> I think there needs to be some rule in discussion that as soon as you start arguing over if someone is dumb or evil, you have to stop.

I really like this, and I propose it be called "Kulak's Law".

Hey David, I'm adding your TIL page to the list/site/project I mentioned upstream in this thread (a sortable collection of TIL pages and notes).

> I see publishing in increasing sizes of granularity as a pipeline (notes → tweets → TILs → blog posts) where each prior step helps inform the next step. To paraphrase a British proverb: look after the TILs and the blog posts look after themselves.

I really like the way you've expressed this point and I'm hoping you won't mind if I quote you somewhere on this new site, either on the homepage or about page?

Thanks, Saverio! Your page is now on the list! I had a look through and your notes are great as well.

Thank you for the excellent job you do here, Dan, and for taking the time to explain decisions. I know from moderating another, much smaller community, how difficult and thankless of a task it can often be. But thank you.

Is there somewhere that the inner workings of HN upvoting, flagging and moderation are detailed so that people can understand how it all (or most of it) works?

I understand that some things you'd want to keep mum about to avoid vote manipulation.

In any case, I hope you have a great week.

Hey Simon!

I love the concept of "learning in public" and I absolutely love what you've done here. So much so that I am now creating my own TIL page and have also decided to create a webpage listing links to TIL pages, with TILs sortable by category, interest, topic, person, date etc.

Your page will of course be the first on the list. If anyone else has a TIL page (or is planning to create one, or knows of any other great TIL pages) please reply with a link and/or follow me on Twitter @TILpages and I'll follow you back and find your page! Or you can use the email address in my bio. I'm excited! I think this will be a fun project.

P.S. And I just realised, Simon, that you are the co-creator of Django, the framework I am currently learning. Ha! What a beautiful coincidence. Only on HN could this happen.

Anyway, thanks for Django and for providing the inspiration for this project :)

When you move overseas, wouldn't you take anything with sentimental value onboard with you as luggage? I can't imagine being too devastated to lose books or whatever other larger items people take when they relocate overseas (assuming that you would be compensated for the monetary value of lost items and be able to replace them). In my experience, most sentimental items are small enough to easily fit in a suitcase.

However, on second thought, I suppose some people would have more and larger sentimental items than I do, like large vases or antique pieces of furniture and so forth.

Is it possible to pay extra to have a very large flotation device attached to your shipping container? :P

I think any future generations will likely have more advanced technologies for finding stuff.

And hopefully somebody figures out how to find my glasses.

Okay, who's joining me for an expedition? Finders keepers, right?
