503 unavailable. I don't know, but I'll bet $10 that this is another Wordpress blog that made it to the HN homepage. Somehow it are almost always Wordpress blogs that go down.

If I really did bet for $10 that it's wordpress every time a site goes down on the HN homepage, I could simply quit my job. Perhaps I should ask $10 to optimize Wordpress websites (aka install a caching plugin and done), hmm...

No shit, it's only been covered by two other front-page stories on HN

Firefox OS simulator that runs on Win/mac/lin? Sounds like a complicated way of just running Firefox :P

It's commonly known, especially on HN, that self education works much better than any school. I too surpass pretty much everyone at school because I started programming much earlier.

Oh a 15 year old, how cute. So, what about that module? Why is it special enough to be posted to HN?

The age is not relevant. Imagine someone of 36 made this module and included his age. If he had gotten into programming at 35 and this was some kick-ass thing, then yeah that would be kinda neat. Now you could have been programming for five years or so, which gives you a big advantage.

If you had been twelve or so, then I'd say it rocks. But fifteen is a fine age to develop something.

I don't mean to discourage you at all, just let the product speak and not your age.

I don't see how being 15 years old requires any empathy by default.

I love this line.

The truth is, I genuinely didn’t realize Frequentists and Bayesians were actual camps of people—all of whom are now emailing me.

Haven't tried it, but isn't that blocked by Javascript's cross-domain protection?
