And the related discussion of said link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30374040

There's a real wealth of thoughts from dang about this site buried in there! Also definitions for MOT (Major Ongoing Topic) and SNI (Specific New Information) which I'd not seen before.

Direct link to Dang’s comment covering topics of “Major Ongoing Topic” and “Specific New Information” mentioned above:

Up until this moment I assumed Dang was a last name and visualized an asian person whenever the name popped up.

Cool article :)

I had always thought it was just what he said every single time he had to moderate.

I would love to see this "Emacs file" :D

Jokes aside, a nice article

Best wishes to all.

Happy Holidays! What is Bell's username?

Though per Dang, since sometime in late 2019, he’s no longer a HN mod:

* Might be wrong, but my understanding is that Dang is now the only official moderator, but others do help out unofficially.

Thanks to this comment, I found out about the twitter account @shit_hn_says, and what a finding.
