True, but it's rude to call that out, not to mention rather more arrogant than wise. These are trepidatory times, and like many, his job is not at all secure. In his shoes I'd be frightened too, and he displays reasonable grace in spite of it; I have done less well at times.

My comment on the other thread meanwhile wasn't nice at all, but it was also misdirected, and meant to refer to Hacker News rather than your own site.

(I like the style, too. It's good to see Helvetica get a deserved reevaluation, now that the millennial generation is aging out of even being able to imagine we are cool. Or ever were.)

My own profile on this website may help elucidate my perspective on the matter. I'm both shadowbanned and have applied a hundred-year "noprocrast" countdown, and it's frankly embarrassing how little that actually does to get the website not to accept those few contributions I still care to make.

It is as if the folks who run this place were getting a little desperate! - both for the "crowdsourced" unpaid work that goes into making this website worthy of interest, and for the last dwindling taste of what was once termed the "hacker spirit" by fringey weirdo ideologues like Stallman and Barlow.

(The idea that HTTP GET requests must be idempotent for safety, for example, has totally passed by this site's implementors and maintainers, or maybe never made a dent. Hence the subject of this very thread!)

In any case I regret the misplaced comment, and apologize for the dismay it likely caused. This website is embarrassing, and has just about run its course. Yours is not embarrassing at all, and I hope you're just getting started!

Not at all related, but I love your work! Your photographs betray a subtle, curious, particular, and respectful eye. Keep shooting!

You needn't; I just did.

Mr. Gackle isn't really all that frightening, you know. There's no need to fear talking with him.

"What an embarrassing website! It has just about run its course, hasn't it?"

> Also, when did we stop liking to learn?

When it got dangerous to spend that kind of time without a bullet-point deliverable.

Why assume people would not buy and sell Hacker News accounts?

Until now Apple hasn't addressed the mass market in nearly two decades. That's one human generation, and it is also the span of time between when something first hits and when it sees its first retro revival. That isn't a coincidence.

I'm starting to get a little excited! This is going to be quite a decade.

To say the least. Great catch! 'O brave new world, that has such people in 't.'

> Doesn't have to be. You can train it on normal pictures of children and nude images of adults.

You say this so casually, as though it were a normal thing to know, or as if a normal person would know it. Does that actually seem true where you live right now?

And how do you know that, anyway, Harsh? I mean, all those "unblocked" games you stole to give away and that you also put on Github, that's one thing. But this...
