Malwarebytes warned me about this site. Website blocked due to riskware. IP 37.27.51.34 port 443 Firefox error reported as Problem Loading Page: >SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG Could be my machine. I'm on Win7Pro with FF 115.24.0 so old and out of date here.

the firefox error is also caused by malwarebytes blocking.

> Highest Points 461 Most upvoted story Not sure that's accurate. If you look at just yesterday, you have this story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44163063 Which has over 2200 points.

its highest out of the current data from the front page

The problem with analyzing HN comment and submission voting is we don't (AFAIK) have access to downvotes and that changes everything. We used to know the net votes for comments but that was removed years ago. Only submissions have net votes. But what you find is that position matters, both for submissions and comments. There's a world of difference between being on the front page or not and being on the first page of…

thats some amazing feedback! i'll try to implement that tonight. Agree with you on the scrolling for sure; I know the people that made the website so i'll pass that on to them :)

I'm also collecting this data, and it allows rendering beautiful heatmaps like here: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/59020 Try: ssh play@play.clickhouse.com SELECT id, max(score) AS s, max(descendants), argMax(title, update_time), arrayStringConcat(arrayMap(x -> format('\x1b[38;2;{0};{1};{2}m\xE2\x96\x88\x1b[0m', least(greatest(sqrt(x / 10) * 255, 0), 255)::UInt8::String, least(greatest(sqrt((x - 10)…

i'm actually pretty sure I remember you from a few months back. didn't you post this then? if not i might have seen it in a comment or smthing

Looking at the charts they all seem to take off. To me that begs the question, do they take off because they hit the front-page and get all the attention, or are some of them bought upvotes like on Reddit?

I've yet to see anyone selling HN upvotes on the usual dubious forums like BHW. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I don't believe there is any commercial service being advertised.

It's likely I've posted a link to playground before, https://play.clickhouse.com/ but it's unlikely I've posted a way to connect to it with ssh and this particular query.

Feel free to share if you like!

took me 3 days but I got all of that implemented! the graph for raw score was more to see rate of score vs position on the page but upvotes gained kinda makes sense (probably not going to change for now since I love the pretty slopes). I spent quite a while tweaking all the colors to meet or exceed the webaim accessibility contrast ratios so hopefully thats better :)
