   If you are interested in profiling in Python we are working on new profiler https://github.com/vmprof/vmprof-python . which by design is created to work with PyPy as well.

   I'm working on the new alg. to extract location. Next "Who is hiring?" should be way more precise.

   thanks for the report. Location extraction algorithm is not perfect. Will try to make it better over time.

   I think you are right. It's pretty hard. I'm using NER approach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named-entity_recognition There is a room for improvements.

    Thanks. Finding locations is not perfect, I'm aware. I will try to come up with something more accurate before next "Who is hiring?"

    I'm aware of its existence. Even asked a question about license. No response yet. As for location algorithm. It looks less robust than what I'm using right now. Although I might be wrong. Haven't tested since can't use i

    There is a note here http://whoishiring.it/#!/add/ about suggested format. Although "Who is hiring?" has its own tradition and flexibility. So formant shouldn't be enforced be some tool that maps jo

    Thanks for the feedback ad 1. Yes, I think you right about the this being a bit confusing. Although I'm not sure if scrolling to bottom, would be ideal as well. Although I will try to test your suggestion. Maybe will feel right. ad. 2.

    Thanks for the feedback so far. It looks like the biggest issue is guessing locations. I have few ideas how to improve it, although fixing it may be hard. Number of possible formats is huge, and event then the same format could be two diffe

    Thanks. I doesn't, I don't think I know how to handle them right now. The number of possible formats for locations that people use is already huge. Trying to figure how to split them may be hard to solve.

    Thanks for the feedback. The fist issues sums as the clustering algorithm, which currently is not prefect. Current clustering works on a grid. So it's possible to have two close dots not being clustered, because are leaving in the diff

    Ok It looks like this is the biggest issue, I mean guessing locations. This might be hard, I'm using named entity recognition approach, although even with this is not that perfect. Also Is really common to put more than one location, i

    Thanks for this. I will fix it. This may happen. I was trying hard to get the all the locations right, although number of formats used may confused things. Although here Python was recognised as Location, and came before the real Location.

    To be honest this didn't cross my mind. But true, I should do something about it.

    As you mention. We have ongoing branch for a implementation of HippyVM-Python bridge. We are hoping to achieve the goal that you described, though we are not sure if this will the last of first step on this path.

    Agreed. We working hard to be as close to Zend as possible, though we are not there yet. You can try "translate" and run HippyVM against php-src suite. "Basic" PHP compatibility was achieved which means that most of the

    HackerNews ranking algorithm works in the really odd way. How this happened that after few secs this went down from #1 having more than 200 votes. Is it an algorithm after all?
