- DanielBMarkham 18y agoGreat minds think alike! http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=517447 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=517447 (EDIT) I deleted my comment, because I like your chron idea much better (BTW, what'd you use for the scraping?) Here's the direct link. http://www.whattofix.com/images/HNUsersByAge.jpg http://www.whattofix.com/images/HNUsersByAge.jpg Like I said in the original, glad to update it if anybody likes the 3-D that much better.
- asjo 18y agoCool! I didn't see yours before posting mine... (I get a 403 Forbidden currently?)
- DanielBMarkham 18y agoYeah. You have to hit refresh to see the graph. It won't work if the referrer is an outside site. Had too many people lifting bandwidth and needed to stop it.
- aneesh 18y agoCool. What are you using to draw the graph?
- asjo 18y agoI'm using curl to get the page, piping it into a simple one-off Perl-script that produces a comma-separated file, which in turn is read by a tiny R script, which then produces the graph.
- whatusername 18y agoyou don't happen to still have the hourly scrapes do you? A line graph showing when age-groups were online/voting might be of interest. (I noticed that 20-24 was first, and has dropped to 2nd now)
- asjo 18y agoNo, it was a quick hack late at night, and I didn't think of archiving the data - sorry.
