What's wrong with simple categories for comments... Informative, Funny, Flamebait, etc.

Thanks for posting about ML! I made a post similar to yours a couple of years ago and got downvoted, lol.

A sense of humor is desperately needed in these pages. Thank you.
I went to a Montessori school from pre-K through 6th grade. I totally agree with this article. It is not easy to make this work on a public school-sized scale. The problem in education is not funding. We were a private school, but we made it work on a shoestring.

The tools I build for Claude Code keep reducing back to just using Claude Code and watching Anthropic add what I need. This is my tool for brownfield projects with Claude Code. I added skills based on https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/09/superpowers/

Remapping my CAPS LOCK key to the ESC key is the greatest keyboard hack ever.

Ditto. I avoided Docker as long as possible and look forward to the day it is replaced.

LOL

It's somewhere in between. Said struggle is where they learn. Guidance from seniors is important, but they need to figure it out to grow.

No, the AMA, though not perfect, is an excellent organization that benefits our healthcare.
Re:How the American Medical Association Screws Doctors on Thursday March 27, 2025 @12:47PM (#43495439)
Thank you for sharing this side of the story so well. The truth is that the AMA keeps the quacks out and standards high.
Re:How the American Medical Association Screws Doctors on Thursday March 27, 2025 @12:45PM (#43495425)
The AMA keeps the quacks out, to say the least. I know this is not a popular stance on HN.

This is why we can't have nice things. Restricting access or making it a little more difficult preserves goodness for real people.

Perception is reality. (For better or worse.)
It's a great mental exercise. Reading it, my opinion alarm went off. (Thank you for the source material!)
I think only discovered. It was always there, but someone(s) just had to do the work to find it.
Nothing is invented, only discovered.

Re:ReMarkable launch Paper Pro, a colour e-ink tablet on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @01:53PM (#41448531)
I need a stack of these to replace paper. The great thing about paper is that it's easy to look at several pieces simultaneously.

Why is this article on HN?
Nobody has used that type of insulin for decades.
Nobody has used those for years. New engineered insulins like Novolog have been going down in price for years. They can make tons of it now.
Which insulin?
Re:What happens if you swallow gum? on Monday June 17, 2024 @06:05PM (#40711628)
My child went through a phase of swallowing a bunch of gum. He got appendicitis. It might have been a coincidence. The article does not mention appendicitis but some of the symptoms are the same as intestinal blockage.
