Exactly, and it even adds up quickly for a single user in common cases like voting on a bunch of comments while reading a thread. If someone loads this thread right now, the initial page load is 61KB (gzipped). If they read down the thread

How could it possibly be considered a good thing? I've seen dang say before that they've been running into performance issues, and I bet that they'd see a significant drop in resource usage solely by not generating entire com

That frontend code already exists and does that every time you vote (line 27 of https://news.ycombinator.com/hn.js ). The response content isn't used for anything at all.

I think they were just talking about the design. HN is certainly a lot more active and successful overall, but it's extremely minimal for both design and functionality (which is part of its appeal). Tildes's design has a lot more

Definitely (open for anyone else too) - there's no messaging on HN though, so just send me an email to the address in the announcement post: https://blog.tildes.net/announcing-tildes

Thanks! I'm honestly a pretty terrible designer overall and there's still a lot that's bad about Tildes's design, but it's slowly improving. There are some major changes coming soon, and hopefully those will help so

Sure, of course it can be much worse, and almost all other sites are. I'm just saying that HN could do it better, because there's no need for it to send a redirect or that full-page response unless the user has JS disabled. With J

Whoops, you're right, it does work either way. The response is the same with or without JS though, it just doesn't do anything with it when JS is enabled (because as a hacky way of doing "AJAX" it sets the voting url as

No, voting doesn't work at all with JS disabled.

HN is lightweight in some ways, but also quite bad in others. For example, every single time you vote on anything, the site sends back a 302 redirect and then a copy of the entire page's HTML in response. This means that every vote res

Does your JS do something differently than HN's native comment-collapsing? You can just click the "[-]" at the end of each comment's "header".

This is a good post about how bad the modern web is getting for people with slow/unreliable connections: https://danluu.com/web-bloat/ That was written two and a half years ago now, and things have only continued

Generally, the best way to handle this is using the public suffix list: https://publicsuffix.org/ org.hk is an entry in it, which means you should display the next section "up" from that, so that would be hkispa.o

So many people comment--on everything, not this post specifically--without reading anything more than the title of the HN post. They basically treat the title as a "topic suggestion" instead of reading the article itself. It'

It's a huge problem with the current SPA trend. Sites are re-implementing all sorts of basic functionality like scrolling, links, and form inputs and invariably do a myopic job of it where they only implement basic functions or ones th

That doesn't matter much. The largest difference is that the majority of people access social networks through mobile apps now, and Google Trends can't reflect that at all. For example, Facebook shows a 71% drop worldwide in Googl
