If anyone wants their data back in a way they can use it, it's right here https://seqlite.puny.engineering And I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that their trade dress is MIT licensed. https://stackov

Nice post! Yep, my process is similar. It goes... - decompress (users|posts) - split into batches of 10,000 - xsltproc the batch into sql statements - pipe the batches of statements into sqlite in parallel using flocks for c

This site is on a Cloudflare R2 bucket because (and only because) they have free egress. While not datacenter sized some of these files are large. Just opening up your credit card to 10 cents a gigabyte will be a bad time anywhere else.

I mean fine, write an article that overweights recent events to weave a tale of the decline of Stack Exchange...but don't leave out the moderator strike, the data dump fiasco, or the CEO that simply doesn't get it. Jon Ericson&#x2

PCA/SVD aim for maximizing explained variance, not preserving distance. They tend to "preserve" large distances at the expense of smaller ones, but that's not an explicit goal, nor can you bound the distortion. The [answ

We have offices in NYC, London, and Denver. If I'm remembering correctly, I can count the number of developers who've left the company on one hand. We currently have ~20 engineering staff in the NYC office. Retention doesn't

I'd also like to point out that...we're a largely remote company. We don't index our salaries to the most expensive time and place to hire developers ever. We don't have to support Bay Area rent, or duel it out with AppA

A new site may come to replace it, but what of the 10MM+ questions and scads more answers created by the Stack Overflow community over the last 7 years? Without the CC license all that hard work gets lost in the case SO goes rogue.
