Is this really what's considered good content on HN at this point? I come here specifically to avoid junk like this.
Disappointing.
Disappointing.
While I didn't mean for this to blow up and was merely venting, I'd like to think my unreplied vim-regex comments were good contributions and valid content for the HN community.
And just for you: Five years ago, the front page had "House sabotages net neutrality", "lawyers suing over We Shall Overcome", "Haitian cholera epidemic started by UN peacekeepers", "coffee shops signal urban change", "how the law is tracking down prank callers", "Merkel allows lawsuit against German comedian"... oh, and a new minor version of Jupyter and Tera were introduced.
I'm sad that you remember HN being different back then.
