Ironically, this page hangs Chrome indefinitely when I try to load it. Luckily it only hangs the tab so I can still close it. I guess I'll fire up Firefox to see if I can actually read the article.
Edit: Actually, it loads fine in a private browsing tab, so it must be a bad interaction with some extension. Oh well.
- tfb 13y agoIt loads instantly for me. I'm using Chrome 31.0.1650.57 on Windows 7.
- rcthompson 13y ago31.0.1650.57 on OSX 10.9. Firefox handles it just fine. Could be some interaction with an extension I have installed.
- dfc 13y agoI am curious why you find this ironic? What is your definition of irony?
- pritambaral 13y agoChrome uses V8. Chrome is the primary user of V8. Not supporting OP's definition of irony, whatever it is, just speculating how OP could've thought of it.
- dfc 13y agoI have a strange hang-up/interest in people's concept of irony. I am not sure Alanis Morissete would be able to find any irony in this situation.
- TylerE 13y agoI think he meant "Chrome uses V8, which is also used by Node.js"
- kbenson 13y agoI find the interest in how irony is identified and (mis)used much more interesting than the actual use or misuse itself. I guess you could say I have a hang-up about your hang-up, or an interest in your interest. ;)
- dfc 13y ago"Ironically" is a word that you see and hear frequently in everyday english. I think its interesting how varied people's concept of irony is for such a common word. From what I can tell most people's definition is something between "serendipity's evil twin" and "partially related." It seems in this case OP thinks the definition is the latter. I think that sooner or later "ironically" is going to have the same fate as "randomly," ("It is so random we ran into you, we were just talking about you.) which I think has zero meaning in conversational english. To be honest i think most people's definition of irony is largely shaped by Alanis Morissette's terribly misinformed but catchy song and the hipster d-bag that says he has an "ironic mustache." I think it is the evolution of language that is interesting? It seems like we have a case of the more a word is used the definition becomes less concise until it carries no meaning. There has to be some linguistic jargon for this type of situation.
- mercer 13y ago"Serendipity's evil twin." That made my evening, for some reason. It's exactly how I'd define the term by how I find it used. Thanks!
