    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?

    I haven't seen Greg's stuff before, but I discovered Disco through this, and it looks neat:

    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 :)

    Hi Greg it's you!

    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,
