It will also look crisp on my normal-resolution display. This website's font is too small for me so I always open it in 150%.
Me too. Doesn't it drive you nuts when some sites don't let you resize fonts? Specifically, look at the Facebook comments on Techcrunch. I can zoom in all I want (command-+) but the comments-font stays tiny. My eyes are bad.
Huh, I didn't know Arc was that good at Unicode. It even renders the flip table emoticon.
So it does. This may or may not be a good thing.

Or go contentless via CSS triangles: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/css-triangle/
Yes, this. It will also make the pages render faster. On the homepage alone there are 30 instances of grayarrow.gif.
The image is only loaded once and does not block anything (in fact it's loaded in parallel with — and the same size as — the orange Y logo at the top-left, and the tracking gif). Furthermore the images on YC have extremely low dynamicity and size, so there's little chance they'll be evicted from the browser's cache (short of a manual cache clear), so their 100 bytes will only be loaded once the first time ever you vi…
There's no Expires header being set, so your browser is not caching these images. A full roundtrip to the HN server to get back the "content hasn't changed" status code (304) is required for each.
