This looks like a great resource. One thing I'm struggling with is the ability to sort and filter and was wondering if the book goes into detail about this topic.
If I have a person entity and its attributes listed out in a table. How would you go about sorting by first name, last name, created at, etc... I was thinking of streaming everything over to elastic search, but that would add extra complexity to maintain.
Awesome! Glad to hear that there's a section on that. Quick question. I'm thinking of leveraging elasticsearch for the fulltext search capabilities. Is the work to get sorting on various different attributes heavy from a dev perspective and is there any advantages of doing it through dynamo rather than querying with elasticsearch?
InboxSDK is a great set of tools for people looking to build on top of gmail. Does anyone know if there anything like Inbox SDK that support outlook/office365?
is the modern typescript/web API. It's not totally feature-complete (yet), so you may need to develop a VSTO add-in in C# or VB, which will unfortunately not work with the web client. Docs for that:
The thing is, with these models. Everyone will eventually catch the virus and either dies off or recovers. If this happens in real life, the consequences are dire and catastrophic.
Social distancing and avoiding large groups will obviously save lives and we flatten the curve to allow for treatment of individuals that will require hospitalization. But once the novelty of social distancing wears off. Will the number of cases where people get affected explode once again?
The question is when will this virus go away? (if ever). Will everybody catch it eventually? Will the panic fade and Corona be just another (and much deadlier) strain of the flu?
That’s actually not correct, and the point of the simulations is to show that. By social distancing, you reduce the likelihood of everyone getting the disease. The use of social distancing brings the probability that everyone gets infected at some point closer to 0.0 but doesn’t make it 0.0. It’s possible to have a result where you either have people who were never infected, or ones who are fully recovered.
A key notion is that the maximum capacity of the health care system is limited. Yes everyone will get sick, but we want to keep the total sick at any one time within healthcare limits.
What if it gives the survivors the strength to resist or fight back something else? If we think about it, human (and not human) very ancient history must be full of these interactions, and our evolution is a consequence also of this kind of thing. Only recently we know how to "protect" ourselves. But if we are in the what-if domain... what if letting it go make us a biologically better being? What if it by chance will give us the protection against some kind of tumor? What if its overall effect, not counting the deaths, is positive and not negative like making us infertile?
What if....
We can't know. But we'll see one side of the coin when we'll have defeated this threat. (Which is not an existential threat, anyway, i.e. it won't make us go extinct)
Influenza A started as the Spanish Flu. It likely won't go away - instead either vaccination will control it to much smaller levels, but more likely a less virulent form will evolve and join the other 4 common coronaviruses as another endemic virus.
Not sure what this article was trying to get at. If a SAAS service could be replaced by a single line of code, then you did not need to use it in the first place.
