I think this aspect of HN has improved immensely in the past several months; dang in particular has done much to increase the transparency around title editing. I find myself less likely to knee-jerk reject a title change when the rationale

Say I'm using this to generate a background image for each post on HN. Also, I want them to be consistent, so everywhere you see a mVChr post it's got a green ringed background. I could generate a random string for each user, but

I started playing this while some code was compiling and ended up getting completely sucked in. That giddy thrill of enabling a restless mass of fellow cursors to rush through a gate, or the temporary, unspoken bond between the lone cursor

That's true, and I don't think the goal is to simplify or transform the existing web of hypertext, but to take the well-proven principles behind it - hyperlinks, interoperability, decentralization, etc. - and apply them to the nas

The problem, as I see it: VR and the web are too far apart. This seems to be an attempt to build a... protocol? engine? both? for moving programmable entities between volumes of space that may be controlled by different hosts. The "ope

I downvoted you. I'm interested in reading counterarguments rather than comments like this.

I don't think this is HN-worthy. Seems like this submission is just trying to stir the pot.

Some hopefully constructive criticism. :) - I'd recommend using HMAC rather than plain MD5 to generate signatures. Using MD5 alone exposes you to length extension attacks. - You should consider putting a timestamp or nonce in the signa

Imagine how ridiculous the web would look today if content creators had to restrict the images they used to some common subset of those preinstalled on clients' operating systems. Would you condemn web typography to the use of "we

Truthfully, you plug ShipBuilder more frequently than I am comfortable with. It makes your related comments seem disingenuous.

Don't feel bad about linking to your blog -- even with the few posts it has, it was an invaluable resource in helping me get started with Docker. Please keep writing!

With gamers? Oculus, by a landslide. Glass can enable some interesting layers over the real world (I'm personally looking forward to Ingress on Glass), but it isn't even close to the level of immersion the Rift offers. There'
