Heightist title.

It's simple to be mean on HN. You just have to hide it in some layers of passive aggression and snark. I guess now you need to add another layer. Yay. HN has got an army of people …

But I guess this site is for handing out shadow bans instead of outright telling you that you are banned . What a fine bunch, the lot of you.

Great! My shadow ban has been kind of subtle on the normal (desktop) HN version, but it was kind of too obvious on the mobile version. I think HN can do much better passive aggress…

Nothing is renewable because of the proposed eventual heat death of the Universe...

The meaning is clear enough: 98% of its renewable energy that Norway itself uses is from renewables. And "energy" probably means electricity grid. It was probably very clear to you…

> Once again, types are way overrated. You just had to state that, even though it has nothing to do with the rest of your comment? Oh right, I guess that's how flame igniting drive…

> full disclosure: I'm a Yale EE grad working as a software engineer for the last 17 years in the valley I guess "full disclosure" means "my background" now. Christ.

> [These are my personal opinions, not those of my employer.] Why would you even need to state that? It's not obvious who you are, or your employer. And you haven't mentioned anyth…

Plan9 once again show themselves to be the most Unix(-like) - omit the pesky vowels and get a short and sweet unpronounceable (by itself) name with only constants.

This course is from Harvard so it must be good.

I am not surprised _at all_. Everything you could ever imagine that might feel "second nature", is wrong according to someone (aka you're doing it wrong). So you should (re)learn i…

Damn it - it seems I mistakingly replied to the whole thread, when I intended to reply to this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9276508

A friend wanted to become a lawyer in LA (he's not American). He travelled there once, and he changed his mind about that for some reason. That saved him some time from starting to…

Ugh, my bad. I don't even know why I thought it was a landing page to begin with. Still, the same argument applies: for a personal website by a non-celebrity (status), it's pointle…

Well, I never thought that I was an innovating or unique grumpy mofo. ;)

This should be good for the Apple stocks.

How precious. I thought that the novelty of "my website is a terminal" had worn off by now, but oh well. One thing which is subpar about such an interface is that you basically hav…
