Website operators need to revolt against Microsoft and their bots.

We see nearly a thousand parallel connections from their bots, nearly continuously.

For only 18% of search use, they seem to consume several times more resources than Google.

And for some stupid reason their bing bot and msn bot do not share data but crawl the same pages independently.

(and yes we use crawl-delay directive, they ignore it)
Yo, I love what you guys are doing - I even interviewed with ya'll last spring - but you're overdissing Jenkins here. I can get a basic job running in a basic Jenkins instance in well under 30 minutes, for an already live Linux server w/ JRE. I don't have to configure hardly anything except for the job.

Notus Bene:
Mind you, after you need to do super complicated things & especially fuss with some varieties Windows auth, Jenkins gets complicated.
Marketing aside I find Bing results good. Google is kind of turning into singularity and tends to return only google (or US) centered results (for example youtube only videos). Bing seems to have better diversity.
Ruby, Python, and PHP are the most popular languages. Front and backend web dev are roughly equally popular, but web dev is much more popular than native mobile (the split is around 80/20). We also get some interest in dev ops (chef is a little more popular than puppet, maybe 60/40).

I don't know why people get so mad about this. You use the term "right lane", but what does that mean? It only means what you want it to mean in a given situation.

The lane is open until it is not, and as long as both lanes are open they are both "right" (in the non-directional sense, obviously). Why rely on clearly nebulous (sometimes variable, sometimes non-existent) social norms rather than concrete traffic norms? Use the open lane, or don't complain when others do. It's not asshole behavior, it's common sense driving.

There is no reason to take offense while driving so long as people 1) follow the rules of the road and 2) do not endanger others with reckless driving. Using open lanes does neither, and it only inconveniences the people that refuse to use the roads as they are intended to be used.
First they invented DRM for HTML5. Now they've figured out who to sell it to.
> When I looked into the claim a bit more, I was slightly annoyed to learn that the “nearly 2:1” claim is based on a study of just 1,000 participants. To be sure, I’ve often published studies with similarly small datasets, but it’s a little cheeky for Microsoft to base what might be a multi-million dollar advertising campaign on what I’m guessing is a low six-figure study.

He's right, but a sample of 1,000 is rigorous compared to most studies used in adverts. Give a product to 50 people and ask if they like it or not. That turns into 97% of people recommend our product!!

Since I live in a country with heavily regulated advertising I'm surprised that there isn't something to cover "sounding sciencey" or "sounding mathy". Certainly if the math is wrong you can get it changed.
OOps, You're quite right. I got urandom and random the mixed up in my head.
A day in the life of poverty
I tried the BingItOn.com challenge: 5/5 for Google for me. But I saw that Microsoft was trying to push me towards "popular" queries (what Miley Cyrus said today about the government shutdown). So I think this is an issue of demographics and sampling: for mass-market 'leisure' queries I could easily see Bing beating Google if that's what Bing is focusing on.

Equally, using Mechanical Turk is probably a biased sample (although to their credit, the paper does examine the demographics in detail); mechanical turk workers are paid more the faster they can find results, i.e. they are top-result driven, whereas I would guess leisure queries are more focused on entertainment and finding something interesting in the first few results.

And (despite the fact that I went 100% Google), I figured I should probably be using something more tech-focused, based on my queries, like DuckDuckGo. From that point of view, I think this BingItOn challenge delivers on the goal of getting people to re-examine their preconceived notions of which search engine they should be using.

I agree that WordPress is a little convoluted for simple projects. However, you can get great starter themes that eliminate that complexity for you from the get-go. Like the _s starter theme or something like Bones.

I think WordPress is often the go-to platform because it's just what people hear about -- plus, it's free. My preferred CMS for websites is ExpressionEngine because it's flexible enough to make it what you want. There's no "loop" that you have to deal with over and over and there aren't a gajillion default things that you have to strip out at the outset of a project.

The trouble is that clients are afraid to try something that isn't what their neighbor is using. I often get, "Yah, but this is what I used in a past project." or "A buddy of mine used WordPress and he gets 10 million hits a day!" Getting them to pay $299 for a commercial license for EE seems like a really steep cost when they could just get WordPress for free and it's "good enough."

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco,CA (Remote or Local) - rob@houseofatomi.com

I'm a SF based designer and front-end developer with a passion for clean, understandable user experiences. My background is in design (specifically architecture), but I believe in being able to build what I design, which allows me to have the technology constraints in mind from the project outset.

