Long, interesting and thoughtful comment chain created by posting an, effectively, empty link on HN. (reached the first page too!)

I see a possible solution. Have a tool which posts to your blog _and_ to twitter. You get the engagement on twitter and also have the information in the open for other people to re…

Thank you so much for doing this (or, at least, intending to) and apologies for calling you "not tech-aware" :) Also thanks to our anonymous benefactor who actually uploaded the bo…

This looks really interesting. Can some kind soul please upload (at least one) of these books to archive.org? That seems a much better place for Public Domain works than google dri…

Does this mean I can now develop iOS (iphone/ipad) apps, start to finish, without asking Apple's permission _at any stage_, and then sideload these apps onto my personal iphone/ipa…

Thanks for [ncdu]. I like it and had not heard of it. I see no mention of [KDirStat] http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/ of which, the much more famous, but later, [WinDirStat], is a …
