Can I request a text/plain version of this? I saw no option and while the confirmation email did contain both MIME types, Mail.app removed the functionality to prefer plaintext in Mavericks.

"curated by hand" - that's redundant. You could simply write "hand-picked" or "curated", although the latter is definitely more of a buzzword these days.

I wouldn't say it is redundant. Digitally curated content is a thing now and sometimes its nice to be reminded there is a person at the other end of the content you are consuming. There may be a better way to say it, but I don't think you can assume that curation implies a human touch anymore.

I mostly assume that 'curated' means someone's playing buzzword bingo because the word has pretty much lost most of its meaning.

To be fair, I started using that word back in 2010 when I started Hacker Newsletter and it wasn't much of a buzzword at the time. I put the "by hand" in there b/c so many others use automated processes to create similar things.

Never says a human has to do it.

I want an RSS feed

There's nothing on a privacy policy? Or maybe I just missed it?

Would be pleased to know my email address isn't going to be sold on :).

This is cool, shame the last issue was July 2013.

The latest issue isn't from July 2013, it's just the latest issue that they link from the front page.

I get it weekly. It's up to date. Very handy too.

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I had a script that was suppose to keep that updated... but it broke and I obviously haven't fixed it. I will get that fixed. Issue #190 goes out this Friday.

I have seen this more than 10 times. Why this posted again?

'Noobs' accumulating 'internets' on HN

I haven't seen it even once. I just discovered it today. Judging from the number of upvotes, I'm not the only one.

This is a sign you visit HN too much.

Well, if it makes you feel better, it is my project and I have no idea who posted it (and just realized it now).
