I have the code up on GitHub, but the server I've been using to host the application myself isn't up right now. I have to debug some problem, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the code (just my deployment process). Here it is:

Sure thing. I'll probably re-do it in Flask because I looked at the code for the first time since last October and it's way more complicated than it needs to be. There are only a few lines of code, but there are a bunch of cruft files for t

I use something similar that I created all the time. Mine connects to the DuckDuckGo API to pull the Zero-click info which is sourced from Wikipedia, Crunchbase, and a bunch of others. I never thought to open source it, but maybe I'll take

I'm just about done with the video now. It's definitely worth watching. There are a lot of really cool demonstrations of evolutionary algorithms.

A couple of weeks ago I was pretty bored and decided that I wanted to get out. I rode down the street to the grocery store on my board (about the size of a Penny board). After I went in and got some candy (Altoids actually) I decided to kee

This is something that I've noticed myself. I find that it's much easier to write a paper for school by just writing something, no matter how simple, and using it as a framework for the next iterations. It makes it much easier for me to thi

I find it interesting that they didn't go to great lengths to hide the identities of the "mystery" companies.

I've got 50 spot requests running and another 50 pending evaluation. I'm really curious to see how much I can contribute with that in 24 hours.

It's my understanding that at Mozilla you can choose to work remotely or in their office, so I imagine they shoot to make everything virtual to make that as seamless as possible. GitHub is largely distributed too [2]. I'd say that Automatt

It looks great full screen on my 1440x900. I'm not sure if that qualifies as big though.

Great, thanks!

I don't see a license specified anywhere. What is it released under?

Thanks for the response. Would it make sense to say that this is more likely to be used for metadata (i.e. analytics, logs, etc.) while a normal RDB (or NoSQL DB) would be used for application data (i.e. users, settings, etc.)?

What is the use case for something like this versus a regular RDS service?

Right now there isn't a way for users to submit libraries, it's all done by me. I'll probably add a suggestions form, but if you have any suggestions now, let me know!

Thanks for clarifying that.

Does the "response rate" only reflect initial emails? If there is a conversation, then it's going to end eventually, so the fact that you don't respond to an email that says "okay" wouldn't really mean much.

No, I wasn't able to find anything explaining the data either. I actually called a couple of offices to ask how complete it was, and nobody knew what to do with me. The first number I could find was the mayor's office. The person who answer

I'm glad to see another take on the data. I'm also relieved to see that our results are along the same lines! :) You say that "Red light violations" are automated. That didn't even cross my mind! I just assumed that they were manually issue

What I meant when I said, "I'm not a statistician" is "I have no clue what I'm doing, but I want to see what the data says." I went in with no experience, so I just went with what made sense to me. Several people made some good suggestions

I appreciate your concern! I didn't really draw any conclusions from the data, as I mentioned in the "Conclusions" sections. This wasn't meant to be hard science, just some fun with data. I did make an update with a few, more conventional s

The statement was that there is no API for promoted tweets for third-party apps. If Twitter has promoted tweets, they have to get them from somewhere. That implies that there is an internal API where they get promoted tweets. I think I may

Thanks. It looks like I need to do a little self-study in statistics.
