I would love if HN had a "Save" button -- save an item into a personal list so I can, for instance, retry a link later after the HN effect has stopped...

I'd try this, but if I could sign up without entering credit card details.

Why push a new document every day instead of simply updating the document? This is git, it's easy to track changes...

So, all Cookie Clicker needed was a nerdy upgrade, right?

I don't define God as "someone", sorry

I'm sorry for your loss (your freewill & freedom I mean)

Awesome idea. In case you don't meet funding goals, please consider open sourcing the code anyway, I have no doubt a collective effort will finish polishing that plugin.

So basically this is Quake but with tanks?

Also, "WordPress", not "Wordpress".

My 2 cents: cannot filter by number of columns or left/right sidebar, and results are wayyy to slow to check out (it would be better to be shown small screenshots and decide which theme you actually want to try live)

Any UTF8 char actually 💩

Wondered the same, had to download to understand it's an OSX .app which should be clear on the page. Having a iTune link isn't explicit. Boo.

Another reason why when browsers announce their next version won't even show the URL bar, I shiver.

This said, the page editing is well done

Quite choppy at the moment so it's hard to play with, but how does this differ with ideone.com ?

TL;DW: people just cross slowly but steadily across the neverending moped and car traffic. Insane. And apparently, rather safe.

Interesting OT for the non English native speaker: meaning and origin of the expression "by and large" which got me confused for a second -- http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bya1.htm

From the FAQ:

Why don't I see down arrows?

There are no down arrows on submissions. They only appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold.

https://news.ycombinator.com/logout then https://news.ycombinator.com/newslogin I guess

You've submitted too soon: the DNS hasn't propagated yet (at least I get an invalid domain error)

The whole planet says "FF". This makes it de facto the correct/preferred/official abbr

A problem with 3rd party URL shorteners.

If you use and host your own, you've got things covered for as long as you need.

Using YOURLS - http://yourls.org -- this would be trivial to do with a plugin

While this sounds stupid if you're using a password manager with very complicated passwords, 99.99% of ebay users are probably random moms with very simple passwords. Making sure they don't copy/paste something wrong must really cut the number of support requests.

You can also use Adblock to block simple CSS rules like these

I don't call "restaurant" a place where you eat sandwiches. Cultural point, I guess.

Typical article that makes me shake my head thinking "why on earth is this paper highlighting female vs male".

Interesting idea at the "Rate your work" paragraph. There ought to be an app for this, though :)

The comment isn't interesting but the question behind it is quite legit: it's odd to say the least that a post like this would surface on the front page, here where you'd assume most if not all are already aware of it. It'd be interesting to know why.
