Douglas Adams on the English–American cultural divide over "heroes"

Douglas Adams on the English–American cultural divide over “heroes”

In 2000, Douglas Adams made an interesting observation that I keep returning to. A user on Slashdot named “FascDot Killed My Pr” had asked the following question (where HGttG = Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy): Comedy….or Tragedy? First, a big thank-you. You’ve made a lasting contribution to “our” culture (or should that be “culture”?) I first read HGttG in my early teens. I doubled over laughing the whole time. I read and reread the entire series, bought both Dirk Gently books AND Last Chance to See. Loved them all and wouldn’t trade having read them for anything. (btw, the first mental ward scene in Long Dark Teatime is a no-foolin’, all-time classic.)

How the Lobsters front page works

Lobsters is a computing-focused community centered around link aggregation and discussion. The code is open source, so I had a look at how the front page algorithm works. This is it: $$\textbf{hotness} = -1 \times (\text{base} + \text{order} \times \text{sign} + \text{age})$$ $$\text{hotness} \downarrow \implies \text{rank}
