This isn't Hacker News material.
- fredley 13y agoIt's a well-executed joke aimed at the Hacker community. I enjoyed it and upvoted it.
- 3pt14159 13y agoIt's a hello world rest app. There is nothing interesting about it at all.
- volume 13y agoFor me I appreciate it from the end result, not the underlying guts of how it works.
- bct 13y agoCalling it a joke is a real stretch. Apparently HN is populated entirely by preteen boys who think that the word "fuck" is hilarious.
- jonahx 13y agoActually, this is the epitome of HN material.
- 3pt14159 13y agoIt is not. Five years ago we didn't have this crap. There is nothing redeemable about this besides it being a hello world rest app.
- barrkel 13y agoAnd if I was still able to flag submissions, I'd flag it.
- cjfont 13y agoAnd why can't you flag it? Is there a quota or something?
- barrkel 13y agoI've lost the ability to flag in the past couple of months, for no reason I can discern. I seldom used it unless I thought the story was very off-topic. Only thing I can think of is accidentally fat-fingering flag on my phone, then a mod revoking my ability in retaliation.
- DanBC 13y agoIf you think this submission is off-topic, and you've flagged other submissions like it, you may have lost your flagging rights. I dislike the way that people say actions are done "in retaliation" or as "retribution" - as I understand it they're largely automated.
- barrkel 13y agoDo you remember the way this site was when it first started out? I've been here a long time, and it's changed. I'm less and less engaged over time. Reddit exists for posts like this one. I used to use 'flag' perhaps 10 times a year. And judging by how mods change post titles, they've clearly - IMHO - drifted into the harmful space.
- DanBC 13y agoHere's a link to the front page for July 2007. (http://web.archive.org/web/20070713212949/http://news.ycombinator.com/ http://web.archive.org/web/20070713212949/http://news.ycombi...) Which on there are particularly good, or particularly bad?
- 3pt14159 13y agoThey raised the bar to something over 5000 karma or something.
- shocks 13y agoVotes decide that, not you.
- toyg 13y agowell, strictly speaking, pg decides that. In the current constitutional arrangement though, he (mostly) delegates his powers to the electorate.
- 3pt14159 13y agoCommunities can hold themselves to standards and people can try to convince each other that those standards are good. It is SUPER telling that the only people that disagree with me have accounts that are younger than mine while the ones that agree with me have accounts that are older than mine.
- 3pt14159 13y agoAnd look at that, it has been flagged and pulled from the homepage.
- TallGuyShort 13y agoNeither are comments like this
- 3pt14159 13y agoI actually agree with you, and normally I don't post them, but this is just so fragrantly not what HN is about and yet it is almost #1.
- johnjhayes 13y agoMy time! It's been wasted! Oh noes!
