News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

You're perfectly right, thanks for clarifying!
Sure, but you cant deny the trend over the last month. This is a funny timing to see the hash rate increase, i.e. more miner joining in, when the halving is 3 only months away
The hash rate represents the total computational power used by the miners to secure the Bitcoin Network. The more miner, the more secure it is but the less it is profitable for them to mine.

For more information about mining, you can refer to this description: https://kaiko.com/learn/mining-blockchain

following the same logic, you should apply for a job at Docker

Sure, but once you're past the 'newest' front page, I doubt that you get any upvote

looking at this stats here might be the wrong approach.

'How to get on the front page of HN?' is basically the same problem as 'How to jump from the 'newest''s section front page to the HN's front page before my post gets replaced by newer posts there?'

To do so, you need to remain long enough on the 'newest''s section front page which happens when there is less 'posting competition'. So if you post around 8-9am EST (see here: [1]), your post will remains longer on the 'newest' front page which gives you more time to gather upvotes. At this time, the competition is such that it is easier to jump on the front page as there are less items posted.

However, this happens right before a lot of traffic pours into the website which ensure you can enjoy a lot of visibility/upvotes once you are on the front page.

The readme presents it as a production-ready jquery alternative but there isn't a single test written and it looks like there's no support at all

same for me - plus it counts only half of my repos...
dealing with documents is a billion dollar feature?
