As the maintainer for Ranvier I'm curious as to which you consider it: very raw or unmaintained? :P

No relevance to the topic? The title is: `<i is="the walrus">`, the topic is the usage and implementation of the `is=""` HTML attribute which is mentioned in the second sentence of the article. The lede isn't exactly buried
Re:C++17 Is Here: Interview with Herb Sutter on Tuesday October 24, 2017 @04:23PM (#15544928)
Safari (specifically iOS Safari) is definitely a bigger drag on newer features than IE at the moment. IE is a known quantity and Edge has particularly good support. Safari, however, seems to be a case of Apple, ostensibly, making completely arbitrary decisions on what to include or not.

Google developers definitely know there's a problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bZvq3nodf4

Exactly. If anything I appreciate when errors are _highlighted_ a la `sl` (Steam locomotive) for `ls` or the `gti` for `git` that has a golf gti run across the screen
Re:Why I Stopped Using Multiple Monitors on Thursday August 31, 2017 @03:50PM (#15143309)
If you got neck problems from moving your head 15 degrees side to side every once in a while you have much bigger issues or your monitors are positioned incredibly strangely.
It's not as if they generated some "average" code to make an apples to apples comparison, they arbitrarily grabbed files with very different purposes based on length.

So really all this does is show that different code with different purposes has different shapes. AKA, pointless. You would have to do this across huge numbers of files and average them out to have anything actually interesting to look at.

ha it was SMAUG for me too coincidentally enough. I still hack on it occasionally and eventually went on to make my own shitty codebase (RanvierMUD)

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was a MUD. Got into programming and the open source world the same way.
Not sure what you mean by repro but this is a simple command that would cause issues if you were to run it. Not issues with your tool, but BASH will background the command up to the ampersand and then set the variable other to 3

curl http://example.com/foo/123?stuff=1&other=3

Need to wrap the url in strings, having multiple query parameters (&) in the url will cause issues.

How long until douches stop calling themselves "ninja" devs, or "hackers"? Because I really can't wait for that day. It'll be a good day.

Looks like you got hacked (see bottom of page)
