chem VS hn-search

I'm working on computational chemistry, with the very long-term (decades) goal of designing molecules (proteins/enzymes) for things like artificial photosynthesis and molecular computing (chips still rely on the bulk properties of semiconductors; for miniaturization to continue, at some point it will become necessary to design molecules to function as logic and interconnect).

Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

I understand the reason for repeating these sentiments—it's the same reason why they get upvoted to the top of threads*—but repetition of this kind is what we're most trying to avoid here.

I was looking for it in the guidelines. There are a couple of conventions for postings. Consider a bit of prior examples: [https://hn.algolia.com/?q=show+hn]

yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search

https://hn.algolia.com/?q=postgres+clustering

only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)

but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D

Like dismissing the work of Feyerabend or Wittgenstein without seemingly having read either:

If it's not [flagged], there's no flagging and hence also no flagging ring. baybal2 has been banned on and off for years now https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

The submitted title was "Gary Killdall, creator of CP/M, wrote Pixar's original 3D renderer".

Submitters: If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

Vision therapy for myopia helps some people, but not everyone, likely due to genetic and neuroplasticity differences, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Nevertheless, many of the principles are useful for children whose eyes and brains are still developing.
