- partyguy 7y agoHappy New Year 2020!!
- arnay07 7y agoHappy new year 2020!!
- rch 7y agoSo... What questions are you asking yourself?
- Tabzz98 7y agoWhy do we celebrate surviving for yet another year without celebrating all the steps we took during the year towards prolonging human lifespans? There should be a global medical/scientific conference to recap or something.
- terminaljunkid 7y agomy resolution for this 2019 is stopping making off by one errors..
- furgooswft13 7y agoWhen did everyone go to sleep last night in local time? I passed out around 9pm. I normally stay up a little later but ordered delivery and drank more than usual (recently at least, new years resolution now) so yea....
- borski 7y ago5am local time. My family is Russian, so New Year's is our great big holiday when the whole family gets together and celebrates. If you have no idea why, there's a really interesting thread here (and the article on AO linked from it) that explains it pretty well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21877419 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21877419
- drivers99 7y agoStayed up til 2am watching YouTube (stuff from the author of Ultralearning mostly) and then got woken up by my 7:30am weekday alarm which doesn’t care if it’s a holiday, and I forgot to turn off.
- nikhizzle 7y agoI normally try and sleep by 7pm. But last night I stayed up super late until 10pm and played video games to celebrate. Both vices I normally don’t make time for. Happy New Year everyone!!!!
- grenoire 7y agoI think I came back home around 5-6 AM; rough.

- mkagenius 7y agoCouldn't sleep because of noise from nearby pub or something, people singing old hindi songs just because they have to. Stuff like "gimme some sunshine gimme some rain, and then Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge". You might not know these songs, but I hope you understand my annoyance.
- brlewis 7y agoI had intended not to stay up, but after spending all day hacking I found myself watching a movie until after 1am as my brain cooled down.
- yboris 7y agoHad a quiet evening with my wife watching anime (we're in our 30s). I spent about 30 minutes sending (personalized) texts to people I want to keep in touch with in the future -- wishing them the best wishes for 2020. Went to sleep before 1am. I loved it.
- yboris 7y agoPS - Nichijou (anime) is amazing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2li04wn7U4k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2li04wn7U4k
- jpindar 7y agoStayed up til after 3am because I was running a virtual fireworks show in an Open Simulator world, and they all run on Pacific time. This might be my last one, because TBH I'm getting tired of Open Sim, it's a dead end.
- bransonf 7y agoI really wish simulated worlds would pick up. They’re just such a cool idea. And now we have VR!
- jpindar 7y agoOh, I think there's potential for virtual worlds, just not the SL/OS type. Something more like Sansar or Sinespace could still catch on. Or better yet, something that can run in a browser.
- 01acheru 7y ago9:30am... dinner with friends ended at 2am then I went to meet my cousin in the city center, from there I went away with a friend of hers only to find a dear friend of mine on the way, the three of us then went to a clubkindofthing where I casually met my younger brother and we stood outside talking and freezing until late/early... then the four of us went to take a cup of tea and something to eat for breakfast and parted ways happy 2020 HN people!
- Havoc 7y agoAround 2am. Good times on dance floor. Well those that didn't succumb to the sketch food first 22h00 to 11h30 was brutal though. Lull post dinner and everyone was just waiting
- newjobseeker 7y ago3am local time. Had champagne cheers and chocolate and just chatted with my partner about how this past year went.
- tkumarb 7y agoVery very happy new year. Can not imagine going to bed with out skimming HN each each night, just missed yesterday and was in bed at about 1 am
- highhedgehog 7y ago1.30am. First New Year's Eve home with my wife. Opened a bottle at 00:00, drank wine, smoked a little and fell asleep soon after starting Total Recall! So far, best NYE ever :D
- ddevault 7y agoHappy new decade! Copied this from my Mastodon post: Big picture, in the next decade, I would like to see: 1. Federated free software services become the dominant platform for social media and messaging. 2. A more privacy-oriented and cryptographically-literate public, and simple, standard free software tools anyone can leverage for this purpose. 3. Open hardware, especially RISC-V, becoming the dominant approach for new hardware development. 4. Recapturing the mobile market from proprietary walled gardens, instead favoring models which put the user in control of their devices (e.g. pmOS). 5. Average (read: non-SV CEO) technologists becoming more politically engaged, including running for and winning offices, and using political will to reinforce the above and start making a difference outside of tech
- MrGilbert 7y ago> Happy new decade! HN wouldn't be HN if I'd let this stand uncommented, so... The decade actually runs from 2011-2020. But yes, the 20s have finally started. Anyways, Happy New Year! ;)
- ddevault 7y agoPretty sick of hearing this one, it doesn't make any sense. According to who? How about the billions of people celebrating the new decade? It just seems like the rallying cry of buzzkills. Edit: dear god, it was rhetorical, please stop explaining it. Construct a system in which everyone is correct by making the 0th or 1st year undefined until additional context is established, then use it to stop being a pedant. https://xkcd.com/2249 https://xkcd.com/2249
- frogger23123 7y agoAccording to decimal numbers. 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc.
- ddevault 7y agoYou could argue 0-9, 10-19, 11-20 as an equally vaild grouping.
