Sorry. But I just had to vouch for this dead one, as it's by far the greatest submission title I've ever seen on HN! [Please feel free to kill it again. Now it's had its moment in the sun].

I don't know what I find more annoying; the ridiculous US copyright system that allows people to copyright almost 'anything'... or the unfathomably stupid people employed by the likes of Amazon, YouTube et al whose policies

Netflix has got to be the most annoyingly irritating website to browse that I've ever had the misfortune to come across. What makes it even more annoying is that every other similar site [eg. BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video] seems to h

Yes. And let's not forget all the politicians with their secret offshore bank accounts, trust funds, and companies registered in their pet hamster's names.... Oh. I forgot. KYC/AML rules only apply to the normal folks. KYC&#

Last time I tried 'I Don't Care About Cookies' [probably more than a year ago] it really slowed my browser down. So much so that it became more annoying than the cookie dialogues it was supposed to be hiding from me. Has it g

Idly curious as to how bright those of you who suffer from eyestrain have your screens? I have pretty decent eyesight. Pin sharp at long range although, now in my mid-fifties, my minimum focussing distance is longer than it used to be. I a

Oh dear. Not this drivel again! When will it die? I would have expected the HN crew to be able to spot the obvious shortcomings of W3W a mile off. Even if much of the supposedly tech savvy media seems to think this idiocy is genius and cont

I love Ruby's syntax. But I've always found it a nightmare to install anything built in Ruby, due to the dependency spaghetti [even worse than Python's]. Which is why I really want Crystal to succeed.

I upvoted for this alone: Another neat short hand is !$ which is an alias for the last argument of the previous command. This can be handy if one creates a new directory and wants to change into it without typing the the directory again

While i don't necessarily agree with the rehashing of David Gerard's endless "All cryptos are a ponzi scheme" refrain, the body of the argument is what I've been saying to anyone who would listen, for a while now.

I find this quite ironic. A few years ago, when I was casting round for a new compiled language to tinker with, I looked at Nim, Go and Crystal. I thought I'd really like Nim as I was reasonably familiar with Python. But I found it jus
