Right. And you can also ratchet up the statistical power you want, at the cost of increased sample size requirements.

Cool! I'm happy to provide guidance, and I'll take a pull request if you can get it working with some unit tests.

Yeah, that's a neat project. I was already thinking about building this before they launched, and their positive reception spurred me on. If you're already using Heroku Postgres there's a ton of overlap between the services, but I'm hoping

If you can run Rack apps in your environment, it would be pretty straightfoward to add a SQL Server driver to Oculus. Right now it supports MySQL and Postgres.

Thanks! (Sadly I think the demo cron job will delete that after an hour or so :))

It's designed to be used within a team environment, where you trust everyone. (Although even then, I highly recommend using it with a readonly SQL account!) I would be skeptical of any situation where you could run raw untrusted SQL without

Author here. I do a lot of analysis each day and am constantly sharing it with my team by taking screenshots of Sequel Pro. I built Oculus so I could keep a centrally available repository of my research, that everyone could access and colla

This is an interesting study, but I found the HN title to be misleading. Here are the bullets from the concluding paragraph: * The American public has long held generally positive attitudes toward the space program, but is not very familia

This is a powerful approach when you can quantify your regret. For many startups, however, it's important to understand the tradeoffs involved in moving one metric upward or downward. To take Zynga as an example, they care about virality at

I love Giles. His first Archaeopteryx talk was one of the best Ruby-related talks of all time. He's way too harsh on Rails though. The original "blog in 15 minutes" demos that catapulted Rails into the limelight are still possible with Rail

It does in fact share memoization. Easy shared state is a key strength of the single-threaded model. :) Re: Node.js, you're right. The core of the debate is whether the single-threaded, evented model is a legitimate theoretical approach to

It's good to see that in this day and age the government has still mastered the tried and true "print, sign, scan, email, then download via FTP" approach to file downloads.

Real-time clickstreams are one of Clicky's most popular features. This is definitely an attempt to win over customers that might otherwise choose the competition. As far as the creepiness goes... unless you think request logging should be t

Wow. Is this what HN is getting reduced to, that the top-ranking comment is filled with ad hominem attacks? Whether you agree or disagree with the author's motivations, at least be civil. "Nitwit", "liar", "What are you 8?" ... ugh.
