I wonder if it's entirely coincidental that "KIRO" is a Seattle-area (amazon land) television station.

To use your analogy, this is more of "Show HN: Cialis - A modern alternative to Viagra".
You either care about Viagra and read or move on.
the irksome bit was this: lodash's page, first sentence, says "A modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance & extras."
this github's readme says "alternative to lodash". other than being named "superutilsplus", someone who clicked on it would need to then go google for lodash to see it's another js utilities kit, to then figure out they don't care.
I stopped professional javascript development when i stopped having an office next to Ryan Dahl at Joyent, so, yeah i haven't cared for about a decade. Thanks for explaining about atoms, though, my esteemed chemists.

lodash is extremely common knowledge in the js/web world. you’re asking a chemist to explain atoms before sharing their big discovery
No I’m asking a commercial that pops up in what I’m watching and says “ask your doctor if ciallis is right for you.” and gives no context but someone washing their tesla.

Biggest pain point: wtf is lodash? I don’t care if it’s in your readme, but maybe tell us in your HN hype post

i love this. A startup I was at during early COVID times got acquired into Hewlett Packard Enterprise, so we all became HPE employees with HPE addresses. There was a similar form there to request "ryancnelson"@hpe, etc...
One of my co-workers got cute and asked for "root@hpe.com" .... And boy, there's a lot of cron jobs running at HP.

Illumos, and specifically the SmartOS distribution.
Being ringside for the fork of Sun's OpenSolaris, and watching absolute geniuses steward a thing like that into a useful product and a build process was foundational for my understanding of how and why process is important, as well as how to get things fixed in the real world, while not muddying the idea of the pure design principles. A balance can exist!

naming things is hard. Googling for other things already named this shouldn't be.
> On my Windoze machines, on my Macs, on my Unixen, and maybe, if it's feasable, on my Newt2k.
what is Newt2k supposed to mean? Google isn't helping
Remembering Ray Arachelian (sunder)

WHAT?!
Aw, man that's terrible news that I'd not heard yet.
I worked with Ray in the late 90's in NYC. I remember that "I'm working on a Lisa Emulator" distracted us for an extra hour of geeking out during his job interview.
