Nothing is "hijacked"; it just sets the hash to allow permalinks. It should probably actually load the state when pressing back (or replace the current entry instead of adding a new one). But that's just a bug and not malice,

There are degrees of things. I've had my issues with Zig, mostly relating to things changing, but I've never had these types of issues. "Beta" can mean many things. Gmail was "beta" for over a decade. Just poin

The only "sigh" here is the boring and predictive act of someone linking that xkcd as the most laziest and unimaginative content-free put-down that you can do. Lots of people post ideas to Hacker News. Lots of good ideas, lots of

It reads like a parody, but the author is pretty serious; they've tried to fairly aggressively inject it in the Wikipedia article as well.

I think you will always have this sort of thing for anything that's primarily driven by a standard (e.g. C, but also most web stuff) versus anything that's primarily driven by one specific implementation (most other languages). Th
