One great problem it solves is namespacing all of your styles. I don't have to worry about classname collisions because the bundle handles it all for me. Instead of having one massive global stylesheet, I have a bunch of small, modular

Seems like I disagree with everything this site is intended to be. Can you please delete my account? I'm sick of this site and its biased, self-righteous mods. I even sent you an email and everything, just like you asked!

The only flaw I see in your analysis is that you seem to believe Europe is better off in any way. Feudalism is making a resurgence all over the west.

I don't think communities would put up with foreign ownership of local land where said owner literally never sets foot in a 1000 mile radius of the land they "own." Even following your argument, this type of land ownership (p

I think it's pretty clear what I'm trying to achieve. I'm trying to get you guys to implement an account deletion button in user settings like you should have. I should not have to expose my personal email by contacting you i

It's not that hard to notice, there's just no official documentation or explanation of what these mechanics are and that's the extent of how "secret" it is. I think if you search dang's comment history he menti

Yes, it appears that way because of the way the moderation works. Comments that HN wants to be hidden just get sent to the bottom of the comment stack, then grayed out, then hidden. You probably believe that only comments that users downvot

I disagree. I think HN is good in some ways, but awful in many other ways so much so that it overshadows the good. Unfortunately the good can trick honest people like yourself into thinking the platform as a whole is good, but hey, you&#x27

With the bar on the top and the uncloseable bar on the bottom, this site was too claustrophobic for me to commit to reading the whole article.

I think we should shut down Netflix because it is a huge waste of energy that could be better repurposed elsewhere. Who are you to say Netflix is more useful than Bitcoin?

They're not parking aircraft carriers off of Florida because we outnumber them 11 to 2. It would be pretty funny to see a single Chinese carrier parked in the Gulf, surrounded by 5 of our own though... Military superiority is a bit lik
