

      and results in:

      [[2, 4]],
[[6, 8]]
      math Python
    6. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      This denotes a function which takes a domain X and maps it to range Y. In Python, it’s equivalent to taking a pool of values X, doing some operation on it to calculate pool of values Y.

      Function in Python: $$f:X \rightarrow Y$$ is written as:

      def f(X):
    Y = ...
    return Y

      Using R instead of X or Y means we're dealing with real numbers: $$f:R \rightarrow R$$ then, R^2 means we're dealing with d-dimensional vector of real numbers (in this case, example of d=2 is X = [1,2]

      math Python
    8. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      The norm is used to calculate the magnitude of a vector. In Python, this means squaring each element of an array, summing them and then taking the square root.

      Norm of vector in Python (it's like Pythagorean theorem): $$| x|$$ is written as:

      x = [1, 2, 3]
math.sqrt(x[0]**2 + x[1]**2 + x[2]**2)
      math Python
    10. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      In Python, it is equivalent to looping over a vector from index 0 to index N-1 and multiplying them.

      PI in Python is the same as sigma, but you multiply (*) the numbers inside the for loop. $$\prod_{i=1}^Nx^i$$

      math Python
    11. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      we reuse the sigma notation and divide by the number of elements to get an average.

      Average in Python: $$\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^Nx_i$$ is written as:

      x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
result = 0
N = len(x)
for i in range(n):
 result = result + x[i]
average = result / N
print(average)

      or it can be shortened:

      x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
result = sum(x) / len(x)
      math Python
    12. pyxelr 23 Mar 2020
      In Python, it is equivalent to looping over a vector from index 0 to index N-1

      Sigma in Python: $$\sum_{i=1}^Nx_i$$ is written as:

      x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
result = 0
N = len(x)
for i in range(N):
 result = result + x[i]
print(result)

      or it can be shortened:

      x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
result = sum(x)

      Another nice SQL script paired with CRON jobs was the one that reminded people of carts that was left for more than 48 hours. Select from cart where state is not empty and last date is more than or equal to 48hrs.... Set this as a CRON that fires at 2AM everyday, period with less activity and traffic. People wake up to emails reminding them about their abandoned carts. Then sit watch magic happens. No AI/ML needed here. Just good 'ol SQL + Bash.

    Toilet Paper: How long does it last?

    1. pyxelr 18 Mar 2020
      This volume of paper should be the same as the coaxial plug of paper on the roll.

      Calculating volume of the paper roll: $$\mathbf{Lwt = \pi w(R^2 - r^2)} \~\ L = \text{length of the paper} \ w = \text{width of the paper} \ t = \text{thickness} \ R = \text{outer radius} \ r = \text{inner radius}$$ And that simplifies into a formula for R: $$\color{red} {\bf R = \sqrt{\frac{Lt}{\pi}+r^2}}$$

      statistics math
    2. pyxelr 18 Mar 2020
      This shows the nonlinear relationship and how the consumption accelerates. The first 10% used makes just a 5% change in the diameter of the roll. The last 10% makes an 18.5% change.

      Consumption of a toilet paper roll has a nonlinear relationship between the:

      • y-axis (outer Radius of the roll (measured as a percentage of a full roll))
      • x-axis (% of the roll consumed)
      statistics
    3. pyxelr 18 Mar 2020
      Toilet paper is typically supplied in rolls of perforated material wrapped around a central cardboard tube. There’s a little variance between manufacturers, but a typical roll is approximately 4.5” wide with an 5.25” external diameter, and a central tube of diameter 1.6” Toilet paper is big business (see what I did there?) Worldwide, approximately 83 million rolls are produced per day; that’s a staggering 30 billion rolls per year. In the USA, about 7 billion rolls a year are sold, so the average American citizen consumes two dozen rolls a year (two per month). Americans use 24 rolls per capita a year of toilet paper Again, it depends on the thickness and luxuriousness of the product, but the perforations typically divide the roll into approximately 1,000 sheets (for single-ply), or around 500 sheets (for double-ply). Each sheet is typically 4” long so the length of a (double-ply) toilet roll is approximately 2,000” or 167 feet (or less, if your cat gets to it).

