To start with, the author says he switched to Colemak keyboard layout. Interesting, but about as useless as Dvorak. Unless you get everyone to switch to it, you will be disabled whenever you switch to someone else's computer, a kiosk, etc.

My guess is that when some chose "insufficient recognition", a possible reason was that someone else was taking that recognition. Having a site that allows people to recognize others for their achievements could just as easily compound the

Used to work at a place that tried outsourcing QA. Truly awful idea. They started off by just trying to get them to document the process they would be using to QA. They failed.

Zip isn't just a compression format that people can choose to use or not. Java jars, wars, ears, etc. and a number of other apps/frameworks/etc. package files using zip. It is flawed, but many well-used things are flawed. I personally use t

I think you are worrying about it too much. Just be yourself. If you are doing interesting things, then other people will want to talk with you. If you aren't, they won't. You can be personable and likable, and they might talk with you, and

"The orange asterisk is of the same color as the headline box" This annoys me at times, too. Maybe grey would be better. "and refresh itself once in a while" Only if it did it without meta-refresh. Meta-refresh would be evil. "I find the ba

Why only 10 people, and if only 10 people, then why aren't you just talking to people you know rather than broadcasting it on HN? I think people can see through the fact that you are trying to gain interest by making it harder to access.

I usually share the idea with my wife, my best friends, and former co-workers that are friends. It is better to get feedback early.

But we really need to go one step further and only vote on the issues and then hold candidates accountable for how well they addressed those issues. Otherwise, it remains as a popularity contest for liars.
