"How polyphasic sleep helped me pitch my startup"
> How 2048 will make you a better programmer
They may make fun of this, but implementing another 2048 clone has helped me become a bootstrapped digital nomad with seed funding, as well as helping me to learn Ruby, node.js, mongodb, AngularJS (including Providers and Factories), while simultaneously embracing JSON to double my sales by 2x within just a couple of days at a recent hackathon.

If this was reddit I'd be posting a picture of Fry squinting ...
Can you expand this? Is the product generating revenue now? I own a site in a completely different niche that's also seeing quick success.
Was this close to biting... well done.
Can you share with us your One Weird Trick To Make Angular Documentation Useful?!

"Show HN: HackerNews reimplementation in one line of x86 ASM"
This one cracked me up.
I've noticed a welcome relief from JS posts lately, not to mention politics. The new moderation system is working well from my perspective.

I think HN, Reddit and 4chan have mostly the same audience. People just behave differently on each site.
I think this may be true to an extent. I think most 4chan posters aren't Reddit posters. There is a lot of distaste towards Reddit.
> Show HN: My full-stack web framework written entirely in CSS3
yeah well if you just added a couple of input/output functions to it you could potentially do it with SassScript :p
That reminds me of backend CSS: https://medium.com/@./43dbc25cbd12
This one was hilarious.
"What HN thinks about what 4chan thinks about HN"
I hope that the comments engine supports tail-call optimization, or we gonna blow the stack!
Only if we pretend that the HN and 4chan audiences are disjoint. I'm afraid whats happening here is more inbreeding than many are comfortable to admit.
This is a fixed point combinator joke waiting to happen.
Sadly, most of the things on there are true. We can try to deny it all we want, but most of the stuff that's there is true. The power of anonymity is that you get to voice honest opinions without tying it up with your identity and/or feeling responsible for it. Of course, this can be argued otherwise too, by citing some (bad) comments as example from that thread, but for the most part, what you see there are honest comments.
It doesn't look like anyone in this thread is denying anything. Most of the comments here are about how amazingly accurate every single one of these is.
Uncanny how "Lapis – A Lua, Moonscript Framework built on OpenResty" fits so well in that list.
That's because it was an actual submission :P
Yeah I know. Only goes to prove that this particular satire has way more truth to it than appears at first glance.

How I ported the control software of a nuclear reactor to reactive Javascript

OK, seriously, it should be /g/ instead of 4chan.

I don't think the rest of 4chan really cares about Hacker News, or even knows of its existence.

Its funny seeing people that have just copied phrases from that thread in this 4chan thread.

I thought this was hilarious. Until I realized it's a real thing. http://itsbrent.net/2013/03/hacking-my-garage-with-a-raspber...
I'm done with the internet.

"fuck this shit we have this every month and some retard posts it on HN farming 300 points"
Heh. Mostly, can't argue, barring two things:
> How I got my girlfriend pregnant using JavaScript
I'm pretty sure this is directly opposed to reality.
> How 2048 will make you a better programmer
Incidentally, this actually has been experience (to be clear, I mean playing it, not coding it).

It is pretty accurate, however HN is still the best source for all the topics i am interested in.
Just skip the crap posts, and you're good.

I would add two more things.
Im highly moderated to the point of killing users voices.
Politically selfish when it comes to talking about YCombinator. (Politics is alright, as long as YCombinator is doing it)

Hehe
This is hilarious and spot on. Still love HN though.

I chortled at very many of these. So good.

This post and the comments here completely violate the HN guidelines. This shouldn't have been upvoted, let alone be the top post. Thank you mods, for deleting this.
Here's a well reasoned statement that will be downvoted because it's unpopular.
tfw I came here from that post on /g/ to comment about the thread I came from. Meta af
LOL. :) That is adorable.
Although, tbh, catching the right trend floats alot of startups is why that kind of content matters...
I mean that is really how GitHub 'won' the whole git hosting thing, wasn't it?

On Javascript:
No, it's awful. But it's the only client side scripting language out there, and Web guys love to pretend they're just as skilled as systems guys. They take concepts that systems programmers discovered 30 years ago, put a fancy name on it and do it worse.
Funny, but that's exactly what people were saying about Java programmers in the 90's. Now, the Java ecosystem is full of useful libraries and well optimized systems. It's become the default language for implementing big business systems. I wonder if Javascript won't simply follow the same course?
EDIT: I seem to have struck a nerve. Please read this at face value and not as some kind of snark. What I say is factually true. There are plenty of horrible things written in Java, but eventually, that becomes true of any language, and there are tons of great things written in it. It's no accident that HFT is written in Java nowadays. Also no accident that Clojure and Scala are written on top of it.
