The way I remember it, it was like this site but more frequently updated and focused mostly on Haskell:

http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/

If you read a few rows down on that page, you'll see this:

"For the debate about MS being evil, you can head directly to HN where you'll also find an explanation of what bootstrapping a compiler means."

And that about sums it up. For a while I didn't even create an account because I didn't think I could add anything without sounding stupid compared to everyone else. Now I try to refrain from commenting for...different reasons.

Same here. Though I refrain less.

At some point, I'd like to go and find my first comment on here just to see what got me to make an account.



That is the most disappointing thing I have seen all day. Oh well.


People keep saying how much better HN was, but I'm just not seeing it: https://web.archive.org/web/20071115044647/http://news.ycomb...


Good catch, articles are saved as well.

I don't notice a shift in tenor from the crowd of old and the one we have now.
