Have you heard about our lord and savior root|parent|prev|next ?

> our lord and savior root|parent|prev|next You are welcome! My very small contribution to the system (I asked and "pushed" for it) - of course, Dang and/or his team implemented it. It is pleasant to read about it in such appreciative terms.

You've earned true universe karma points there. Thank you.

The 2013 thread is pure gold.

I really appreciate that I had no idea this was a decade old. The Internet changes every day but people remain the same.

Far fewer people wanna talk about JIT these days. Alas.

Damn, I was afraid this was going to be someone stealing my genius idea. Gladly it was just tangential to that idea. Idea: Train an ai to construct entire threads based on the input of the title and link. There should be plenty of training material, and frankly I think it would be hilariously similar to the real threads. When new submissions are added to HN, the system will fetch the title and link, and predict the e…

There was a reddit experiment a few years back, SubredditSimulator, that was a scaled version of what you described. It was obviously more surreal and funny than accurate. There were users trained off of popular subreddits, and they just ran with threads and comments being created purely from the data.

Since it was missing there I realized how am I overusing '[-]' instead of scrolling. Like Tarzan swing on vines. (Also is this relavant or am I just piggy-backing your top comment?)

Kinda relevant, because [-] doesn't work with JS disabled. :-P

It could, however, with CSS like this: https://iamkate.com/code/tree-views/

The only thing missing is the actual expert making a clueful statement at the very bottom of the page where nobody reads. Possibly downvoted a couple of times.

And when you click on their unsuspecting profile called "jolly_rogers123" it goes: >link to their site >creator of (literally the thing being discussed), 2007 >20+ YoE in everything

It's always the same story.

It’s missing a comment from someone who dismisses someone else’s comment by starting with “Ehhhh no.” It’s also missing someone making a funny joke and then being downvoted because HN comments need to be serious contributions to the topic.

Came here to say that it's missing a "This isn't Reddit" comment.
