Sure. I'm saying, personally, I'm perfectly fine with the numbered HIBs being posted. The others I could care less.

by jere 13y ago
They have a weekly sale, but the HIB is more rare. They're up to 9 and they started in May 2010, so... every few months rather than weekly. I don't mind that getting upvoted if the games are good. FTL and Fez are real damn good.

Please retitle to "30-40% of IE users use older versions of Internet Explorer by choice." [derp. updated the numbers because I was being stupid, but the point still stands]

Bollocks. It doesn't need an asterisk. It has a graph that proves your point! The graph doesn't show IE8/9 use going to 0% on the weekends. In fact, it clearly shows about 35% of IE users still cling onto older versions dur

I agree with your criticism, at least against the article as written. By volume, potatoes (the 2nd option beyond leafy greens according to NASA) have 30x the calories as lettuce. I don't see how the math could ever work out. In fact, p

This is so cool. The really surprising part to me is that sometimes the glitch is much more noticeable when you increase the quality.

I'd be pretty surprised if no one has created a complete meal replacement before, but really I was getting at how every blog post seems to be about how Soylent is not just convenient, but nutritionally superior to other diets. Perhaps

OK. Fair enough. I wasn't trying to be negative, but was genuinely wondering why so many HN clones are made. As a learning experience, it makes sense. Anyway, definitely do the About page because otherwise it won't be obvious that

How about an About page or FAQ so I know why the site exists? Here are a few questions to get you started: 1. Was this created by pg? 2. If not, why does everyone have an obsession with cloning Hacker News?

Nope. I feel like that every single day. But it's not necessarily a feeling you want to get rid of. If you're not surrounding yourself with daily reminders about what you don't know, what are you learning?

Great article. I'm working on a procedural (but stable) color library right now and I'm hoping it's useful for somebody. Color perception is a lot more complicated than I could have ever imagined.
