   HN clone for science▲10

   Hi, I installed that HN clone for all things science. Most likely there are already others out there already, but I thought it's worth a try. Let me know what you think about the idea and what features you would like to see...a search function is on its way...Thanks in advance! http://www.heurekalab.com

    Hacker News without leaving your terminal▲25

    I put this together since I find myself switching away from the terminal to see if anything new popped up in HN. There might be similar ones out there, didn't bother looking. It was a quick experiment, which might end up with a few more features.

    Misfits, a FITS table viewer for the terminal▲5

    Hey any astrophysicist reading hn there? Was sick in august (yeah isn't that nice) and made a small python fits table viewer for the terminal with textual. It would be great to have people try it so if you find any issue I can improve it. If you have no FITS file but would like to try regardless there are some test file in `/test`. Ciao!

    I measured the half-life of 41,301 Show HN launches. It's 7 hours▲37

    I scraped every Show HN from the last 12 months (41,301 posts) plus the full comment tree of every launch with 10+ comments, ~100k comment timestamps, all from the Algolia HN API. The median launch gets 2 points and 0 comments. For launches that do get traction, half the comments they'll ever get arrive within 7.2 hours and 90% within 26, and the top decile decays on the same clock as everyone else. Vote timestamps aren't public, so comment timing is the attention proxy; caveats are in the post. Everything reproduces from the repo with one command…
