false··on Show HN: Combining UTC and local times (time zones) in one new clock
Would be nice if "BrandonText-Light" font supported `font-variant: tabular-nums` — this would prevent digital clock display from slight horizontal jumps on each second change.
false··on Ask HN: Why can't I see downvote or upvote arrows anywhere?
This makes upvote a CSS triangle. Could be extended for downvotes as well.

    /* 13.328px = 1em */
    .votearrow[title=upvote] {
        background: none !important;
    }
        .votearrow[title=upvote]:after {
            content: '';
            display: block;
            position: relative;
            top: -1px;
            width: 0;
            height: 0;
            border: .3em solid transparent;
            border-bottom: .6em solid #999;
        }
false··on Lightweight HTML5 Grooveshark Player
I'm the developer of the project and I just hijacked the top comment! :)

It's been a 2 years long ride. I used Backbone and Zepto on front end, jake for building and managing assets. App uses the same PHP backend as a desktop site.

Ask me anything!

false··on Best ultrabook for linux? [April 2013 edition]
Does hibernation or maybe even some kind of hybryd-sleep works well for you?
false··on Why is Windows so slow?
Git under cygwin is so painfully slow, and gets exponentially slower as number of tracked files grow. Even SSD can't fully smooth out the difference :(
false··on Ivo – a reimagined Unix terminal system
It used to, but starting from version 2 it utilized software rendering.
false··on Show HN: elegant open-source pastebin server (node.js & redis)
Awesome!

However, when I type/paste i can see only the last line of text, it's somehow confusing. Why not to make textarea take whole height?

false··on Roy — small functional language that compiles to JavaScript
http://roy.brianmckenna.org/bundled-roy.js

There are some characters that shouldn't be there in the middle of the file, thus demo is broken.

false··on Google's Opt Out from 3rd party cookies extension is broken for long time
The reason is simple, Chrome Extensions Cookies API is not in experimental state no more, but nobody took time to update extension code.
false··on Show HN: make git ignore certain changed files in repo
Awesome, that'll do as well, thanks
false··on Show HN: make git ignore certain changed files in repo
This has nothing to do with branching. Here is the idea I tried to replicate http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-...
false··on Show HN: make git ignore certain changed files in repo
The file still shows up in status and, the most important, changes from file still shows up in 'add|checkout|reset -p' which I use all the time.
false··on Show HN: make git ignore certain changed files in repo
Right, gitignore can only help with untracked files, not tracked and changed.

Back in the day when I was using SVN, its ignore-on-commit feature (GUI only, but anyway) was incredibly useful.

I'd be happy to hear your testimonials!

I use it at work everyday, it comes in very handy when you need to keep some changes only specific to your local setup (monkey patching, javascript page speed measurements, weird php local config stuff, etc, etc).

false··on A Simple Frontend Strategy for Mobile Webapps: How we Built Hacker News Mobile
It doesn't work in Opera Mobile, just shows spinner and 'Loading' and that's all
false··on Understanding the Git Workflow
You will probably enjoy 'checkout -p' and 'reset -p' as well (revert and unstage changes hunk-by-hunk)
false··on Upgrade of an old console
I believe here is original link (google-translated)

false··on [dead]
I wonder is there any way to hack-in the last.fm support? Or maybe even log in with one's last.fm account. I would be happy to offer some help with that.
false··on Google Introducing New Visual Design Across All Products
Or even better, use the user stylesheet. This is CSS job after all :)

false··on AT&T's Rube Golbergian Web Form
Well, and how these reasoning justifies the need of ActiveX (the solely reason of IE8 installation) in order to fill in a web form?
false··on Show HN: HN Trends - like Google Trends, but for Hacker News
I asked it about ios and android and it broke :( http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=ios%2C+android
false··on Boot a linux kernel right inside your browser.
or the INCEPTION for that matter :)
false··on Beats Drum Machine
I wonder why set linespacing for pre tag to almost a average char width
false··on Moscow hacker who put porn on billboard gets jail term
Well, it might, at least in Russia
false··on Developer only event at SXSW (code puzzle gets harder with more tweets)
I did :)

  JSON.parse(p.innerHTML.split('\n')[2])
