It gets elaborate but you can essentially buy email address -> cookie mappings or make your own. You then sync those cookies with the ad exchange and then they're returned to you with every ad auction for that user.

Successful spammers are absolutely targeting their emails. It's similar to when you search for something on Amazon and then see ads for it on Facebook -- the goal is to put an ad in your inbox (essentially for free) instead of paying

Google runs display ads, which are bid on by third parties who can use that data to target emails.

gunicorn + meinheld is even better than gevent in my experience. meinheld is written in C and offers a monkey patch option, and is a little bit faster than gevent. i'm using it with flask + sqlalchemy + redis with great success.

forget about the $3k you have left, what about the money you've already put in? it doesn't look like I can sign up anywhere to get any sort of service, so you have no way to generate a return on your investment so far -- so why w

your library has no tests! it's a good effort but I honestly wouldn't use it yet. a few nit picks: i can't imagine a scenario where i'd want my logger to close stdout (or any other file descriptor) for me. there is a lot of missing error h

please don't do that. part of what makes using jquery plugins so horrific is that every new version is a "total rewrite" and/or drastically changes the API. the API might use hungarian notation, and you might have fallen out of love with i

why? college is not a job training facility and shouldn't be treated like one. high school's goal is to provide a broad education so a graduate can have the basic knowledge necessary to function in society. not everyone goes to college.

i've found scrum to be the worst possible "methodology" on the planet and can't stand pair programming. i've also been known to get things done on occasion. nothing about making software is one size fits all. forcing scrum and pair progra

couldn't agree more. if i had to come up with a permutation algorithm as part of writing code, you'd better believe i'd look one up so that i'm sure i'm doing things optimally. i wouldn't trust myself to come up with the exactly right algo

that question is a bit of a turn-off to me. obviously "benchmark it, see what's slowest, and make it faster" is a correct answer, and so is a 40 page essay about browser rendering, minification, full page caching, fragment caching, AJAX, e

it's very common for people to be as compliant as possible during the hiring process so as not to jeopardize the job, especially their first job out of school. that tends to be the result of years of people saying "you're lucky to get a job

your kernel is already thin and light. if you're using a modular kernel, as most distros default to, you're only loading the modules you need and can use. as for apps and packages, i don't care for most distros' dependency systems, but the

the economics might not work out. if it brings in $30k a year, it's not worth the long days and exhaustion of keeping the service running. i'd be comfortable paying about $10/yr for my account (since i don't use it a ton) but at that rate

they'd do much better with twisted (python) than tornado. using Deferreds is nothing like opening keys with a beer bottle -- it makes a lot of sense. and as a former ITA Software employee, i can scoff and say they aren't actually doing any

if hg-git uses dulwich, and it's all pure python, how come i see it running git-index-pack amongst other git (what i assume are shell) commands?

not mentioned in the article is that apparently Moose is a really good OO system for perl, but (in my opinion) about 10 years too late.

anyone putting 30 second video ads on the internet just doesn't get it. it's not like tv where you have to recapture the viewer's attention -- they're hyper focused on a single place on the screen. i would imagine a 5-7 second "samsung ph

for what it's worth, my experience comes from getting hired at vmware and ITA software (now google). in my experience, the recruiters who source and filter resumes at those companies are rarely technical.

this may be true in startup land, where hires are evaluated by the engineers/managers/founders but it's absolutely not the case in the world of BigCorps. many recruiters (including internal ones) are less technical than anyone would like a

i agree on the overall sales tax issue (and in MA a year or two ago there was a ballot issue to eliminate it -- and for some reason beyond me, people voted to keep it). but if there's a loophole that lets me pay less, i'm going to take adv
