Many thanks to dang are in order, for a year of dedication to thoughtful discussions.

Unless there’s another site also called HN, this has been an year of echo chambers, every side on every divisive topic trying to downvote all opposing opinions into gray obscurity.

Jullie ook allemaal een gelukkig nieuwjaar!

Never thought I'd live in a year that will be in the history books for a long time to come. So many lessons learned (most of them hard ones), spending three weeks in bed and many months in recovery was no fun at all. But much better than the alternative.

Now, something tells me that 2021 can't possibly be worse than 2020 was but I've learned to allow for a little bit of superstition here on account of previous sentiments like that. So let me just say that I hope that all of you will make it through the COVID crisis in one piece and healthy and that 2021 will bring you much good luck and good fortune.

I created an account today to reply to this. Happy New Year, All. I’ve been a long time reader and have always enjoyed the comments and intelligent discussion on HN. I wish you all a warm and gentle 2021!

Ahh, I'm sorry you missed out on the tradition of creating an account to inform some that he is Wrong on the Internet and why. But there's always next year. Happy New Year; may it be full of vigorous and rigorous argument!

That's the amazing thing about HN, it's so easy to create accounts that you can make one every time you need to tell someone they're wrong or pedantically correct a minor technical error, so you can experience this glorious feeling over and over again!

¡Feliz año nuevo! Buon anno!

For me HN is an excellent source of curated news, and not always technical. Half of the time my GF asks me "where did you read that?", the answer is HN :)

In addition, thanks to making it to the HN front page, some of my writings are coming out as an actual, real book in April, so I have all of you to thank for this! [ not posting a link or a name because this is a Happy New Year message, not an ad :P ]
