Can InnerSource bring open source practices to closed corporate bureaucracies?
Open source won. Now, the OSS way of working is making inroads into new territories: the corporate engineering department.
Level Up: Linear Regression in Python – Part 5
In the fifth lesson of the series we’ll learn how to build more flexible linear models by adding interaction and polynomial terms. We’ll fit and inspect our models both mathematically and visually to understand how they work. In the process, we’ll continue to practice our Python skills and discuss some of the merits (and drawbacks)…
State of the Stack Q2 2021
We have had an exciting couple of months here at Stack Overflow. That excitement doesn't change our plans for the future, detailed in this post.
Let’s enhance: use Intel AI to increase image resolution in this demo
Across alien epics and procedural crime dramas, detectives and truth seekers have repeated the mantra: zoom and enhance. It’s passed into popular culture as a much-beloved meme, but in recent years, machine learning has increasingly made this fiction trope into an accessible reality. And we've got the demo to prove it.
Level Up: Linear Regression in Python – Part 4
In the fourth lesson of the series, we’ll talk about the matrix representation of the linear regression problem. In the process, we’ll discuss the basics of matrix multiplication. We’ll also see how this mathematical understanding can prepare us to make sense of error messages that we might encounter when fitting a model in Python. Here…
Using low-code tools to iterate products faster
Many developers are skeptical of using low-code tooling to build software. Buying software instead of building it has advantages, especially when your goal is to iterate faster.
Most developers believe blockchain technology is a game changer
But a little over one third disagree, viewing blockchain as mostly hype
Level Up: Linear Regression in Python – Part 3
In the third lesson of the series, we’ll implement our first linear regression model with multiple predictors (this is called “multiple linear regression”). As an example, we’ll use a simulated dataset to predict student quiz scores. In the process, we’ll again practice our graphing and Python skills. Here are some Stack Overflow questions related to…
Prosus’s Acquisition of Stack Overflow: Our Exciting Next Chapter
This morning, Prosus (PROSY) has announced its intention to acquire Stack Overflow for 1.8 billion dollars. This is tremendously exciting news for our employees, our customers, our community members, and for our shareholders, and I will share a bit more about what it all means.
CSS in SVG in CSS: Shipping confetti to Stack Overflow’s design system
Stack Overflow celebrates site accomplishments with confetti in multiple places. That means it's time to formalize it in our design system.

Level Up: Linear Regression in Python – Part 2
In the second lesson of the series, we’ll learn how to fit and interpret a simple linear regression with a categorical predictor. We’ll use a simulated dataset to predict the amount of time someone will spend on a website based on the browser they are using. We’ll also predict the rental prices of NYC apartments…
