HN has well informed opinions on technical issues. If your interests in tech extend to actually writing software, instead of just coming up with reasons why things are bad, then HN is a good place to browse. Also HN has some diversity of opinion, which may trigger some /tech/ readers.

>>545510

id say the HN often aligns with the SJW as was apparent when that "girls code better than guys" bullshit article was posted

>>545510

They don't allow shitposting on HN, which may also trigger some /tech/ readers.

>>545802

>escapist

That seriously damages your credibility.

>>545812

I think you'll find if you look at the rest of the link that not all of the escapist magazine is listed here. Only their hardware reviews are listed. "5 games that will give you a bigger erection" should not come up in the hardware reviews section. If it does then it will also disappear from my feeds list.

Also: the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Yes, it's a clickbait peddler. It's not even a good clickbait peddler. Good clickbait makes no pretentions about wanting to be a serious point of discussion, yet it's faggots like the escapist that try to blur that line. But... These peddlers are still a lesser vermin than Gawker. If you're hungry for mediocre clickbait, then go to the escapist.

I'd recommend LWN here, but it seems like halfchan's designated shillposters have Google alerts set up for keywords like "Outreachy" so it's becoming impossible to have a civilized conversation about it there any more without some hyperaspie showing up with a throwaway account to derail the thread.

They've actually had to start deleting comments outright for the first time in 20+ years. It's sad.

>>545510

HN is too cucked and full of webdevs and entrepreneurs.

For mainstream tech news it's hard to do better than Ars. The rest you can find out from the blogs of important people and development projects.

>>545941

>full of webdevs and entrepreneurs

True, but the freetard division is strong as well. A good rule of thumb for decent places is seeing if people disagree with each other. If the comments section is a massive circlejerk, move on.

>>545951

This can't be real.

6/10 effort for making me doubt whether the kind of client who visits 8chan would also visit Ars.

>>545952

'Flat Earthers Weekly' does not suddenly become a good publication just because atheist commentators frequently come to pound their shit in.

>"Does not allow anonymous meme-posting may trigger some /tech/ users".

>"Girls code better than guys bullshit article may trigger some /tech/ users".

Yeah, fuck 'em.

>>546004

It's not just about SJWs. Here are some ideas that are debated on HN where on /tech/ no one is willing to engage with opposing views:

1. Indian coders are competing legitimately in the free market, and are better value in some cases.

2. Not everything Richard Stallman or the FSF says is true (and not just that they are impractical or unrealistic, but that the ideas are fundamentally wrong). E.g. copyright is a natural right and equivalent to property rights.

3. Web development is interesting and important, and there is nothing stupid or unethical about writing web apps.

4. Technology replacing humans is not a bad thing, as basic income can fix the problem of distribution of wealth.

>>546045

>1

That's because 8ch as a whole is obsessed with that Loo meme. Once that dies off, people around here will probably be more likely to discuss that without being derailed by literal shitposters.

>2

I often see people here argue against Stallman and the FSF's views, and the usefulness of their software. It's difficult to actually discuss the merits and disadvantages of copyleft vs permissive vs copyright without being derailed by the various shitty memes associated with the subject; eg BSD is for cucks, GPL is a virus, everyone against copyright is a communist, etc.

>3

People here, as far as I can tell, generally only hate shitty webdevs who can't program anything worthwhile and rely on countless bloated libraries making even what should be a simple site difficult and slow to navigate or read. Which, unfortunately, is the vast majority of webdevs; which in turn pollutes modern web development as a whole.

>4

>basic income can fix the problem of distribution of wealth.

That isn't even /tech/, that belongs in one of the politics boards.

>>546045

> Indian coders are competing legitimately in the free market, and are better value in some cases.

That's a roundabout way of saying they only get hired because of costs.

>>546004

>the kind of client who visits 8chan would also visit Ars.

Maybe there is a broader spectrum of humanity than you realize.

>>546045

>1. Indian coders are competing legitimately in the free market, and are better value in some cases.

What's there to debate here? They cost 1/10th of an American because they're willing to live in places literally caked with shit. Do you want to compete with them for the best shitting streets?

>>546073

I would say it's the other way round. My statement is clearer, because yours could be interpreted as saying that the cost of programmer salaries is lower, but the code is so bad that the overall impact on the company is negative. I'm saying that Indian coders are cheaper, and that the overall impact of switching to them (taking into account both salaries, and the reduced quality of software) is positive, in some cases.

>>546069

On 1 and 2, I don't think we disagree strongly. I'm saying there is only one opinion, you are saying there are multiple opinions but the debate is derailed by shitposting.

On 3, that is really a no true scotsman argument. E.g. do you think people who use Node or React are relying on bloated libraries?

On 4, that might be the case but /tech/ has its own implicit political views, e.g. that there is a political program to flood the market with low wage programmers, or that current tech companies have a negative impact on the world. 4. is a view that offsets some of this (in my view) excessive negativity.

>>545360

>What are some good tech news sites?

What are some none ,good tech news sites?

FTFY

>>546045

1. The meme is not that i/n/dian coders aren't competitive. The meme is that i/n/dian coders always produce designated shitty work. And it's an accurate meme.

2. If copyright were a "natural right" equivalent to property rights, then copyright law would not be so disparate from patent law. Patents expire and force an inventor to keep on inventing. But copyrights expire for artists only when they die. And then +70 years after that. So that you can just sit there and cash in on the same idea from 1923 because making a new character that's as good as Mickey would be hard...

Proprietary code that you're not allowed to edit with my permission is shitty. It's shitty because if there's a bug in your pacemaker, then you're not allowed to modify it without permission. You can't fix your tractor. I'm surprised flushing your toilet is not an "illegal modification" to a copyrighted shit shoveller.

3. Yes there is, you know why, we've been through this before. You think I have NoScript just for the convenience?

4. I don't know about the latter, but I agree about the former. Transhumanism is key to better life.

>>546074

I have a top 10 list of poor fact-checking, which looks like this:

>Ars Technica

>Boing Boing

>Buzzfeed

>DailyDot

>Gizmodo

>TheGuardian - Technology

>Re/code

>The Verge

>Vice

>Wired

Not only would you have to have ignored the whole gawker hating your guts thing, which is likely to be the reason you wound up on 8chan to begin with. You literally picked the #1 worst piece of shit for producing lazy clickbait. Give me one reason why you wouldn't go to Techgage instead.

>>547448

You're right in saying that Indian code is not a guarantee for shitiness. But you can communicate with and determine the quality of an American's work. Whereas the likelihood of you being able to find a good Indian programmer is one in a billion. After all, the reason you're doing it is to reduce cost, not increase talent.

Speaking of /n/ memes, here is i/n/dependent i/n/dian science news: http://www.financialexpress.com/section/lifestyle/science/feed/

Even a financial fork of the indian express is better than Ars.

>>547653

Also I just noticed my top 10 list is alphabetized, not worst-least worst derp

Still, visiting any of those sites gives you AIDS
