Some (most?) of the folks who hang out here have been exposed to these type of contents for decades. For example, I started out reading Byte, Creative Computing, Dr Dobb's Journal, Compute!, old copies of the Whole Earth Catalog, etc among others, voraciously when I was a teen.
With the demise of the dead tree medium, I and my fellow geek brethren found HN as an alternative, to find crowd sourced and curated articles of interest.
Give it some time. It will all start making sense.
