I thought it was Ying and Yang?
- hellofunk 10y agoNope, not Ying. Yin.
- swampthinker 10y agoTIL.
- sika_grr 10y agoDoes nobody on Hacker News watch Silicon Valley? Or are references in comments frowned upon?
- Trundle 10y agoReferences are generally frowned upon, at least when that's all there is to the comment. There is a strong fear here of becoming reddit.
- stagbeetle 10y agoCensor thyself, lest ye cause the plague.
- nebabyte 10y agoUh > comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit [...] a common semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills
- stagbeetle 10y agoIt's a very vague reference and it completely slipped past me the first time reading through. Compare that to something like Szechuan Sauce.
- blowski 10y agoTypically, yes. One of the most frustrating things about Reddit is the neverending cliched references. It's why HN comments are so much higher in quality.
- rimliu 10y ago> It's why HN comments are so much higher in quality. Not always the case. Sometimes just boring. More relaxed attitude on reddit attracts more diverse expressions and sometimes that can be a bad thing, but sometimes it is a good thing.
- Majestic121 10y agoYou're absolutely right, it can be both good and bad. What's great is that since both Reddit and HN exists, there is space for both and no need to compromise on either side : relaxed on Reddit and high quality on HN
- bbctol 10y agoOne might say... yin and yang, my friend, yin and yang.
- jquery 10y agoHacker News prides itself on a higher ratio of signal to noise than other, more popular websites, that will remain nameless.
