This guy has a ton of interesting posts: https://toddwschneider.com/ https://toddwschneider.com/ For those who wish to compare trends (across all of HN not just the front page), a demo of my companies product is here: https://hnprofile.com/compare?search=TensorFlow,PyTorch,Keras https://hnprofile.com/compare?search=TensorFlow,PyTorch,Kera... You can also identify experts on any topic: https://hnprofile.com/ https://hnprofile.com/

`hnprofile.com` seems a bit creepy. Per-individual "Probable Mood" value, "mood" value on given topic, "Overall Mood Over Time" chart, "Activity per Hour of Day" chart, "Mood per Hour of Day" chart. It would be good if we could have a place to discuss topics of importance, without others leeching off that to analyze everyone personally. And without having to decide whether we should sanitize, and play to metrics, for the benefit of recruiters for metrics-oriented risk-averse bureaucratic big corps. Incidentally, apparently I am "Tense discussing racket 8 days ago" (judge for yourself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19835526 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19835526 ). It also looks like I'm maybe posting during work (I don't). And one of the charts shows punctuated "negative mood" over time. Is this comment one of those negative mood instances? I suppose hnprofile.com is good, in that it exposes to us some of what others are presumably doing secretly. And maybe that should prompt us to figure out how to improve the situation.

  That site is the reason I no longer maintain a regular profile, or attempt to garner karma. It's the point at which I realized HN doesn't permit any active control over prior activity. Based on that, you have 60 minutes to give each post some thought. If your user name is associated with your real name, and you might have any reason to regret your statement, past, present or future, think fast! This shit will ruin your life.

  I had logged out of every social network except this one. After seeing hnprofile.com, I'll be doing the same here (it's a great wake-up call, thank you OP!). Ignore the rest of this paragraph. I feel really happy. And confused. And I'm exhilarated. Am I hungry? (some filler to try and trick the mood algos). Ok, back. I've noticed that by logging out (and going through the hassle of logging in if you really "need" to - I truly hate password recovery processes) you can train yourself out of the habit of having to have your say about every stupid topic on the internet. Weirder still, I've noticed it stops me from injecting boring opinions in my real-world conversations too!

  Given how superficial its results are for me, and how for the subjects I searched for it missed several very obvious 'experts', I'm not very concerned.
