Yea, I discovered this site late last year (2024) around October, and it's now a site I visit everyday. At least 4 times a day.

Happy new year from a rainy Manchester, UK!

Happy New 20¼ Year!

Same. I've been a lurker since 2008. Been hitting this site practically every day since. I've learned so much in the process. Thanks for everything hn, happy new year!

Aah. Same class I see :) Hope everything has gone well for you since. Happy new year!

Ditto!

I’m a long time lurker (under old defunct alts) and occasional poster but I’ve opened HN almost every day since I discovered the site in 2008.

This community has an outsized impact on my career and life and I’m eternally grateful for it. Thank you!

Happy new year and eine Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr.

Long time lurker here, too. It has become a central part of my daily routine. Happy new year, HN!

this is such old news ;-) (in North Queensland atm, New years was nearly 10 hours ago :-P )

One of the best sites, period!

Happy New Year from the West coast!

> Happy New Year from the West coast!

This was around 18:10 PST so the greeting may have introduced a race condition.

Happy New Year anyway, logic be darned!

Given all the division and change across the rest of the web (and by extension the world), glad to have a place where I can learn, share, grow, and maintain an open mind.

Happy new year :)

Same, happy new year.

Happy New Year from Europe!

HN is our backyard for learning & understanding new perspectives. To all - ಹೊಸ ವರ್ಷದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು!!

ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಹೊಸ ವರ್ಷದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು

Happy New Year, whether you celebrated it in the past or the future.

Remember - the new year is not yet written. Amazing and unexpected things are sure to come.

Shout out. Crossing fingers for 2025.

Reading some Peter Turchin, not looking good.

The days are getting longer in the northern hemisphere and shorter in the southern hemisphere. And the start of the ISO 8601 dates is changing!

I also monitor the changes of the hexadecimal unix timestamps. The next time the first of 8 hex digits changes is in 2029.

    from datetime import datetime
    '{:02X}'.format(int(datetime.now().timestamp()))
    datetime.fromtimestamp(0x70000000)

And this spits out the year in Python: 3**2**2*5**2

Even better, all of these are also 2025:

(20+25)²

(∑n)² and ∑n³ for n 1..9

Nice. A unique year indeed, since the last one was 1936, 89 years ago. It's obvious to me now - that's 2025-(45*2-1) and I can picture a row and a column at the edges of a grid being removed, wth one cell being shared between the row and column. I think maybe at some point I saw that. 1600 and 2500 are more obvious, and 2050 is the midpoint between them linearly.

The others in Python:

    sum(range(1, 10))**2
    sum(n**3 for n in range(1, 10))

happy new year from tokyo

Couldn’t agree more. Stay classy HN, have a happy & healthy 2025!

To what's to come :)

With a new year / с (наступающим) новым годом / з новим роком

Happy New Year!

I know so few of you but feel like you’re my best friends. Love to all.

Happy new year / Andariki nootana samvatsara subhakanshalu!

It would've been better if you had written that in the original script. So, I'll do that for you ;)

If we are going down this road, let's go all in and be specific :) its

I'll consider the previous one as advanced wishes for 30'mar 25 ;)

Feliz ano novo!

Logged in just to say happy new year, also a lurker :-)

Have a HN Year HN!

Happy new year from the US South y’all.

US Central Time here, so still a couple hours to go, but HAPPY NEW YEAR to y'all fellow HN-ers -- HN is probably the least guilt-ridden procrastination I do on the whole wide internet. Thank you to every one of you who has made HN among the most intellectually dense places on the web -- I wouldn't be where I'm today without reading all the insightful comments, submitted links and perspectives of all the HN-ers over the last 7 years.

My wish for the new year: hopefully, AI singularity is still a few years away and doesn't happen in 2025!

Amen!

My wish for the new year is to have a body so jacked and ripped that when I commit a crime the media posts my shirtless pictures everywhere and everyone goes "wow".

Indeed, happy new year to all the intellectually dense people on HN!

