There's a difference between being a prick to fellow community members versus being tough on submissions. I rank myself in the top 5% regarding expertise on a few topics that come …

The "several flaming errors" were previously mentioned here and as comments on his website (not by me). To detail them again could also be construed as piling on. You are reading t…

And so it ends. The mere act of partnering with Yahoo indicates desperation and signals poor decision making. I'm not sure I understand HN's fascination with this site but this is …

Perhaps not the most neutral source for information. I found their summaries of paywalled articles to be a bit... misleading. They'll sell you Swarovski crystals and Himalayan salt…

Repost as a semi-useful thread below didn't meet humor standards and people who aren't logged into HN should see it, too. If you need an FIR filter, click here and push the button.…

You seem to be treating this like "Knuth solved it in 1965, how hard can it be?" I provided a link to 100 language parsers with commit history. A quick Google reveals the most freq…
