In that case, I think HN and its users would rightfully be in mocking mode having pioneered HTML, CSS, JS, a modern browser to run this all, widespread home internet capable of handling the heady 50KB of the front page and computing power of 10 Crays to handle that, all for getting into arguments about what to do with said self-invented JS, units of measurement, pedantry over careless phrasing, a poor grasp of economics, and of course on-upmanship for the karma, all while still not having learnt Lisp that'd already been around for 16 years. Quite impressive really. Less impressive than the last 1.5 decades that's been about owning others' data and lives while serving them short videos, increasing social distance while increasing social pressure, increasing off the clock, always on pressures, and thousands+ of highly educated peoples' livelihoods based around making spinning gizmos while another video loads. |
