I'm not familiar with HackPad, but I don't think that's what's happening, because the `img` tags point directly to goatse.info. I think someone edited the document, removed whatever content was once there, and replaced it with goatse pics. That's a shame, because I was interested in reading the article.
Great job. I have my own mongodb of the games/scores that I update manually (not in real time though).
I would love to see something automated like this for the major leagues (La Liga, BPL, Bundesliga, Serie A). I tried my hand at scraping the HTML of different sites, but found out that the main ones guard against that by changing their HTML periodically, so I gave up.
Side question: what does HN think in general about scraping data from HTML? There are websites that charge for live sports data, and scraping them seems borderline unethical.
In the US at least, facts can't be protected with copyright, and sports scores & statistics have been judged facts. So you would be OK, and ethical. But avoid scraping/re-sharing anything of added value, like commentary or analysis.
Pinegrow looks awesome. May I ask about what library you used to write it on the Mac? Do you have an embedded HTML renderer, or did you write your own?

That is not quite correct. The average gap between primes gets larger as you move further along the number line. But, you will still get the occasional consecutive odd numbers that are close to one another. In fact, there is an old conjecture (Twin Prime Conjecture[1]) that claims that there are an infinite number of pairs of consecutive primes separated by 2.
PS. I'm not a mathematician (engineer with some decent math background), so I might very well be wrong.
Microsoft sticking to Tegra is an interesting choice. I'm not saying it's bad, but still interesting given the current dynamics of the mobile market.
Now that they have Nokia, I predict that Microsoft will attempt to acquire NVIDIA in order to mimic Apple's and Samsung's vertical strategies. Not sure Jen-Hsun or the board would agree though.
The way I see it, this will directly cannibalize Tegra sales. Up to and including Tegra 4, NVIDIA's mobile GPUs weren't based on their desktop GPU technology. Starting with the next-gen Tegras, they will have a Kepler-based (and later a Maxwell-based) GPU in their mobile SoCs, architected from scratch to be power-efficient. That will be a big deal. Imagine running CUDA apps in the palm of your hand.
But with this step, it seems to me that Tegra will not have any differentiator any more (unless NVIDIA keeps some features to itself). Could NVIDIA be adopting ARM's strategy?
To be fair, NVIDIA tried to sell a couple of products directly to end consumers before. For example they sold a dual tv tuner card a few years ago (http://www.nvidia.com/page/dualtvmce.html), but it didn't go too well and was discontinued. These were always half-hearted attempts at testing the waters. NVIDIA never really put too much effort into it.
You can.
