Hey author here. AMA (about the book). I know there are many books to read out there so let me add the book has at least one positive review by Poul-Henning Kamp of Varnish-Cache a…

But that's enabled by the DNS MX record. There isn't anything like that for social AFAIK, so if you wanted to do the same with your mastodon account you are hosed. Some people are …

How about the web-of-trust a la freenet https://github.com/freenet/plugin-WebOfTrust ?

You lose all your followers. It's like going from blacklight@aol.com to blacklight@gmail.com. It's on you to go to you 1M followers and beg them to refollow you. The goal is to go …

Can anyone name a well-known important software project (say linux, python, tensorflow, angular) that was delivered via Agile/Scum? And some of you may enjoy this linkblog https://…

What are the shortcomings of Wordpress, Tumblr etc and how did you address them? Thanks

And when a post starts by lying by a factor close to 2 about the rate of obesity (42% 2018-2019 per CDC as opposed to 71%) what else in this post is trustworthy?

FYI, Ozonetel bid successfully for the top line ad in my google search [ozonetel], dialpad taking second. You don't get there if you don't bid.

I am not sure that's what he or she was trying to say. Agree with everything you said about native apps. The question for me is if it's necessary for every page to run javascript, …

It seems to me the authors make three main points 1) Pay-per-action confuses correlation (action when seeing ad) with causation (action because of seeing ad). Hence click-through-r…

Add lack of support of polar coordinates. But every lib started immature, and altair is quite new. I think they could use a few good PRs though.

Second that but there is no matplotlib underneath AFAIK. It does html based interactive graphs using a variant of the grammar of graphics, with extensions for interactions. Grammar…

sqrt(N) can be described as "fast" only with significant amounts of spin added. Use ropes instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)

Should've said a generalized rope, as ropes are generally described as a replacement for strings, but if you replace characters with other fixed size data types everything still wo…

How is that different from a rope data structure?

That's not the main difference. The main difference is that the profits can not be paid out investors. They have to be re-invested in the company.

How much does he pay for Electron and React? Imagine the sw world with no OSS, not just your app but no OSS at all. Then you can compare the for pay and OSS models. Not everything …

Try this experiment. When you get to ask questions in the interview, instead of being nice and asking tings like "what's your data science stack" or "how important is testing here"…

I am dumb -- I test at the function level. I have a theory that the likelihood of catching a bug depends on the number of lines being tested, if each can be assumed to do its job. …

Sorry, I am not opening a trello account to report bugs. I am debugging your app for free, just asking not to have so sign yet another one-sided term of service doc. I also have pr…

Musk long ago was talking about his calculations about the physical limits to assembly speed. “the output is going to be volume times density times velocity.” https://electrek.co/2…

I've used both and have two additional comments. Some of the dplyr elegance comes from the flexible evaluation mechanism in R, whereby mutate(data, col1+col2) works because the sec…

Check survivorship bias. The name refers to deadly scenarios, but what is fundamental to it is a bias in reporting that depends on the outcome of interest. The concept was first ha…

The central limit theorem is in the limit for the number of variables in the sum approaching infinity. In the finite world, the article explains how it's done. The article is sayin…
