Slides with images and no text are a nightmare for non visual person like myself. I see text: I remember text. I see image: I remember exactly nothing.

It's because IDN domains became a standard after tables stopped to be used in page layouts </sarcasm>
Re:Remind HN: Update your wordpress sites on Thursday May 14, 2015 @05:55AM (#9544185)
As someone who owns multiple WP installs, I have added "define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );" to all my wp-config.php files so that all my installs automatically self update with ALL future updates, minor & major

Super neat. It's a real bummer that you only got a handful of upvotes after two submissions :( I for one will definetely pimp this towards other SQL noobs like me.
I'm late into the party but I wanted anyway to say "wow" and "thanks". Super well done, super efficient, perfect for raw SQL noobs like me. Thanks :)

To be honest, you don't read reddit daily :)

Fun stuff :)

IMHO the fact that "mocha" got the highest engagement also shows that it's the most easy word to type, as opposed to, say, "macchiato"

I fail at seeing the XKCD principle here. Instead of something memorable yet secure, the default settings got me "24!live!MARKET!page!22" which is higly unmemorable.
Sounds cool but I think the WordPress implementation is TERRIBLE: it depends on a WordPress fork that is completely outdated, instead of downloading an up-to-date fresh archive.
It's definitely not ironic or "theatre" for non-muslins. It's taking "politically correct" to the whole new level of "please don't kill me".

I see there's still a market for stating the obvious... I was expecting something more disruptive or innovative or helpful, to be honest.

Didn't know that one! The dry humor is f*ing priceless :)

(For the record, I think "con" and "cunt" are very identical, since they both mean "nasty idiot" and "female genitalia")

Looks very promising, I'll try ASAP. Thanks for the accented chars btw
Time to team up with someone abroad... What's the niche about? :)
Is there any potential for improvement? Like, devote more time to it and make more? 1 hour a day = 31 hours a month = $80/h, roughly put.

Another thing: once logged in, I cannot find a way back to the Chrome extension. There should be some "tools" page or something :)
