It's a forum with two moderators, not a civilization with a multi-tiered court justice system to interpret the laws. You're going to have to live with that. If you disagree so much, maybe it's time to go somewhere else and sp

Looking at your screenshot you post elsewhere ( https://ibb.co/hoSMHK ), I have to agree with them insofar as you need to know when to quit. Running a forum is hard work and everyone wants to devolve every mod decision into r

Well, in this comment thread we have "it's not nice to see them work [in this case]" and "I'm not sure how I feel about emojis working [in this case]." So, no, I don't think the issue is that they don&#x27

Why don't you do 1000 squats and pushups each day? It's not hard, you just do it. As easy as writing this comment. Reminds me of that Bill Burr joke where he compares "you ever try to get a six pack?" to "you ever t

Because then it would be a bidding system and thus likely no better for anyone.

It's bizarre when people suggest it's some sort of capitalist scam that we can check ourselves out at the grocery store. Surely all of the upsides of self-checkout have a higher weight than the machine beeping at you. Also, they b

Gift giving is more than just empty cash transfers. You could level your hate at anything. "Great, mom. Now I'm stuck playing with this one corporation's toy instead of having the cash to buy whatever I want. Ugh, I hate it!&

Unless we want the internet to continue centralizing into the websites that don't need a business model (like VC funding), or to the few that people are willing to take out their wallet for (like Netflix), we need a new solution if we&

How is BAT not just a money grab? It could've been done with cash. New blockchain tokens just create speculative hype and make the creator rich. Also, how does blockchain help in its objective over any other solution beyond making the

The only thing that's relevant is if these questions are standing in the way of a job you want. That HNers hate them provides a nice circle-jerk, but doesn't help you get the job.

This kind of thinking extends to the sort of Reddit/HN comments that think they're tearing down someone's argument by pointing out a single exception. It's some sort of "gotcha" culture. Imagine how ridiculous

Maybe that's actual representation of the genders in the web development field. If so, then it's still "What JS users think of JS."

Besides, client development is a cutting edge field. I'm sure glad we're advancing beyond the abstractions we have in, say, Cocoa development (which is evolving as well). Seems incredibly selfish to suggest that everyone is incomp

But client development is always hard. Comparing backend work to browser client development in an effort to attack Javascript never made sense to me. At least you have pretty good wiggle room to use other solutions on the browser client, wh

Doesn't really seem like the movie's place to create its own trigger warnings. There could be hundreds of warnings per movie. I've even seen tumblr fan fiction warnings that a story only contains CIS relationships. Not to men

Nor is it actionable. Exists solely for the "critic" to signal how unimpressed they are, as if seeing the defects in something is some challenging feat. We're in this obnoxious age of confusing useful criticism with any react

They were being dismissive, suggesting that this is old news and something they already had on vinyl. As if all we care about is the new shiny and can't possibly be interested in nor discuss existing things.

And it's pinned to the top because anyone who didn't read the article is basically expecting that sort of "hah, nice try dummy" criticism in the comments. It's like candy.
