Ask codegolf.stackexchange.com, there's probably a Mathematica one-liner to display a globe with colour-coded areas.
I never understood the purpose of languages with unicode operators that can supposedly express a 30 line script in like 2 symbols. Are they purpose built on the spot for CodeGolf?
I doubt Mathematica is built for code golf. Check out Burlesque (which is ASCII).

#283Team Ireland ftw! 9 people isn’t bad for a small island.
It's easy to forget we're only as populous as a medium-size city. Ireland punches above its weight in soft power and influence, really.

Yeah, would depend on how long it'll be featured on the frontpage page indeed. I know people who only check the /best page once a week or something like that too who would probably miss this unless a ton of people upvote it. Or maybe we can ask @dang to give it a "jobstory" treatment so it keeps around the frontpage for longer?
I mean dang could probably just tell us the actual geo breakdown of users...
And if someone knows a little bit of statistics and someone else knows a little bit about browsing patterns relative to timezones around the world, then we can correct for front page decay.

#285so that tweet was right, eh? at the time of this writing, I'm seeing: California 274 Canada 137 Germany 127 UK 116 New York 110 Washington 104 ... So yeah, "Silicon Valley".
I don't think that's super conclusive. As others have mentioned, Californians are awake and during their workday right now, other timezones may be sleeping, and some might not see the post at all because they tend do read HN less on the weekend, for example. I would not be surprised at all if California has a big share, but I don't think this poll is a sure enough way to gauge that. It would have been more insightful…

True. This poll may have been better posted on any other weekday.

Current top 10: 'US: California' '79 points' 'Canada' '48 points' 'US: Washington' '39 points' 'US: New York' '36 points' 'Germany' '35 points' 'United Kingdom' '34 points' 'US: Massachusetts' '19 points' 'Netherlands' '18 points' 'US: Colorado' '17 points' 'Sweden' '16 points' Colorado #9? Really?
Denver and Boulder have a good amount of tech. A bit surprised it comes out ahead of Texas though. Also the UK and Germany being about the same is interesting. Germany does have a slightly larger population, but of course the UK is natively English speaking.
There is an admittedly surprising amount of tech work here (CO). I moved here from Chicago nearly a decade ago for a startup job (not telecommunications, ad tech or government related), and have found that the marketplace for tech jobs has grown heavily since then.
Also, given the new(ish) move to remote work that many firms nationally have begun to embrace there is also a strong showing here of people that work in Colorado, but for firms located elsewhere. This is my personal current situation, and I work with a guy who is moving here from the midwest in a couple months to work 100% remote. It's more and more common.

Nice :) What library did you use for the graphics?

#288HN is easily one of my favourite websites. I get to learn from interesting posts and smart comments from people all around the world, then bring this knowledge into my work and life.
Thank you.

Re: Poll: Where do you live?
#290I hope there is someone who knows how to code in this community to parse the results and do a nice visualization. I have a cousin who knows about computers, if noone knows here how to do it, I can ask him to try. He always helps me with my printer.
