I'm afraid you're looking for something that just isn't there. Now this feature request is a good idea in my opinion, that's why I'm suggesting to upvote it on the Feature Requests page and not just make another post that will get killed an

Not really, it's just referencing new users, it's used in the site itself: http://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories and http://news.ycombinator.com/noobcomments

Noobs keep asking for this feature almost daily now and pg kills the post every time, because you're not supposed to ask like this. Feature requests go in the feature requests page at the link in the bottom. Or just upvote the link by gaura

J is open source and free software as of March 2011 under GPLv3. See you at the J software forums.

It would be except it's not new, it's a dupe of post from not too long ago that had a large amount of points: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2464213

Which university are you talking about? (I'm learning J and other APL derivatives right now by myself by experimenting with the J docs and pinging the amazing people at the J software forums).

This situation has no parallels with 'the fall of Rome' whatsoever, unless I'm misreading your intent.

Hardly, there is a lot of arc that you are not seeing that really powers the voting and other features of the site like spam detection and voting ring detection. It's similar to the code at http://ycombinator.com/arc/arc3.tar but there ar

HN does not use Google Analytics or any other kind of analytics tracking for that matter. I think they used to use mixpanel and had the mixpanel logo at the bottom of the homepage before though.

Why is this biased anonymous junk on HN frontpage?

Take anything from loper-os with a massive grain of salt, he is a long-term troll who has been writing these sorts of wistful but ultimately empty posts for several years now. Calling everything and everyone stupid and bloated and yearning

Why?

Yes, they do. Who do you think contributes to the Linux kernel everyday, only individual hackers all over the world pushing FL/OSS ? The vast majority of the contributors are big-tech-co affiliated who come from places like Red Hat, Intel,

It is explicit, apparently FB is using OpenID which is information supplied by you linking the two accounts, completely opt-in. Besides, it's hardly tracking you with this feature, a boolean: is user logged in to Gmail? Yes|No If yes, user

That's pretty neat, I wish they'd publish on how they did this so others could use it. Sounds like another great way to remove friction for the user, always a great thing.

A lot of people have claimed to have stopped reading HN publicly but sorta just came back anyways. Even mattmaroon is around now.

This is just a throwaway account and not the one under my real name. I've been reading Hacker News since before it was even called that. My "real name" account is over 4 years old.

Google+ is almost where Friendfeed was in 2008, awesome. All we need now is feed and service imports and we've got a done deal.

I think this is a more recent development actually, that started in the last year particularly. Hacker News had a much more business and startup friendly environment, but the anti-capitalist attitude is a sentiment that was found mostly at

If we can quit the absurd analogies all over this thread for a minute, can you point me to why Monsanto is so evil in your eyes? Other than a Vanity piece, it seems everyone has come to a preconcluded fact that Monsanto is "evil" somehow. C

by irrumator 15y ago
Yes, because Hacker News is for civilized, rational discussion. Not '+1 !'s, not analogies to the Nazi regime, not a litany of profanity to a hard-working young startup, and not more hivemind think from Reddit. The kind of hivemind that dow

by irrumator 15y ago
Agreed, I don't think I've ever seen so many 'fucks' and similar words used on an HN thread before. For some reason all these new posters are tying every company which they have a grudge against with Monsanto, and by association, with Cloud

Sure, no one's saying Jobs will be forgotten to the sands of time any time soon. Yet 1000 years is a little bit of a stretch, especially when you try to size him up next to the ancient greats.

Are you seriously comparing Steve Jobs to those giants? Listen, I don't want to be disrespectful to a man who's just died, but you dishonor him when you try to stack him up next to them. The ideas and intellectual breakthroughs of the ancie

The poor man's HN account delete: change email, change pass to random gibberish, logout. You're free. Until the next account.
