What is so wrong exactly with basic material? Sure you might know CSS inside out, but I'd be willing to bet some people here could learn something useful out of it. The rest of us that already are familiar with it get a quick refresher in under 5 minutes. Positioning and the box model are at the core of understanding CSS layouts. Sure it's not the next cool thing and it certainly isn't advanced, but I'd much rather browse a Web where people understand layouts properly, than one filled with a lot of the trendy, over-complicated crap that fails at the basics. We have to be careful with that basic = not challenging = not geek-worthy attitude. A beginner reading HN comments will most likely emulate it and miss out on the important stuff.
