>Line break his. Ew. And he's going to chastise other people design aesthetic?

I wish people thought more before making comments like this.

First, there's a slideshow service being used. Most aspects of the slideshow come from the service's engine, not from the guy who did the presentation.

Second, there's no "line-break", much less it is "his". Get a larger monitor/device or enlarge the browser window. If you're seeing one, it's a hyphenation added by the slideshow service's CSS for widths under some size. Definitely not there for everybody, and definitely not "his".

I try to stay out of Design-related posts on HN, especially ones that mention 'Flat' or 'Skeuomorphic'. Everyone suddenly turns into Dieter Rams mixed with Jonny Ive.

Although I don't love/hate this post either way, the comments in here for the most part are just awful, classic HN middlebrow dismissal at its best mixed with a spattering of ad hominem.

Hah! That's pretty brilliant. Nicely done, Vimeo. OK, who else has awesome source-code easter eggs?

I really cannot parse that first paragraph, can anyone translate? (Or OP change it)

The author of the parent comment set up his own 'experiment' on the roof of the school that was planned to go off at graduation. I am assuming it was nothing malicious but something 'fun' like fireworks.

Unfortunately for the author, another student climbed the roof and discovered the 'experiment'. He reported it to a gym teacher, who was suspicious of what is was and subsequently called the Bomb Squad, therefore spoiling the graduation 'surprise'.
