    Self-important - sure, the author says as much themselves. But how is it misguided? OP is having fun on their personal site. Where would you guide them instead?

    This reminds me of the Stanford Gleaning Project https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=15Z25z2IyTYSzH0...

    Okay let's charitably assume this PR for an Audit feature is completely unrelated to the Enterprise Audit feature introduced several months later. The reviewers of the OSS code are…

    You're missing the point, if this was just an unmerged PR no one would care. But it's likely the paid Enterprise edition has merged this already, and now the same entity has an inc…

    StreetComplete is outstanding app, and an iOS port will bring more contributors to places like the US. So happy to see this.

    Makes sense - great work so far! This is easily the best looking PTA app I've seen.

    Awesome! I've been using Beancount/Fava for over 2 years now and this looks really slick. One thing off the bat I noticed, it doesn't look like custom Tags are supported? I use tag…

    Fully agree. When I was younger I used to care more about privacy, and would use nothing but FOSS apps and OSes no matter how much it inconvenienced me. There's a significant oppor…

    Eh, from the rest of the thread I don't think these 133t HN readers are the target audience anyway.

    Not because of how violent and graphic, but because there's a chance the death is immediate. Cancer is always a long, long time away. It's like saying if you put $100 in your 401k …

    I suspect it's more about value of returned items than the quantity. I have returned ~half of the items I purchased in the last year
