Ask HN: How many displays do you work with?

3 pointslarelli14y ago9 comments

On your main computer - the one you use most of the time - how many displays do you have? When designing tools for the HN community (like the chat just being discussed), could you just assume everyone on HN has at least two displays?

This isn't a very useful way of doing a poll now that the number of comment votes is hidden.

Hah, indeed. I thought of that fact myself as soon as I had created the vote. However I remembered that there have been votes about the upvote-count being reimplemented since it has been turned of, so I hoped there would be a upvote-count for topics starting with "Ask HN". Obviously not. :(

Not to the rest of us, it's not. But it's a not-so-sneaky way for the OP to get karma votes.

Hehe... honestly I'm even less sneaky and didn't realize that comment upvotes give you karma as well. Now I'll have to craft more submissions of this kind (e.g. "Should larelli get the karma? Yes/No?").
