You're right. I'm going to go back to uuencoding my tar files and posting them on usenet.

I use industry standard IOCCC formatting rules. Doesn't everyone?

It's probably been stated a million times before but it's hard to remember what coding was like before github. CVS and subversion - what's that? Github is so pervasive that when a project uses another git code sharing site you just get annoyed. Github Issues may suck, but it's so darn convenient and so well integrated. It's far worse when a project uses another ticket tracking system and just uses github for pull requests. Just give in to our new code overlords and go with the flow.

Ah okay, so you're that guy whose code I have to reformat in every new job.

Unquoted keywords are valid ES5.1 object properties.

    alert(JSON.stringify({delete: "me", for: 1, var: 2}));
results in:

    {"delete":"me","for":1,"var":2}
The only browser it does not work in is IE8 and earlier.
Re:Redcon – Fast Redis-compatible server framework for Go on Saturday August 20, 2016 @07:10PM (#12328690)
It's not a server. You can't implement a redis-compatible server in 100 lines of Go code. How did this make it to the front page of HN?

The proposed logos don't look like anything. They either need more proposals or stick with the current logo.
