Thank you. With respect to the various individuals working to build their own directories, marginalia search is the missing element that allows me to sift through the register of blogs that are being collected. This whole thing that's

With regards to mobile browsers, this can be mitigated with charitable practices similar to paywall avoidance, where a considerate user could reply with the direct link to the PDF. This is not necessarily easy on sci-hub (you have to do som

The influx of AI-generated content on the Web is a given but I highly doubt it will have an adverse effect on any outlets that try to operate with a modicum of integrity and respect to their audiences with regard to the production of genuin

The absurdity of this event is surface-level when you take into consideration the farmer’s past negligent communication style. What lies beneath is quite contrary to absurdity. It’s easy to get excited and want to cry foul over this…but eve

That last part stands out to me, him being a researcher, that is. I wonder if there is any detriment to the idea of researchers or other “knowledge workers” who use social media at the risk of exposing new developments or ideas to people wh

I think it conveys a sense of dedication to his work that is at odds with the ever-looming desire to pontificate than it does aloofness toward others. I’m not familiar with him or his work beyond the cursory glance at his Wikipedia page tha

There is something of a paradox that I feel exist, at least in the US, with regards to the defense sector. I don’t agree with its ethics or morals as they exists in the country, but I’m curious how others reconcile their privileges in compa

This is not a good look for what is the de facto go-to (from my perspective) reference guide for web development. I’m not too crazy about MDN, but I expected better from them.

This concept was alluded to in a comment on HN a few weeks ago. I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. I'm inclined to suspect that Prigozhin is vying for affection in the typical manner of a mercenary chief. While his frust

Ah, but the parent comment does so much to fuel the narrative of conflict that makes places like the Fediverse so appealing to some.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted because this is the best way to browse HN in my opinion.

This is a popular rebuttal and I don’t think that it’s a good one. The detrimental effects of the media forms you’ve listed are better considered in ways other than through events that themselves are (ironically) pop culture tropes today

From a layman's perspective, to me it looks like society has reached, or is reaching, peak literacy. By this I'm referring to the scale and velocity of words and other symbols, and their effects on mankind. The internet has enhanc

I don't agree with the author's motives, but some of his observations are valid. In general, this piece is articulate and "goes somewhere". Albeit, it does suffer from being a hop, skip and a jump away from becoming nave

I don't disagree with either you or the author in principle. But I find that the prevailing narrative surrounding dealing with information online covers tooling and not so much "narrative" itself. It's too easy to just t
