There's not really much connection between asking someone to redo their whole website and them actually doing it. That seems like work.

- smcin 2y agoAlso, the discussion forums aren't "their whole website". Kaggle is about running data-science notebooks and kernels, on GPU/TPU(/CPU), and noone's suggesting they change that. The discussion forum (or competition leaderboards, or datasets, or submission API) are adjacent pieces to that.
- smcin 2y agoThere absolutely is, in this case. Kaggle was acquired by Google in 2017, and is a showcase for compute on Google cloud, Google Colab, Kaggle Kernels. Fixing the JS on their forums would be a rounding error in their budget. (Also, FYI, I've previously posted feedback pieces in Kaggle forums that got a very warm direct response from the executives, although that was before the acquisition.) So, for the average website, you'd be right, but not for Google Cloud/Colab's showcase property. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13822675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13822675
