I lent Greg a Minivac 601 for a week or so last month. He returned it in a big zippered bag, which I stole because it was pouring rain and I needed to bring the Minivac back to my car.

I was going to return it at the MIT swapfest in a week, but I think he can't make it anymore. Sorry Greg!

Well I'm even more 1000%%%%%% coming to the swapfest now!!!! My precious bag, haha.

Also, you are the most incredibly generous person for lending me that extraordinary piece of computing history!! I recorded its relay sounds and actual resistances. I truly cannot tell you how happy it made me.

Yes, even more greg stuff here, what the heck: https://minivac.greg.technology/

I’m obviously biased, but I’m also extremely grateful. Thank you!!!!

This is helpful but I'm worried about false negatives, are you working on more advanced greg detecting algorithms?

This is awesome! The idea can be generalized too:

- Highlight comments from a customizable set of particular authors

- Highlight commenters that reply within their subthreads

But of course, that loses some of the charm of working just for Greg :)

Please don’t turn this into an e-celebrity twitter clone with all that circlejerking, it would be even better to remove the authors name, just whatever the content/comment is posted that matters, someone might like a post from an author but don’t like the other post, seeing the author might prevent proper criticism or add bias, an author-anonymous contents are the best.

If you want an author-anonymous HN (posts and comments both), it's a one-line uBlock Origin selector,
