I completely agree on the package manager issue. I switched to OS X about 6 years ago. Before that I mainly used Arch Linux with wmii. My switch from Arch to OS X took about 6 mont…

I would be interested to see how this effect affects the conversion rate. I could imagine that it could work very well on physical products.

Just a small tip which may ease the search for methods. The general term for "on the fly" learning is online learning [1]. The rest depends on your problem but there are often onli…

I think these numbers are based on one blog post the company made[1]. They wrote: "[...] defined that an app has to hold a position for at least 7 days to be considered as "ranked"…
