same. I read through publications of my institute for my MS (EU, pretty big tech-focused university) and they pretty much also cite in circles (same institute and other related institutes of our university).


There are also ethnic/cultural circles as well (Chinese students come to us to study with Chinese professors who only cite other Chinese papers).


would be nice to have the collaboration feature something like LSP with an easy to implement protocol. I can see that being useful but you gotta let the people choose their tools too. If I can run neovim/jetbrains/visualstudio and can connect to someones Zed Collab protocol beacon, that would be awesome af for at least the basic features (file browser and seeing live edits). This whole notes/chat thing can stay a specific zed feature IMO


must disagree. A bloated company is the killer of innovation. Job security is no indicator for innovation. In fact, the most unsecure job produce the most innovative Tech (see Startups).


This viewport is very misleading. Startups don’t produce the most innovative tech _because_ they’re less secure.


In a way, it's natural selection that drives evolution, by removing the unfit genes from the gene pool. This is arguably more important than mutation, and mutations would accumulate to be catastrophic over time without natural selection.

Startups that survive tend to be more innovative than other companies because other, less innovative startups were less secure than comparable departments within larger corporations that were also low on innovation.

The death of all replicators is unchecked random entropy.

What? You can host a personal website for free. People are just not interested in it


Dresden has a really good university when it comes to computer engineering, too. Plus it realtively cheap compared to other regions in Germany (like Munich)


What? I have the black bar on every HN Page... Dont think this is what he thinks


That's how it works. It's exactly what he says it is.


I still don't get how it is done.

1. How do you track which day had a black bar? By web.archive?

2. How do you associate the day to a specific post? I guess this should be fairly easy, albeit kinda manual.


The page itself says

This list was compiled using a simple Python script that recursively requested HN's Algolia search API for posts containing "has died". For each relevant hit, I pulled in snapshots from the Wayback Machine to see if the HTML document contained the black bar element at the end of the day the post was created. It's possible there are names missing.

> Occasionally, there will be a thin black bar at the top of the top bar, in memoriam of a significant figure in the tech/science community dying. A Hacker News submission about the death will usually be on the front page at that time.


Thank you for explaining. The thin black bar looks like a bug with layout to be honest. I would rather get rid of orange for the sake of clearly indicating that something sad has happened.


that is literally the format for "perspectives" publications in scientific journals


and it's rust again. What is this, like 8th year in the row??


I find this strange too. GH seems to have more major incidents lately...


I always use your API to place images when I need to show something! Thanks haha
