Haha, this is a brilliant interpretation of my off-handed remark! I can see the 'Mindyacht' being the superseding craft of choice ;)

It's amusing to see "LEO" referenced twice in one day on HN, where the first time it was mentioned earlier[0] someone confused it for 'low earth orbit' when the author meant 'law enforcement officer'. [0]

I agree from anecdotal evidence from family and friends. I think this is a classic case of HN demographic bias, as (this is just a guess) but I imagine there is a dearth of materialistic/hip teenagers using HN and as a result a lot o

Agreed (and same). I get that it's hard to convert web elements (via Chrome) to a readable/nice PDF, but wkhtmltopdf really isn't the miracle tool it is made out to be. Like you, I have to tweak the options majorly, and even

As much as I'd love to know if those IPs came from Tesla too, I am very much against asking HN to expose information about users because (unlikely as it is to happen) it would very easily set a precedent for witch-hunting. Hopefully so

Interesting concept. Just a friendly tip about some of your homepage's display elements. You have some detailed graphics in your hero image header that would benefit from slowing the image-carousel timer down a bit. I would also consid

My first thought was "I hope this is someone showing off their photo-editing skills because if an algorithm did this then my mind is fully blown"... Either this or it's an advanced April Fool's release (with back-dating

I was really hoping that they wouldn't have to pivot into competing with Spotify (somewhat indirectly, although that is TBD depending on what deals they've signed). Here's hoping that the mention of an indie library hints t

It's really great to see advances in English syntax highlighting (an oft-neglected 'language' when it comes to code editors). However, I get a feeling this is a sort of hype-train at the moment, because I swear I've seen

I remember there was a similar headline to this — comparing the high ratio of chocolate-eating to non-chocolate-eating Nobel laureates — in the Fall of 2012. My Quantitive Methods lecturer used it as a perfect example of the correlation&#x2

What a mess and no way to treat the 'power' users who value you most (i.e. developers). I've always found MailChimp's editor to be a complete and utter nightmare to use, for formatting — it's so buggy — not to menti

Great to see this on the front page! Was fed up with a template-driven site I built a few months ago and was looking for CSS frameworks to base a redesign on. Only downloaded Milligram the other day and have been having a blast getting it s

I always use spotlight search on mac [CMD+SPACE], which returns a dictionary result in the list of options from what you type. From there, I open the dictionary app and check the thesaurus. I seldom need any other sources that what is alrea

Please be aware that your homepage's background video is not being positioned correctly (jumps 50% to left) on Safari 9 — could be just me. -- hope it helps you squash any bugs in your page layout :) Great idea though!

Perhaps a reason why this works so well is due to most people's way of subvocalizing [1] material that they read. If you're saying an article out loud in your head as you read it, then it sure does make sense for it to sound like

I don't necessarily agree with the premise of this article, as many other commenters point out. To offer an alternative, my own theory is that the 'up and coming' areas are cropping up down the Shoreditch fringe , i.e. Borou
