Generally (not talking about this particular article) I'm fairly certain a similar interpretation was recently defended by dang.
And I'd add: I was happy to see dang chime in on that one. Too often have I seen extremely important and interesting topics flagged of the front page by what I imagine is users who hasn't read the guidelines carefully enough.
- wccrawford 6y agoIt's sad to me because it's turning into another generic social media site, instead of somewhere that I go for tech-y news. And this was my last remaining source for that.
- eitland 6y agoTry lobste.rs, I'm there as well and it is more purely technical and possibly even nicer. You don't have to choose, you can get both :-)
- wccrawford 6y agoThanks! I'll check it out. And yeah, I won't quit HN until it becomes more noise than signal. I'm just sad that it seems to be going that way, like the other sites I used to frequent that I can't even remember the names of now. sigh Edit: Oh jeez, can't even sign up for an account unless you're the networking/social type. That's rough.
