Well, then just ignore them --or show them with bold and _italics_, Markdown style. Although, I think modern terminals can do bold fonts, e.g this gives you bold in bash: echo -e "\033[1mtest\033[0m again"

Because tables are a basic, centuries old, typographic feature that is also needed -no ifs or buts- in HTML editors?

The news, to you at least, might be that HN readers don't read each and every article religiously on the front page, day in and day out. Thus, a large subset of us can discover and discuss an article after multiple postings.

How about neither, and just try to comprehend that tables are a common use case that if we haven't perfected yet in HTML editors it's web programmers/standards' fault and not Word's?

Only I don't want my text to be "strong", I want it to be bold, and I don't want my italicized items to me "emphasized", I bloody want them in italics. I don't consider my bolds and italics to be mere style and much less I consider them mer

Huh? The answer is actually no. Not just for the legal (and or trivial) reasons that he wouldn't have neither the ethnicity not the nationality, but he also wouldn't share the chinese culture.

Except if the memes involve common startup, functional programming, or fad-of-the-year memetic behavior, in which case they are encouraged.

Well, Python has "self", that you have to explicitly pass. Not the best example.

Yes, by Joel Spolsky. Only it's not 100% accurate. Some people DO use a different 10%, but the grand majority uses the same 10% (and occasionally has a need for something outside of that).

Which means absolutely nothing. If two Americans have a kid while living in China, would that make him a Chinese?

They were not 3D games for starters. So he would have to abuse the "better environment". Second, he specifically mentioned the ease of deployment to all kinds of devices and the ease of collaboration on the development of the same game.
