   12px Verdana measures 'squinty' on a high-rez display, like that of a new MacBook Air. I always had trouble reading those tiny drug inlays, because they are printed with what looks like ants. And if you blow the page up, it don't look so

   I actually tweak everything around me all of the time. It's a big part of what I am as a person. I do drive-by tweaking like this as well. Gangsta tweaking.

   Not offended, and differences of taste aside -- quite the opposite -- happy to know my English is good enough to spot sarcasm when I see it.

   That's fantastic, thank you. I'm updating it to eventually be reasonably cross-platform and cross-browser as well as mixing in things suggested in this thread, so keep an eye on that page – a GitHub link may pop up there if I get around to

   That is very, very tasty. And you gave me an idea of how to fight those tiny vote arrows, thanks. EDIT: updated with spiffier voting arrows.

   Wow, cheers mate. You want me to ping you at your email when I change things?

   You could easily borrow some or all of the CSS in mine, I won't mind.

   I tried both versions earlier, and the monospaced one sat better with me. Originally I decided on it because I didn't want to bring another typeface into the mix where I already had Menlo and Helvetica, so I tried both and settled on the o

    My reading comprehension might be off here, but I think guywithabike was pointing out what he thought I wasn't . As in, making a compliment.

    That will fix the submission page too. Grabbed it, thanks.

    Thanks, I really appreciate it. Others have said nice and useful things as well, including the thing about the voting arrows being hard to hit http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2098502

    You could pick and use a favourite -- 'Linux Libertine' will do quite alright I think.

    That would be a functional rewrite, not a styling.

    I didn't put _that_ much thought into it, thank you. :)

    The current design is functional and minimal. It's just what's needed and no more. But I'd say it lacks conveniences. Like text set to 'reading-size', for instance.

    Thanks for the constructive feedback, that's why I love this place. :) - I haven't decided whether I want to keep the logo at all, and where it should go. I may play with it more later. - Thinned out the numbers to reduce their weight, an

    If you set your top banner color to white either with user CSS or in your profile (if your karma is sufficient) it will fix the header.

    I see http://searchyc.com/ mentioned every other day, might be that HNers are overwhelmingly not aware of it, and many don't know how to search just any site with Google. If that's the case then it begs to be linked to from the front pag

    A 'semantic argument' is a core dump where I come from. Which is synonymous with 'pay-cuts'.

    And if you're serving pages to the other end of the world it becomes prohibitively slow. I waited about 30 seconds for anything to show up on the page.

    I work for a business that is exactly like that, owned by a Gentleman general entrepreneur. It's very weird, a little C/C++ in the morning, some PHP in the afternoon, and then massaging some huge datasets with Python and JavaScript in the e

    Flask looks delicious. On the other hand, for this specific app -- bottle, itty and juno all look very similar to the app made with flask. For whatever reason I find this very Pythonic.

    Can't tell the difference on a MacMini2,1 w/ Safari 5.latest – both sides jerk a bit sometimes, but are mostly smooth-looking. Maybe if I blew it up to full-screen it would show a noticeable difference. Reminded me of a BeOS demo, where wi
