nej··on DuckDuckGo Lite
Reviewing the frontend code, a couple of things stand out.

1) The HTML/CSS code isn't minified.

2) The PNG images can be compressed further (lossless) for extra savings.

3) CSS classes/ids could be further shortened in post-processing.

nej··on Fight back against Google AMP (2018)
After AMP was introduced, I converted to DDG (DuckDuckGo) and after taking some time getting used to it and personalizing it’s settings, I haven’t gone back to Google.
nej··on Ask HN: What are you thankful for?
I’m thankful to come to work every day and appreciate my coworkers and those around me. I feel like without those smart and good folks life would be a lot more difficult.
nej··on Kik, left-pad, and npm
Come on npm, no one blindly does "npm install kik" expecting to install a messenger client.
nej··on Ask HN: Anyone in NYC area want to hack?
Assuming you are serious and not here to troll, I would suggest checking out Founder Dating (http://founderdating.com). I don't have any affiliations with the company though I am a member and it's a very active community and the website helps connect people together to build something together.
nej··on Ask HN: Is RSS still worth the time?
Why though? There are alternatives.
nej··on Making Netflix.com Faster
I agree with your points but at the same time their UI is now so easy to navigate that my not so tech savvy 70 year old dad can use Netflix without ever calling me and asking me any questions. So my guess is, Netflix is trying to be more like a preprogrammed TiVo with lots of content than trying to appeal to the super users that may want those features.
nej··on Vivaldi – A new browser for our friends
A new browser for our friends but don't touch it! lol
nej··on Aurelia JavaScript Framework
Great job on the framework! It's nice to see a framework that pushes JS Devs into using new ES6+ conventions.
nej··on Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?
My only concern with using Google Drive is worrying about it's future. Who knows if it will get axed like Google Reader did. At least with using DropBox or other alternatives you know what the companies MVP is.
nej··on [dead]
Seems to be down for me as well.
nej··on Show HN: Tricking the user to access history using CSS and captchas
Clever
nej··on What 4chan thinks of HN
This one was hilarious.
nej··on How to Make Money from Spotify by Streaming Silence
I would cancel my premium Spotify subscription if they ever did anything like that and would resort back to buying music from iTunes.
nej··on My Brain Has No Space For Your User Interface
"In 10 years, this UI list may look laughably small. We’ll probably be discussing the operating systems on our tube socks and dust pans. What can be done?" really makes you think.
nej··on A software engineer's website
6 Character password? Need a longer password than that!
nej··on Show HN: Add forms to your static site – no iFrames required
Is there a way to send the form submission to multiple emails using this service?
nej··on Netflix Agrees to Pay Comcast to End Web Traffic Jam
I think Netflix should've just announced to it's customers that Comcast was throttling their network speeds before doing this. It is the same way that current companies in the US ask you to write to your legislatures about unfair policy changes, the most recent one I can think of in California is the public/private ban they're trying to pass on electronic cigarettes which I believe is still going on.
nej··on Overthinking Design
I think it's also worth reading "Why you should move that button 3px to the left"[0] article from Medium.

nej··on As much Stack Overflow as possible in 4096 bytes
Wow navigating around feels instant and it almost feels as if I'm hosting the site locally. Great job!
nej··on Multiple Simultaneous Ajax Requests (with one callback) in jQuery
This is pretty similar to using RequireJS no?
nej··on Flappy Bird Typing Tutor
My thoughts exactly.
nej··on Newegg Launches $50 Amazon Prime Competitor
Wow didn't know Newegg was the second largest e-retailer.
nej··on Show HN: thedaywefightback.js
They should at least promote the good legislators that cosponsored the USA Freedom Act on the banner so the good ones don't get sent massive phone calls and emails and are instead promoted for doing what's right.
nej··on How Pandora Nabbed More Than 70M Monthly Users with Just 40 Engineers
Where do you get developers for $5 per month :P
nej··on iOS holding my phone number hostage = the worst bug I’ve ever experienced
I too switched to Android after Apple released iOS7 and have been having similar issues. The only solution I've found so far that still doesn't fix 100% of the problems is by asking friends and relatives to log out of iMessage, restart their phone then log back in.
