Scryptonite··on Show HN: Distraction Free Reader/Writer
Nope.

EDIT: From what I can tell, the textarea is over the div.settings

Add a z-index to your .settings rule.

eg:

    .settings {
      z-index: 99;
    }

The theme-changer/audio/fullscreen options up to the left don't seem to work.

I had a double take when I opened the sidebar. After digging through my bookmarks I found that it reminded me of Scratchpad's (http://scratchpad.io/example) sidebar.

Overall, pretty cool.

Scryptonite··on An Honor for the Creator of the GIF
I'd let a machine decide.

Google's Text-to-Speech seems to pronounce it with a Soft G.

Scryptonite··on Tell HN: Bots are Constantly trying to hack your Wordpress Sites
I manage an entirely node.js http server and note these pests snooping for various logins and what-not. I created a page that targets them that basically streams forever, so the connection has to be ended on their end.

I manage a gist to track which of them manage to stay connected the longest: https://gist.github.com/scryptonite/5324724/raw/log.md

Scryptonite··on Click on a few dots and our program will guess your age
It guessed that I was 33. Divide that in half and it would pretty spot on.
Scryptonite··on URLs are for humans - a browser concept
I like the concept, but I think I would rather use this feature by holding control/command or middle clicking, which would make my action to navigate upward more deliberate.
Scryptonite··on Show HN: Redstone, a distributed Minecraft server that runs on Node.js
It was going to use node.js; So far I have written my prototypes in CoffeeScript, but if I end up going through with my project it will likely be with vanilla JS. The premise of it wasn't for it to be a MMO.

You can imagine my surprise when I found out who purchased the domain and what projects you are working on, knowing that redstone.io was pretty much destined to be node.js and minecraft related.

Scryptonite··on Show HN: Redstone, a distributed Minecraft server that runs on Node.js
I was going to buy redstone.io for pretty much the same project. I was only late by 15 days. Oh well, such is life. Wish you luck!
Scryptonite··on Ask HN: Do people need direct file sharing or they go cloud?
My best guess is that it uses WebRTC for P2P transfer. It may also use WebSockets to connect to a private room (which only one source-client and one destination-client may join) and streams it.

EDIT: It would appear that it is the latter, in that it uses Socket.IO to stream it to the server and down to the recipient. The server could copy it as it is streamed, and I didn't really delve into the source of the webpage to know if it has any encryption or anything.

Scryptonite··on Ƀ — Universal Bitcoin Logo Alternative
I would much rather use the original BTC symbol. I would gander it has something to do with the fact that my mind has an easier time having the vertical bar(s) in "$" be a symbol of monetary value, and that I would have a different opinion if I were born in the UK or Germany and had the "£"/"€" characters on my keyboard.
Scryptonite··on Hacker News Refrigerator Magnets
I really need to get back to work. I'm sorry for messing with the game... (Did you notice how the magnets were just zipping out from where you put them and into the center, randomly offset, or into a formed circle? That was me. Sorry!)
