RUBY/GO/JAVA/JAVASCRIPT/PYTHON/RUST/ERLANG https://toddwschneider.com/dashboards/hacker-news-trends/?q=... All of them seem to have a downtrend from around 2012.

Well, except Go and Rust.

The 2nd and 3rd top "Go" posts weren't even about Go the language. They were just posts with the word go in the title.

This guy has a ton of interesting posts: https://toddwschneider.com/ For those who wish to compare trends (across all of HN not just the front page), a demo of my companies product is here: https://hnprofile.com/compare?search=TensorFlow,PyTorch,Kera... You can also identify experts on any topic: https://hnprofile.com/

`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.

FAANG https://toddwschneider.com/dashboards/hacker-news-trends/?q=... Google seems to be the favourite there.

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.
