HN is very minimalist in its UI design, almost to the point of cutting off its nose to spite its face. It lacks a lot of navigational elements and affordances other forums and sites take for granted. They don't even paginate long threa

I disagree. Gibson's dystopias are too competent, too well organized, too serious. I feel like we're headed somewhere between the satire of Neal Stephenson and the lunatic delirium of Philip K. Dick.

I don't think you're entirely wrong, but the Constitution binds the government, not citizens. The government can damn well afford to know what the 4th and 5th Amendments mean.

None, it's weird. I'm probably one of the few people dang has actually sworn at in his comments, and I piss people off and get flagged all the time, so I know plenty of people including the staff don't like me, but they'

It's based on personal experience and what little I know about how moderation works here. Of course as the mods have told me many, many times, I could just be wrong about everything. But I've seen plenty of things go by unnoticed

If you're serious - the mods won't notice anything you do until you get flagged, which sends them an alert, and even then whether or not they ban you will depend on what they consider the quality of your account, which takes into

What "marketing bros?" It's open source software. You can see what it does, and you just put it on your server. We're talking about pre NPM javascript here, no continuous deployment, everything is vendored and local and

Before the Nazis co-opted (and corrupted) it, the swastika was commonly known as a positive religious sun-symbol[0]. In Japan, where it's called a manji, it denotes the location of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Even ancient Chri

Everyone already complains that browsers are too bloated and now you want to have every browser support sortable tables when a single, simple JS file would work?

<span> is inline <div> is block <table>,<tr> and <td> are your grid, row and column. CSS improves on describing layout with positioning but HTML was still doing that before CSS even came along.

by krapp 2mo ago
That's understandable, because almost no one actually works with HTML directly anymore, but it's true. HTML contains tags like <H> for headers, <p> for paragraphs, <br> for line breaks <pre> for prerendered

Biden wasn't on the ticket, Kamala Harris was. And the age difference between Biden and Trump is just three years. That age has only ever been a problem for Biden, even now when Trump is showing signs of physical and mental decline far

That's what javascript is supposed to be for. All of this is what javascript is supposed to be for. HTML describes layout, CSS describes style, JS adds interactivity. Want sortable tables? Get a jquery plugin and spend five minutes, do

Half the country does have such a vision, and they're getting exactly what they want. The question is why the other half can't seem to do shit about it.

It isn't the fault of the left that people who never had any intention of taking their words in good faith intentionally distort their meaning and message. Defund the Police meant Defund the Police until it was co-opted and corrupted

Sure but if there are more comments than upvotes it triggers the flamewar detector and the thread gets weighted down. This forum interprets virality as damage and routes around it. Then again I suppose the bots could also be upvoting, but I
