The author is free to do as he/she wishes, but when I see profanity in the title I'm much less inclined to click on it. I wonder if I'm an anomaly and no one else cares, if other people feel the same way as I do, or if for every person like me, there's someone who is more inclined to click because they saw a swear word?
I couldn't fucking care less ;) Now seriously, it's probably due to cultural differences. Is profanity that frowned upon on the US (or wherever you're from)? It's surprising how sensitive the US is towards profanity for a country where "fuck" is used extensively in media. I literally didn't think anything about the domain but it's probably because lighthearted profanity is much more pervasive in my culture, where it'…
Personally I also find such domain names just childish (and therefore will be slightly negatively biased when first looking at them).
However I would never share them on FB, Twitter etc., as here locally (Kenya), swear words are much less accepted than in the West.

#73You might want to filter local and unroutable URLs, for example entering 127.0.0.1 renders a MAMP Pro page.
I reported the same thing, directly to the author.

And many others will think you are immature if you get butthurt or offended every time someone says a bad word. We are not 5 years old. Deal with it.
1) It's interesting to me that some people here are treating the right to be profane as some kind of moral absolute, in the exact manner that people who are against profanity often do. 2) Can you think of an example where some kind of language is offensive to you but not to someone else? If so, I hope you'd be able to relate to people you disagree with on this issue instead of denigrating them. 3) If a 5-year-old was…
1) Well for me it's more about being able to say whatever you want. It's up to other people to be offended by your words or not.
2) I guess if someone said something racist. (but then it would be more the racism that I find offensive and not really the words that they used)
3) No I wouldn't. I wouldn't give a shit if people of any age, including 0-5 year olds heard offensive language. They probably heard all of those words already. The only difference is that they will make a big deal about it, because their parents/teachers told them it was a 'naughty' word. There is no need to make a big deal about it, and that was what my point was.

In reality, it's not. The way you describe profanity is exactly how everyone I know here who uses it. It's just that we also have a culture of busy-bodies who think everyone should have to adhere to their lifestyle. They are a minority, but they are this particular type of pain in the ass in most aspects of life, so it's easy for them to make a lot of noise all on their own.

#77I'm all for cursing in private conversation with friends and such when it's appropriate - but why do people continue to think it's acceptable in public examples of work? Will this go on someone's resume like this? What will an employer think? I'm not questioning freedom of speech or self expression or anything like that. I'm simply saying, if you build a tool / live example / whatever and intend to show it to people…
Oh no! What will an empolyer think!? We must suplicate ourselves before our betters and beg forgiveness. Repent, sinners, repent! Fuck. That. Shit. EDIT: for a site that is focused on startups and entrepreneurship, y'all get really pissy when anyone challenges the employment status quo. When corporate culture can censor how people talk in colloquial ways, ways that are not at all harmful to anyone because words aren'…
100%.
What next? "TRIGGER WARNING: CURSE WORD AHEAD"
I just hope he didn't code this while wearing jeans, as those are only permitted on casual Fridays. KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL, HACKERS

#78Remember when you're writing applications like this, which accept an URL, you need to filter out `file://` URIs.
Otherwise you disclose arbitrary files, like this site does.

'FuckYeah' is very common on tumblr for site names i.e. fuckyeahcarebears or fuckyeahlawnmowers. Whenever I see fuckyeah anywhere, I immediately think it's a tumblr user or thing. My bias of course, but I can't be the only one... Also, had I paid more attention to the URL before clicking there's no way I'd have clicked on it whilst at work. I am now waiting for the Office Internet Police to come and have word with me…
Tease. There's no fuckyeahlawnmowers.tumblr.com
um, check again?
