Happy perfect square year, everyone. The previous one was 1936 and the next one will be 2116.
1) is a square: 45²
2) is the product of two squares: 9² x 5²
3) is the sum of 3-squares: 40²+ 20²+5²
4) is the sum of cubes of all the single digits: 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³
At the ages of perfect squares is when we all cross or achieve significant milestones in our lives as children, students, (young)adults, spouses, parents, grandparents, senior citizens of society and so on.
This year being a perfect square, I wish that it will be as much or more special as it was for everyone at those ages.
(20+25)^(20/(2*5))
My wish for the new year: hopefully, AI singularity is still a few years away and doesn't happen in 2025!
;P
I’m a long time lurker (under old defunct alts) and occasional poster but I’ve opened HN almost every day since I discovered the site in 2008.
This community has an outsized impact on my career and life and I’m eternally grateful for it. Thank you!
Happy new year and eine Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr.
(And I did had an awesome drug and alcohol free party with self made music and wild dancing)
Similar story with weed, except I can't dose it, it's either nothing or completely baked, so I'm switching from "baked from Friday evening to Monday morning" to "one evening per two weeks". The worst part was the brain fog, I could feel myself becoming more and more stupid.
Probably I'd enjoy a lot some stimulants, but virtually all of them are highly addictive, so yeah. I do LSD every now and then, which is super fun because it does have a stimulating effect, but it's something you can only do every few months, so yeah.
I feel much better today than a year ago, where I was hangover most of the day
I frequently find myself saying: 'Yeah that was on HN a few weeks ago'! It's so up-to-the-minute and really just wholeheartedly good! Dang is a goddamned legend in my opinion I can hardly believe it works so incredibly well and it's surely mostly from dang's good work! Thankyou dang, so much!!
I think calendars (especially the gregorian) are fairly approximate things so try not to assign too much meaning to the number ticking-over these days.. sun/moon/earth/nature didn't care that our numbers ticked-over very much did they? But still, in order to be able to talk to others we have to try to store our memories using dates as keys (I'm actually really crap at that, but still!), so HOORAY for the next approximate-date-memory-key-era!!
Much love to all teh hackers! You are all awesome! Even the black-hats!! Curiosity FTW!!!!

Happy New Year! Buon anno a tutti!
I wish everyone here had a good one and has a good one.
Merry 2025!
And thank you to everyone else for being generous and smart contributors.
Happy new year :)
I also monitor the changes of the hexadecimal unix timestamps. The next time the first of 8 hex digits changes is in 2029.
from datetime import datetime
'{:02X}'.format(int(datetime.now().timestamp()))
datetime.fromtimestamp(0x70000000)
In 2025, I hope we can continue to push the boundaries of innovation, tackle complex challenges, and learn from one another. Whether it's through elegant code, groundbreaking research, or thought-provoking discussions, I believe this community has the power to make a lasting impact on the world.
As we reflect on the past and look towards the future, let's remember the values that have made Hacker News so special - a relentless pursuit of truth, a commitment to intellectual honesty, and a genuine desire to uplift and support one another. These qualities have been the bedrock of this community, and I'm confident they will continue to guide us in the years to come.
Here's to a new year filled with breakthroughs, discoveries, and the joy of creating. May 2025 bring us closer together, sharpen our minds, and inspire us to reach new heights. Happy New Year, Hacker News!
I'm thankful that this site exists to allow me to catch up on the news, events, and perspectives that I'm most interested in. And I'm even more thankful that it uses a simple, functional layout.
Keep rockin' into 2025, HN!
You mean Happy ++Year of course ;)
అందరికీ నూతన సంవత్సర శుభాకాంక్షలు!
Happy New Year HN!
Thanks for teaching me so much <3
Happy new year!
You know the internet has porn and discount bulk goods on it right
Spending the last day of the year without electricity was a huge wakeup call that big changes are needed. It has left me wondering why fusion energy has taken so long to develop, so that's a topic I'm really interested in exploring.
Curious to hear if anyone has any specific goals/resolutions/things they’re especially looking forward to in 2025.

I love you, my favorite site ever.
This was around 18:10 PST so the greeting may have introduced a race condition.
Happy New Year anyway, logic be darned!
Wow. I can remember the days that I just came for the science and not the technical stuff because I found it too hard. Then quickly later using the technical articles to accelerate my computer science studies and now it just feels like I can dive into anything.
Love this place <3
As the clock ticks into a brand-new year, let’s toast to the innovators, the builders, the thinkers, and the dreamers who make this community so vibrant. Here's to:
- Writing elegant code and tackling tough bugs. - Exploring new frontiers in tech and beyond. - Learning, sharing, and leveling up together.
May this year bring you breakthroughs, discoveries, and joy in every pull request and project.
Keep building. Keep dreaming.
Happy New Year, HN!
I know so few of you but feel like you’re my best friends. Love to all.
Besides family breakfast, brushing teeth/shower, opening HN makes a good morning better, and an okay start into what will hopefully be a great year.
Here's wishing everyone out there: 1. happiness, 2. purpose, 3. love, 4. health, 5. peace, 6. good flow, 7. clean code ;-).
Happy Hacking!
Hex 37 (int 55) years Since Epoch (Jan 1 1970)
Lets hope its a pattern that spreads more broadly in 2025. We are already getting past the first quarter into the 21st century after all.
Learn OCaml in 2025
I hope 2025 is a year of real changes in terms of progress, peace and less polarized world.
For the record, I'll try my best for personal and professional growth.
Remember - the new year is not yet written. Amazing and unexpected things are sure to come.
Reading some Peter Turchin, not looking good.
Only 13 more years now 'til 2038! Maybe we can still fix that problem! But feel free to take today off, hackers.
With a new year / с (наступающим) новым годом / з новим роком
Stay amazing HN, and have a brilliant 2025.
Happy New Year to all of us
