Too much choice I think. "0to255 is a simple tool that helps web _designers_ find variations of any color." Designers already have offline tools to explore full color spectra. Tools that turn color theory into recommendation algorithms are

Is there an implication that all this optimization could be merged into PHP core? PHP's appeal is ubiquitous support. Even if it is open-sourced, I can't imagine a bunch of hosting companies suddenly serving Facebook-flavored PHP.

Even though this technique is primitive, how would you say it compares to the techniques used by run-of-the-mill comment spammers to identify and exploit outdated installations? Are most of them stopping at meta generator?

Erm, assuming the iPad is meant for casual, mobile, everyday use, who exactly would be walking around with a tablet playing porn? Edit: Although, I suppose it'd be more convenient than a laptop in various places throughout one's domicile.

Ugh, I'd much prefer that to all the dehumanizing and paranoia that is present-day air travel. Knock me out and send me FedEx, please. Probably takes about as long to recover from a horse tranquilizer as it does from plain ol' jet lag.

Contextual private messaging. Many threads on HN and elsewhere get burdened by 1:1 dialog that adds little or no public value. "Why am I being downvoted?" dialogs are one example. I propose adding a "reply privately" function. A private rep

If public meta-commenting is the issue, and assuming the comment isn't an outright troll, it'd be nice to know who took issue with it, and be able to ask why privately. Hence, civil discourse as though we're face-to-face. Anonymous one-word

Though the model may be accurate, the fly-through speed is impossible to comprehend, and compromises any feeling of scale or distance. You still have to read the captions and think. Anyone know of an animation that's a little more appreciab

I think defining an artform is populist. Therefore, you have to start somewhere. The emergence of "Programming Appreciation" courses would be a tipping point.

Assuming you mean on a Mac... I stick with Safari because it's fast enough, more mature than Chrome, evolved specifically for this platform, and updates and behaves according to OS conventions. Slightly better JS performance doesn't compel
