This looks quite useful to me. Feature request: allow the user to select separate colors for the relative and absolute line numbers, and for the slash. So three separate colors in total. That would make it easier to read. Another idea is

There are a large number of Google employees and stock holders on HN, and it would not be at all surprising if they leapt to Google's defense for non-technical reasons. It would be enlightening to see the defenders of Google disclosing
