tech/science swag.
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.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

Bro I'm scrolling through that subreddit and it's a fricking trip.
Check this out: https://old.reddit.com/r/developersIndia/comments/1b8moof/i_am_tired_of_the_overworking_collegue_in_my_team/?sort=controversial
OP is bitching about his coworker daring to actually work hard and get stuff done, and whines since it exposes the rest of the team's laziness. And the overall sentiment in the thread is that OP is right and the "overworkers" should be pressured to be lazier. They actually hate competence it's unreal.

It's the weirdest thing I've noticed as a novice, since I've been getting into coding as a side hobby and trying to learn the ropes. Because I'm going self-taught and a good portion of that is watching YouTube for tutorials, I'll either get something like a lecture from a college that was recorded and posted online or I'll get an Indian guy talking in very stilted English who filmed the tutorial on Bandicam and made code that even I can see is absolute dogwater. It's the weirdest disparity. I knew Indians were disproportionately in tech, but I at least assumed they'd be good at it.

Whatre you learning?
Also in my personal (based) opinion, reading documentation and articles is waaaayyy more helpful than any programming video

At the moment I'm sticking to the baby shit. I'm trying to get more up to speed with JavaScript and Python more than anything, since it's good to start with and because LLMs are going to hit my industry like a truck in the next few year and I'd want to get ahead of the curve as far as integration and proficiency beyond just prompt engineering. Dabbled a little bit in C++, but I'm going to be honest it's a b-word. Otherwise I've been looking a little bit at Rust and OCaml for the heck of it. I played around with Prolog a bit one weekend, and I enjoyed playing around with that a lot since I really enjoy symbolic logic, but it seems like more of a playground language that new languages folded in than anything actually useful.
A lot of the learning process has been viaosmosis and picking up the gist of things by going through GitHub. That's been most beneficial imo.

Really dabbling in a lot of languages there lmao
Jump in the discussion.

Yeah, there's probably a better way to go about it practically by either just mastering JavaScript or Python instead of being decent, and then thinking more about Rust/OCaml/C++ as legit considerations instead of divesting some time reading up. But it's enjoyable to sort of bounce around and get more of a general grounding.
I look at it a little like how if you have a Ford and you have to fix Ford, then you'll get really good at getting the gists of Fords, Lincolns, and Mercurys. But if you have a whole garage of cars of different makes that you can toy around with and see all of the little quirks, then you're not going to be getting that toolkit a professional would have, but you'll be reasonably equipped for adapting to quirks of systems or whatnot as far as flexibility and knowing which make does what best.
Though, I'll be honest, it's too early to where I can't tell if the legos generalist mindset cross-applies to coding. My approach might be the flat out wrong one.

Whats your end goal for learning programming? Are you trying to actually build things, understand how computers work, maybe both?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
More of the former than the latter, but ultimately both. It's part hobbyist, part wanting to learn more. But there's still the thing where in the long run, as LLMs become more prominent and more jobs have core aspects digitized, that I'd rather get ahead of the curve. Not sure if that makes sense. But it's essentially one part peepeeing around and making crap that uses APIs or is just gimmicky, and then another part trying to get somewhat of a grounding to broaden my skillset.
