- smoyer 12y ago<repelled via logical fallacy>
- opendais 12y agoLOL. :) That is adorable. Although, tbh, catching the right trend floats alot of startups is why that kind of content matters... I mean that is really how GitHub 'won' the whole git hosting thing, wasn't it?
- disbelief 12y agoHilarious: > How I got my girlfriend pregnant using JavaScript. > How we became ramen profitable by pivoting our cat consulting business to dogs. > Mildly interesting topic (wikipedia.org)
- bitJericho 12y agoHere's a well reasoned statement that will be downvoted because it's unpopular.
- ColinCochrane 12y agoI got a good laugh out of some of those. Things I have learned from coding for a month Ten ways to become a better programmer (by the guy who's been coding for a month)

- Orangeair 12y agoHave you heard about our Lord and Saviour JavaScript?
- kachnuv_ocasek 12y ago<completely irrelevant rant that will get upvoted to the top> OK, seriously, it should be /g/ instead of 4chan.
- ihuman 12y agoI don't think the rest of 4chan really cares about Hacker News, or even knows of its existence.
- nostrademons 12y ago4chan: smart people pretending to be dumb.
- Alupis 12y agoI think it's the other way around ;-P
- 4channer 12y agoI disagree, I know some pretty smart people on there. Sure there are some idiots floating around on /b/ but /g/ and /sci/ are generally intelligent.

- stcredzero 12y agoOn Javascript: No, it's awful. But it's the only client side scripting language out there, and Web guys love to pretend they're just as skilled as systems guys. They take concepts that systems programmers discovered 30 years ago, put a fancy name on it and do it worse. Funny, but that's exactly what people were saying about Java programmers in the 90's. Now, the Java ecosystem is full of useful libraries and well optimized systems. It's become the default language for implementing big business systems. I wonder if Javascript won't simply follow the same course? EDIT: I seem to have struck a nerve. Please read this at face value and not as some kind of snark. What I say is factually true. There are plenty of horrible things written in Java, but eventually, that becomes true of any language, and there are tons of great things written in it. It's no accident that HFT is written in Java nowadays. Also no accident that Clojure and Scala are written on top of it.
- joshbaptiste 12y agoABC in # lines of JavaScript (400 comments, 1000 points) Actually interesting topic (3 comments, 4 points) Hilarious..
- Shish2k 12y agoShow HN: cool project that I built (0 comments, 0 points) Show HN: cool project that I built with Go and Node.js (23442 comments, 63563234 points) (Not that I'm bitter about lack of exposure due to not being a clickbaiter or anything... And no, it's not that people looked at the link and just didn't think it was interesting -- according to web server logs, I didn't get a single click at all :P )

- SeanDav 12y agoI hope that the comments engine supports tail-call optimization, or we gonna blow the stack!
- MrBuddyCasino 12y agoOnly if we pretend that the HN and 4chan audiences are disjoint. I'm afraid whats happening here is more inbreeding than many are comfortable to admit.
- VeejayRampay 12y agoUncanny how "Lapis – A Lua, Moonscript Framework built on OpenResty" fits so well in that list.
- eshyong 12y agoThat's because it was an actual submission :P
- VeejayRampay 12y agoYeah I know. Only goes to prove that this particular satire has way more truth to it than appears at first glance.

- cheetahtech 12y agoI would add two more things. Im highly moderated to the point of killing users voices. Politically selfish when it comes to talking about YCombinator. (Politics is alright, as long as YCombinator is doing it)

- ChrisNorstrom 12y agoBrutal. Hilarious. Some good points. Some dumb ones (they don't seem to understand how important failure is and why it's good to share your failures). Their mockery is actually quite diverse. ===SV Celebrity Worship=== "Why Elon Musk is the most perfect human being alive today" ===Political=== "A Heart Divided: How a gay JavaScript programmer feels about Brendan Eich" "Please don't mention Condoleezza Rice.

- icpmacdo 12y agoIts funny seeing people that have just copied phrases from that thread in this 4chan thread.
- snake_plissken 12y agoI chortled at very many of these. So good.
- pearjuice 12y agoSadly, most of the things on there are true. We can try to deny it all we want, but most of the stuff that's there is true. The power of anonymity is that you get to voice honest opinions without tying it up with your identity and/or feeling responsible for it. Of course, this can be argued otherwise too, by citing some (bad) comments as example from that thread, but for the most part, what you see there are honest comments.
- stackcollision 12y agoIt doesn't look like anyone in this thread is denying anything. Most of the comments here are about how amazingly accurate every single one of these is.
- peterkelly 12y ago> How 2048 will make you a better programmer They may make fun of this, but implementing another 2048 clone has helped me become a bootstrapped digital nomad with seed funding, as well as helping me to learn Ruby, node.js, mongodb, AngularJS (including Providers and Factories), while simultaneously embracing JSON to double my sales by 2x within just a couple of days at a recent hackathon.
- UnethicalHacks 12y agoCan you expand this? Is the product generating revenue now? I own a site in a completely different niche that's also seeing quick success.

- pbhjpbhj 12y agoIf this was reddit I'd be posting a picture of Fry squinting ...
- cjf4 12y agoWas this close to biting... well done.
- estrabd 12y agoIt is funny because it is true.
- cgh 12y ago"Show HN: HackerNews reimplementation in one line of x86 ASM" This one cracked me up. I've noticed a welcome relief from JS posts lately, not to mention politics. The new moderation system is working well from my perspective.
- peterwwillis 12y ago> How I built an automatic Raspberry Pi garage door on top of JavaScript I thought this was hilarious.

- api 12y agoSo accurate. Such parody. Wow.
- LazerBear 12y agoThis is hilarious and spot on. Still love HN though.
- COil 12y ago> How I ported the control software of a nuclear reactor to reactive Javascript > How To Make Your Flat UI Flatter > I decided to re-implement Javascript in Javascript. It failed. Here is my story. Made me laugh!
- TorKlingberg 12y agoI think HN, Reddit and 4chan have mostly the same audience. People just behave differently on each site.
- howdoipython 12y agoI think this may be true to an extent. I think most 4chan posters aren't Reddit posters. There is a lot of distaste towards Reddit.
- nateabele 12y agoHeh. Mostly, can't argue, barring two things: > How I got my girlfriend pregnant using JavaScript I'm pretty sure this is directly opposed to reality. > How 2048 will make you a better programmer Incidentally, this actually has been experience (to be clear, I mean playing it, not coding it).

- pikachu_is_cool 12y agoThis post and the comments here completely violate the HN guidelines. This shouldn't have been upvoted, let alone be the top post. Thank you mods, for deleting this.
- falcolas 12y ago190 points, 74 comments, flagged by a minority of users into oblivion.
- DrinkWater 12y agoIt is pretty accurate, however HN is still the best source for all the topics i am interested in. Just skip the crap posts, and you're good.
