As I was scrolling through I started to notice a really nice, subtle star background pattern that wasn't moving. I thought that was a really nice touch.
And then I touched my monitor and, turns out, it was just dust.
There's a metaphor there but I have no idea what it is.

- oe 13y agoPlease don't complain about HN turning into Reddit. It's not.
- nrivadeneira 13y agoNone of the ancestor comments are in the spirit of HN. They're much closer to the kind of comments found on Reddit. See: "The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: both civil and substantial. The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consideration that hadn't previously been mentioned, and by giving more information about the topic, perhaps from personal experience." http://ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html http://ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html