Skills include the standard Photoshop/Illustrator and HTML/CSS/SCSS w/Compass/LESS/jQuery. I have experience with a variety of platforms including Magento and dabble in more heavy development work (backbone, Rails, etc) as necessary. I also have experience setting up server environments, mostly with AWS.

Additional work available by email upon request.
The problem with this post, and other "WordPressis too complex" posts like it, is that WordPress did not intially start off this way. Wordprrss was originially a simple blog. Once Barley gets enough users, people will want it to do more and more things until it becomes yet another blog turned CMS platform.

As for me, I use Jekyll and disqus because I'm just one guy.
I use both, simultaneously.

I have 4 different Chromium profiles, and two different firefox profiles, with different levels of privacy / security. Each profile is also linked to a particular context, for example, a tab each for project A, project B, personal, etc.
Those are two different people...

Harvard School of Public Health, contact: ohofmann@hsph.harvard.edu

Our group at Harvard is hiring; we are a group of about half a dozen programmers, statisticians and data analysts working as a bioinformatics core facility at the Harvard School of Public Health. We work on a wide range of interesting projects, most of which are directed towards identifying the causes of and curing diseases. The environment is awesome, the work is important and the group is amazing. As part of our work, we build infrastructure and tools to make future analyses of large scale biomedical omics data easier. That is where you will come in, we are looking for an experienced scientific programmer to join our group, working on scaling up existing analyses to handle the ever-expanding scale of genomics data. The work environment is very self-directed: we have a common focus and goals but nobody tells you what to do, we all care deeply about what we are working on and our group cohesion comes from that. If that sounds like a group dynamic you are interested in, and you are excited that the work you are doing might help make someone's life better, we'd love to hear from you.

About 80% of the work is done in Python; the other 20% is distributed between Clojure and R.

We have an incredible team (currently 12 people), customers, traction, are venture-funded by the best VCs in the valley, have a fantastic office in San Francisco, and we're growing rapidly. This company is on an upward trajectory.

We use Ruby on Rails, but believe in using the right technology for the job.

Since occupancy determines flow rate, there’s not much benefit to trying to “cancel out” a traffic wave

This is so fundamentally mistaken as to make the rest of the analysis useless. Traffic waves account for the majority of highway traffic (excluding on and off ramps), and cause the flow rate for a road to be decimated. It should be obvious that avoiding rate decimation is (literally) an order of magnitude more effective than preventing people from merging in front of you.

Road signs commonly ask you to use both lanes up to the point of the bottleneck. That’s reasonable advice, but it’s not going to get anyone home faster.

No, but if your line is twice as long it is twice as likely to cause contention on the roads behind you. ie, if an exit road has a traffic line twice as long, it is probably causing traffic on the non-exiting highway. So, do everyone a favor and (a) don't tailgate (b) ignore people merging in front of you (c) don't drive in rush hour, and (d) ignore traffic advice from people who don't drive.

(http://tomvanderbilt.com/traffic/the-book/ has actual good advice)
I saw an article about a similar company recently and, like this one, I was still left with an important unanswered question.

How is this service better than a library card?
Hmm, they used Mechanical Turk "workers" to this experiment, paying each worker 40 cents per answer, which netted them 400 responses. They upped the payout to $1 and hit 1000 soon enough. They mixed the two response sets in the final analysis.

I'm SURE that didn't skew the results at all.

They respond to this in the study, but it's going to take a lot to convince me that Mechanical Turk is a respectable source of subjects for consumer behavior research.

The real news here is that Bing and Google are virtually tied with respect to search quality. But that's been my experience based on using DuckDuckGo (which is basically a rebranded Bing afaik).
The article is good, but the math sucks. Statistically, 1000 elements is a large enough sample for binary studies, and is consistent with the number of people that are usually asked about their voting preferences on most polls. Also, the size of the sample does not depend on the size of the population you want to sample, provided that the population is large enough.

Now, whether the sample was actually representative of the population in question is another matter.
It looks like they're using a custom font with scrambled letters (essentially a caesar cipher) and your browser isn't loading/using that font.

This is probably an attempt at DRM.
What privacy issues does Google have that Bing doesn't?

I think Anchor CMS has done a nice job of filling this space. It's FAR from complex.
While it obviously appears to shorten the brushing time, it also looks like it would be much harder to keep the device itself clean - everyone who has had a retainer or other removable dental device could likely attest to this. I'd imagine it would also require more toothpaste.

Seeing as toothbrushes in bulk are about less than $1 each, a $300 ($150 refurbished, but ewwwwww...), hard to clean device seems somewhat difficult to argue for.