;P

"Dense" is a curious choice of words, but I agree, it often applies!

Happy New Year. I hope 2025 brings the best to you and yours!

Happy new year, HN!

Happy new year from a torrential north England!

Stay amazing HN, and have a brilliant 2025.

What are the chances of an extinction level event occurring in 2025? By now, that's about the only black swan event left to happen.

Probably fairly low because the future is still talking to us so there have to be at least some timelines extending from the present that make it

Other than Demolition Man, what is talking to us?

Heh, Demolition Man is a great film. I had the fortune to randomly rediscover it before it was recently re-recognized as incredibly prescient. It was a cool experience, made all the better because I was totally surprised by it. I had zero expectations and just thought it was a dumb fun action movie. It was actually great.

But as to your real question: well, tune in, man. :)

167725-1

++year;

    setYear(year => year + 1)

For the "get off my lawn" crew:

    $('#year').text(Number($('#year').text()) + 1)

don’t start the year by mutating state, geeeeeez :)

It's not mutating state, it's defining a transition function from one immutable state to another!

[year, setYear] = useState(2024)

Get off my lawn means no libraries, just web api.

year = year + 1

2025 seems pretty cool so far, you 2024 people will like it.

Happy new year everyone.

Same here. Am a forced lurker here as somehow my posts just never go beyond to anyone like it once used to.

Happy Year++

I'm thankful that this site exists to allow me to catch up on the news, events, and perspectives that I'm most interested in. And I'm even more thankful that it uses a simple, functional layout.

Keep rockin' into 2025, HN!

> Happy Year++

You mean Happy ++Year of course ;)

I joined in late 2024, now its my daily!

Happy New Year HN!

Thanks for teaching me so much <3

Welcome to the addiction :)

No regrets :D

Happy New Year everyone! <3

Happy new year 2205 HN community!

I love you, my favorite site ever.

I typo'd the year, but now I cannot change it as I consider my comments immutable.

Even a typoed comment is right once every 180 years.

It warms my heart to see all these New Years wishes. A happy one to you all!

Although this is just the usual digits incrementing periodically, take the opportunity to look back, reflect and hope for a brighter future for you, your friends, family and rest of the world.

It might be just digits but it stands for a far more complex idea - time! Just because people like discrete things and discrete things never capture the nature of our continuous universe doesn't mean it's less special!

Thank you all for the timely information and most importantly useful opinions.

happy new year HN :)

Feliz año 2025! Por más años para este sitio!

Happy New Year to all of you my fellow HN readers!

Happy next year. My sincere wish: All 4 horses ride right by us all.

Happy New Year, HN!

Happy New Year HN!

Happy New Years from Louisiana! A few hours to go still here. I'm glad that Hanukkah and xmas happened on the same day this year. Hoping for better health, and a new job in 2025. I met a new woman, and I hope that pans out.

Just read this, bittersweet now but thank you for posting this as I read it from New Orleans.

May you walk into each day of 2025 with joy, courage and creativity!

Happy New Years, y’all!

Curious to hear if anyone has any specific goals/resolutions/things they’re especially looking forward to in 2025.

i prefer a theme[1] over goals. my this year's theme is learning - which i'm starting with learning to cook more novel dishes.

[1]: CGP Grey's video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVGuFdX5guE

I’m going to write more. I’m going to start with a basic log of daily events. Jerry Pournelle called this a life log. Basically, home or car maintenance will be noted (eg changed air filters today or rotated tires). I’ll note any phone calls of note (like talked with Comcast support today about X). Mundane stuff like that.

I’d also like to get back in the habit of maintaining an engineer’s notebook at work. I’ll probably do that on my iPad so I can paste in images or make drawings.

I’m also going to journal a little more. A hope to write at least one entry per month. I might combine this with my life log.

45^2 = 2025

Happy perfect square year, everyone. The previous one was 1936 and the next one will be 2116.

This is the most Hacker News comment I’ve seen today. Well played.

Up there with Putnam and Dropbox.

