Ask HN: HN for non-programmers?
I recently got my girlfriend hooked on HN. She doesn't know how to program, though, so a good chunk of the content on HN is of no interest to her. The other half (non-technical articles+discussions) she thoroughly enjoys.
My question: is there a HN-like website for non-programmers? Something like HN without the clojure/node.js/etc. related articles.
- thinkalone 16y agoWell... reddit? http://reddit.com http://reddit.com
- rgarcia 16y agoI should have been clearer when I said "something like HN": something with a good deal of intellectual curiosity, and something without dick/fart jokes. Perhaps you can recommend a subreddit?
- thinkalone 16y agoI almost added a disclaimer about choosing proper subreddits, but I wanted to make sure you hadn't ruled out reddit for another reason. At the risk of sounding all Eternal September-y, reddit quality has indeed suffered in all main subreddits. What topics interest your girlfriend? I'd be happy to provide subreddit recommendations, or either of you are welcome to send me a PM at reddit - http://www.reddit.com/user/thinkalone/ http://www.reddit.com/user/thinkalone/
