> Unless 100% percent of the population was surveyed and 99% told pollsters they “don’t care”, that isn’t evidence of anything. Rigorous, reliable statistical analysis is possible without polling 100% of the population.

Is there any risk of Bash ever going away? It seems like it's the de facto shell. I remember considering whether or not I should learn Perl at one point. It didn't even feel like a choice with Bash. Trendy shells seem like they ha

I’m not sure in exactly what sense you mean, but I’d say it’s because it’s the same target demographic/business segment. No, really! I mean, all advertising is bullshit[0], after all. We want novelty but also familiarity. It validates

Probably more likely that they’re going, “Hmm, I’ve got that 3D printer gathering dust, and I don’t really ask too many questions. Maybe I could print some and make a little side money?”

> how hard it is to buy your way into a top school. Just to add dimension here, I think this is a pretty hard claim to prove. I think it would be safer to say that these types of situations are most likely the exception and not the rule.

I at least partially agree with you. I wouldn’t suggest that a university name or even the presence of a degree should ever occupy the crux of a decision to proceed with or reject a candidate. I guess you could say I think of it as primaril

I feel that you’ve glossed over my example about institutional size. I don’t mean to harp, but it’s a pretty good example of something a hiring manager can use to make positive inferences about a candidate. If hiding names and cost are real

First of all not all kinds of discrimination are bad. What about small vs. large schools (cultural exposure/social skills)? What about exceptional programs/colleges that are relevant to a given job posting? They’re not the rule, b

Yes, sorry. East Asia is what I meant. To be completely honest, I’m not sure if I read SE Asia somewhere or if I’ve always just thought of Taiwan as SE Asia for some reason. Mercator projections, maybe? Anyway, today I learned Taiwan is in

They have a lot of work to do if that is the case. The beta experience at present is downright poor, particularly on the non-Apple end of things.

I built this for my company. It’s create-react-app with Redis. Redis works great in this instance because it has built-in functionality for timed expiration (no cron needed). I use Node’s crypto to cipher it in the browser with a randomly g

So why not pass that along to the consumer? If we were talking about a quarter an article before, now it's thirty five cents. I'd still pay it. My point was that the technology seems good enough now. I'll admit I could be way

Why not just offer a preview (headline and first paragraph) and pay a small fee per article; maybe something like a quarter? They could also include an unlimited tier for avid readers. A decade ago this model would probably be a non-starter

I initially really liked this idea. I think the only problem is that it could lead to requiring more moderation. It's very hard to enforce quality. Right now I'm imagining a bandwagon chain of "You suck!" or other low qu

I don't know who originally said it, but does the old adage, "code is harder to read than it is to write" apply here? Is COBOL more difficult to read than C?
