It's missing that extra "superficial hipster" touch, though, you have to admit.

  Why do you feel the need to tar the person who offered this as a "superficial hipster"?

    My reading comprehension might be off here, but I think guywithabike was pointing out what he thought I wasn't. As in, making a compliment.

      "I like the current design better." "It's missing that extra "superficial hipster" touch, though, you have to admit." Seems pretty clear.

        I think you're quoting two different HNers.

          Yes, I was, for context.

    I didn't call godDLL a superficial hipster -- I said (with, I hope, abundant sarcasm) that Hacker News was missing the superficial hipster touch. I said so because the re-skinned version feels A) superficial (the primary difference is simply the change in typeface), and B) hipster (using Helvetica for the sake of Helvetica). Is it ok if I don't like it? I hope I'm not breaching protocol here -- that would be awful. If godDLL is offended, I'll promise to next time better structure my criticism with kind words and phrases of subtle encouragement rather than snark and sarcasm.

      Not offended, and differences of taste aside -- quite the opposite -- happy to know my English is good enough to spot sarcasm when I see it.
