I'm forever intrigued by the mind's ability to discern patterns. Today I realized that just from the few examples that appeared on HN, my mind has - quite unconsciously - locked on the combination of google.com in the site slot and a title about programming and its methodology. "Oh, it's that yacoset person", my mind tells itself without words, and I feel a little jolt of recognition-cum-disappointment (for the pieces are usually fluffy and fussy). I distrust myself, and so I hover over the link to make sure, yet so far the pattern has held without fail.
