Ask HN: Would you take a pill that cures nostalgia (e.g., for retro tech)?
Maybe you'd want to do this because you don't think your nostalgia is a good use of time?
- al_borland 2y agoNo. I’m not sure why I’d want to do anything to erase fond memories.
- ungreased0675 2y agoIs nostalgia bad? Why?
- The-Old-Hacker 2y agoI guess so. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be <sigh>
- anthk 2y ago- BSOD's - ActiveX - Propietary software with opaque terms - Expensive, pirated IDE's - Hard as hell C++ standards with the Win32 API and a crappy cmd.exe against Unix+C+GDB/DDD and Perl for quick hacks. - Advanced Windows users gateekeeping you for anything beyong a basic usage from an OS. From 2001-2002 and GNU/Linux distros, things were far better for experimenting and learning.
