I Scraped Hacker News for TLD Popularity

In plain words

This project analyzes domain name popularity by scraping data from Hacker News. It aggregates information about which top-level domains (TLDs) are most frequently discussed on the platform, providing insights into developer and tech community preferences. The tool is designed for anyone interested in internet naming trends, domain statistics, or tech community behavior analysis. It offers a snapshot of real-world domain usage patterns based on what gets shared and discussed among technologists.

  Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

  Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

  BBC “In Our Time”, categorised by Dewey Decimal, heavy lifting by GPT▲688

  I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
