It is completely different psychologically when you’re not determining the price at a personal level in the context of a single transaction.

The thing I find interesting about a lot of things like this is that they feel like a holdover of half the era where negotiating prices was normal: today, for most people in the US, most shopping is just a matter of going somewhere and payi

Useful theories only come to exist because someone started by saying they must exist and then spent years or lifetimes discovering them.

Yeah, ROX-Filer is an amazingly good bit of software, once you figure out its UX quirks

This is a reductive view of the economy: one pays for something whenever one trades something of value to one’s counterparty to something that’s of value to oneself. In many cases, in fact, it’s preferable to do this sort of “bartering” to

I do get that, and I’m fine with it.

I think this is sort of missing the point: I’m happy to trade a bit of attention here and there for services because I’m just going to go without a lot of things if I have to pay real money for them. If we go to a model where every site cha

I always find the interaction between probability distributions a little surprising.

The second formulation sounds easier to use to adapt to specific use cases too: just bump the priority of a message based on your business rules to make it more likely that interesting events get to your log database.

Does this method compose with itself? E.g. if I implement reservoir sampling in my service and then the log collector service implements reservoir sampling, is the result the same as if only the log collector implemented it?

I doubt doctors do: my guess would be most doctors follow a list of best practices devised by people like malpractice actuaries and by their sense of the outcomes from experience.

For splitting double pages, this is the best tool I’ve seen: https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0 For the other issues, I haven’t found any single good tool, but I’ve stitched together things like unpaper, ghostscrip

That’s only partially true: I know for a fact that people in government agencies were given permission to use Signal during the Salt Typhoon attacks. You might not be able to use Signal for certain DOD purposes, but non-DOD agencies do perm

I think many adtech companies (at least in affiliate marketing) use redirects because third party cookies are unreliable and redirects make all the cookies first party. As mentioned elsewhere, they’ve also been switching to proxies and oth

From last year after Salt Typhoon became public: > Adopt a free messaging application for secure communications that guarantees end-to-end encryption, such as Signal or similar apps. CISA recommends an end-to-end encrypted messaging app

The whole point of the JVM is that languages don’t need to be limited to the low-level types C FFI forces you into.

The weird thing about 1/cos is it’s discontinuous wherever cos is 0 but, yes, it’s a function.

Tell that to all the companies stuck on Java 8 with old versions of Spring and Hibernate. This is the cost of an ecosystem where major libraries make breaking changes.

This is a bad definition of security, I think. But you could come up with variations here that would be good enough for most home network use cases. IMO, being able to control the certificate on the device is a crucial consumer right

I wonder what this would look like: for things like routers, you could display a private root in something like a QR code in the documentation and then have some kind of protocol for only trusting that root when connecting to the router and

It makes systems more reliable and secure for system runners that can leverage automation for whatever reason. For the same reason, it adds a lot of barriers to things like embedded devices, learners, etc. who might not be able to automate

This really depends on how much effort Microsoft puts into working on Blink itself vs. its skin. And, since Microsoft and Google are similarly sized companies, Microsoft is in a better position to fork Blink if the shared engine becomes a

This reminds me a bit of Boggle which really needs a timer. If anything, the timer on this is too long: I did it in 0:32 and was better than 53% of other users, which suggests to me the timer should be about a minute

It’s worse in music: the folk music that came before recorded music had a long history of everyone borrowing and putting their own spin on someone else’s tune and, today, this is viewed as some kind of assault on the originator of the tune.

So, something I’m thinking about here is that the 9p vision has always seemed really cool to me: expose all the resources in the network in a unified way that enables the whole network to be used as if it was a single computer. But, since t

Doesn’t plan9 support frame buffers over 9p or something like that? You could probably write a wrapper that just forwards a Linux browser to a plan9 window
