Hacker News Rankings. Graphs of HN Posts Rankings
I recognise the huge amounts of effort involved in this and I applaud the moderators for keeping HN an interesting place to be.
That said, I think it's reasonable for us to have visibility on their manual interventions, and this could be easily surfaced via the Hacker News API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API), if the Story JSON included the values of "contro," "bury," and "gag" fields, which are currently opaque to users of the API
See https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking... for more discussion on terminology

Hacker News Stats: 2007–2022
Google probably stopped updating BigQuery when they started hosting live Hacker News data in Firebase: https://github.com/HackerNews/API
The live nature of the Firebase data is awesome, but the lack of ability to query is a loss.

Show HN: Tech Jobs on the Command Line
Nice work! I did something similar with a personal project a few months ago using an open source llm. Also, not sure if you know, there is an api you can use. https://github.com/HackerNews/API

Show HN: New Hacker News posts and comments in realtime
Hi HN, I made a live feed for viewing all of the new items on Hacker News in almost-realtime. It is a single, modern HTML file that doesn't use polling.
It works by establishing a websocket connection to the Hacker News Firebase database, to receive updates every time the HN server updates Firebase, which is about once every 30 seconds. This is very efficient, putting no load on HN's server and using minimal bandwidth.
To make the feed continuous despite the delay, it waits to display each item until exactly 30 seconds before displaying it. I think this is a fair tradeoff, it gives you a sense of how active HN is. For comparision, there are something like 6-7 thousand tweets every second.

Has Hacker News stopped uploading its dataset in 2022?
You can now get Hacker News data in real time from the Hacker News API powered by Firebase: https://github.com/HackerNews/API
This is great (real time!), but also kind of a pain (38+ millions individual http requests to get the whole thing).
Thankfully there's no authentication or apparent rate limiting. I fumbled my way through downloading the whole thing with curl. I screwed up a few times so made over 70 million requests in total.

Ask HN: How do I find my most popular HN posts?
Get your submissions from this API
https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/user/ohjeez.json?print...
and then scan the "submitted" articles as described here
https://github.com/HackerNews/API
I have a crawler that sucks down all the posts from HN and then I read it into Pandas and write all sorts of queries. The boggle I have now is that I want to use the same system to (1) make sure YOShInOn never submits duplicate articles, and (2) have accurate vote and comment scores. (1) requires picking up articles as soon as possible, (2) requires waiting two weeks or so until the scores have settled down to what they are going to be. I guess I gotta come back and rescan things in 2 weeks so I have the right scores.

Launch HN: Glide (YC W19) – AI-assisted technical design docs
Was able to try out Glide last night (https://glide.agenticlabs.com/task/IqHd0RV) with an open source repo (https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs) and really liked it
Pros: it was kinda easy to get started, and Glide was able to figure out something that ChatGPT hadn't, which made a big difference, because I was about to have to rewrite a bunch of code otherwise
Cons: some things were not very intuitive, the chatting window is small and it's hard to copy text and read things in a slightly longer conversation - also wish it would just ingest the repo and figure out what to include in the context by itself, the method/section searching/selecting is tricky to use
All in all I'm very excited about what Glide can do and look forward to seeing its evolution
Thank you for building such amazing tool

Ask HN: Hosting a CLI Tool via SSH?
Hi HN! I recently built a cli tool that uses AI to find job matches for software engineers (https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs)
Someone on HN suggested (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=azophy_2) I should host the application via SSH, so that anyone could just do: ssh commandjobs.com
I thought that was super cool, but after doing some googling, I can't find any good resources on how to host command line applications via ssh
Would really appreciate any links or information you could provide on how to do it
Thank you
