I always enjoy the satirical content about last weeks hackernews posts

#13I've bookmarked so much it doesn't mean anything anymore. I tried a few years ago to index it all, but with the rate limiting that went nowhere. I should probably revisit pulling it all out of the common crawl now that I think about it. Or perhaps someone knows of some mirrors?
I made a basic API (free/open source) to access user favorites, since that endpoint isn’t available on the normal api. I’ll add in a comments option.

#15This is the only comment I have bookmarked in my years of lurking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18964418
> The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior (in whose honor I had a day off of work today) never once called for 'tolerance', the boycotts and sit-ins were not a demand for tolerance - they were a demand for integration. To tolerate is to "otherise" - you are _allowed_ to continue being as your are, but on the outside. To integrate, you do not require permission, but you do not continue as you are - both "sides" are transformed by the process.

#16You can favourite comments on HN and the lists are public so you can browse others favourites. This is a little known feature but I like it. For an example here are my favourite comments:

I didn't put a lot of thought in it, I just favourite stuff I might want to reconsider later. One example I still like is:
>You can hide from your your boss, your wife, or even your mother, but you can’t hide from Facebook.
Browsing others pages can be quite insightful for what they find notable. Not everyone uses this feature, so not everyone has favourites and it takes a little digging to find good ones. For example here are Thomas Ptaceks:

#18"The separation of design and construction into phases is a hangover from civil engineering. It has the baked in assumption that the design phase is relatively cheap, short and somewhat unpredictable the construction phase is expensive, long and predictable. The root problem is the assumption that specifications can be validated for correctness, like a blueprint for a bridge can. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is a persistent myth in software development."

"OOP is just a mental model. Deep down everything is made of bits. The church of OOP has failed but if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck it probably is useful to make a duck class. We're now down to fighting for nuances. You can do most things with OOP or without OOP but each path has some upsides and downsides and most of the time it's good to use some things it provides where it makes sense and not get too religious about it. The great architect has the foresight on how the code will be used in five years and design it accordingly." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18250466

That's the first one I thought of too. :)
(Oh my, I recall reading that roughly in real time when Colin wrote it, can't believe that was 2007 already!)
