Graphviz is powerful! It can visualize dependency with input from code, that means we can programmatically generate visual output. [code] digraph MyGraph { a -> b b -> c a -> d a -> c } [/code] Ref: https://ncona.com/2020/06/create-diagrams-with-code-using-graphviz/ http://www.webgraphviz.com/ http://magjac.com/graphviz-visual-editor/ https://forum.graphviz.org/

Interesting brain teaser. Suppose you’re on a game show, and you’re given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, “Do you want to pick door No. 2?” Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? ...

They are very similar, but if you are upgrading from docker compose to docker stack, you may need to modify your existing docker compose yaml file. From what I noticed, here are the obvious pain points No build. If you have build and args, you will need to do that outside of the yaml file. Docker stack expects to see image. No container_name. If you have other services (e.g. nginx) that depend on container_name, you will need to use some workarounds. ...

This is interesting. Say, if I have $100, and the saving account rate is 2%. Assuming compound interest, how long does it take to double the money? An easy way to estimate that is to simply calculate: 72 / 2, which is 36. So it will take 36 years to double my money. Really? Let’s see… 100 * (1+0.02)^(36) = 100 * 2.0398… = 203.98 !!! WTF !!! How about SPY? Based on trailing 10-year data, the fund generated average annual returns of 11.04%. So how long does SPY take to double my money? 72 / 11 = 6.54. ...

Apparently there are 3 types of Covid 19 tests. 1. Nucleic acid amplification tests ( molecular tests) - also known as genetic, RNA or PCR tests. 2. Antibody tests - also known as serology tests. 3. Antigen test Diagnostic or PCR test. This is the one with the long stick getting mucus from your nose. Even though it takes a few days for the virus to replicate in the nose, this method is so far the most reliable one. ...

I am glad my blog is on wordpress.com. Seems like there are better ways now (not necessarily easy): https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/launch-a-wordpress-website/ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/php-hawordpress-tutorial.html

The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits last week rocketed to a record 3.28 million Why is the market still going up? Don’t fool me. People don’t have jobs, government is printing money, where are we going? This is probably just the first wave of unemployment numbers, wait until the next wave.

Would social distancing work? The available hospital beds line is way down there. I kinda understand now why China built new hospitals in 7 days and locked down cities. It was really to minimize casualties. Social distancing could only delay the spike. I wonder if we spent the trillion dollars to pay everyone to stay home instead, would that be a better alternative. ...