Putnam? Of math competition fame?

Yep, specifically this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35083

Thank you for the Putnam; I did not know about it. For anyone else that did not understand this reference; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35015. Legendary.

That's an epic thread. Thank you very much for sharing it :)

And now, looking back 17 years later, I'd say he succeeded. It's the tarsnap founder.

Indeed! And it was so much fun when dhouston popped up in the thread :-)

And "Less space than a Nomad"

Totally nothing bad happened in the decade following the last perfect square year in 1936. :')

Well things have already been a tad rough around this square, so if we follow the trend, the next square might turn bad even sooner. So maybe around, I dunno, 2101?

Unless something equivalent happened in 1849, 1764, 1691... I think we're OK :)

1225: ten years earlier, Magna Carta starting to limit monarchs and the seed of individual freedom

1681: eight years later was glorious revolution with a bill of rights, marking individual freedoms

1764: ten years later, beginning of American Revolution and being free of monarchs

1849: ten years-ish later, start of US civil war; was the time of an attempt by the British to end slavery around the world

1936: ten years later, colonial empires were being dismantled, UN established to attempt global cooperation, US in the ascendancy with a seed of ties being established more by economics than military force, great economic upswing lifting people out of poverty (60% in poverty then, 10% now) while the global population blossoms

2035: Majority of the global population in middle class or better, triumph of individuals over technocrats, bureaucrats, and corporatists :)

I love this! Haha, I was hoping someone would do that. :)

2025 = 515 (palindromic in base 20)

Also, (20 + 25)^2 = 2,025! Happy New Year :)

This decomposition is especially fun!

Python:

    [x**2 for x in range(32, 100) if int(str(x**2)[:2])+int(str(x**2)[2:]) == x]
    [2025, 3025, 9801]

Great to know that someone else too keeps track of squares.

At the ages of perfect squares is when we all cross or achieve significant milestones in our lives as children, students, (young)adults, spouses, parents, grandparents, senior citizens of society and so on.

This year being a perfect square, I wish that it will be as much or more special as it was for everyone at those ages.

My youngest is fascinated by squares at the moment. Luckily for him, he is 4 years old, his older brother is 9, while I just turned 36. He will be delighted when I tell him that we are entering 45 squared!

Also, if you add your ages together… 7^2

If you multiply your ages… 36^2

2025:

1) is a square: 45²

2) is the product of two squares: 9² x 5²

3) is the sum of 3-squares: 40²+ 20²+5²

4) is the sum of cubes of all the single digits: 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³

5) sum of the single digits squared: (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²

Some more (thanks to chatgpt-o1)

6) sum of the first 45 odd numbers: 1+3+5+...+89

7) is a Harshad number: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harshad_number

6 is kind of cheating. It's a restatement of 45^2.

3^2 is the sum of the first three odd numbers. 4^2 is the sum of the first four odd numbers. 5^2 is the sum of the first five odd numbers.

Edit: sorry, don't mean to be a pill.

89 isn't 9^2, 81 is.

Huh? 89 is the 45th odd number.

4 and 5 too

How so? I'm too dumb to see it.

The sum of the first n cubes is always the square of the sum of numbers from 1 to n. For example 1³+2³+3³+4³=(1+2+3+4)².

You can prove it by induction; just expand (n(n+1)/2)² – (n(n-1)/2)², the result is n³.

I don't consider it cheating, I bet most of these rules have an internal relation.

They do indeed have an internal relation - they all add up to 2025.

Obviously all the formula will be equivalent to each other. They are, by construction, all restatements of each other.

I guess that means that every number is equivalent to a formula? Is there some sort of metric of how many formula produce the same number?

You’d have to at least exclude subtraction and division (and zero) to not have infinitely many formulas for every number.

I would say that a rule is "cheating" iff it is implied by another rule for any arbitrary N.

I think that it is a nice observation. Some people complain that explaining the formation of a rainbow scientifically makes it lose its "aweness" but I think it even deepens it.

