I haven't been on Hacker News long enough to speak definitively about the current state of HN (a bit less than two years, but I spent the first one lurking), but I would be more concerned about comments that complain about 'HN changing' (as someone who was on Reddit to hear complaints about all the Diggers... then all the 4chaners.. then all the high schoolers..) than content considered 'elementary' to smarter programmers than I. I notice that you haven't submitted any links. Is there any particular reason why? If you're not pleased with the content on the site, why don't you submit better content? (For what it's worth: this content is news for me. I never spent much time thinking about IP addresses before clicking the link and getting confused for a solid minute. I understand what binary is, though, I promise!)
