Finally, it's the year of the Linux desktop! Just kidding of course. Can anyone see this by the way? I think I've been shadow banned for apparently no reason.

Next: "why we're leaving bandit and A/B testing"

Every government office could take a lesson in well designed interfaces. Imagine how much smoother the DMV would be if someone had actually made the process designed to be as simpl…

Wouldn't this be much more significant if the effects were found to last longer than, say, 3 days? I was actually under the impression that ketamine and psychedelics had been shown…

I've always wondered if cyber criminals have tons of undiscovered security holes in Windows and other major pieces of software that they just don't release.

A complete digression, but I see people say this all the time: when they want to use the "take with a grain of salt" metaphor, they increase the amount of salt to try to make it se…

Also, why would using virtualenv make anything easier ? If anything, it's slightly more of a pain. Once you learn it, it's fine, but it's certainly not something I think about on a…

So you're automatically hating him without trying to understand the joke he was making?

Please stop putting your periods outside your quotation marks. Please start using double quotes. Please stop telling people what to do. Thank you.

I'd say shyness is an actual fear while introversion is an option for how to spend your time. No one likes being shy, period. The closest thing they can say that will convince me i…

I could see myself using that up legitimately over the course of my life. Now, of course, you could argue that the servers aren't expected to be up that long, but even over the nex…

Probably referring to government subsidized loans (Stafford Loans).

I mean honestly, isn't the problem the same on consoles? It seems like 90% of new games that come out are "meh". Every time a super hero movie comes out you can be guaranteed a shi…

How does it differ? I don't really get it.

http://priceonomics.com/search/?q=feces I think I've discovered a new niche.

Is it just me, or are the drawings terribly confusing? It took me a while to even determine which "point" they went along with.

What other ideas do you see for developers in non-technical niches to get passive income? All I can really think of is stuff relevant to other tech industries.

I actually don't think I would care if Facebook had 5 different like buttons.

I think this has the potential to revolutionize higher education given enough time. With two of the most prestigious institutions in the country offering knowledge for free, it wil…

Thanks, that actually makes it reasonable to listen to for extended periods of time.

How did you manage to support yourself while hosting that many servers? I had thought about buying some servers but wondered how I could make enough to break even.

I think the idea is still there: it takes 20% of the time to do the first 80% of the work; the last 20% takes 80% of the time.

I'd like to add a few FOSS solutions I use every day: python, Django, Apache, and MySQL. These are the cornerstone of my job, and they work quite well.

Is it just me, or does the article give zero explanation on how to actually do a bandit test?

Could you explain what the "fake sales page" was, and how it helped motivate you? How long did your book end up being, by the way?
