Survival analysis is often also called time-to-event analysis or failure analysis in engineering. In a general sense, it's used to model time until a "death" event, whether that could be divorce, machine part failure, or actu

Thanks, explains a lot. Wish the article did a better job explaining that instead of framing it as a version upgrade to V2.

I see, I didn't know that. Why would one sell permanent ownership of a networked product? I've been seeing the rise of "lifetime" subscription levels (pay once) for SaaS products, but I'm curious as to what the actu

Remember: it's local-first, not offline. When users subscribe they should be purchasing a license that renews periodically. Local-first apps should validate the license (based on its expiry) by connecting to the internet to ensure user

A bit of an aside, but CRDTs are not always the best approach to solving the local-first distributed consistency problem. For the specific given example of syncing files it might make sense, but I'm starting to see CRDTs used in places

This looks super promising... I very much relate to the dropdown example, and I've found that complicated UX patterns can be extremely awkward to implement and maintain in LV. One example from my experience that was prickly to implemen

While still a marvel in its own right, I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed when I visited. After witnessing the architecture of both ancient and (relatively) modern Eastern/Southeastern structures, I found the Sagrada Familia la

I often synthesize this as: to write, is to think. It derives from David McCullough's quote, "Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That's why it's so hard." In order to arrange the right words in

If you do find the time, I'm sure that writeup would be very valuable!

As I know nothing about TableGen, can someone explain when you would reach for this tool? Perhaps even links to simple examples?

It may seem trivial, but I assure you it's valid criticism. FWIW, I've stopped using the Books app on my Ipad in favor of emailing my ebooks to my Kindle account and reading it through the Kindle app. Why couldn't they have a

Regarding #1, I've found that Phoenix + LiveView has been helpful for these cases. They have great form validation tools using Changesets and the `phx-change` attribute [1]. You can redact certain fields [2], and even treat certain fie

I think it's a not-so-rude awakening to follow individuals rather than organizations. For example, Matt Levine could be the one you trust for finance, or Jason Schreier for news on video games. It's potentially easier to understan

There's a working theory that you could do this with anything. A cool story to read is the Polgar family. His daughters became some of the best chess players of their time. >Polgár and his wife considered various possible subjects i

I didn't really realize what the quote was talking about until you mentioned mario party. That brought back memories. Looking at the sibling comments, it's kind of cool how a lot of people arrived at the same pattern intuitively.

I don't think there's any official benchmarks, but I did find that someone benchmarked it 5 years ago [1]. Aeron also provides a benchmarking tool [2]. [1] https://github.com/benalexau/rpc-bench/tree&#x2F

One of the biggest issues I encounter with concurrency is whether the code I've written could be optimized to reduce cache misses. I feel like a lot of resources including this wonderful book gloss over reducing cache misses. Is it rea
