my fingers automatically just start typing in "news.y" when I'm idle, I definitely didn't know what to do when greeted with a 404!
Is there any way to put the HN homepage on an edge cache so at least the homepage shows up? Or am I admitting that I'm addicted to checking HN too many times a day?
- h2odragon 6y agoAdmitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, right? I'm sure I've heard that. Dunno how it's supposed to help.
- rossdavidh 6y agoYes, that's what you're admitting. :) Not that you're alone in that...
- breckinloggins 6y agoIt's gotten so bad for me that I'm down to just "n". I think I have a problem.
- slater 6y agoi was gonna say, check out that n00b that has to type all the way to "news.y" for the browser autocomplete! :D /s
- axaxs 6y agoLOL, same. In fact, every site I visit often is one char + enter in the browser. With the exception of W, being east of the Mississippi every station starts with W. That got me to thinking about 'first letter advantages.' If a site has a first letter not currently in use, I'm much more likely to visit it more often(mostly out of boredom, sure). V and X are still available if anyone is wondering. Zillow got Z!

- jrockway 6y agoI used to use a web browser with Emacs keybindings, so visiting a URL was the same keystroke as opening a file. I'd type "C-x C-f news.ycombinator.com" quite regularly, and my fingers still go to that "n" when I visit a file in Emacs.

- theshrike79 6y agoJust don't type "news." and hit enter, it'll redirect to some domain squatter crap and it'll be stuck in your autocomplete for a while =)
