The Travel Writer's Dilemma: Share, or Gatekeep?

news.ycombinator.com Pico Iyer 2026-03-11 01:14:22

No reviewer of books or movies faces this predicament, and if an overlooked novel or documentary suddenly wins recognition, most of us rejoice. But destinations are fragile, on several fronts — many can’t bear the weight of thousands. While sailing around Antarctica, even as I marveled at its otherworldly beauty, I was selfishly glad that not many visitors are permitted there, so precarious is its environment. Sometimes, therefore, I simply delight in the fact that my tastes are not the same as

“Don’t mock what you don't own” in 5 minutes (2022)

news.ycombinator.com Hynek Schlawack 2026-03-11 23:04:21

Once upon a time, I made a stupid joke on Twitter about the Don’t Mock What You Don’t Own testing principle: Only mock what you own, because mocking others is rude. — Yours Truly , Tweet While it didn’t get me fired, it led to me being tricked into giving a 5 minute-long talk about it.

I Wrote a Compiler

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-11 11:28:18

I have a Computer Science degree. I attended a whole course of lectures on compilers (and have a certain fondness for “the red dragon book” as a result). However, I had never actually written a compiler from start to finish until a rainy day last weekend. Yes, this is what I do for fun. I wanted to make a compiler for a real language, but a simple one so I could complete the project in a few hours. I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for BASIC - it’s the first progamming language I learned as
