Tip: you can click on the legend to show/hide various browsers. Bonus: Chart just firefox and IEs --- the image looks like the FireFox logo :) http://imgur.com/mldh8.png

Quite a fun an informative article. I've not plugged in a pc-speaker component into my builds the last 6 or so years, I'd gotten used to peace and quiet without shrill (and very loud) beeping coming from inside my box.

Seems I'm haemorrhaging karma over this. I misjudged the method used (Pearson's Chi Square, as pointed out by hn user pibefision). Fine, that'll teach me to skim read and comment. My point above was that the author could have come out and l

Fair point, and yes it's quite informative from that point of view. I didn't like his approach however, he seemed to be beating around the bush a lot with phrases like I'm here to rescue you with a statistically sound yet incredibly sim

I'm wondering what sort of spatial / geo-enabled database and backend he's running with. GeoDjango with PostGIS and some cronned script to do crawl google maps and do the computer vision stuff for a given area would be what I'd use. He coul

Also down for this - I'm handy with Java and Python (have Django experience too), so might be able to chip in with help or advice. Am going to be teaching myself Clojure pretty soon too so if anyone wants to dabble with it let me know! Emai

Seems to be Palatino Linotype (that's the first one of the font-family my OS has available). Not sure why Opera has decided to italicise it though, as the installed font looks fine normally.

Unsure (I'm not great at eyeballing fonts), is there an easy way to check?

Peer-review and constructive criticism are valuable forces for change and improvement. Clearly there's some personal politics going on (insults having been traded) but jgc does raise some good points: the original code is very tightly-coupl
