   You might want to not invite your sockpuppets to vote and comment, it leaves this post in a very bad light for me. Close to flagging as spam but seeing as there are already other good comments and discussion, I did not.

   Maybe the JS loaded comments? I have had terrible experiences and crashes thanks for Disqus myself on many sites.

   That would be incredibly annoying on touch interfaces and generally not allow quick scanning of comments anymore. It would take a lot more time.

   Aye, that was my comment. :) I hope HN will come up with a nice solution to allow these kinds of comments but have them be less distracting.

   As someone who often makes these comments, were they declared offtopic somewhere official?

   It lacks some features (public shares for example) but works pretty well for personal syncing. It does not use torrents.

   They have a HTTPS part load HTTP content, probably your browser (rightfully) blocks that.

    I did not mean to have a comment that sits on top of the on-topic comments. If people upvote it so much that it does, it can mean something though. I would not call it bike shedding, it's a usability and security issue. I will always k

    Hyphenation. Browser support is not good and so words usually are not hyphenated which leads to stretching whitespace. http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-hyphens

    Considering that hosting javascript (and fonts and files) externally leaks information about your visitors to third partys hopefully some developers will care about their users' privacy and not do that.

    The reason why they provide icons for sharing is not to foster discussion but to generate pageviews. They probably have zero hopes for in-depth discussion but rather want their links spread to many places. Ad-driven websites work on pagevie

    I am currently trying to visualize the network of a moderately big forum: Users who post to threads. In Gephi I only managed to created blobby hairballs, any suggestions for other free tools? It's a couple of thousand users and a coupl

    I thought it was Bill now too because somehow the headline "sounded" like it was about something older.

    I would love to try it but it is proprietary and closed-source. So far I am very happy with Syncthing, mostly missing public shares.

    Sure there is a company (Whispersystems) doing most the work behind it. As they state: "dedicated development is supported by community donations and grants". This is good, it allows for very focused development.

    It is a term used by people who dislike videos in portrait orientation who spout things like "my eyes are horizontally next to each other, not vertically". I have no idea how it started or what it is so successful, people have had

    Take a screenshot and zoom in on text, chances are that you will see lots of subtly colored pixels around it.
