Ah, thanks, I think what happened was that the asterisks were turned into italics and confused me. I think the message was edited to clarify.

- VogonPoetry 7mo agoThe post was fixed about 30 seconds after making it - due to the *s being interpreted as italics. It is a shame there isn't a preview button when composing posts.
- stavros 7mo agoOr just more sane markdown handling :/
- FabHK 7mo agoI've started multiplying with "x" here... 10 mm x 10 mm = 100 mm^2.
- catlikesshrimp 7mo agoAlthough there is a "clear" way of representing the functions, I have come to think it might not be as clear to many people. For instance (3m+5m)(2m)/(2(2))=5m^3

New Feature: Delay - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=231024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=231024 There's a new field in your profile called delay. It's the time delay in minutes between when you create a comment and when it becomes visible to other people. I added this so that when there are rss feeds for comments, users can, if they want, have some time to edit them before they go out in the feed. Many users edit comments after posting them, so it would be bad if the first draft always got shipped. Delay is initially 0. The maximum effective value is 10. It only applies to comments.
- VogonPoetry 7mo agoThis is fantastic info, thank you. I've now set mine to 5.
