Thanks, I'll definitely add that to the "See Also" section. Can you elaborate on the places where setuptools is broken? I wanted to keep things as simple as possible for the sake of this tutorial, and I think the described constraints shoul

MIT is basically the same (average of one course per term), with an additional "distribution requirement" which means that a selection of your humanities courses must be spread across a certain number of categories. http://web.mit.edu/hass

Most of the exhibits are multi-lingual. Also, the museum is frequented (perhaps partially staffed?) by university students studying engineering and physics, who have excellent English skills and are very friendly.

This doesn't make sense. You can use Github purely as a git remote, and nothing else--just as you can use Gmail as an IMAP host, and nothing else.

Yeah. This is all talking about 3taps, not "general search engines". 3taps seems to be claiming that Craigslist has cut off Google, but I think it's just that Craigslist has cut off 3taps. *Edit: Craigslist added nocache directives to their

I don't think this is accurate. As far as I can tell, there is nothing in CL's robots.txt, meta tags, or response headers that prevents Google from indexing them. Further, requesting a CL post with the Googlebot user agent yields the same c

It's not contradictory to agree that the MPAA's "every pirate is a stolen sale" claim is bullshit, but still think that torrenting TV shows is unethical. Some may believe that the ethical choice is just to not watch that TV show.

What developer isn't getting 90+ page speed scores these days? That stuff is trivial low-hanging fruit that rarely requires rearchitecting your application or page.

Re: 3, how do you calculate confidence bounds for a bandit test? I was under the impression that traditional AB testing methodologies (e.g. z-tests, p-values, etc) broke down here, because the sample size is variable.

I don't believe it's possible for a site accepting credit cards on a non-SSL page to be PCI compliant, period, no exceptions. It's trivial to MITM to steal your card info.

That concern exists with 3rd-party ad networks as well: a publisher site could certainly cause ad impressions to happen without an eyeball actually seeing those ads. (e.g. text-indent: -5000px) The answer is just that they don't, but they d

Previous posts[1] have indicated that Fog Creek does rather extensive profit sharing. Isn't that just a form of commission? Further, profit sharing includes non-sales employees. [1] http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000038.html
