clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: I made Google Trends for Hacker News by indexing 18 years of comments
ooh this is sick! really nice ui too!
clacker-o-matic··on Oracle Cloud halving always free resources on the 15th June
oh this is gonna suck so much; i was always seriously amazed that it was free for so long though
clacker-o-matic··on Hacker News front page as a site
oh this is sick; i wonder where the curly bits at the top and bottom came from; based on the svg artifacts it looks converted from a raster
clacker-o-matic··on Apparently Google hates us now
oof that sucks; i really wish there was more info on why google decides to crawl or not crawl a page
clacker-o-matic··on Breaking macOS Screen Time for fun and profit
Halo!

I got bored yesterday and decided to have a bit of fun reverse engineering Screen Time on macOS. Learned quite a bit about how the system works under the hood. I utilized Claude for some of the research, experimenting with running multiple agents in parallel, and ended up finally hitting my max rate limit window lol. Twas a fun project!

clacker-o-matic··on Gpg.fail
its back up!
clacker-o-matic··on You can't cURL a Border
that was fascinating; I didn’t realize border requirements were that complicated.
clacker-o-matic··on Hacking to #1 spot on billboard 100
that’s hilarious; best of luck!
clacker-o-matic··on Amp Free
this is neat; not sure how sustainable it can really be but won't say no to free tokens
clacker-o-matic··on Ocean-2: wave based power generation [video]
this has got to be one of the coolest power generation things i've seen recently; just from the fact that it bobs up and down and looks so insanely interesting. really curious what the power output of this test was though
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Sodalite – Open Source Anonymous Media Downloader
oooh yay! you launched it! i particularly love that you allow selecting media quality :)
clacker-o-matic··on SSHTron: A multiplayer lightcycle game that runs through SSH
Hack Club is amazing! I've gotten so many amazing opportunities to build stuff and help out with events. I got to build and run waka.hackclub.com (selfhosted wakatime backend) and at its peak we got over 21 thousand kids tracking over a quarter million hours in the software i built. Crazy experience. Getting to talk and interact with other techy teens is the best part about it though; we have a massive slack which generates the best techy conversations I typically have on a day to day basis.

clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
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 :)

yeah i only made an account and started commenting here a bit ago; i've been silently reading for far longer
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
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
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
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 :)
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
its highest out of the current data from the front page
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
oh hmm; the website is running off a tilde server I share with 500 ish other kids so something might have gotten flagged
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
I’m curious what specifically tiped you off; i know that border on the cards is pretty indicative of claude but curious what else
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
Honestly nothing, i really made it to scratch an itch lol
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
Thanks!!! My sleep addled brain couldn’t quite figure it out last night

Lol fair; i used this project as a bit of a playground for zed agent mode. My conclusion is that its okayish for ui but generally terrible at responsive design and really bad at db queries. I had to fix most of the ui since it would just flat out not work on mobile
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
I honestly cant believe it lol; first project of mine to make it
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
Oooh that has some nice graphs
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
Thats my guess; also survivorship bias. Those that make it have to show quick promise early on in order to hit the front page
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
Yeah it would probably be better to phrase it that way
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
Ooh! Id love to talk!
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
Oooh thats awesome
clacker-o-matic··on Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data
That’s a good idea; shouldn’t be terribly hard to implement
