Google is mostly a data mining operation. Reddit is an organic content mine. Google is a behemoth, while Reddit are struggling to go public. It speaks volumes about how the internet has evolved in the last 25 years or so.

They should disclose what happens in their system when a subreddit goes private, and how it scales with subreddit size. Otherwise, I call BS.

Algeria gained independence in the 60s, and they have been involved in several wars ever since. The current status quo is probably explained by the civil war that ended about 20 years ago.

Pretty much. This so called blue mind theory is just saying that rich people tend to be happy.

Reddit's current situation reminds a bit of Yahoo Answers in the late 2000s. Considering they were launched 5 days apart, Reddit has been incredibly resilient.

I've been using old Reddit for a few years, pretty much since I found out it was a thing. Judging by their current iteration's UX, the code is probably horrific enough that open sourcing it would hurt their reputation. As you may

EU traded off massive inflation for independence from Russian fossil fuels. A victory for politicians, not so much for the Otto Normalverbraucher.

I once tried to learn what you would call "proper React", only for some Googler to tell me I wasn't even using React. Despite the fact I was using it back when hooks weren't a thing, and I had built multiple apps with it

I sense too much bureaucracy and micromanagement. I would typically expect that from 25+ year old languages. A technology as young as Rust shouldn't be riddled with drama.

I wonder if it relates to the decline in fertility in the last few decades. Is having kids a motivation for marriage? Could it be the other way around?

Different ideologies make relationships wear out, all the time. Some manager does not care too much about documenting some area of the product, some IC does not care enough to dig into the code to understand it, etc. Week by week these peop

A major perk of going to the office is that you will be able to replace your Dell's battery pretty quickly when it swells like a balloon.

> Study suggests a robot levy — but only a modest one — could help combat the effects of automation on income inequality in the U.S. Pretty sure automation is not to blame for inequality, anywhere. At least not currently.

I have hit the front page 5 or 6 times just by sharing content I find genuinely interesting. HN users have a sixth sense that detects organic links vs automated stuff.

My pet peeve with so-called greenfield projects is that actual greenfield projects are extremely rare. As soon as your shiny new service has to interact with other services, you will run into their stakeholders expectations, and your projec

This is what happens when the main criteria to hire your devs is stuff like whiteboard coding and encyclopedic knowledge of algorithms. You end up with a bunch of really smart people who don't care about users.