Actually, property 5) trivially implies 1) but also 2), as `(1+2+...+n)² = n²(n+1)²/4` and either n or n+1 must be divisible by 2 hence one of the squares divisible by 4 hence it is a product of squares. But also property 4) as `(1+2+...+n)² = 1³+2³+...+n³` (easy to show by induction).

8) the sum of 2024 + 1 also

(just reading wikipedia here, I didn't know about Harshad numbers)

There is no such thing as a Harshad number, there is a _Harshad number in a given base_. All integers between zero and n are n-harshad numbers.

Which is a pity, because apparenty it means the `joy-giver`. I think human kind could use a joy giver year

Oh I like these two.

How do people find these kinds of things out without idly brute forcing things?

here’s to all be alive and well floating in amniotic liquid living in VR paradise

Donald = Donald E. Knuth? ;-)

US President number 45 returns, kind of seems like squaring applies.

Happy New Year from Malta! Thanks for all you have taught me over the years.

Happy 2025 to all :D

Happy New Year !!

Happy new year

The Orange Site is so easy to poke fun at, but remains the best site on the internet. Happy new year, folks. Hope it’s a good one

> the best site on the internet

You know the internet has porn and discount bulk goods on it right

For me, HN is the social platform/media I can enjoy for breakfast or breaks. Allways somethibg interesting to read without the temptation of infinite scrolling. I am grateful for that and for the cool articles y‘all write. Happy NY!

Happy New Year y’all !

[delayed]

Happy new year!

You guys are really great.

Happy New Year to all of us

For many reasons bigger than this place, Happy New Year!!! You deserve a great 2025 - have a good one!

tnx mods! https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/th...

I created an account in 2022, but had been a regular reader much earlier. From Slashdot in 2002 to Digg in 2004 to Reddit in 2010 and now HN. Happy New Year (+30). Here's to a personally productive 2025!

I wish you a year covered in hot grits in Soviet Russia, being spied on by old people via email.

My Canadian constitution isn't very fond of grits. But, "when in Russia..." I suppose.

Happy new year folks!

Happy Gnu Ears, Y'all!!

Merry 2025! My goals for next year are to write more and try to change the world for the better.

Spending the last day of the year without electricity was a huge wakeup call that big changes are needed. It has left me wondering why fusion energy has taken so long to develop, so that's a topic I'm really interested in exploring.

Many new reactor types coming online 2025. Will be an interesting year ...

I visit HN about 10 times a day. Mostly, I’m a lurker—this site has been an invaluable source of knowledge for me. Thanks to everyone who makes it great :>

Happy New Year! Buon anno a tutti!

Don’t forget to enable those anti-procrastination settings in 2025! :-P

Ha! I’m working on it :>

Happy new 2025 = (20 + 25)^2 = (2 + 0!)^2*5 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)^2 = 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 + 8^3 + 9^3

> = (2 + 0!)^2*5

How?

0! = 1 so how does 3^2*5 become 2025?

It doesn't, you need to square the whole thing.

(2 + 0!)^25 is only 45 on my account, should be ((2 + 0!)^25)^2 :-/

Happy new year, everyone’

Happy New Year HN!

Happy New Year!

Y'all make me happy. Happy new years!

Happy new year all! Thanks everyone for helping to uphold the high quality interactions found on here. To a good 2025!

Martyn, same, happy new year to everyone. This year will be the year that I've been visiting this site almost daily for 10 years.

Wow. I can remember the days that I just came for the science and not the technical stuff because I found it too hard. Then quickly later using the technical articles to accelerate my computer science studies and now it just feels like I can dive into anything.

Love this place <3

Happy new year!

Happy new year to all the HN members! Thankful for this site's existence and for all the knowledge and wisdom I gained over the years just by being here almost every single day.

As the clock ticks into a brand-new year, let’s toast to the innovators, the builders, the thinkers, and the dreamers who make this community so vibrant. Here's to:

- Writing elegant code and tackling tough bugs. - Exploring new frontiers in tech and beyond. - Learning, sharing, and leveling up together.

