Yes, it's sexist, and it's pretty confusing UI when in other contexts they're using their newer arrow-boxy form fill icon. Nothing about two humans says 'fill forms' to me. I don't think you'll get anywhere with Joe from Support, though, and probably not with largely-male HN.


Yeah, I suppose I'll take non-serious spam over self-important spam. It's easier to filter if I'm not in the mood.


How many what?

My employer has to nag me every year to use up my leave days. If they don't, I forget! I'm on the autistic spectrum and easily get caught up in routine.

Generally I use holiday time strictly for relaxation and enjoying being at home.


I go for 64 as a default length, but it's surprising how many sites respond with "No! You can't havee more than 8/10/12 characters or I'll sulk!" Makes me extremely suspicious re: just how they're storing them.


Damn, I really should have thought of this when switching over to my current password manager. Upvoted and soon to be put into action!


I may have to cancel my monthly RSPCA donation so I can pay for my house. That'd be sad.


I see an upvote arrow next to comments and stories, and I'm a very infrequent poster with next to zero karma.

No idea how to tell if my upvotes 'count' or not.


I like NewsBlur's training feature that lets me block things I hate. This poll has convinced me to give Digg a go, though. Thanks guise.


I actually read HN through the RSS feed, which I assume contains everything posted. The noise-to-signal ratio is high, but I've had some luck training my RSS aggregator to hide anything related to startups. After that, I actually click on maybe 1 link in 5 (very rough guess, could be fewer than that).


Oh hell, is it? Quite often I'm short on cash and just tip with the change I have - not tiny-denomination coins, I hasten to add, but 50ps/£1s. Bugger.
