Totally agreed. Wikiwand has made me excited every time I see a Wikipedia link because the reading experience is so well thought out.

This is the way we should be talking about privacy. Using vivid examples that are relevant to everyday people’s lives on both sides of the political divide. Avoiding broad, philoso…

Interesting to see that this headline typo (copied from the Gizmodo article) has lasted on the front page of HN for 9+ hours! Chalk it up to only reading the beginnings and endings…

I agree, the substance was there, but the story could use some editing and organization. If it were me, it'd look something like: 1) How people think URLs work, the good parts that…

I think my experience is different from yours (I don't let spikes make it past my own branch), but as far as production goes, we're on the same page!

I'm all for using tools that don't make bad things easy, but I think threeseed is saying that for hacks and spikes, the "later point" you're referring to might not matter. (I agree…

I restarted my modem and router two times before I realized that the network was fine and that it was just Facebook that was down. Props to their ops team for uptime that is so rel…

Backbone Marionette would make the LOC comparison a fair one and is worth looking into if you haven't already. Marionette is an especially good answer for people who like the Backb…
