Doc Edward Morbius ⭕OK, current stats are 63.5% of posts classified, with 29.8% of sites classified, a/k/a the old 65/30 rule. The mean posts per unclassified site is 1.765, so my returns for further classification will be ... small.Full breakdown:<pre><code> 4 20 14 19 13 18 23 17 32 16 37 15 48 14 55 13 96 12 120 11 122 10 168 9 247 8 315 7 396 6 622 5 1052 4 2016 3 5103 2 26494 1 </code></pre>A ... large number of sites w/ <= 20 posts are actually classified, mostly by regexp rules & patterns. Oh, hey, I can dump that breakdown as well:<pre><code> 35 20 27 19 47 18 31 17 33 16 41 15 51 14 45 13 42 12 29 11 46 10 46 9 47 8 91 7 138 6 178 5 269 4 524 3 1624 2 11472 1 </code></pre>I could pick just under 4% more posts by classifying another 564 sites but ... that sounds a bit too much like work at the moment. Compromises and trade-offs.Now to try to turn this into an analysis over time.I've been working with a summary of activity by site, so running analysis has been pretty quick (52k records and gawk running over that).To do full date analysis requires reading nearly 180k records, and ... hopefully not having to loop through 52k sites for each of those. Gawk's runtimes start to asplode when running tens of millions of loop iterations, especially if regexes are involved.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/HackerNewsAnalytics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HackerNewsAnalytics</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/HackerNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HackerNews</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/awk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#awk</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DataAnalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataAnalysis</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MediaAnalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MediaAnalysis</a>

Doc Edward Morbius ⭕How Much Colorado Love? Or a 16-year Hacker News Front Page analyticsI've pulled 5,939 front pages from Hacker News, dating from 20 February 2007 to 25 May 2023, initially to answer the question "how often is Colorado mentioned on the front page?" (38 times, 5th most frequent US state). This also affords the opportunity to ask and answer other questions.Preliminary report: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36098749" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36098749</a><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/HackerNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HackerNews</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/dataAnalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dataAnalysis</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/wget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wget</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/awk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#awk</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#media</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/colorado" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colorado</a>

ken<a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Introduction</a>Hi, I’m Ken, I’ve been on the Fediverse for a couple of weeks now. It seemed silly to introduce myself to nobody when I first started this instance, although I did fill in my <a href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/users/ken" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">bio</a>. I’m a <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/writer" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> from England who joined the Fediverse to publicise my work and maybe try to <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/getfedihired" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#getfedihired</a>. I’m still feeling my way around the social aspects of this though, I don’t just want to use this as an advertising platform.Looking back over my statuses for the first fortnight, so far I’ve mostly boosted things I found funny or beautiful. I replied to a few other posts including some responses to <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/sillycuratorprompts" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SillyCuratorPrompts</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/designchallenge" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DesignChallenge</a> – two drawings and a silly poem. And early on I posted another poem, largely to push past the anxiety I felt about the whole social media thing. The last thing I put up was some photos of spring flowers.I already have a blog at <a href="https://kenhutton.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://kenhutton.uk</a> or <a href="https://kenhutton.uk/atom" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://kenhutton.uk/atom</a> for your rss/atom reader. You can find more information about my book ‘Social card games’ there if you’re interested and I plan to post some stories and poems there soon, perhaps some essays too. No promises about when though, as I’m job hunting right now and not putting pressure on myself to do too much else. <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/writing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/poems" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poems</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/poetry" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/bookdesign" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookdesign</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/typography" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#typography</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/cardgames" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cardgames</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/ttrpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/wargame" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wargame</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/crochet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/knitting" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/tunisiancrochet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tunisiancrochet</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/woodwork" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodwork</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/dorset" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dorset</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/walking" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#walking</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/gawk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/guix" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guix</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/tex" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TeX</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/publishing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#publishing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/design" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#design</a>
