I really enjoy this site's design. At first I thought that LocalCDN was blocking some CSS/JS but to my surprise, no - it just looks that way. I like it.


I like everything about "no-css" style except full-width column. It's just too hard to read long lines of text.

Granted, it can be fixed by resizing my window.

*I also prefer sans-serif fonts but that's just my personal preference.


I'm glad I found this thread and thank you for not self censoring this time. I've very often done the same. And yes, the vBulletin style forums is something I really miss.

Why the downvotes? I am a Hindu and this is a sincere answer and actual way of having influence on where you're born. Any other ideas?


> I fail to see the benefit of subscribing to a viewpoint that is so black and white, and why definition that allows for no exception is necessary.

Maybe look at it in a different situation. Imagine someone punched you in the face and when you confront them about it they saying that you're holding to silly semantics about what it means or does not mean to get punched in the face.


Probably the time investment. It takes a lot longer for trees to be ready for harvest.


I'd say it's evidence based skepticism


Why didn't you restore the original comment? It doesn't seem to break any rules. The most frustrating aspect of HN is that there is no easy way to have meta discussion about the rules or the actions of users.

Honestly, HN seems worlds better than any other forum in this regard. Just the fact that dang responded to this post with information about the moderation process rather than banning the guy shows far more restraint and respect than any other internet moderator.


Eh... The moderator transparency here is very low. Even reddit has moderation logs.


At the same time, you can ask dang to explain any decision he's made and he'll give you a fair and reasonable (if sometimes mistaken) answer.


Here's an implementation of a prime finding algorithm in pure (only type-level) Typescript.

    type IsPrime<
      MaybePrime extends number,
      NumAsTuple extends unknown[] = [],
      RemainderAsTuple extends unknown[] = NumAsTuple,
    > =
      MaybePrime extends NumAsTuple["length"]
        ? NumAsTuple["length"] extends RemainderAsTuple["length"]
          ? NumAsTuple["length"] extends (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6)
            ? NumAsTuple["length"] extends (1 | 2 | 3 | 5)
              ? true
              : false
            : NumAsTuple extends [infer _, infer _, infer _, infer _, infer _, infer _, ...infer Rest]
              ? IsPrime<MaybePrime, NumAsTuple, Rest>
              : false
          : RemainderAsTuple["length"] extends (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6)
            ? RemainderAsTuple["length"] extends (1 | 5)
              ? true
              : false
            : RemainderAsTuple extends [infer _, infer _, infer _, infer _, infer _, infer _, ...infer Rest]
              ? IsPrime<MaybePrime, NumAsTuple, Rest>
              : false
        : IsPrime<MaybePrime, [...NumAsTuple, 1]>;


thank you! here[1] it is in action in the playground.

Cool. How large prime can it detect before it hits the recursion limit?

Which game? bzflag is the only one that comes to mind, but I am not a gamer.


I had Teeworlds [1] in mind but their game is tg Space Station 13 [2].

From the HN profile:

(/tg/Station13, based off of Space Station 13).
