  • +1. The joy of camping (for me) is that your experience is directly related to your preparation. You plan your location, activities, meals, sleeping arrangements, and companions, doing all of the research and investment up front to make each of those work well, taking into account weather and conditions, and then you get to enjoy a trip where everything goes well with people you care about, with the satisfaction that the experience that you are having is the direct result of your actions.

    Of course, the pain of camping is that any and all of the above can go wrong, and then, indeed, it’s probably gonna suck.









  • I’m not sure how OP decides whether to x-post something from HN (manually? randomly? vote threshold?). But in the Matrix example it’s pretty common for HN users to post a project page as the article and then use the comments to discuss the project. In this case it looks like a fair number of users upvoted it but no one had anything to say.

    It does seem confusing now that I think about it, if you aren’t familiar with HN. It has its own weird little culture and rules. I generally like it there most of the time.

    If you click the [comments] link instead of the post link, it’ll take you to the HN comment section which is often more interesting than the article.
