grumpycanuck··on Ask HN: What APIs do you wish existed?
Again, the company I work for offers this kind of data but you have to pay for it. We have lots of clients who run fantasy baseball web sites and make use of our real-time stats feeds to update their games.
grumpycanuck··on Ask HN: What APIs do you wish existed?
I work for a sports data integration company, so you can get this data easily. Oh, you mean for free? Yeah, that's not gonna happen any time soon. Someone has to pay people to collect those statistics and then make them available.
grumpycanuck··on The dark side of NoSQL
I don't think that the people who use CouchDB (or similar non-traditional data stores) are really worried about "tranferable knowledge". They're just interested in solving a problem they think the NoSQL group of technologies can help them with.
grumpycanuck··on Open Source Is Really About Documentation – Twisted vs. Tornado
(Disclaimer - I wrote the blog post)

"The Twisted docs are lacking in many ways, I just don't understand how Tornado is objectively better because it doesn't currently have that problem -- they aren't the same thing!"

Of course it's the same thing. If your documentation is lacking, don't complain when people point it out. It's awesome that Jean-Paul (who commented on the blog post) is available to help people...but if there was more documentation then the simple questions disappear and you are left answering the really tough ones. Easier said then done, obiously.

Upon reflection, this is really a comparison of Twisted.web with Tornado. The rest of Twisted got dragged into it, perhaps unfairly.
