I'm afraid you're looking for something that just isn't there. Now this feature request is a good idea in my opinion, that's why I'm suggesting to upvote it on the Feature Requests…

Not really, it's just referencing new users, it's used in the site itself: http://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories and http://news.ycombinator.com/noobcomments

Noobs keep asking for this feature almost daily now and pg kills the post every time, because you're not supposed to ask like this. Feature requests go in the feature requests page…

J is open source and free software as of March 2011 under GPLv3. See you at the J software forums.

It would be except it's not new, it's a dupe of post from not too long ago that had a large amount of points: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2464213

Which university are you talking about? (I'm learning J and other APL derivatives right now by myself by experimenting with the J docs and pinging the amazing people at the J softw…

This situation has no parallels with 'the fall of Rome' whatsoever, unless I'm misreading your intent.

Hardly, there is a lot of arc that you are not seeing that really powers the voting and other features of the site like spam detection and voting ring detection. It's similar to th…

HN does not use Google Analytics or any other kind of analytics tracking for that matter. I think they used to use mixpanel and had the mixpanel logo at the bottom of the homepage …

Why is this biased anonymous junk on HN frontpage?

Take anything from loper-os with a massive grain of salt, he is a long-term troll who has been writing these sorts of wistful but ultimately empty posts for several years now. Call…

Why?

Yes, they do. Who do you think contributes to the Linux kernel everyday, only individual hackers all over the world pushing FL/OSS ? The vast majority of the contributors are big-t…

It is explicit, apparently FB is using OpenID which is information supplied by you linking the two accounts, completely opt-in. Besides, it's hardly tracking you with this feature,…

That's pretty neat, I wish they'd publish on how they did this so others could use it. Sounds like another great way to remove friction for the user, always a great thing.

A lot of people have claimed to have stopped reading HN publicly but sorta just came back anyways. Even mattmaroon is around now.

One of the most influential people in the world whose contributions were immense. He will be sorely missed.

This is just a throwaway account and not the one under my real name. I've been reading Hacker News since before it was even called that. My "real name" account is over 4 years old.…

Google+ is almost where Friendfeed was in 2008, awesome. All we need now is feed and service imports and we've got a done deal.

I think this is a more recent development actually, that started in the last year particularly. Hacker News had a much more business and startup friendly environment, but the anti-…

If we can quit the absurd analogies all over this thread for a minute, can you point me to why Monsanto is so evil in your eyes? Other than a Vanity piece, it seems everyone has co…

Yes, because Hacker News is for civilized, rational discussion. Not '+1 !'s, not analogies to the Nazi regime, not a litany of profanity to a hard-working young startup, and not mo…

Agreed, I don't think I've ever seen so many 'fucks' and similar words used on an HN thread before. For some reason all these new posters are tying every company which they have a …
