Re:EU Referendum Results on Thursday June 23, 2016 @08:40PM (#11965397)
I'm harvesting results from the BBC website, and comparing them with estimates from ACPO (http://apcoworldwide.com/docs/default-source/default-documen...).

You can see a feed of results here: https://gist.github.com/inglesp/0b0ba9efcefe54f965be9b042afd...

Caveat: I'm drinking increasingly heavily.

Re:Powering the Python Package Index on Monday May 16, 2016 @05:05AM (#11705121)
Your comment comes across as spiteful.

Also, from the article: "Over the years many different people and services have participated in the maintenance and running of PyPI. I’m not going to attempt to create an exhaustive list of every person or service who has ever helped, but instead focus on those who are currently involved."

Where's the $9000 come from?

Musicophilia is also strange and wonderful, and very much worth reading.
Re:Show HN: C4 – Connect Four, with AI on Wednesday January 14, 2015 @12:33PM (#8887707)
Unless I've totally misunderstood, I don't think you're right.

For instance, on your first go, drop in column 0. Then, the AI drops in columns 1, 2, 3, 4, leading to this:

    . . . . . . .
    . . . . . . .
    . . . . . . .

Sounds not-so-dissimilar to Tom Stuart's "Refactoring Ruby with Monads" (https://speakerdeck.com/tomstuart/refactoring-ruby-with-mona...) which is excellent.

Yep, we know!

We're @opencorporates on twitter, and I'll make sure we add a link to that from mapthebanks.com later today.
Can you expand a bit on what you mean by "midwifery is illegal"? To me, that sounds as odd as "dentistry is illegal" ...
Re:Map the Banks on Monday December 15, 2014 @06:30PM (#8755100)
I don't see your submitted mission in the system, and the link in your post seems broken. Do let me know if you're having any problems.

Thanks for reporting this -- we'll get this fixed soon.

Hi HN,

I work for OpenCorporates, the team behind this, and we were planning to do a "Show HN" in the next couple of days, once we'd got a few wrinkles sorted out.

In the meantime, I'll be around for a bit and try to answer any questions.
