Can you reveal where I rank of the nytimes rows? I'm looking through face palms hoping I'm not the 628 submissions. But it wouldn't surprise me either...it's my daily morning read for over a decade and I've been coming around here for about three years.
Is that an excuse? :)
In my defense, I can't say I've ever had a "First!" urge. I assume it's just because I'm early to rise and on the East Coast.
- jacquesm 17y agoSo much for anonymization then. You're spot on. Kudos :) btw I really liked that one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1075857 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1075857 thanks!
- robg 17y agoBut I knew! So embarrassing...ok, not really. Still...I'll take solace in the fact that it averages out to 1 link every other day. Considering I usually read about 20 stories a morning there, 1/40 ain't so bad. Ugh. Feel free to out me elsewhere...I think I may be boston.com and economist too.
- jacquesm 17y agoErrr, the list is rather (a lot) longer. But don't worry about it, as long as it is on topic no harm done. The problem is with the off-topic stuff that gets submitted like this.
- robg 17y agoWell, I don't know about on-topic, but they were always interesting to me. I take solace in the fact that I've never read valleywag. Did you scrape for the data or it it available somewhere as a download? For a while I've been curious about creating a more interactive approach to my links archive based on the content of each link.
- jacquesm 17y agoI intend to release all the data on HN that I've collected over the last few months, I still plan to write one more article about this (about trending topics) and then I will make all the data available for download as a mysql dump.
- lionhearted 17y ago> Still...I'll take solace in the fact that it averages out to 1 link every other day. No solace need be taken! One post every other day by someone actually reading the paper in depth is a great service to the community. So, thanks and cheers. I come here for my science/tech/business fix and comment, I wish I found more interesting links to submit!
- palish 17y agoDamn. You must read very quickly. Or I spend way too much time in my programming bubble.
- ErrantX 17y agomy first thought was that some of these could well be innocent "click bookmarklet" first thing in the morning.
