  Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. I appreciate your comments about public transit and Zig compile times, so I don't want to ban you, but if you keep this up we're going to have to. It would be good if you'd stop. IMO it's good for diversity to have some Marxists in the mix but not if they're posting things like "Lick the boot harder rightoid". If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

    But perhaps you could deal with the widespread flag brigading of all Trump-critical posts such as the recent one about category theory research defunded? I apologize for my tone but I remain deeply concerned about the current regime, which is supported by many HN-adjacent figures like Paul Graham and Marc Andreessen.

      Yes—except that different people have different ideas of what "deal with" means, so it's not possible to satisfy everyone. I've spent many hours posting about this in the last couple weeks: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20flag&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... A couple recent explanations are https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43019507 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43019507 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43032384 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43032384. Btw, PG has been vociferously anti-Trump for years and as far as I know he hasn't changed.
