ozh··on A tool to create slides using Markdown easily for you
Slides with images and no text are a nightmare for non visual person like myself. I see text: I remember text. I see image: I remember exactly nothing.
ozh··on Firefox tracking protection decreases page load time by 44%
The following post has some facts: https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2014/11/12/quantifying-...
ozh··on What one may find in robots.txt
It's because IDN domains became a standard after tables stopped to be used in page layouts </sarcasm>
ozh··on Remind HN: Update your wordpress sites
As someone who owns multiple WP installs, I have added "define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );" to all my wp-config.php files so that all my installs automatically self update with ALL future updates, minor & major
ozh··on SQLBolt: Learn SQL with simple, interactive examples
Super neat. It's a real bummer that you only got a handful of upvotes after two submissions :( I for one will definetely pimp this towards other SQL noobs like me.
ozh··on Show HN: SQLBolt – Learn SQL with simple, interactive examples
I'm late into the party but I wanted anyway to say "wow" and "thanks". Super well done, super efficient, perfect for raw SQL noobs like me. Thanks :)
ozh··on The button: social experiment driving Reddit crazy
To be honest, you don't read reddit daily :)
ozh··on Clickbait in the Physical World: A Social Experiment
Fun stuff :)

IMHO the fact that "mocha" got the highest engagement also shows that it's the most easy word to type, as opposed to, say, "macchiato"

ozh··on [dead]
I fail at seeing the XKCD principle here. Instead of something memorable yet secure, the default settings got me "24!live!MARKET!page!22" which is higly unmemorable.
ozh··on Sandstorm – An open source platform for personal servers
Sounds cool but I think the WordPress implementation is TERRIBLE: it depends on a WordPress fork that is completely outdated, instead of downloading an up-to-date fresh archive.
ozh··on Charlie Hebdo: first cover since terror attack depicts prophet Muhammad
It's definitely not ironic or "theatre" for non-muslins. It's taking "politically correct" to the whole new level of "please don't kill me".
ozh··on An excessive list of free services for open source projects

ozh··on Finish one thing today
I see there's still a market for stating the obvious... I was expecting something more disruptive or innovative or helpful, to be honest.
ozh··on The best ping story I've ever heard
Didn't know that one! The dry humor is f*ing priceless :)
ozh··on Je Suis Charlie
(For the record, I think "con" and "cunt" are very identical, since they both mean "nasty idiot" and "female genitalia")
ozh··on MonoOne is a monospaced font for programming
Looks very promising, I'll try ASAP. Thanks for the accented chars btw
ozh··on Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?
Time to team up with someone abroad... What's the niche about? :)
ozh··on Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?
Is there any potential for improvement? Like, devote more time to it and make more? 1 hour a day = 31 hours a month = $80/h, roughly put.
ozh··on Show HN: Qvotr – Like Pinterest, except for words
Another thing: once logged in, I cannot find a way back to the Chrome extension. There should be some "tools" page or something :)
ozh··on Show HN: Qvotr – Like Pinterest, except for words
Also, 2 little CSS/JS glitches: on FF (latest, Windows) the closing quote is ill positioned and the popup stuff for "Share" and "Delete" links is off by a couple pixels, see http://i.imgur.com/zW85FDV.png
ozh··on Show HN: Qvotr – Like Pinterest, except for words
This is excitingly promising. Needs a Firefox extension, though :)
ozh··on A Complete List of .Gov Domains
This reminds me when I was toying with some grey hat SEO tactics 10 years ago or so, one of which consisted in finding .GOV and .MIL sites with a redirection page to an external site.

The trick was to find pages like somesite.gov/redirect.asp?target=http://yoursite.com&text=Awesome+Site that would then display a link with custom anchor to your site, and supposedly getting benefit from the .GOV or .MIL Google juice.

It was quite trivial to set up dozens of those links (didn't really bothered to get real measure of the google juice benefit, though)

That is pretty much the kind of posts I come to HN for. Thanks for the read :)
ozh··on Why Won’t America Go Metric?
I stumbled upon a very interesting short documentary about the metric system and the world's roundest object. Well worth 10 minutes of your break today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMByI4s-D-Y
ozh··on The most popular web sites every year since 1996
I must be seriously underestimating the pageviews of those websites then :)
ozh··on The most popular web sites every year since 1996
WTF is doing AOL in the top list nowadays? Genuine question.
ozh··on Travis CI: From Open to Minimum Vacation Policy
No. The whole is 4 or 5 weeks.
ozh··on Travis CI: From Open to Minimum Vacation Policy
Laws in France state that employers have to make sure every employee takes at least 2 consecutive weeks (ie 10 work days) between June & September. So, yes, mandatory.
ozh··on You can't win the game, it exists only to destroy your mind
For the record, I'm just a non English speaker and it's really painful for us strangers to see things like this after so many years spent learning "academic" English :)

Kudos on leaving your statement in full transparency anyway :)

ozh··on The Pirate Bay down, forever?
Sometimes I really don't get why stuff get upvoted and frontpaged on HN.
