It's missing the "Why I'm leaving HN (This time for good)"
and "A front page HN story about how being on the front page of HN changed my business"
and "A rambling article about how voting is broken on HN"
and "How I lived out of a shoebox and traveled the world on a bicycle while creating my startup"
Anybody interested in more, I refer you to my javascript parody of two years ago, "Roll Your Own Linkbait Tech Headline": http://www.whattofix.com/blog/archives/2011/01/roll-your-own...
Should probably be marked 'unflag', too...
Don't forget "10% of a UNIX manpage typed out in hipster compatible phraseology and intimated like it's forbidden knowledge."
more like 'hipster' knowledge.
they have fixed gear bikes, we have custom compiled FreeBSD kernels because we don't know what we are doing.

"Show HN: Bluestrap, a Twitter Bootstrap theme with more blue"
You are missing the "How I lived out of a shoebox and traveled the world on a bicycle while creating my startup that teaches people how to live out of a shoebox and traveled the world on a bicycle while..."
It also needs "Apologist piece on why copyright infringement is good (torrentfreak.com)" with "94 polarized comments".
Polarized comments? Usually it's all the apologists and me in there. I didn't know there was anyone else who wasn't an apologist for copyright infringement. Nice to meet you
It also needs clever comments that tell the article what it is missing.
"A long personal essay with a moving anecdote on why surviving cancer is more important than building a startup"
"Why you should always validate your first $100M in sales with a mockup, before writing a single line of code"
"How we can implement Ayn Rand's ideas on success to solve world hunger with crowdsourced electronics"
"What is success, anyway?"
"HN is great but the design is terrible! So here is my innovative version(filled with just eye candies)"
"How I learn to program in 30 minutes and bootstrapped my first startup"
"Show HN: My new social network that will change the world", from the author of the previous article
Later that day: "That social network from earlier today has a gaping security hole (uses default Rails scaffolding)"
Also: "I made something awesome in a functional language"
Do you honestly need a shoebox and a bicycle?
"How I finally ditched my shoebox and found the successful startup I always wanted"
And then the post mortem / lessons learned and how next time I'll use Lean Startup (shit, do I need to pay Eric Rice a licensing fee for mentioning the generic term that existed since he was in diapers, but trademarked somehow?).
I'm surprised nobody has included this:
Unknown or expired link. http://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=ZVizUZJ5Ar
"How I managed to get VIM to work just like Eclipse. With dotfiles."
Every online community needs a good flounce every now and again. Extra points for the 'I just wanted to see if you all loved me really' reverse flounce shortly afterwards!
"What I learned from Steve Jobs?"
"How iPad kills PCs"
"My iCruft and Me"
And it's missing a post pointing out things missing on another post about things missing out on another post about...umm...uhhh
It's also missing "Summer LL(2013)"
"Apple makes the only developer laptop"
