It is buggy for sure; But many of the Spotify apps I use work fine on Linux even without support though.

I'm constantly divided between two options. 1. "Tapping into the zeitgeist and participate proactively is great." As you put it so eloquently :) 2. The alternative is to follow your own curiosity and read whatever you really

For sure, persuasion is all about exploiting the backdoors of your consciousness to influence your free will. Powerful stuff man.

Even though a solid package manager was enough to get me on board, I deeply agree with you in that building a community around it will make all the difference. I'd also like to think it will be a bit less difficult for Mozilla to accom

I'm aware publishing GIFs on HN is off-topic and I realize this might be a bit childish but I couldn't help myself, and also, you sound like a lad with a sense of humor so you might appreciate it :P http://imgur.com&#x2

Not sure if I understood you correctly but as far as I know HN uses algorithms already for this sort of taks. That's cool but I'd like to have better control, so I'm designing a custom HN curator myself. And I've noticed

Well, there's some high value on learning lessons by yourself, it may have taken some time from your life, but you ended up understanding better the in and outs. So good for you my friend.

I found it curious that something is never mentioned in that post. That is, not voting at all. So yeah, I generally agree with PG in that > it's ok to use the up and down arrows to express agreement But he never said to do

>> assuming good faith on the poster haha I get it. And that's also very kind of you. I do it too sometimes, trying not to lose perspective of the true purpose of the conversation taking place of course; a single upvote in a bomb

Don't you think that would break the minimalist design? I don't think it would benefit, not to mention it would be a little too opinionated. I suspect HN's up/down system follows the pattern of simplicity by design and f

Well then, it seems to me that you have a very healthy approach to votes and flags. It should be common sense but I suspect not everyone with the ability to downvote has such considerations and the HN guidelines¹ offer very little comment o

I was trying to be crystal clear. But I liked your conciseness more than my long-winded reasoning break down.

I've found that the most healthy way to deal with people that dismiss your entire argument/point/opinion by nit-picking your grammar (or similar) is to dismiss them back, kindly. The kindly part is so important; their attitud

I don't agree with mreiland. I didn't dismiss you donizx, your first comment was a smart POV. mreiland is just being rude, he probably had a bad day or was recently frustrated with some discussion gone eerie with a climate change

by jorgearturo 11y ago
If you don't want to waste your time with climate change deniers, just skip and don't address them, that's cool, life is short no doubt about that. If you find yourself in a situation where somehow you DID address them (maybe

Oh hey, you wrote that? You might have mentioned it on another thread because I have it on my amazon wishlist already. xP I've just promoted your book up in the long to-read list.

Disclaimer: I didn't downvote you, I just comment to offer some insight (unrequited perhaps). You said: >> People can't read the unsaid stuff. Buy many people CAN read the unsaid stuff, so maybe I'll spell this o

haha that's hilarious, I don't think I have enough rep to make my voting count, but I nevertheless upvoted you just in case. And I should warn you! I WILL make a T-shirt and give you credit.

You might be right. Even when in many cases you can immediately tell downvotes were necessary, deserved and the commenter should've seen it coming. I've also encountered many cases that confused me a bit and at the time didn'

I'm against trigger-happy flagging/downvoters too. On the other hand, I actually like the fact that Reddit's and HN's communities are different in that way. I go to Reddit when I'm hungry for lots of information and

I agree with you.IMHO, graying out text is a way to convey censorship. Allowing each individual to configure his HN experience sounds positive to me. I like reading controversial opinions just like you. For me, it's both a way to chall

I was not criticizing your use of # at all. Using # to comment is perfectly fine I guess. Now that you mentioned it, it might be a bit confusing for newbies, but don't worry I don't think anyone would try to send the command &#x27

Nice. Now that we're getting all stackoverflowy in here, it would be worth mentioning two other handy tips. Preventing typo mistakes with bash autocomplete is even better than correcting mistakes afterwards, it also makes typing so muc
