I agree that HN is not the best for long-form discussions. However, I'd say that content on HN is not as short-lived as a tweet thanks to the features I talked about. I think that's part of why it feels specials compared to Twitte

Thanks, that "time-to-live" feature is a great exemple of what I was talking about. At work if I remember correctly it was something about not being able to read a write just after making it, and having to wait one second. I guess

That's interesting. Have you tested this with another DB? The design makes a lot of sense, but I feel like it's the kind of thing that's hard to get right unless you actually test it. At the company I currently work, they swi

Maybe this reasoning can be applied to Hacker News itself. The moderation probably plays a big part in the quality of the content found here. However, HN is also indexed on Google, has a few way to discover more ("past" button, se

I think what makes/made IRC great is not any of those things, but the people that use it. Most people don't use a platform for the platform itself, but for the people that use it.

Software work is fragile, just like all kind of deep work, because you're holding everything in your head. I've worked in fast food and in software. In fast food I was constantly thinking about lots of things all the time, because

That's the first time I hear his name. For people in the same situation as me, from the article: > For over four decades, Dongarra has been the primary implementor or principal investigator for many libraries such as LINPACK, BLAS,

I think it is. As someone that learned English too (French is my first language), I know how much it expends your world. You suddenly have access to a wealth of knowledge, resources, media that you didn't have before. However, I would

The judgement is a reaction to yours, that "if it is not being translated into English, there are big chances it is not worth reading". This is a textbook example of being close-minded, and implies two things: a narrow view of the

Small data point: on some parts of 4chan, calling people schizos is basically the new way to call out some trolls/haters that rely on wild theories and stuff like that. Considering there are multiple archives, it's probably easy t

> if it is not being translated into English, there are big chances it is not worth reading That's such a close-minded view of things, and that's also assuming that translation is not a lossy process.

It's nice to see that some people share some of my fears. When I still played Kerbal Space Program it used to make me anxious, and even something like the landing zone selection in Rimworld can be a bit scary. I used to have nightmares

I'm not sure if they "solve" this. In this current case, this was solved by working with the person that need the feature, rather than just tracking their usage of said feature.

I wouldn't call that time wasted, I think it's usually very important to create an atmosphere, and to better understand the world that the people we're watching are living in. I've never watched Secret of Kells so I can&

There is, at least for me, a big difference between "most things in this category tend to be this way", and "this thing is in that category, therefore it can't be that way". The first statement is a often useful heu

I don't really understand your point. It is an animated movie, but why "just" and why would that prevent it from being "deep"? I'll also add that wisdom doesn't need to be "deep". The article foc

It seems like your algorithm is mostly scrapping stuff from websites? Considering your post, I thought it was either user-contributed or made entirely by you.

Thank you for sharing that. People often say that they miss the old internet here, and I think this website is a prime example of that. Someone passionate about something sharing their passion.
