A comment on PostgreSQL Index Internals. Parent comment

At least for me, I have two different voting style:

- Yeah, this is pretty cool. Upvote!

- I've got to save this for later when I can really read it

PostgreSQL stuff tends to be pretty reliably good, and usually with an educational bent. So I'll tend to use the upvote as a bookmark to go back to later.

I gotta say, I don't really like slides, but I've yet to be disappointed by a PostgreSQL post. And usually, a high vote/comment ratio is a nice indicator of quality.

EDIT: formatting

You might be interested in the "favorite" link under each submission title.

You know, I actually never noticed that. Is that another cool whizbang feature on the site? Somewhere along the line I got it into my head that upvotes were just how you favorited things.

Well. Time to start indexing my upvotes... (later...)

But I think the "favorites" are publicly view-able, isn't it? Is there any way to make them private?

From viewing my profile it appears that they are public. I've never actually used it, just noticed the feature a while back. I've been using Instapaper for ages for my "read later" links.
