Indeed. I've been on the HN front page a couple of times with Jekyll generated sites ( http://os-blog.com is one). Hosted on an Amazon micro instance (613 mb) and served by nginx, none of my sites have broken a sweat under the increased tr

Seriously, wtf is up with removing "Save As"? I had to copy the text from a file I was working on and paste it into a new file because the "Save a new version" option wasn't doing anything. One you missed: really horrible auto-correct featu

You can choose what things you find offensive. If you choose to be offended when someone uses profanity, that's your problem, not mine. It's not my responsibility to protect the world from potentially offensive things.

If you are thinking about putting together your own CAPTCHA solving program, as hinted at near the end of the article, keep in mind that it may be illegal to break a CAPTCHA without explicit permission under the DMCA. I'm not a lawyer, thou

I'd like to see more people on the "New" page. I'm not sure how much attention it gets compared to the front page, but it seems like very few people are taking the time to wade through all of the submissions and upvoting the gems. Essential

It seems to me that most of the issues are caused by too few ideal HNers watching the "New" page and up-voting quality content. Instead, primarily controversial submissions manage to garner the necessary number of up-votes to make it to the

We're mostly in agreement. My point is that dropping out isn't a particularly easy path to choose. It's not a good default for most people. I'm not trying to say that you can't be successful as a drop out. If I believed that, I wouldn't hav

I don't have any substantial regrets, but it's possible that those will come with time. I sincerely wish that I could have made college work for me, but I think that I'd have to be a substantially different person for that to happen. One th

I dropped out of school last semester, so I think I can add some (unique) perspective. Maybe I will flesh these thoughts out into a blog post later. When considering dropping out of college, you're the one who is ultimately responsible for

Anonymous communities existed before rigid identity on the web. Those anonymous communities clearly provided some kind of value to their members and, thusly, must be considered useful. How, then, can you argue that rigid identity is a neces

The stuff Wikileaks has released has had all the really sensitive stuff (like, names) removed, right? So, then, isn't the threat that Wikileaks represents mostly indirect (i.e. it might incite civil unrest if people knew what their governme

I, too, found myself susceptible to reactions based on karma score and, personally, it wouldn't bother me at all if the scores never come back. If given the ability to view karma scores, I would leave them off, since I'm self-aware enough t

I agree that it has improved the civility of discourse. Have you considered allowing users to turn karma display back on once they have reached a set amount of karma, much like other features (such as downvoting)? I imagine that, as long as

By 2050 it's estimated that over 50% of the world's population will live in "chabolas" - i.e. in semi-urban shanty towns with no formal infrastructure, yet still very close to major city centers. So distribution is increasingly less of a p
