   Buy an Arduino and hack on it! It will open a lot of mental doors for you. If you're not down with electrical engineering, just start a web project. I've found the easiest way to learn is to do.

   I agree, but I would replace anarchy with chaos. Anarchy != chaos

   That is a very tall claim :) Thanks though, I'll read the code!

   What gives 4chan a sense of community? I agree, just wondering.

   Interesting thought. How would you implement that in an algorithm? Maybe a Bayesian filter?

   Ragefaces are one of my favorite parts of Internet culture, and I did think about it before I inserted them into the post. I think they give it a certain feeling, that this is an experiment and I'm playing around. I've tried to take the goo

   Thanks! I spent a couple of days on the article and was pretty nervous having not written anything but specs in a year or two. I also am starting to find the colors cluttering, mostly because they're the first thing my eyes are drawn to on

   I'm using MD5 for the hash, so I believe that makes it surjective? I could be very wrong though. Salting by the post ID is a very good idea. I might implement that tonight!

   The threads are ordered by if they are sticky and then the most recent item. I've looked into ("chan"?) text boards, but they're all in PHP and usually in some huge file with no separation of concerns.

    That's totally fine. I'm only intending this to be an experiment, and honestly something to hack on in my spare time. I'm curious though, what would compel you to return?

    If you guys have any feedback on the site or my writing, I'd love to hear!

    This is just a single process on a Joyent SmartMachine. It's the first time I've used them and I've been pleased!

    Correct.

    Thanks! I really hate spammers :\

    I patched up the ones that were apparent, but I'm sure there's still some open.

    I added a limit of 15 posts per minute for now

    Also I had to upgrade my RAM pretty fast haha. Should be better now.

    I'll take that as a compliment haha.

    Doing this right now!

    by ecto 14y ago

    I think I might! The code is still kind of gnarly right now but I'll clean it up this week and decide then.

    I fixed that actually. You can still get around my fix but I will fix the fix later.

    I actually got tricked by that too haha. I went into the database and deleted that, and pushed a fix to production.

    Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing it!

    This is just on a small Joyent server, running one process. I started it Friday night so there's still a few holes.

    Hey, good work! I did this like a year ago. https://github.com/ecto/memify.me
