⏰ What time is it? Time for a #Mythbusters thread -- #Serverless edition!

Agreed, the term is sub-par. But hear me out, the architecture is not. Let's talk about a few common misconceptions about Serverless!
1⃣ "Serverless means no servers"

There *are* servers involved, but it's not on you to run and operate them. Instead, the serverless provider is managing the platform, scaling things up (and down) as needed. Less things to take care of, billed per-use.

Myth: BUSTED!
2⃣ "Serverless is cheaper"

Pay-per-use makes low/medium-volume workloads really cheap. But pricing is complex: no. of requests, assigned RAM/CPU, API gateways, traffic etc. Depending on your workload (e.g. high, sustained), other options like VMs are better.

Myth: Kinda BUSTED!

1/7 #ManuscriptMonday! 📄 Let’s talk about chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, which were recently FDA-approved for treatment of COVID-19. There has been a lot of hype and misinformation surrounding the drugs. One particular study by Gautret et al. ⬇️ was published...

Aangezien ik regelmatig van vrienden/bekenden vragen krijg als: “Ben jij nou bang voor het coronavirus?”, “Wat denk jij ervan?”, of “moet ik mij nou zorgen maken”. En ondanks dat ik geen geneeskunde maar biologie heb gestudeerd geef ik ze altijd het volgende antwoord:

Een draad:
Nee, ik ben niet bang voor het #sars_cov_2 virus. En nee #COVID19 is niet zo onschuldig als een griep, maar ook niet zo gevaarlijk als men denkt. Je hoeft je alleen zorgen te maken om de zwakkeren en ouderen (60+) in onze omgeving. Dus ik geef ze altijd de volgende tips:
Was je handen regelmatig met #zeep. Zeep is een wondermiddel! Waarom? Het nieuwe #coronavirus heeft een ‘envelop’ wat betekent dat het een celmembraan heeft. Dat membraan bestaat uit vetten en deze vallen uitéén als dit in aanraking komt met zeep.

Today, #Mythbusters #7 for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth : "Pediatricians screen for early indicators of autism, ADHD and #dyslexia / #reading impairments!" NOT TRUE! While they screen for autism and ADHD, they current DO NOT screen for #Dyslexia or #reading impairments 1/3
We argue pediatricians should screen for #dyslexia & #reading impairments. WHY? Read our arguments: "Reintroducing Dyslexia: Early Identification and Implications for Pediatric Practice" osf.io/z4ryh/ & take a look at anxiety & depression rates in struggling readers 2/3
Our push for screening for at-risk children in pediatric practices has been supported by today's opinion piece in the @nytimes by Perri Klass, M.D: "Is Your Child Struggling in School? Talk to Your Pediatrician" nyti.ms/35eDTwH.
Please share with your pediatrician! 3/3

🚨🚨🚨Vulnerable tweet/thread alert. 🚨🚨🚨

Over the coming weeks, I am going to start a series of tweets & even act like a millennial and hashtag them as #Mythbusters #paintoo #painsplaining #painstigma and #painshaming.
Today is vulnerable part - why I think this is necessary.

I’ve been public that I used opioids after a surgical injury to my spinal cord left me unable to sit or stand and severely limited in walking. #paintoo #painsplaining #painstigma #painshaming

2/
I’ve never been more aggressively shamed, reduced or had my intelligence questioned more than since publicly donning the cloak of a pain patient. #paintoo #painsplaining #painstigma #painshaming

Molti si affrettano a prendere in giro questo account creato da pochi mesi. Ma confutare alcuni degli argomenti proposti senza ricorrere a controargomenti più o meno basati su autorità esterne non è affatto ovvio come sembra.
/1


#terrapiatta
Trovo invece che provare a controargomentare correttamente a questa e alcune delle altre argomentazioni di @TPiatta sarebbe un buon esercizio per gli studenti degli ultimi anni delle superiori.
/2


#terrapiatta
Piuttosto, trovo che sia un po' deprimente il fatto che la stragrande maggioranza dei reply ai tweet di @TPiatta si basa su evidenze ingenuamente osservative (ad esempio le foto da satellite), nel senso che in ultima analisi sono di natura fideistica.
