Such an awful name! From that perspective, a $200k legal battle makes total sense in comparison.

I wonder if we should just rename JavaScript to something else (not ECMAScript, which is an awful name). Would be difficult to coordinate, but I think if runtimes start incorporati…

Genuinely interested, if the ' represents skipped letters, how does this read to you? As an aside, if you have the sentence "This is Lewis' reply to the parent comment" the ' at th…

The Mascis effect

It also reminds me of how a lot of the most coveted guitars, pedals, amps weren't selected by the guitarists who made iconic because they had some sort of secret sauce in them, but…

I like to take photos and sometimes write things down! In a sense you're assembling a sound sculpture. But once you've found a great sound and lost it, sometimes you end up finding…

Do you have an example of the misinformation?

Valid point! But I strongly believe it depends on how you define success. On paper, you’re right, Reddit is the textbook definition of a successful company, with insane amounts of …

Absolutely! Even Reddit itself already had multiple subreddits per topic, and I think that there will still be enough subreddits for people to go on.

He “leaked” the legally recorded private conversation after being libellously accused of blackmail by the company. I think it’s a perfectly legal and morally valid defence. This, p…

I think it’s already too late for the API pricing situation, but there’s always the opportunity to learn from this and never make a series of mistakes of this magnitude again.

I think I read it’s going to go live at 10-10:30am PT
