  1. Poll: When do you find time to work on your startup?

    For the past month I've been spending an hour or two after work coding for my startup. On a whim, I decided to get up an hour early today and code before I went in to work. Turns out I'm twice as productive in the…

  3. Poll: Do you live in Silicon Valley?

    The previous Poll about where people live ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30210378 ) was supposed to answer the question if HN is mostly used by people who live in Silicon Valley, but failed to include Silicon…

  5. Poll: What video game console do you have?

    I'm looking at buying a video game console for me and my wife and I wonder what console the HNewers use. I'm including last, and previous generation consoles as well as portables. Vote them up if you still use them.

  6. Poll: Purchasing music online, MP3 or FLAC?

    Doing some research for my next project, I hope this isn't too off-topic. Your favorite band just released a digital-only album for sale online. You get your choice of two download formats, they're both the same price.…

  10. Poll: Change the name of computer science to informatics?

    I think the name should be changed, since it's not dependent on experimentation, and largely has nothing to do with the physical implementation of computers.

  11. Poll: How do you use Posterous?

    I know the big value proposition of Posterous is to post by email, but I find myself constantly using their web-based tool. Perhaps I'm using the wrong platform as I just get so nitpicky over a post that I just want to…

  14. Poll: Have you changed your passwords after Heartbleed?

    Seeing Namecheap's "Urgent security warning that may affect all internet users" on the frontpage [1] got me thinking. I only changed 2 or 3 logins due to Heartbleed. I was certainly too lazy to update the ~200 logins I…

  15. Poll: What do you think about AI-generated filler images?

    The prolific use of AI generated imagery that seem vaguely related to the topic of blog posts and articles on the web has been bothering me for a while, and I'm wondering if I'm the weird one here. More often than not,…

  18. Poll: What did you name the parent dir where you keep code?

    What is the name of the folder you clone your repos into? I'm curious, but also, if I create a coding demo video for devs, I'd probably use the most popular name just for familiarity. If it's something else, add it to…

  20. Poll: laptop & monitor: side by side or monitor on top

    On our dev team, 6 of 8 developers have their laptop on the desk with their external monitor just above it. In my experience this is a fairly rare setup, but I think it's much more comfortable, less head movement,…
