`hnprofile.com` seems a bit creepy. Per-individual "Probable Mood" value, "mood" value on given topic, "Overall Mood Over Time" chart, "Activity per Hour of Day" chart, "Mood per Hour of Day" chart.
It would be good if we could have a place to discuss topics of importance, without others leeching off that to analyze everyone personally. And without having to decide whether we should sanitize, and play to metrics, for the benefit of recruiters for metrics-oriented risk-averse bureaucratic big corps.
Incidentally, apparently I am "Tense discussing racket 8 days ago" (judge for yourself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19835526 ). It also looks like I'm maybe posting during work (I don't). And one of the charts shows punctuated "negative mood" over time. Is this comment one of those negative mood instances?
I suppose hnprofile.com is good, in that it exposes to us some of what others are presumably doing secretly. And maybe that should prompt us to figure out how to improve the situation.
It would be interesting to see which of the FAANG are the "stickiest" in terms of staying on the front page. I've noticed negative stories about a few select tech companies get flagged(?) off the front page very quickly, sometimes disappearing in under an hour, while others stick around for many, many hours. The lack of transparency behind a story's page rank is one of my least favorite parts of HN. There are a few posts out there on the algorithm behind it, but I'm not sure how accurate they are nowadays.
In the last few years I think the amount of "pure" programming related posts on HN has dipped. Out of 30 items on the front page right now, only 4 are explicitly about programming (I'm not including ops/networking).
(This is only gut feeling from being here a long time, no data to back it up.)
The search for "Go" is actually quite inaccurate due to the verb "go" and the game "go". You can see most of the peaks have top stories related to non-language uses of the word.
It seems the effect of other meanings is way less exaggerated for Rust in comparison.

Google seems to be the favourite there.

... changing that to quarterly sure is telling about when those topics are discussed most: https://toddwschneider.com/dashboards/hacker-news-trends/?q=...
I wonder where that spike of "suicide" in Jan'13 was caused by? And the Jan'18 spike in depression? Maybe by the bitcoin burst?
I'm not sure if I'm amazed or simply terrified. Fascinating!

All of them seem to have a downtrend from around 2012.
