While it may be useful, it is not a "beautiful" tool. "find" is one of the ugliest Unix tools to use due to the obscure, confusing and self-conflicting configuration options it takes.

Looking at this alexa rank: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/jvns.ca the mystery is why this site needs "Cloudflare" or a "Content Distribution Network" at all.

It says "in:spam" at the top though. I looked at my gmail spam and didn't find any of these.

Anything to do with Javascript is prey to churn. Many modern web pages consist of a blank page which loads various bits of Javascript from various servers which then process other Javascript via Javascript templates into the final page. The

Thanks, it sounds a bit interesting, especially if it is about JavaScript dying (apologies to Hacker News moderators). I will take another look later on.

> You are assuming I'm calling other people stupid. No, I have no idea about you beyond the comment above, I have not even read your post history or profile. I was expanding on the point I made to include climate change.

by Safety1stClyde 9y ago
In a democratic system, the tactic of dismissing other people as stupid is not a successful one. I don't want to comment on Trump's campaign, but a similar thing certainly seems to have happened with the climate change debate.

What is the talk about? I tried skipping and found something about git, something about python, very inaudible.

It doesn't really make a lot of sense. If anything, Chinese people have more credibility than white people when writing about Chinese food, not less. That is not a new phenomenon either, since people like Ken Hom and Martin Yan have be
