I can't seem to get this to work for me (Firefox on Windows).

It sure does work for me, firefox on windows too.

Really?? Hmm, I wonder what's different on my setup then. Thanks for letting me know.

Adding #L7102 to the URL gets you straight to the quotes: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/...

I added #L7102-L7368, but it disappeared automatically after I clicked submit.

Yeah HN does that, screws up reddit comment links too.

What functionality in Notepad++ triggers showing one of these quotes?

I recall a feature that would show a quote in a new document each time the application was opened. I'm not sure if This is the same quotes in the source.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about this on Google but it was documented in one of the older change logs.

Sometimes it's OK to let loose and be a little immature. Life is short.

Some of the quotes are cancel-level inappropriate for 2022, though, so you may want to avoid promoting this topic in professional circles.

No,

we must cancel the cancel people.

Time to get back what is ours.

And keep the kids in safe spaces if they can't play outside.

It’s one of the most annoying features of HN. I’ve tried submitting GitHub comments to no avail, since it’s impossible to get a permalink to them.

It's curious to see how these quotes add over time and how they progress from dad jokes to more sophisticated, event statements Empty your memory, with a free(), like a pointer.\nIf you cast a pointer to a integer, it becomes the integer.\nIf you cast a pointer to a struct, it becomes the struct.\nThe pointer can crash, and can overflow.\nBe a pointer my friend." or Freedom of expression is like the air we breathe, w…

The first one is based on a Bruce Lee quote :) > Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. Now water can flow, or it can crash! Be water, my friend.

really gotta wonder if he really said it or its misattributed to him.
