Was this close to biting... well done.

I think HN, Reddit and 4chan have mostly the same audience. People just behave differently on each site.

I think this may be true to an extent. I think most 4chan posters aren't Reddit posters. There is a lot of distaste towards Reddit.

It is pretty accurate, however HN is still the best source for all the topics i am interested in.

Just skip the crap posts, and you're good.

Heh. Mostly, can't argue, barring two things: > How I got my girlfriend pregnant using JavaScript I'm pretty sure this is directly opposed to reality. > How 2048 will make you a better programmer Incidentally, this actually has been experience (to be clear, I mean playing it, not coding it).

yeah well if you just added a couple of input/output functions to it you could potentially do it with SassScript :p
