Thanks for being here over the years. The faces changed some, stayed the same some, but it’s good people and good conversation!

May you all have a happy new year, and many more!

I used to have friends in uni with whom i could share very nerdy/technical conversations. near graduation we no longer get together sadly. this has taken a toll on me. HN is a place that feels like home, even if I'm usually just lurking around and overhearing conversations. Thanks everyone for sharing!

I am jealous, as people at my uni seemed to be mostly there for the cheap alcohol and parties and probably to avoid working. I imagined uni would have watercooler chats about interesting stuff. But the incentives aren’t aligned. For that you need niche programming language meetups! Or maybe PhD but I decided against that.

Happy New Year! Just as many people here have said already, HN is really one of the few places online where one can find thoughtful discourse devoid of flame baits. Many a times, I read the comments before even following the links if at all. I've learned so much through HN. I would say that not only technical knowledge but also my English has improved massively all thanks to this forum.

Time to ship 2024 to production. Happy new year, fellow hackers. May your code always work on the first try and never regress.

Midnight deploys are such a pain, why can't we deploy the new year during business hours?

At least we stagger the transition across world time zones.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm fairly confident that yes, this will be the year of the Linux desktop: 2024 = 20 | 24 20 x 3 + 16 = 76, which is the ASCII value of 'L'. 24 x 3 + 12 = 84, which is the ASCII value of 'T'. = LT = Linux Torvalds

I'm so thankful for the mathematicians of HN! Hear hear! Year of Linux!

Always has been (the linux desktop is the terminal!)
