- timcederman 19y agoYowch. I'm wondering how this can be a good thing...
- lisper 19y agoWell, the data is already available on hacker news, but ye gods! you couldn't figure out a better way to package this up than a separate HTML file for each user?
- petercooper 19y agoIf anyone wants to turn that user data into a CSV of username,age,karma, run this Ruby script in the folder with all the HTML files in it: Dir['*.html'].each do |user_file| user_data = File.read(user_file) user_name = user_file.chomp('.html') age = user_data[/created:<\/td><td>(\d+)/, 1] karma = user_data[/karma:<\/td><td>([\d\-]+)/, 1] puts "#{user_name},#{age},#{karma}" end
