This tone is not very suitable for HN. I’m sure you could start a better discussion if you gave it a proper try.

If you ever need to generate a gradient between colors in any of your code, interpolating colors in the Lab color space is an awesome option. A simple linear interpolation of the components gives impressively beautiful results.

(Although, like several other commenters, I do recommend OKLab.)

Snarky comments like this would be better suited for reddit or other platforms.

I hope you participate in the conversation in a better manner in the future.

I wonder why the parent comment is downvoted. To a layman like me, it sounds completely reasonable.

Maintaining an exact copy of RNA/DNA through generations and generations is a real challenge, right? Loosening up the copying mechanisms to allow for more mistakes would probably be quite easy to achieve, if that was beneficial, right?

I’d be interested to hear what makes the idea wrong.

Please don’t.

I think your original hunch is correct. This is a little too stackoverflow-y.

This is not a very helpful comment. And nobody knows anything about JPEG when they are born.

Have you actually tried this?

I think this is not related at all to the linked article.

If you have a story about this, could you post it as a separate link and see how it does on its own? Trying to hijack other threads with politically loaded stuff usually goes sour here.

Hacker News isn't all about tech or startups. It's about things that interest the tech & startup crowd.

One of the best things about HN is how joke comments aren't usually upvoted, even if they were funny. It makes room for other kinds of conversations.

I think the ”hello#greet” part is there to be consistent with Rails route mapping.

As a standalone syntax choice, it makes little sense. But for a RoR developer, it’s obvious.
