On a tangential note, did this guideline change recently? In some search results "e.g." changes to "things like".

The only thing missing is the actual expert making a clueful statement at the very bottom of the page where nobody reads. Possibly downvoted a couple of times.

Queue the hn reply: "Did you actually read the article? There is such a comment (guru3)."

Unrealistic. Not a single person complained about link not working with JavaScript disabled.

Since it was missing there I realized how am I overusing '[-]' instead of scrolling. Like Tarzan swing on vines.

(Also is this relavant or am I just piggy-backing your top comment?)

I wish they would just rewrite the website in a safe language like Rust.

I have stuff to say about JIT.
