OK, you definitely get it :) Love what you wrote below: "No documentation survives its first encounter with a real newcomer." I hope it didn't seem like I was accusing you of negligence – the docs you have are an awesome star

I'm totally on board with the "contributions welcome" response from open source maintainers, but when it's the only response to questions about documentation it's pretty off-putting. This is your project, how could

Eh, the warning is also easily dismissable (how often do you see that?) and they take no further action. Plus, they seem to be remembering the dismissal, and haven't showed me the warning since the first load. Definitely not an unreaso

As a semi-casual in NLP, HN frontpage more or less takes care of the big news.

My parents met at a Philip Glass concert and actively encouraged me to listen to Sun Ra. I've known all along that my taste is an extension of theirs. Thanks, mom & dad.

I'll admit, I've been doing frontend for a while and I hadn't heard of the <wbr> element. Thanks for the pointer!

Does anyone have a pointer to a list of these lists? Would be interesting to know what models people use on a day-to-day basis, like usesthis.com for the brain.
