Aggressively. I'm constantly following new people and unfollowing loads of other people. I try to keep a good mix of tech, music, and philosophy in with all the policy and politics. I also liberally mute and block. Only way to make it

I really think it makes the site worse. I’m already an avid Twitter user, I come to Hacker News for discussions and content that I couldn’t find anywhere else. The political discourse on here is just lower-quality and less interesting than

Have you tried using .NET Core? It's a pretty thorough reworking of .NET Framework that is officially supported by Microsoft on Mac, Linux, and Windows, and pretty much all of my experiences with it thus far have been positive. VS Code

Absolutely. I’m a huge Emacs fan and org-mode still feels too complicated for me.

Generally I'm opposed to rules changes as a solution to moderation problems unless the rules genuinely do not provide for a way to discipline people who misbehave. But to some extent, they're necessary. Would we prefer if enforcem

These are not lies, these are changes in our understanding of viral epidemiology that we have seen happen throughout the course of the pandemic, concomitant with the introduction of increasingly more contagious strains. Science has a lot of

I don't think there is really a "better" option than this. Personally I find it distasteful because (if I understand this feature correctly) it means I have to know whether somebody turned on the async flag in another file to

> Nope! There's no language magic going on, and the global switch is just a global variable in the root module. It only affects a few functions in the standard library that check that variable. I didn’t say there was magic, I was de

This is interesting, it seems like a global mode that kind of turns normal Zig code into Go or Erlang-like non-blocking code. It does mean you have to hold non-local context in your head while reading functions, but maybe that's a wort

Yes, it was made by the same people who invented the Pax. I don't think they'd ever come out and say it but I would fully believe they were just looking for a better way to consume nicotine, in that the Pax was supposed to be a be

You can still buy quality footwear made of quality materials, it just costs more. And I’m not sure athletic footwear has ever been easily repairable, for one thing. Optimizing for weight cancels out many of the affordances you mention.

All I’m saying is I think it’s forgivable to take something like this seriously, especially without full context. Doubling down after learning it’s a ruse, not so much. My observations on this issue are hindsight, this article is the first

I understand it was intended as satire. What I don’t understand is why anyone would be surprised that you fooled people. People are notoriously easy to fool! Smart people, dumb people, brilliant scientists. Happens all the time. I would go

But this cuts both ways — you are exposing your own biases in believing it’s obvious satire. I hold the prior that most people writing on the internet are not doing it merely to get a rise out of liberals. I have also known men who beca

If you have to rely on a news source’s veracity, I would not rely on the veracity of Vice and Business Insider, to put it mildly. And “New York Times bestselling author” is a marketing blurb, not a reputation for reporting the truth.

The author of this article says it was unsubtle, obvious satire but I would say that the post they referenced was solidly in Poe’s law territory. Is it really so hard to imagine someone genuinely writing that? Perhaps they’ve never met a mi
