Ask HN: A way to view the top rated posts/comments of all time?
I just thought that this would be a really useful feature. Or, is there a hidden way to do this already via hnsearch.com, for example?

I lost it at "If you don't want to make your apps intuitive and easy to use, I hear OpenOffice is looking for some Java developers."
Hilarious, great article.

Awesome! Just letting you know, the "Take Screenshot" feature seems to be broken on OS X Lion, it would probably be easier to use the default 10.7 screenshot capture mechanism, and upload the files once they reach the Desktop.

I'm curious, where were you able to host this?
The interface looks fantastic, the simplicity is the killer feature.

I've seen lists... but unfortunately those only have "recent" posts.

But consider, would you really need one? I thought the same thing when I explored purchasing the new 13" Air, until I realized that the last time I needed to put a DVD in my computer was 2008 and it adds way more everyday weight than it gives everyday use.

"you're too used to PHP"
So I should write the micro-framework in Ruby? Any suggestions for starting out with that?
Ask HN: Is it bad to dislike using frameworks so much?
Hello HN,I've been programming web applications since I was 13 years old. I love doing it, but lately, something's been bothering me. Up to this point, the entirety of my server-side programming has been done in PHP. I learned web development with basic PHP and MySQL, and now work as an entrepreneur in my own company, using that combination.However, lately, I've been bored with PHP. Each time I...

16 year old here, and I know exactly what you mean!
I've been-there done that, with the kinds of things your talking about... I've released iPhone apps, dabbled into web development, done JS, PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, C#, Objective-C, and lots of other things.
My advice is, this is a great point of opportunity in your life- you're living at home, your expenses (room & board) are being paid for, and you're not yet responsible for having job. It's ok to feel satisfied piddling around different platforms and languages, because this is a great time to explore things without worrying about making money.
Eventually, you'll probably find something that you're really interested in- and learn everything you can about that. The things you're learning now WILL be useful later on, I can tell you this from personal experience as a college student.
Since we're more or less the same age, we should communicate! Feel free to send me an email ([email protected]) to talk, or even if you want help with something, I might be able to assist.