    10 Interval Data Examples: Interval Scale Definition & Meaning
    2
    1. pyxelr 15 Mar 2020
      In the interval scale, there is no true zero point or fixed beginning. They do not have a true zero even if one of the values carry the name “zero.” For example, in the temperature, there is no point where the temperature can be zero. Zero degrees F does not mean the complete absence of temperature. Since the interval scale has no true zero point, you cannot calculate Ratios. For example, there is no any sense the ratio of 90 to 30 degrees F to be the same as the ratio of 60 to 20 degrees. A temperature of 20 degrees is not twice as warm as one of 10 degrees.

      Interval data:

      • show not only order and direction, but also the exact differences between the values
      • the distances between each value on the interval scale are meaningful and equal
      • no true zero point
      • no fixed beginning
      • no possibility to calculate ratios (only add and substract)
      • e.g.: temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius (but not Kelvin) or IQ test
      DataScience statistics
    2. pyxelr 15 Mar 2020
      As the interval scales, Ratio scales show us the order and the exact value between the units. However, in contrast with interval scales, Ratio ones have an absolute zero that allows us to perform a huge range of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The ratio scales possess a clear definition of zero. Any types of values that can be measured from absolute zero can be measured with a ratio scale. The most popular examples of ratio variables are height and weight. In addition, one individual can be twice as tall as another individual.

      Ratio data is like interval data, but with:

      • absolute zero
      • possibility to calculate ratio (e.g. someone can be twice as tall)
      • possibility to not only add and subtract, but multiply and divide values
      • e.g.: weight, height, Kelvin scale (50K is 2x hot as 25K)

      Javascript, APIs and Markup — this stack is all about finding middleground from the chaos of SSR+SPA. It is about stepping back and asking yourself, what parts of my page change and what parts don’t change?

      JavaScript, APIs and Markup (JAM Stack) - middleground between SSR + SPA.

      Advantages:

      • The parts that don’t change often are pre-rendered on the server and saved to static HTML files. Anything else is implemented in JS and run on the client using API calls.
      • Avoids too much data transfer (like the hydration data for SSR), therefore finds a good tradeoff to ship web content
      • Allows to leverage the power and cost of Content delivery networks (CDNs) to effectively serve your content
      • With serverless apps your APIs will never need a server to SSH into and manage

      We were not satisfied with the basic capabilities like bold and italics so we built CSS. Now, we wanted to modify some parts of the HTML/CSS in response to things like clicking things, so we implemented a scripting language to quickly specify such relations and have then run within the browser itself instead of a round trip to the server.

      And so was born PHP, it feels like a natural extension to HTML itself. You write your code between your HTML file itself and then be able to run those parts on the server, which further generate HTML and the final HTML gets send to the browser.This was extremely powerful. We could serve completely different pages to different users even though all of them access the same URL like Facebook. We could use a database on a server and store some data there, then based on some conditions use this data to modify the generated HTML and technically have an infinite number of pages available to serve (e-commerce).

      TL;DR;

      Don't use:

      • No global vars.
      • Declare variables using "var".
      • Declare functions using "function" keyword.
      • Avoid use "for" in loops.
      • Array push, inmutability.
      • Class.
      • Use delete to remove a object atribute.
      • Avoid nested if.
      • else if.
      • Heavy nesting.
      • Avoid to add prototype to functions that could be used in a module.

      Use:

      • Common code in functions, follow D.R.Y principle.
      • Shorcut notation.
      • Spread operator over Object.assign (airbnb 3.8).
      • Pascal case naming.
      • Modularize your code in modules.
      • const and let!.
      • Literal syntax for object creation (airbnb 3.1).
      • Computed property names when creating objects (airbnb 3.2).
      • Property value shorthand (airbnb 3.4).
      • Group your shorthand properties at the beginning of your objec (airbnb 3.5).
      • use the literal syntax for array creation (airnbnb 4.1).
      • Use array spreads ... to copy arrays. (airbnb 4.3).
      • use spreads ... instead of, Array.from. (airbnb 4.4).
      • Use return statements in array method callbacks (airbnb 4.7).

      e.g.

      const foo = maybe1 > maybe2 ? 'bar' : maybeNull;

      Also:

      // bad
const foo = a ? a : b;
const bar = c ? true : false;
const baz = c ? false : true;

// good
const foo = a || b;
const bar = !!c;
const baz = !c;

      Use JSDOC https://jsdoc.app/about-getting-started.html format.

