This is an excellent example of the kind of advertising I actually don't mind getting. 1) Directly related to something I just said I wanted 2) You never advertise to me more than once. I wish more advertisers (or even spammers) worked this

I have GOT to stop reading these sorts of articles. They make it big because they are networked with the sorts of people who have money to spend (either by being a former employee of an acquisition-happy company, or being pre-vetted by

I would very much like a simple cheat-sheet of "standard" fonts and what range of sizes each looks best at with regards to webpages. Something that I can blindly follow when making the first draft of a site. Anyone want to share a link

Great work guys. Ride the rocket as high as you can! (You're missing an opportunity to funnel people to your site from your blog. You should have a little PR blurb and link at the top of the page) Also... Additional respect that you took t

Having too many feeds is just like having too much physical stuff in your life. I went through my list and paired it down to 100 (from about 300). That's still too many and I plan to cut it down even more... but it's a weight off my mind t

I sometimes wonder if the same thing goes on here, just on a smaller scale. It would be easy to set up... even to automate. Tangentially, I think it would be awesome to get a data-dump of all voting records for, say, 2009, of HN. Something

Are modern women somehow fighting against nature in the way they breastfeed? Have the "natural skills" been lost in the modern lifestyle? No to the first, maybe to the second. Evolution A/B testing only works at the level where

Yes, having too much energy in the grid is seriously a bad thing. No. The absolute worst thing that could happen is BPA failing to curtail power production spikes that end up disabling the entire network. If the spike of power is big and su

I suggest you consider two rules from journalism: Firstly, that your title should align with the broad story "I like Vim now / Vim is pretty good" as well as the specific story "The usual advice on how to switch is wrong". Your title stron
