I've noticed I have been doing a lot of "site:news.ycombinator.com <topic>" searches on Google lately and thought I would compile what I find on this website. It is hosted on Github and contributions are welcome.

Obviously there is a lot of editorial bias in selecting the answers for a Q&A collection like this, but hopefully direct links to the source comments and the public nature helps alleviate these concerns a bit. The main objective of the website is to be interesting to quickly skim through or to serve as the minimal start point for research in a given topic.
