Enable the `showdead` option. He was hellbanned for voicing a dissenting opinion in a thread about sexism.
So you can be silently banned on HN for simply expressing an unorthodox opinion? What a great fucking community.
lol he probably killed himself after Rob Pike humiliated him on the golang mailing list. I bet he did it on the anniversary of Dennis Ritchie's death too. Fucking faggot.

Looks like Plan9/Sam/Go considered harmful after all.

Uriel has a fragile ego and a well-documented and highly disturbing man-crush on Rob Pike. There's no doubt that the post had an affect on him. It was the last time he posted there.
According to a Reddit comment, this was on cat-v's IRC channel:
[17:23] <hiro_> I'm very sorry to tell you that uriel has died peacefully a few days ago after having arranged everything very carefully. [17:24] <hiro_> Until the end the thing he feared most was how his friends will cope. Please don't be too sad. [17:25] <hiro_> Remember all the many worlds in our minds that he created and that never need to go away.
So he committed suicide.

Exit bag?

Barbiturates are powerful sedative pills, if you overdose on barbs you have a chance to actually die, unlike other pills which will merely make you a vegetable or a retard.
Most right-to-die groups are starting to recommend exit bags instead of barbiturates, since they're becoming increasingly difficult to get.
You can buy an oven bag, tubing and a helium canister very easily. It's peaceful, painless and only takes a few minutes. People are just opposed to it because they don't want to be found dead with a bag over their heads.
