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.

Reddit just "recommended" me a community about the city of Bari, which I googled on Google Images yesterday for the first time in my life. How did it know?
What's the issue with Firefox's implementation? And this doesn't change the fact that HTTPSe is literally fully sunset.

New Release: Tor Browser 11.5
Here's a small historical curiosity: In HTTPS Everywhere, the functionality used to be call "Block all HTTP requests" but when that functionality was changed (back in 2016 [0]) to not block connections to non-HTTPS hidden services, it was renamed to "Block all unencrypted requests".
I just checked, and indeed Tor Browser 11.5 does not block non-HTTPS connections to hidden services, even when in "HTTPS-Only" mode. Thankfully.

When people ask me why I use Vanced...
HTTPS Everywhere is discontinued by its creator and will be removed completely next year, because every major browser includes the functionality already anyways.
