I disagree with that quote he throws out at the end there about A/B testing not being able to construct things. Isn't that essentially what genetic algorithms do? Granted, we don't use that sort of process to make a website because it woul

Yeah, sorry about that, I guess that would have made my comment a little less worthless. My interpretation of that clause includes tools such as this, and though it is hardly some gross violation, I do find it amusing. I know Selenium RC do

It sounds to me like you might be taking the wrong lesson away from this. Try finding the five things most precious to you and throwing away everything else . Being affected by the loss of a spoon shouldn't make you want to never love a s

I might feel the same way if I didn't buy a Kindle specifically so people on the train couldn't see what I was reading. Not out of any kind of principle or anything, I just don't want people knowing that every book I read has a dragon or a

Just a thought, but some of their appeal might lie not so much in the food, but rather the smokin' hot nurses they appear to have working there.

He wrote a follow-up entry on Language Log: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1319 It's mostly a response to the comments on Fark, so understandably he's a little bitter. Still, he does recommend an alternative: Joseph Williams'
