What server or client toolchains are you using that don't make HTTP Compression trivial and transparent?

You could have simply bid 1.25 or whatever your true reserve is in the first place. If your reserve price changes in the face of the current auction price you're not acting rationally.
603.
by lotyrin 11y ago
It doesn't matter. If you set your reserve to what you're willing to pay, you cannot spend more than you are willing to pay. Then any sellers that shill bid above that level risk buying their own auctions and paying the auction ho

The online auction with hard bid window is perfectly fine. Rationally, everyone bids their reserve price immediately at any time during the window. The current winning bid (just above the second bidder) is displayed so you can avoid the eff

I'm not sure you understand. theme() appears to just be a pretty simple observable ("hookable") delegator... I mean the extreme flexibility (and great potential for large amounts of slow synchronous processing from abuse) of

Drupal "theme arrays" are not entirely different. They wanted expressions covering what to be themed and how to theme those things and to allow nesting of this information - S-expr flavored PHP. I wish I knew if this had been done

Sometimes problems really are just large. Sometimes you need results faster than a single microcomputer's CPU(s) can produce them and UNIX was invented too early to come with solutions for doing that in ways that prevent complexity. HP

It's mutual. Unix didn't solve problems for developers of large systems that stand on the shoulders of open source software libraries by failing to provide dependency resolution or versioning + namespacing source/built files.

Products should be made of programs. Programs should be able to be simple enough to be "complete" while how they get built, replaced, planned, and orchestrated however, is free to be as fluid as the problem to be solved. Many syst

Not that I agree with them, but this analogy doesn't hold. What if the bank in question is in a nation where criminals vastly outnumber and over-power public and private security? The matter really is quite a bit different when dealing

The attention to detail in spec output is exemplary. Uploading to Imgur for displaying card images to users seems like a strange choice, though. Why not have the bot serve its own images up over HTTP and attach URLs to itself? I could even

System level package management falls quite short of what you want for applications in a lot of ways still. Different apps will want to specify and build against extremely specific and different versions of their dependencies, and developer

I can't help but feel like the anti-native-extensions point of view is short sighted. Why shouldn't we have optimized implementations of algorithms that we can share across various languages?

I'd think execjs would be in the running.

You'd have to run it as a sort of recurring scheme where the current players are earning an expected value based on the investments of the previous years' players - start with a negative expected value until the backing fund achie

Yes, they've verified this in several ways, either test-retest (ask for a variety of synesthetic associations and verify them some time later) or even by constructing challenges that would be easier for synesthetes than non-synesthetes

It's kinda poignant to think of the rediscovery of the option to -not- use a feature. It drives home that floating point has come to feel normal and the default mode of doing anything and everything with a decimal point regardless of i

I think these sorts of things can still find solutions under BI. By eliminating wage slavery, only those that are compensated proportionally to the risks will take on the work. If manufacturers cannot afford that level of compensation, or c

The convention is to make sure that the stable branch is the left parent, and the feature branch is the right, and that the merge commit log messages are decent (Git b web UIs do this fairly decently by default). Now you can get a log of l

Yep. This has been the primary source of frustration for me in my communicating with software developer peers. I'll explain the task I'm delegating carefully: why it exists, the big picture of how it should be implemented, what tr

I'm not recommending anyone change the address they listen on by default. Certainly the wildcard is a sensible default for the reasons you mention.

by lotyrin 12y ago
Nope, perfectly possible to not have an IPV4 address. $ sudo ifconfig lo 0 $ ifconfig lo lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING [... the rest omitted for b

by lotyrin 12y ago
That would account for the case where my local machine doesn't have a host entry for "localhost" but would break if I don't have an IPV4 loopback (if, say, I only have a IPV6 one). Both of those are pretty odd cases, so

Right, so it might make sense to go in the listen parameter of an app, but probably not for me to enter into my browser for how I get to that app.

Ha, I remember back when I first had Jekyll tell me to browse to http://0.0.0.0:NNNN/ and thinking "This can't possibly be correct, certainly that's invalid. Oh, it worked." Glad I wasn't losing my

Except, the other sandwich costs 5 dollars, and as far as we can tell, will cause our cars to make the same amount more money as the 50 dollar sandwich, so we need at least some kind of value proposition between the two sandwiches if we are

Post-scarcity doesn't mean "scarcity-naive" or that everything has to be non-scarce. We already have things that aren't scarce and by assuming scarcity is a factor of value, we irrationally devalue them. Post-scarcity ec

Decades of Windows and Linux I figured I'd give it a shot for a few weeks before I would eventually give up on it. It took maybe a day, I'm hooked and now everything else is weird.

Is the file type-based directory structure required? I find it redundant (my files already specify their type with extensions) and counter-intuitive (I'd expect to find two posts in the same "posts" directory, regardless of t
