Looks to be written and self-published by a recent grad. I think the feeling of "flatness" comes from the author's background as a less experienced writer. Nonetheless, I found the…

I agree with this. In the same way internet is synonymous with Facebook in some countries, I think any kind of niche community defaults to congregating in a subreddit. Sometimes I'…

They're irrelevant because they aren't, to my knowledge, considered in the algorithm of how comments and posts are ranked on Hacker News. It's not an assessment of their value by a…

Sure, I'll elaborate. I'm not logged in but also have a list of specific subreddits I frequent. I visit the same subreddits so frequently that on my safari mobile app they pop up a…

I've always found the 90-9-1 rule fascinating. Especially when considering anonymous or semi-anonymous forums such as Hacker News or Reddit. These sites have large audiences and do…

It’s not just the wrong choice, it’s fraud.

Sorry, but what is exactly the relation to onlyFans? Is the pitch that you can sign up as a content creator and have others pay to see what you’ve been trading? If so, bold to adve…

Shocked at some of these parents' responses regarding their sweeping characterization of public schools vs private schools. I despise this public vs private school debate since its…

I have a lot of sympathy for education about neurodiversity and any form of spreading acceptance of those who are different than ourselves or what’s considered normal. However, as …

I definitely find dual monitors or more for splitting code, documentation, or other relevant project information to be similar to having multiple papers lying across my desk. I don…

Isn't most of reason you weigh less in the morning than at night due to the amount of water weight you have lost while sleeping.

While in I high school, I always held the impression that college would be full of immensely enriching educational experiences. Courses, primarily those by world renown universitie…

In terms of open-source alternatives, there's Zulip [ https://zulip.com ]. It's very similar to Slack and fairly simple to set up. They do offer paid hosting at a subscription cost…

Vasanthv put it on GitHub as open source so I don't think they have much of an intent of monetizing the service. I think the lasting impact is that it allows others to easily set u…
