   That looks great. I think they experimented with this idea on reddit aswell at an early stage. However it didn’t turn out to be beneficial. I unfortunately don’t know the details, I read about it in some comment on HN a while ago (I unfortu

   I just had this idea: How about making it really easy to be promoted to a volunteer down-vote moderator for an hour or so, just a button away. The task would be to downvote comments with mean and extreme language. The down-votes would count

   Did you have a look at the Firefox add-on Tree Style Tabs? It puts the tab titles on the left hand side, allows for grouping them and seems to be very stable. There are also a couple of add-ons that allow for exporting the tabs. That combin

   Did anyone experiment yet with a tree-like comment system (just like the one on HN) that completely hides comment points (even in the profile pages and to the users themselves)? To me it seems that, contrary to the intentions to achieve hig

   How about a program that watches for certain input patterns, takes calendar, location and maybe camera data to determine the best times to deliver push and email notifications without interrupting. Maybe one could figure out moments at whic

    Ha ha, there is probably some potential for a crazy project, however, the problem is that USB hubs and extension cords are comparatively expensive.

    Cheap china USB webcams are ridiculously cheap by now. I think it starts at about $2 on Ebay.

    That’s one way I thought it could be beneficial. I had two more scenarios in mind: (1) When handling multiple links at once I had the problem at least twice that I confused them. (2) Working offline made it difficult for me a couple of time

    I find these links aesthetically appealing too, however, it seems strange that the title is a sub-path of the item ID. I think something like this would make more sense: /items/7536719-ask_hn_mods_can_you_make_submission_u

    My thought was that it could just match ^\d*?(?=-) and ignore the title. I think the adantage of the dash over a separate parameter is that it would look more compact and the advantage over achors is that it does not misuse the URL semantic

    Here is another single datapoint (but supported by a peer-reviewed paper!): I just bought blue light blocking glasses which I put on at around 9 or 10pm every day. They look goofy but it seems to actually work! It’s like a real-life Flux ap

    I think a lot could be won by reducing complexity of the systems. In modern operating systems we stack too many abstraction layers ontop of each other. Emacs is a great example of a development environment which prevents a lot of complexity

    I think this article forgot to emphasize the act of reading documentation which probably takes 25% to 50% of the time programming. I think Google and StackOverflow already greatly improved it but maybe there is still room for improvement. M

    I think you read too much negativity into these comments. None of them said it is a bad idea.
