The problem is that we place a responsibility on competition in the market to favor consumers by reducing prices and preventing companies from having excessive margins. Allowing a …

This is similar to calculating probability from an odds ratio - if x = 1 and if n = your odds ratio, p = n/(n+1) A neat explainer for how this helps with Bayesian updates (which is…

That was a bad way to make the point, because you could serve five orders of magnitude higher with PHP, or node or go or python or pretty much any language right now. On top of tha…

I second the channel recommendation, it is a perfect watch for people interested in hands on building.

Syncthing now supports untrusted encrypted nodes, and it's fairly reliable.

How I do this: * Create a unidirectional push only sync between the phone and a remote * Remote has a cron that syncs to backblaze regularly, and deletes from the server (this does…

Might I suggest checking out org-journal? It's a natural extension of the org-mode way of things, and integrates quite well with the agenda too.

In my experience, ALB scaling is opaque, and constantly lags behind herds of traffic. This is very noticeable if you're running services that experience sudden spikes, there's a no…

Dan Luu has some interesting metrics on this [1]. This strikes at a slightly different problem, the latency of actually showing things on screen, but points out that not all is goi…

Looking at the code, this looks neat and minimal. I love the style. I was struck by how simple and effective an idea this was, and the clean implementation. Great work!

You can also check out Zetteldeft, a deft based org mode extension that adds a bunch of useful shortcuts.
