  1. Goals for April 2016

    - Write 12 pages for my book - Launch a first version of an app that I've been working on I usually do quarterly goals, so I am skipping some stuff here like reading another book (Effective Java) etc.
  2. Learn Regular Expressions in About 55 Minutes by Sam Hughes

    Knowing the basics is definitely a requirement, even if you don't code. You can also use them in editors like sublime text to extract information. That being said, even after years of using them regularly, I still don't know more than the basics and often have to look things up. As long as you...
  3. Goals for March 2016

    ☑ Find a new job ☑ Write 12+ new pages for the book ☐ Finish reading Code Complete Had to stop in the middle of the book since it was really boring and I did not learn anything new in the last couple of chapters. Got a few things out of the beginning though, so that's good.
  4. Taking over frontpage (weak competition)

    Since I don't do much SEO anymore these days, I have no idea if this is the right thing to do. So please help me out here. So I have a local search term that I want to dominate. I set up a website a year ago and built a few manual links (10 maybe?) and it ranks #7 already. I was thinking that...
  5. How to make a business directory (in Wordpress)?

    If you have the coordinates of both, it would be pretty simple. Sum the difference in latitude and longitude. Sort by that (lowest first) and get the top 1 result for each row.
  6. How does one scrape a page with JavaScript?

    I don't see the problem. You can also extract data from JS scripts. If the site is doing ajax requests, you just do those requests yourself. If that's too complicated, just use a headless browser as turbin3 suggested.
  7. This is the keto thread

    Dresden, just out of curiosity. You have been on keto for a while, have you had your cholesterol levels checked?
  8. Saleforce: The SaaS Startup Founder’s Guide

    Just stumbled across this. Haven't read it myself yet but looks promising. Download it here (it's free)
  9. How Do I Climb Those Last Few Spots

    Match and exceed. Do they have more backlinks? Do they have better backlinks? Whatever it is, get more than they have. Don't just blindly build links, look at what your competitors have/are doing.
  10. Insight Gaining Rapid Fire Q&A's

    Peter Thiel has a good one: Tell me something that's true, that almost nobody agrees with you on

    - Find a new job - Write 12+ new pages for the book - Finish reading Code Complete
  12. This is the keto thread

    I don't know which products you bought or didn't, but there is a large marketing machine behind the whole low carbs fad. Calories in/out is the most important thing by far for weight control. The other things are micromanagement and unless you are a pro-athlete it doesn't matter (as long as you...
  13. This is the keto thread

    Oh look, a marketer falling for other marketers crap... Instead of chasing the latest fad diet, just eat healthy foods and count your calories if you want to gain or lose weight. If you want to lose weight you need a caloric deficit, not restrict the foods that you are eating. Losing and...

  15. What hobbies do you guys have beyond IM?

    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
  16. Lima

    Meh. Just get a proper NAS like Synology. Then you can have RAID 1 and not lose all your data if your disk dies. Plus some other nice features.
  17. A Short Story About Versioning (aka Get Your Shit Together)

    There is also Gitlab (https://about.gitlab.com/) if someone prefers a self hosted solution. But I think Bitbucket does the job for most people and no there is no setup/hosting required. I use it for all my personal private projects (the public ones are on github). Since bitbucket is free for...
  18. A Short Story About Versioning (aka Get Your Shit Together)

    Joe is your (slightly above) average internet marketer. He has a couple of successful sites that are making him money. Most of them are Wordpress and are on a cheap shared hosting site with cPanel. If he needs to change something, he just uses FTP to update a template, plugin etc. Are you Joe...
  19. How would build a Dating App and Site?

    You are competing in a very saturated niche. Dating sites thrive by having a big userbase. You won't be able to compete like this, so it will end up a money sink. Either build something at least 10% better than the competition and go all in on this or don't even bother. You will just end up...
  20. Putting Certain Things On Separate Servers

    Definitely separate your automation software from your websites and tracking. You don't want your whole network going down just because you violated a ToS or someone complained about some link spam. You also don't want to eat up the resources from your money makers. Once you have that...
