Merry Christmas to HN
Hello HN,
I become active Hacker news at the start of year, its been incredible journey so far. I have learn so many things from computer science to psychology to economics etc. Thanks for all the contribution and best of luck for future. Happy Holidays.
- tfb 12y agoMerry Christmas, everyone. I tend to lurk a lot, but this is one of the few programming communities where I don't expect to be met with negativity and condescension every time I post something. And beyond that, just reading everyone's discussions has easily helped shape me into the person I am today. Thanks for the past few years and many more to come!
- onedev 12y agoYou must be new here. Wait until the negativity and condescension kicks in.
- MrBra 12y agoIf there is some of those, it's still at a dramatically lower rate than from any other boards that I've been looking at. This is refreshing and always good for the mind, scientific or not that it might be.
- bob917 12y agoMay you all be blessed with the sweet virgin juices of Mary, Joseph, and their 7 reindeer.
- thameera 12y agoසුභ නත්තලක්!
- jobposter1234 12y agoAnd a jolly Festivus to the Restuvus!
- kordless 12y agoHave a wonderful fleas on my dog!
- yzzxy 12y agoThis seems as good a place as any to point this out: take a look at the numbers on the frontpage.
- freshyill 12y agoAll I want for Christmas is the three lines of CSS it would take to make HN responsive. If that's not possible, I'll take world peace instead.
- krat0sprakhar 12y agoThis is up for contention but I'm not sure it takes just 3 lines of CSS to a make a table heavy layout responsive :D
- freshyill 12y agoIs is actually tables? I haven't actually looked at the source, but I imagine that tearing out all the templates and styles, and redoing roughly the same design can't be more than a day or two's worth of work. Maybe there's a fear that if it got too pretty, they might start to attract the wrong crowd?
- srcreigh 12y agoHN hasn't always had an API, so they didn't want to change the HTML because it would break the apps that rely on scraping the markup to get the content.

- gpfault 12y agoI'd like collapsible comments more :)
- bombtrack 12y agoThere's several extensions folks have written to add layers of functionality to HN -- collapsible comments being a major one. I use HN Enhancement Suite: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhancement-s/bappiabcodbpphnojdiaddhnilfnjmpm?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...

- mrwnmonm 12y agoexplain :)
- hundunpao 12y agoJavascript [45, 69, 82, 82, 89, 0, 35, 72, 82, 73, 83, 84, 77, 65, 83, 1].map(function(x){ return String.fromCharCode(x +32)}).join('')
- krat0sprakhar 12y agoCopy-paste in your browser console - // Merry Christmas console.log( [45,69,82,82,89,0,35,72,82,73,83,84,77,65,83,1] .map(function(i) { return i + 32; }) .map(function(i) { return String.fromCharCode(i); }) .join("") );
- zuppy 12y agoI'm to lazy to do the math (substract and look for ascii code), but it should be "Merry Christmas". clue: look where "r" is i the string.
- awhitty 12y agoPython equivalent for convenience: map(lambda x: chr (x + 32), [45,69,82,82,89,0,35,72,82,73,83,84,77,65,83,1]) Just paste it into a python terminal and run it :)
- heinrich5991 12y agoPython 2/3 compatiblity: "".join(map(lambda x: chr (x + 32), [45,69,82,82,89,0,35,72,82,73,83,84,77,65,83,1]))

- hilti 12y agoMerry Christmas and thanks for being with me every single day in 2014.
- aragot 12y agoI read HN since 3 years. I've created my startup 1.5 year ago. I think that says it all. Oh and I had revenue from day 70, currently cash-flow-positive, and I've taught a lot of people what bootstrapping means. Thank you, community.

- yla92 12y agoမေရီ ခရစ်စမတ်ပါ HN ..
- trendril 12y agoThe thing I dislike most about the holidays is the erosion of intellectual discussion and infectious somatization even on its few remaining bastions like HN. Oh, Huxley.
- BigChiefSmokem 12y agoTo me HackerNews has had the wrong name for a while now. To me hacking was always the underground playground - more about critical thinking and circumvention and raw engineering rather than the mainstream academia and VC scene which is HN. But hey - I still love this place, Merry Christmas!
- bennettfeely 12y ago> erosion of intellectual discussion and infectious somatization Santa got you a thesaurus for Christmas?
- trendril 12y agoThe only weird one there is Soma, and that's a Huxley reference you won't find in a thesaurus. I wish though. A thesaurus would be a most endearing gift.
- trendril 12y agoThat's among the most downvotes I've ever seen, but I suppose I deserve as much for being a grump. I do find it fascinating how the spirit of Christmas (effectively read: holiday consumerism) is unshakable in the Western world, possibly more so than any religion. There might be a business lesson in here.

- xantronix 12y agoGleðileg jól! To get a jumpstart on my New Year's resolution, time to air some grievances (with myself)! 1. Dammit Xan, when are you going to finish up those unit tests for tänzer? You're holdin up the actual 0.1 release! 2. I can't believe you haven't started implementing your bytecode VM yet! Are you waiting on a freaking miracle, or just piddling until you figure out whether you want to make classes and functions defined at object code load time, or have opcodes for registering classes and functions at runtime? I can't go home until I wrestle myself in this year's Feats of Strength and get code for my VM, birchvm, up and running.
