Buffering [0] and Caching [1]. The front-end specifically asks for pages in 200-chunks. So whether you slide to page 299,300 or 385, it will request 200-400 from the API. This means I can then very easily serve these requests out of Redis [

https://github.com/doda/rewindhn/blob/master/scrape.py#L26 This is where the scraping happens. The code is a little uglier than I'd like, but that's largely to do with the hard-extract-data from HN markup. I'll look at adding more data so

Hey. Lots of people suggested this so I added a notice to the blogpost to further explain why I chose these libraries: > I specifically excluded awesome libs like requests, SQLAlchemy, Flask, fabric etc. because I think they're already

Hey, can you talk more on that? I found it to work quite well on my machine and servers, it's also an integral part of another open source library that I'm building. [0] [0] http://github.com/doda/imagy

Hey Permit. This is a really good point. Looking at PyQuery's source code [0], it really does nothing in terms of parsing other than calling lxml's fromstring function and then works with the result of that when evaluating queries. So it wo

Hey. Author of the blog post here. I specifically excluded awesome libs like requests, SQLAlchemy, Flask, fabric etc. because I thought them too "main-stream". If you know what you're trying to do, it's almost guaranteed that you'll stumble

Hey before BS 4 got released I looked forward to the very same thing you're talking about, using BS on top of lxml. But it seems the performance hasn't really improved: http://www.crummy.com/2012/1/22/0

Sorry :( The application as it exists currently heavily relies on EJS (embedded JavaScript) templating. I originally just dumped the raw scraped HTML into the DOM but that proved to be too space-inefficient (even with gzip).

Hey. I built RewindHN. I created this for the HN community and I'm very happy to see so many people enjoying it :) If you have any questions about how I built this or if you'd like to suggest something new, let me know!

Hm. That's weird. I'm using http://github.com/madrobby/keymaster to hook up the keys to the same function also used by the slider itself. Does the keymaster live demo at http://madrobby.github.com/keymaster/ work for you?

That's a good idea! I'll look at incorporating some "historic" snapshots from archive.org

I think what you mean is that anyone can break the internet (in this case a random ISP from Indonesia) and that in that case only very specific people could fix it (probably at least a senior network engineer at said ISP).

Your dropdowns are being hidden by the video player. To fix this you need to 1. set the `wmode` on the embed to `opaque`, though this disables some optimizations and thus takes up more CPU 2. hide the video while drop downs are active 3. (p

One of the few times I've felt jealous as a Linux user :) Really cool, I love the a={2:42} a.values()[0]. <int completion> example. What are the limitations of such a system in Python? Are there cases where it can be wrong?

Ah thanks! I knew there was some part missing to my full understanding of the term. If I were to criticize my original post, I'd say it's overly negative. My tone was dismissive and that's probably what most people found issue with. It's a

The thought of "middlebrow dismissals" came to mind when I saw the ensuing discussion. Now I don't think I fully understand what is meant by the term. Further googling didn't bring up anything else, but if it's meant that I simply dismiss w

Yup. That's what I said in the original post. This is a net-good for the startup community. It's not charity though, as they'd like to make us think.

I think my initial post is being misunderstood. That's probably my own fault. I like what Braintree is doing here. I don't like how they've worded it. It's as if they think their customers are dupes, stupid enough not to see that they're no

I tried to clearly differentiate on what I think about the offering (beneficial to the community) and how they worded their announcement (misleading). Yes, I realize the majority of my message was spent in negativity. That is something, I,

Competition is good for consumers. So in essence this is probably one of the positive effects Stripe has on the payments landscape. Not only are they offering a well-received service. They're also forcing their competition to come up with w
