Ask HN: Are you utilizing all the features of Hacker News?
In my profile, what does showdead do?
If you turn it on, you'll see all the stories and comments that have been killed by software, moderators, or user flags.
In my profile, what is noprocrast?
It's a way to help you prevent yourself from spending too much time on HN. If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero.
In my profile, what is delay?
It gives you time to edit your comments before they appear to others. Set it to the number of minutes you'd like. The maximum is 10.

Is anyone actually using these features?
Created my account 1725 days ago ... just recently turned on showdead and I can see why these articles might be dead or flagged, but it's still nice to see EVERYTHING that is posted on HN. Honestly never knew what it was... until I did some tinkering.. and it opens up a whole other world on Hacker News.