May this year bring you breakthroughs, discoveries, and joy in every pull request and project.

Keep building. Keep dreaming.

Happy New Year, HN!

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m incredibly grateful for this amazing community. Your informative posts and insightful comments have taught me so much, and I truly appreciate all of you. Here's to another year of learning and growth together!

Happy 2025 all HN'ers! I'm a daily HN'er - It's my only source of news apart from occasional YT vids, but what a brilliant source of news it is!!!

I frequently find myself saying: 'Yeah that was on HN a few weeks ago'! It's so up-to-the-minute and really just wholeheartedly good! Dang is a goddamned legend in my opinion I can hardly believe it works so incredibly well and it's surely mostly from dang's good work! Thankyou dang, so much!!

I think calendars (especially the gregorian) are fairly approximate things so try not to assign too much meaning to the number ticking-over these days.. sun/moon/earth/nature didn't care that our numbers ticked-over very much did they? But still, in order to be able to talk to others we have to try to store our memories using dates as keys (I'm actually really crap at that, but still!), so HOORAY for the next approximate-date-memory-key-era!!

Much love to all teh hackers! You are all awesome! Even the black-hats!! Curiosity FTW!!!!

Been here since 2010, worked at multiple YC companies. Shout out to @dang, he has done a great job keeping the community healthy.

Me too! I find myself saying 'that was on HN a while ago' very often, actually.

Happy new year to everyone!

Happy New Year may the next be the best one yet....

Happy new year to everyone, hacker news is more than my home page. This community is awesome!

Happy new year to readers who are fellow humans, to any bots who, unbeknownst to us, can already experience happiness, and I guess if any gorilla, parrot, elephant, or dolphin is having this message communicated to them, happy new year to you too. Let's hope all our respective species keep existing.

I told my crow friends happy new year and I'm reasonably certain they know today is special even if they don't get why. [0][1] (this is just one and I offered peanuts first but it stared me down and did not budge until I put out beef)

I'm grateful for this community. It's good having a place where some reason prevail.

I wish everyone here had a good one and has a good one.

Merry 2025!

Well said. This is the only quality discussion forum I’ve ever seen on the internet; in fact given the common trend of other forums I’d given up on it being possible. Then I learned the magic formula: the hard work of smart and active and moderation with empathy. Thank you dang.

And thank you to everyone else for being generous and smart contributors.

I wanted to humbly second everything said. Honored to be here, and contribute whenever.-

2025 is going to be an interesting year - and I wish for y'all the best.-

Happy new year fellow humans, wishing for more love and a healthy 2025!

Happy New Year!

Discovering this site was one of the better things the internet has given me. Happy new year!

In US PST, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, all! Here's to a happy, healthy, and productive 2025. I hope you all achieve great things in the year to come!

Happy New Year from the Pacific coast!

Halt new year! May Good bless you richly in your pursuits and may He bless the work of your hands.

A late night but the most sober New Year's Eve I've had in twenty plus years. A single glass of Ruby Port in the neighbors and that was it, kind of proud of myself on that.

At some point I'd drink a lot, but then alcohol stopped being fun. Instead of happy, it just made me tired. Now I drink much less, so that I get a bit of buzz, but not enough to get sleepy. The flipside is that earlier I'd know that I'd get completely wasted on the weekends and stay sober on weekdays, but now there's this voice "you can drink one beer on weekday too", but then I just make myself some tea.

Similar story with weed, except I can't dose it, it's either nothing or completely baked, so I'm switching from "baked from Friday evening to Monday morning" to "one evening per two weeks". The worst part was the brain fog, I could feel myself becoming more and more stupid.

Probably I'd enjoy a lot some stimulants, but virtually all of them are highly addictive, so yeah. I do LSD every now and then, which is super fun because it does have a stimulating effect, but it's something you can only do every few months, so yeah.

Same, just a couple of small beers and a glass of champagne.

