I don't think the 1-star reviewer is thinking of "you" (the developers), at all. They want to bury the app so that no other user will have to waste their time in the same way they just did. It "sucks" but I don't know how you could change i

There was an article in the past few months (or maybe longer, if it was a reading assignment) about one homeless man in NYC that had a yearly tradition of putting on his nicest coat, going to a fancy restaurant and eating a large meal, and

I totally did not notice it was a serif font, and I didn't turn on Readability, either (which I do for most things, especially if some designer tried to make it look cool)

What got me is that his only justification for this (#13) is that our accents are the same. And based on #10 (culture matters) I thought he actually understood what 'culture' meant.

As 'erik' pointed out, there is already an open source program for this. I'll be installing this tomorrow to check it out. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1630247

The article is all about answering the question in the title. No, it doesn't fully answer the question, but it does address the question. And even if it did present "the answer" there will always be the caveat, "as far as we know". A mislea

I'm sure someone sufficiently motivated could write a program to see what percentage of items on the front page have "This isn't HN" in the comments, because it it seems like it's happening more and more.

While you have been around HN longer than I have, I believe the general feeling of HN is that the burden of proof is on the claimant, which would be you. So yes, please do include a list of references next time.

This was posted to HN before. The comments on that were basically, it's been done before, and wasn't economical/safe. Keep in mind, you still have to spend energy to accelerate the cars, and there are a lot of safety issues introduced by th

I just added +hn to my gmail address, so that if I do get lots of emails from spammers (unlikely to remove it after scraping), I can just delete it and get a new one, and mostly so I can filter the non-spam emails appropriately.

I believe he was responding to your "I am not sure why anyone cares about startup time." While you may have been referring specifically to Moose, it's possible to interpret that as a blanket statement for all programs and languages, even in
