Odd. The GEO FW rule was disabled, but I don't know how long it may take for CF to react. Are you able to connect through a proxy/vpn from another country? I'm fairly sure you've lost interest at this point, but if you got time to kill, I'd love to "debug" this and see what's up.

Worked for me - you can try this too, it will show screenshots too: https://geopeeker.com/

Strange. It only works for some parts of the world, then.

In a way. The convention is that 0123 is "123" in octal.

Yes, I know that's why I even tried it in console as I was a bit surprised that parseInt doesn't do octal.

Why does js even support octal? I never found octal particularly useful. Speak hexadecimal or die

But not interesting.

Nobody is stopping anyone from providing that feedback through mail, so still no need for comments.

Ok, since this is getting attention, I'll explain. Launch HN posts for YC startups are one of three formal things that HN does for YC ( https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... ). The others are job ads for YC startups, and orange usernames for YC alumni—but only when displayed to other YC alumni, which always generates "why is my username not orange" emails. But I digress. Launch HNs are like…

Possibly the most interesting test post I've seen in a long time, thank you. I suspect the "current circumstances" worked against you here - you have no idea how bored Europe was by 10am.

I'll use this as an opportunity to ask something. Are there any stats how many active users does HN have, on how many servers it runs, on which database etc.? Because I have recently wanted to look at my older saved/upvoted posts/comments on reddit and found out that you can look only at last 1000 posts and it does various other things to save resources. HN doesn't seem to do things like that and still feels much sna…

Reddit is a hundred times bigger. It's not just that we aren't in their league...our league is not in their league. So the comparison is a little embarrassing. It's hard to count active users because you have to define them in order to count them, and we make a point of not tracking people that much. We can count accounts and unique IPs, and that's about it. But it's basically about 5M readers a month, give or take,…

Sounds like the size of a large sub reddit.

Job ads in the "who is hiring" threads generally only attract comments of one of a few types: "I applied to this place and they never got back to me" "Thanks, I applied" "Please add salary/remoteness/interview process to your job ad" "You have a typo in your text/email address/website URL"

The latter two comments seem pretty useful feedback though

number 1 is pretty useful feedback for me, if they don't respond to people who apply I don't intend to take time to make a good cover letter and adapt my CV to highlight how I would be a good fit for the job.

Because C does.

I don't understand why you're downvoting me when you're ostensibly making the same point I was. Did you actually read my comment to the end or just made the assumption I'm wrong because I replied to dang? Because I was actually agreeing with him for the most part.
