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!
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.
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.

Only sort of related, but I fricking hate Eclipse and think people who use it are r-slurs.

I think the last time I heard someone mention Eclipse in a serious capacity it was like 2012?
I guess dark matter devs could be using it but I'd assume any Java dev with any functional brain would have moved to JetBrains ages ago - hopefully Kotlin too.

The last company I was at people were still using it. It was mind numbing.
I haven't really had to do anything with Java since college, thankfully and hadn't even heard about Kotlin.
It makes me happy to know it exists and sounds like I'll never have to use Java again, that's pretty cool.

That is pretty dreadful. Dark matter developers who've been banging out Java for 20 years as a 9-5 never cease to amaze me.
Kotlin is pretty amazing according to some Java-brained friends.

I learned a bit of Java in eclipse long ago, but we used a different version (standford edition). It was (and is) lot faster than the official one, but the day I found out about notepad++ and used it I said FRICK IDE's in general.
I went and downloaded the stanford edition a few months ago cuz I was learning some android dev but I guess they dropped support between droid and eclipse so I just went back to cli compiling and I think ima just stay here.
Nothing beats simple and effective :)

it's not even that bad after getting used to a few tricky concepts it actually feels more comfortable to write. But, I've not written anything that spans more than a few files so I'm sure I'll find out why it drove a dude crazy enough to use C to make php lol literally wrote his way out of C

I use TickTick because it's a Todo list + Markdown notes + Calendar in one app and integrates all 3 of those things together. Also I need cloud syncing cuz I use it on mobile for shopping lists and cocktail recipes.

I've used literally every GTD/TODO app available for MacOS and it's my favourite cuz it works and is fast

It's not a post about text editors he's looking for a notes app. You can write notes in a text editor but plenty of people want more than a Notepad and most of the video is talking about specialized apps or text editors with markdown note plugins + databases/version control
The ticktick app is primarily a TODO/notes app with a calendar built in

That looks neat. Does it let you arbitrarily open new text tabs without requiring you to save/name it? It's one of the best features of notepad++ and I expect me to drop windows when win10 ends :\
