Happy New Year! This is my favorite community, and in a lot of ways feels like a last bastion for our kind.

> something can you elaborate?
Monthly lunches? Meet up to play a tabletop game? Go for a hike? Have a group receive a tech presentation once a quarter? Lots of options, most just take your time and emails/contacting possibly interested folks.
If it's like around here (London, UK) the last thing people want to talk about is the day job!

#74Happy new year! Likewise, this is generally the only remaining site that I feel better after I leave it and more informed. No ads, excellent moderation, useful discussion and links. No gamification and chasing the modern web. Years of lurking and then years of sparse posting it still feels the same.
Here is to hoping this doesn’t change. Keep it up dang.

#77I love HN. Dang does an amazing job moderating this place.
My new-years resolution: to not post a single political thing; interesting technical things only. Let's see how that goes in a US election year!

#78No leap seconds in 2023. Here's hoping that IERS blesses us again in 2024!

#79Happy New Year everyone! HN will always remain in my heart and mind. 5 years ago I moved to Amsterdam to work on a super interesting R&D project that taught me a lot about GPS, coordinate systems, algorithms, and sadly the importance of having a short commute. I spent an hour and a half to get in either direction. That was demotivating and made me depressed and tired. HN was how I passed time, first on the train, then on the bus, reading curated articles and through thoughtful comments. I couldn't have managed without you all. Once again, I wish you all a Happy New Year and luck in all your endeavours!

#80Happy new years everyone.
I started regularly browsing Hacker News around the start of corona when I graduated from university as well. It has been an amazing few years, and I look forward to the coming year.
A lot has changed these last years, but somehow Hacker News always remains a solid place to procrastinate and/or learn new things.
When I tell other developers that if they want to keep up to date with tech, I tell them about Hacker News, it always goes like this: Come for the articles stay for the community. Thanks to everyone making Hacker News both an interesting and welcoming space to hang out!
