Is it just me, or is the feel of the comment on this post different than other HN posts? There are a lot more snarky jokes. A little more combative. It feels like why I stopped reading Reddit. I hope it doesn’t metastasize to posts on other topics.
Welcome to the wonderful world of "Show HN"

I honestly can't tell if this is a parody or not
Parody. If you have a Bloomberg terminal then probably many of the people you interact with at work also have Bloomberg subscriptions.

Maybe these are /r/wallstreetbets folks flocking in? On a more serious note: I think the topic of stocks and getting rich real quick might generate that kind of feel, on any platform. Probably borderline for HN to have these discussions?
If you like stocks and are careful with the way you spend your money, you know how much time goes into buying shares of a stock. It’s tedious and I don’t have 24k for a Bloomberg terminal. Which led me to the idea during xmas break to spend the time creating my own terminal. I introduce you to “Gamestonk Terminal” (probably should’ve sent 1 tweet everyday to Elon Musk for copyrights permission eheh). In summary, the…
Did you use floating point or fixed point numbers?
