Hello HN,

I become active Hacker news at the start of year, its been incredible journey so far. I have learn so many things from computer science to psychology to economics etc. Thanks for all the contribution and best of luck for future. Happy Holidays.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I tend to lurk a lot, but this is one of the few programming communities where I don't expect to be met with negativity and condescension every time I post something. And beyond that, just reading everyone's discussions has easily helped shape me into the person I am today. Thanks for the past few years and many more to come!

You must be new here. Wait until the negativity and condescension kicks in.

I read HN since 3 years. I've created my startup 1.5 year ago. I think that says it all. Oh and I had revenue from day 70, currently cash-flow-positive, and I've taught a lot of people what bootstrapping means. Thank you, community.

This seems as good a place as any to point this out: take a look at the numbers on the frontpage.

At the moment now it's default orange again. Xmas theme turned off?

Gleðileg jól!

To get a jumpstart on my New Year's resolution, time to air some grievances (with myself)!

1. Dammit Xan, when are you going to finish up those unit tests for tänzer? You're holdin up the actual 0.1 release!

2. I can't believe you haven't started implementing your bytecode VM yet! Are you waiting on a freaking miracle, or just piddling until you figure out whether you want to make classes and functions defined at object code load time, or have opcodes for registering classes and functions at runtime?

I can't go home until I wrestle myself in this year's Feats of Strength and get code for my VM, birchvm, up and running.

Merry Christmas and thanks for being with me every single day in 2014.

[dataminer]

Merry Christmas to you as well.

Merry Christmas! I've thoroughly enjoyed lurking at HN for the last year. Looking forward to another year of interesting articles!

One of the few places left where comments are worth reading. Thank you, all, and Happy "whatever makes you happy". :-)

HN is the reason I'm a reasonably good programmer. Happy Holidays everyone!