I feel much better today than a year ago, where I was hangover most of the day

Happy new year to all of you, fellow visitors of Internet best website.

Happy new year 2025!

Happy New Year to all the hackers!

2025 will be the year in which a certain operating system is used on desktop machines.

Indeed, I just upgraded to kernel 6.13rc5, and now everything works perfectly! Just in time for New Years!

Yes, 2025 will be the year of the Haiku desktop!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope this coming year you’ll find the meaning you’re yearning for, spend it with people who deeply care for you, love and be loved. That you’ll flourish, feel content and happy. That you’ll experience more good than evil.

Learn OCaml in 2025

Happy New Year to All.

Happy new year as well, even though it already started for me on the 21. of December on Solstice, when the days were starting to get longer. That is a real turning point in the natural cycle and I like to follow natural cycles where possible. 1.1. is just arbitary numbers changing to me, but for the majority it means something, which also makes it real and I can appreciate the intent and celebrate anyway..

(And I did had an awesome drug and alcohol free party with self made music and wild dancing)

I live near the arctic circle so the bit of sunshine we gain every day makes a real difference. I'm also in complete denial on June 21st, absolutely refusing to acknowledge that the days get shorter.

Definitely a fan of non-religious winter solstice celebrations (good occasion to combine elements of Christmas and new years). My wife is Chinese and loves dumplings so we pretty much celebrate Dongzhi. Always goes down well with our western friends.

How can I be where you are

Well, have the connections to groups that officially do not exist.

Otherwise check out ecstatic dance for a similar vibe. (If you were refering to the wild drugfree party)

Happy new year from Amsterdam. Thanks to everyone for the good times all these years!

It's almost like an echo chamber now, but Happy New Year HN! :)

Happy New Year!

Besides family breakfast, brushing teeth/shower, opening HN makes a good morning better, and an okay start into what will hopefully be a great year.

Here's wishing everyone out there: 1. happiness, 2. purpose, 3. love, 4. health, 5. peace, 6. good flow, 7. clean code ;-).

Happy Hacking!

Happy new year too, from Poland!

Happy New Year to you HN, this year feels like it's going to be more important than usual.

Seconded, somehow it does.-

Thank you all who are reading this for a wonderful 2024.

I hope 2025 is a year of real changes in terms of progress, peace and less polarized world.

For the record, I'll try my best for personal and professional growth.

I don't know you all but know that I love to read your thoughts on HN. I open it like 20 times a day. I enjoy that I am here with all of you to witness our existence together. and that includes AI bots. You are also part of our shared world now. I hope we will be kind to each other as far as it matters.

Happy new year everyone!

Hey HN, Im recently create my account in this forum, and I just really want to enjoy new friends, with the same objectivies than me. Im just really enjoy algoritms, I have five years of experiencie, but my anxiety and my burnouts doenst allow me to level up, but now I believe I have all necessary to just be pacient. To 2025 Happy New Year, to us, ping me, Im be happy if I get new friends. BTW: My english is horrible, Im from Brazil with accent of Indian guy mix with a lot of sheet.

Meaningful communication between real people, a interesting mix of experts and learners. This should be so much easier with all the fancy digital tools we have now available. Yet HN is nowhere near the norm but rather a rare exception.

Lets hope its a pattern that spreads more broadly in 2025. We are already getting past the first quarter into the 21st century after all.

Happy new year, brothers in code! :-)

Happy new year HN!

Wish you all a prosperous 2025 filled with kindness and love.

Happy New Year to one of the most informative and interesting communities on the interwebs!

About 64 million people die every year, congrats on not being one of the 150,000 that die every day. May your luck extend for another 64 million.

Only 13 more years now 'til 2038! Maybe we can still fix that problem! But feel free to take today off, hackers.

HN has, within a few years, become one of my primary sources of information for all things related to technology and many other intellectual topics. Not least because of the many knowledgable commentators. Happy (20+25)² to all!

Happy New Year, the one community I visit almost every day.
