Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

But isnt it objectively superior?
Tabs just make it clean, what else does it serve?

Prevents non standard indentation, like accidental added spaces
Allows your editor/ide to choose how much space a tab is represented as, so a deeply indented line doesn't waste half your screen space
Prevents the 10 r-slurs on your team from using different standards because of their neurodivergent preferences

wait, you r-slurs actually use tabs in python code?
holy shit that's fricking awful lmao, just when you thought maybe the codebase isn't irredeemable
it's one thing to use them in languages where whitespace doesn't matter but imagine using tabs in a whitespace-sensitive language like python![:marseyemojirofl: :marseyemojirofl:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyemojirofl.webp)

Unless you code in literal notepad or IDLE, I've always been confused how anyone can actually make this argument.

You can use either or in Python but you can't mix them. That said, everyone uses spaces.

This was a plot point in the decent TV show Silicon Valley. However the tabs person used the tab key and the space person hit their space bar individually![:marseyfacepalm: :marseyfacepalm:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyfacepalm.webp)
I think trying to explain to writers “no there's no functional difference on the programmers end it's purely an encoding difference” was too neurodivergent for them.

If you use spaces you are actually r-slurred.

I have yet to see a single codebase, ever, use tabs correctly. That is, use tabs for indentation, and spaces for alignment, so that the tab width can be modified without fucking up the vertical alignment on shit.
I also have not seen a single IDE - not VS, not IntelliJ - handle them correctly either. They always assume something like "tabs = 4 spaces so every time you see 4 spaces just turn it into a tab". Then you look at the diff with
git diff
or something and nothing lines up properly because the tools use tabsize=8.oh but tempest: just set your tools to use tabsize=4! yeah well the whole point of tabs in the first place is to let users/tools use whatever size they deem necessary, if it looks bad with tabsize=2, tabsize=4, or tabsize=8, then you've fucked up your use of tabs.
anyways yeah death to all tabcels

Hi! It's good to see you're woke to the inherent micro-r*pe that is your sexuality, and it's even better that you've chosen to be a non-harming shut-in. I wish more white cis men would do this!
You should consider estrogen supplements to make yourself less predatory. As a white male, you having kids is problematic, yes, but have you considered adopting PoC children and trying to raise them non-binary? Just make it clear to them that any white cis male sexuality you accidentally display despite your estrogen supplementation is shameful, and just make it a habit to say "I'm so sorry. I am so very sorry." after every offence. You should also consider exploring cuckolding (with a marginalized minority man/woman/otherkin of course) if you still find your sexuality to be uncontrollable.
Good luck and welcome to the right side of history!
