Fahrenheit 451 is a classic! I last read it in high school though, I definitely need to give it another go

What about the story appeals to you? When were you first introduced to the story?

While many enjoy those non-fiction technical reads, there's more to life than that! What other (i.e. fiction) books does the HN community like? My personal favorite is definitely C…

I haven't seen Mattermost [0] mentioned by anyone here, especially considering it's open-source and you can self-host. Admittedly, it has been a while since I've done some research…

I've only skimmed some the paper, but does it distinguish between _types_ of anime fans? I think the people the non-fans are probably thinking of are more likely "weeaboos", or peo…

Looks extremely cool, I could see myself picking this up when it comes out to take to work with me. My only concern (like others) is the rotary dial. I like it, but it would be gre…

I usually have a max of 2 windows open with anywhere between 4 and 9 tabs open. We do exist!

I believe they're talking about Rust's performance vs C/C++, but I could be wrong

As a lot of other people are saying, yes, books are worth it. I'm 19 right now, so I grew up reading paper books and interacting a lot with the internet and video games. Around whe…

First, let me say that I am not a professional of any kind. I'm actually just entering my first year of undergrad. Anyway, let's get to the point: If someone were to use the auto t…

As a current high school student: hell no. I've tried writing study guides for myself in Markdown, and while it is useful, it is 10x easier to do it in Word. Plus, as many people a…