      Standardise your JavaScript comments:

      1. Use block comment
        /** This is a description of the foo function. */
function foo() {
}
      2. Use JSDOC tag to describe a function: ```javascript /**
      • Represents a book.
      • @constructor
      • @param {string} title - The title of the book.
      • @param {string} author - The author of the book. */ function Book(title, author) { } ```

      When JavaScript encounters a line break without a semicolon, it uses a set of rules called Automatic Semicolon Insertion to determine whether or not it should regard that line break as the end of a statement, and (as the name implies) place a semicolon into your code before the line break if it thinks so. ASI contains a few eccentric behaviors, though, and your code will break if JavaScript misinterprets your line break.

      Better place a semicolon (;) in the right place and do not rely on the Automatic Semicolon Insertion

      e.g.

      const luke = {};
const leia = {};
[luke, leia].forEach((jedi) => {
  jedi.father = 'vader';
});

      ```

      if what you care about is downtime, your first thought shouldn’t be “how do I reduce deployment downtime from 1 second to 1ms”, it should be “how can I ensure database schema changes don’t prevent rollback if I screw something up.”

      The features Kubernetes provides for reliability (health checks, rolling deploys), can be implemented much more simply, or already built-in in many cases. For example, nginx can do health checks on worker processes, and you can use docker-autoheal or something similar to automatically restart those processes.

      Kubernetes' health checks can be replaced with nginx on worker processes + docker-autoheal to automatically restart those processes

      Distributed applications are really hard to write correctly. Really. The more moving parts, the more these problems come in to play. Distributed applications are hard to debug. You need whole new categories of instrumentation and logging to getting understanding that isn’t quite as good as what you’d get from the logs of a monolithic application.

      Microservices stay as a hard nut to crack.

      They are fine for an organisational scaling technique: when you have 500 developers working on one live website (so they can work independently). For example, each team of 5 developers can be given one microservice

      As of March 2020, the Kubernetes code base has more than 580 000 lines of Go code

    How containers work: overlayfs - Julia Evans

    1. pyxelr 07 Mar 2020
      That makes sense, the new file gets created in the upper directory.

      If you add a new file, such as with:

      $ echonew file> merged/new_file

      It will be created in the upper directory

      Docker
    2. pyxelr 07 Mar 2020
      Combining the upper and lower directories is pretty easy: we can just do it with mount!

      Combining lower and upper directories using mount:

      $ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=/home/bork/test/lower,upperdir=/home/bork/test/upper,workdir=/home/bork/test/work /home/bork/test/merged

      Docker
    3. pyxelr 07 Mar 2020
      Overlay filesystems, also known as “union filesystems” or “union mounts” let you mount a filesystem using 2 directories: a “lower” directory, and an “upper” directory.

      Docker doesn't make copies of images, but instead uses an overlay.

      Overlay filesystems, let you mount a system using 2 directories:

      • the lower directory (read-only)
      • the upper directory (read and write).

      When a process:

      • reads a file, the overlayfs filesystem driver looks into the upper directory and if it's not present, it looks into the lower one
      • writes a file, overlayfs will just use the upper directory

    Top Economists Study What Happens When You Stop Using Facebook - Study Hacks - Cal Newport

    1. pyxelr 06 Mar 2020
      Using Facebook ads, the researchers recruited 2,743 users who were willing to leave Facebook for one month in exchange for a cash reward. They then randomly divided these users into a Treatment group, that followed through with the deactivation, and a Control group, that was asked to keep using the platform. 

      The effects of not using Facebook for a month:

      • on average another 60 free mins per day
      • small but significant improvement in well-being, and in particular in self-reported happiness, life satisfaction, depression and anxiety
      • participants were less willing to use Facebook from now
      • the group was less likely to follow politics
      • deactivation significantly reduced polarization of views on policy issues and a measure of exposure to polarizing news
      • 80% agreed that the deactivation was good for them

      The new virus is genetically 96% identical to a known coronavirus in bats and 86-92% identical to a coronavirus in pangolin. Therefore, the transmission of a mutated virus from animals to humans is the most likely cause of the appearance of the new virus.

      When asked why Wuhan was so much higher than the national level, the Chinese official replied that it was for lack of resources, citing as an example that there were only 110 critical care beds in the three designated hospitals where most of the cases were sent.

      Wuhan's rate then = 4.9%
