I always assumed the 1969 movie “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” had something to do with the use of these names... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064100

It seems like the U should be “Unambiguous” rather than “Ubiquitous”?

I’ve been using it for most of those years, and still use it every day. We recently had to wrangle a bunch of 400Mb+ XML files, and everyone else’s editor struggled even to open them, while I happily regexed my way around extracting various

Hmm, pretty sure the Beav was long gone from the airwaves by 1969…

Yeah, I guess maybe this is what a 300 Multiple Choices[1] response was intended for but that seems to be underspecified and I’ve never seen it used. [1] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7231#section-6.4.1

Right, for the average user the barrier to entry for userscripts is significantly higher than for extensions. I recently released one (a small enhancement to the Netflix UI) in both forms for this reason: https://greasyfork.org&#

Honestly, the thing about other sites using your GA tag seems like the biggest red flag/potential for some Google algorithm to have actively started penalizing you. The timing doesn’t quite track, but maybe some interaction between tha

One nitpick about the responsive design—between width 1535 and about 1920, the Comments box appears in the left rail but it’s partly obscured. Seems like you should either adjust the media query to keep it at the bottom until there’s room t
