Can you define "here on HN"? Are you suggesting that the submitter is a shill for patio11? Or that a community member can't sell anything? Or if it a product makes it onto the HN front page, the seller needs to remove the price?

Yeah, the premise about user behavior in this post feels wrong. I never browse the app store by searching. I search for a specific thing by name and it's normally a top result. I browse by category.

See my post above though, even Kickstarter's Guidelines say there is a legal obligation to deliver.

This comment stuck in my craw a bit, and I'm trying to disect the comment and why it bothered me. I have backed several kickstarter project, received the results of a couple, funded a project via kickstarter and promoted several projects.

I know for one of the games I work on, the chat-commands/command-line interface is one of the most popular user interface features for power users. And the main reason is what you suggest about navigating and clicking. Admittedly, in a ga

Hmm, the AT&t prices are too high based on their new mobile share plan. $70 for 4 gigs and $40 per smartphone with unlimited talk and text. http://www.att.com/mobileshare

On my iphone, clicking an image opened as a tiny thumbnail at the top right and I couldn't navigate to the other images. A lightbox that worke on desktop and mobile smoothly would be great. But this doesn't see to be it. (and even better, a

Aren't some programming celebrities more like rock stars than they are like an average programmer? They (can) demand high pay. They tour events and people come to see them. They get press coverage. People are excite to download their la

My immediate thought was, "Neat, I'm going to add this to my feed reader and see how it progresses." Followed by... "Hmm, no RSS link." (view source)... "Huh."

Wow, yeah. On my screen, on the homepage, "PixelInvaders DIY Led Panels Kit" is larger than my screen.

I think the name is the only reason I remembered it long enough after hearing about it to try it and eventually switch. I have had no issues recommending it.

Maybe Joe or Tina the other developers. Or maybe it was Mark or Cheryl from systems. That said, in my experience, this doesn't end up being a common issue because people do the sensible thing and add the new field to the end of the file, s

The author doesn't imply that it's attractive or useful, just that it's the average of all the fonts on this system. He even jokes that the name meaning "mechanical breakdown or damage" is somehow appropriate. This is, in some ways, the so

I think this part of the README is relevant: Thanks to Jason Scott and Tony Diaz for successfully extracting the source code from a 22-year-old 3.5" floppy disk archive, a task that took most of a long day and night, and woul

I understand your concerns here, but I'm also wondering about the 8k figure. Isn't it closer to 3k? (1.45% medicare and 6.2% SS?) I'd be interested in more background on the industry. My experience is that, exempting cleaners hired by la

I will admit that it's my preferred way to install things like this. I can look at it and see what will happen easily. I will also admit to disagreeing with the poster suggesting that it should all go to ~/.meteor. I kind of hate that typ

I really enjoyed this article, but the interesting thing to me is the need to rationalize why things like MMOs fade away. It seems like they have a natural life cycle. This guy didn't bring Star Wars Galaxies down. The developers adding

I really wonder how much end users care. If you exclude end users that are, say, either reading hacker news or paying people to create web sites. Of my biased selection of wife, father, mother, brother, I will frequently see them browsing

I pay about $1500/month for a family of four. Admittedly this is an HMO group plan in NY as opposed to a high deductible plan since we have some pre-existing conditions that preclude a non-group plan. Yeah, not cheap.

I noticed this and was pretty disappointed, the chrome extension and unread new comment number is the only sane way I've found to follow conversations. I also love using the site for finding stories.

Huh, I did this just now and it's the top result. Screencapped: https://img.skitch.com/20120105-x7fb17is53yx99pw61bfur6g57.j... edit: Ah ha, it only shows up if you have safe search off.

Just commenting to second the comments about the donate button being invisible. I tried clicking the paypal logo, and nothing happened, and at my brower's width, it overlaps the button. Luckily, I found it, but I almost just closed the wi

I was confused about your point until I clicked the first reference. You made a slight misquote that change the whole quote. Good enough is the enemy of at all.

I love this idea. Do you have a source where Hemingway describes it? I wonder if others have suggested this under other names (I see the Red Test Pattern below.) I know when life forces me to do this, it works very well. The trick is doing

I was always very religious about backing up my music purchases, and generally removing the DRM, but had never done so with eBooks. Your comment (and this article) just inspired me to figure out how to do this, and backup all me eBooks in a

It doesn't feel like a dirty truth, just common sense. If you have already proven yourself to some entity (person, organization), then you have a higher chance of them tapping you for future needs (jobs or contracts). Just like I call the

I wonder if "acceptability at work" also would skew those vs ars or the internet at large. My gut would be that much of the IE browsing includes browsing at work.
