Originally I had Twitter support, but they changed the API around and it ended up not working any more, see the project blog for more info: https://blog.trendbowl.app/

The Pro subscription to the API now seems to be $5000 per month!

My current project is TrendBowl (https://www.trendbowl.app) which summarises trending entities across multiple sources on the web, including Mastodon and Wikipedia. On a 24 hour basis you can see which terms are relevant in different languages and sites.

It is implemented in Go, Python and JS, with support from Postgres, TimescaleDB and Kubernetes.

Someone should make a collection of the various visualization web projects that crop up here from time to time.

More like the bug list!

Shameless plug: you might want to accompany a book with explained animations of Algorithms and Data Structures: https://www.chrislaux.com

That's what I meant... hash both versions when logging in.

So they hash both versions of the password? Or how does this work?

Thanks feiss and everyone here for the kind words, they keep me motivated to create more content...

I mainly used svg.js which animates SVG as part of an HTML5 document. Other than that the site is static with a lot of custom JS.

Is this going to be world-wide or US-only? The former will probably mean a lot of legal hassle, but it would be nice to be able to participate from elsewhere in the world...

Why don't you weight votes by age of the account? That would make the "old HN" more influential in the current one.

So shouldn't the electron density be a sphere? It has this strange ring around outside...

The "best match" ranking does not take time into account, but if you choose "newest first" that is the main criterion.

ok, that results page really is messy. The crawler does actually do language detection, but it isn't perfect. Soto currently only offers search in English actually.

Well to be honest we currently lack distinctive features, we're hoping to learn what users want and add that in the coming weeks...

Thanks for the feedback. To answer some of your questions, soto searches within blogs, using the existence of syndication feeds as the criterion. We are currently still growing the base of blogs so naturally not all are included. I'll make sure to add some documentation.

Can't stand that pink for very long :(

Smashing the glass doesn't prevent DNA collection.

That service working without the recipient changing his settings is by definition a security hole in the email app.

Well in some fields every individual worker has their own business pro forma. So these would be harmed disproportionately by cheap immigrant competition. The capital requirement ensures that the new business is in competition with substantial existing companies.

He doesn't stoop down to such slogans.

I'd venture it's not commerce but commercialisation he's opposed to.

strangely fitting for an artist who normally operates in the grey areas of legality

I think the opening is a statement about how the art is taken out of the modern simpsons by the way they are produced. The links in the opening are the asian workers and the sadness in their depiction. This fits with banksys regular theme about the value of art and its opposition to commerce. Subtle enough?

From wikipedia: "Unlike most theorems in geometry, this result depends in a critical way on the axiom of choice". By "taking" the AoC the figure ended up making two pumpkins. Not really funny at all, I'm afraid.
