Yet Another Uni-Directional State Flow Architecture in Android

taggit Summary

One of the issue with this implementation is that the entire view is re-rendered whenever any of the attributes in the ViewState changes. We can now only render those attributes that changed their values instead of entire state of the view. We are just skipping the initial state with operator, so we are explicitly providing the initial state to the view. But with current implementation the state is available only within the block of function.

Estimating Customer Lifetime Value via Cohort Retention

taggit Summary

There are two reasons: creating a benchmark for customer acquisition costs (CAC) and comparing customers, e.g. if we’re targeting those who spend more or less than an average customer. The issue with customer lifetime value is the customer lifetime. If we’re talking subscription-based service, an estimate for customer brought-in value is recurring revenue (RR), or the amount a customer pays for a subscription. It is often suggested that we calculate lifetime as an overall metric for the whole customer base, which gives a confusing average: across customers who could have spent years with the business, at least potentially, and those customers who joined last week or yesterday.

Horizontally Scaling the Hive Metastore Database By Migrating From MySQL to TiDB

taggit Summary

At Zhihu, we used MySQL as the Hive Metastore. With data growth in Hive, MySQL stored about 60 GB of data, and the largest table had more than 20 million rows of data. Although the data volume was not excessive for a standalone MySQL database, running queries or writing data in Hive caused frequent operations in Metastore. At Zhihu, we used MySQL as the Hive Metastore.

Central Limit Theorem: An Intuitive Walk-Through

taggit Summary

Now comes the second part, let us try to see if we could estimate the population mean from this sampling distribution, below is a piece of code that generates different sampling distributions by varying total sample size and elements in each samplesWhen we talk about a probability estimate w.r.t to a sample then that sample gets fixed here (including the corresponding sample mean and confidence interval), also population mean eventually is a fixed value, hence there is no point in saying there is a 95% probability of a fixed point (population mean) lying in a fixed interval (CI of sample used), it would either exist there or not, instead the more proper definition of 95% CI isI took 20 random samples with 50 elements in each sample and calculated their sample means and respective two standard deviation intervals (95% CI’s), 18 out of 20 intervals contained these intervals. Instead of giving a point estimate (taking a sample and calculating its mean), it is more plausible to give an interval estimate (this helps us include any error that might occur due to sampling) hence we calculate these confidence intervals along with the sample mean.

A Complete Guide to LocalStorage in JavaScript: Part-2

taggit Summary

In this project, you can add dishes in the menu, you can check in and check out the dishes and whats cool thing about this is that even if you refresh your page, you see that your menu items are still there. Event delegation is a simple technique by which you add a single event handler to a parent element in order to avoid having to add event handlers to multiple child elements. In our project we have to use event delegation because when we add a dish in the Local Tapas menu, we also want to check in and check out the dish, which means we are trying to create an ‘onClick’ event listener on a element which is not even created. This problem will be addressed using the JavaScript Event Delegation.

The Best Cheap Juicer Deals for August 2020 | Digital Trends

taggit Summary

Instead of depending on your local grocer’s stock of boxed up juices, you can extract juices from more varieties of fruits and veggies with your very own juicer. If you’re willing to spend over $1,000 for a juicer and counter space is no issue, a hydraulic press juicer is the slowest of the bunch but delivers the highest yield and quality of juice with little to no oxidation taking place. After considering the type of juicer and your budget, you’ll be able to evaluate your options based on the quality and quantity of juice you’d expect to have from the particular kind of fruit or vegetable you plan on juicing. Mesh filters allow you to drink your juice pulp-free but you’ll undoubtedly have to deal with disposing of it as you clean your juicer.

After months of speculation, Disney has finally pulled the plug on Mulan‘s theatrical release. This isn’t the first Disney film to skip theaters in favor of a streaming release, but it’s certainly the biggest. If Disney can cut out the middle man and charge a high rental price on digital releases, the studio may be able to recoup more of the budget for expensive blockbusters. So far there’s no word on Disney’s next high-profile release, Black Widow, which is still supposedly scheduled for cinematic release on Nov. 6.
