I think the people that read HN is a different demographic from those that submit, and again different from those that comment. If you look at people's profiles you can quite starkly see some are uploaders, some don't upload or comment, some only comment. Having said that, HN is more obnoxious nowadays to me than earlier.
- xedeon 7y ago> HN is more obnoxious nowadays to me than earlier. Yeah... I noticed this recently too. The early days were very enjoyable and insightful. Do you have other alternatives?
- mikorym 7y agohttps://quiethn.com/ https://quiethn.com/ I would maybe prefer something that is linux inspired, but https://www.phoronix.com/ https://www.phoronix.com/ is too wordy for me. Something like https://www.planetizen.com/ https://www.planetizen.com/ is cool for me, but maybe too specific. Suprisingly, Reddit is cool if you choose your subreddits wisely. But apart from that, tbh I think it's probably better to read actual books on topics you find stimulating or maybe something like the Economist.
