The HN rules still apply.
Please do not be disrespectful toward others.
Separate the commenter from the comment.
Smart commenters still make dumb comments now and then. And vice versa.
Consequently, the "identity" of the commenter is not a reliable predictor of the quality of the comment.
Shared accounts such as this one can address this problem.
Each comment must stand on its own, apart from identity and historical karma.
Got some links? Would love to read.
Why are you blathering about tea?
That depends on how selfish you are.
While I'm sure it's annoying, this post is not a good look and reads rather unhinged. I'm also not sure what it's meant to accomplish other than venting.

> Parsing HTML isn’t trivial: aside from bad/invalid HTML (think: missing opening/closing tags, quotes, etc), there’s also a lot of content that requires javascript to render in the first place, for example, which means…
Speaking of Atom/RSS: There's no reason to have a separate /archives resource and a /feed.xml (with or without content negotiation). You can just specify some external XSLT with an xml-stylesheet processing instruction…

A bookmarklet is more or less just a JS expression that executes on command (the user's, that is). The execution model is approximately the same as for content-delivered scripts, and it's subject to the same…
You don't need an extension to do that. You can get by with a bookmarklet, which would be wise, considering how much contempt browser makers have for extension authors.
They are approximately as big of a risk as any other third-party code you install from the Web onto your machine (e.g. tools from dev SDKs).
What is "OWF" here? Open Web Foundation? If so, that's such a weird choice to mention. It has approximately nothing to do with browser standards. It's not even as if it's a ceremonial figurehead or something. It just…

As always, it needs to be said that selection bias is a thing; these surveys do not show people who <blank>. They measure Stack Overflow users who <blank> (... and then responded to a request to complete a survey that…
Everyone is quick to say something like, "You're not living by the same standards that were the norm 90 years ago." The response is wanting. Notably, it's not the same as saying, "You could work that much if you…

Not true. It is an option by virtue of the fact that is a public repository. (If you fail to specify a license on a public repository, the terms that apply are not the default "all rights reserved [by the…
If you "don't have an issue" with JavaScript but you think the tools you're using are bad because of the "depth of hole you can quickly end up in though is not to be underestimated", then perhaps you should reconsider…

Instead of whinging you could just write your own script, if for some reason you're not okay with running the same code as tons of other people?
