Has Canonical still said nothing about this?

The conclusion is inescapable: they do not care. And that is why we should all find alternatives.

But what is it? "Learn more" is just videos.

Seeing as this subthread has already derailed into a discussion of expression, I'll take this opportunity to express my disrespect for the new trend of using the word "disrespect" as a verb.

Could you explain how this is fair and effective? I would be interested in reading something other than bald assertions and cyclic argument ("it's bad because it's bad").

The parent didn't ask for a link to a video, so a link to a video cannot be an answer to the question. Perhaps you could summarise or quote the part of the video that you believe answers the question.

And what if I have already incurred the cost and am happy with my decisions, and they differ to yours? I now cannot use your potentially useful tool, even if 90% of our decisions do accord with each other. That's disappointing.

> And if you can't depend on it, why have it?

That's a bit rich. There are other conventions in programming that you can't depend on technically but serve a real purpose. Identifier naming and comments are the first that come to mind.

If a language gives you a choice of token that has no semantic distinction then different people will adopt different semantics by convention.

As an aside, calling a tool "opinionated" is code for "my conventions are better than yours". That's fine if I don't have any conventions or I can't decide, but if I have decided, then it's just offensive.

Can we please stop using pre blocks for quotations?!

Is it just me or is the web fading into a pallid morass of unreadable grey on grey?

Perhaps it's not just me?

This needs to be done for javascript as well.

That's not static. That's client-side dynamic.

Words have broadly agreed meaning, despite what you or Humpty Dumpty may think.

One way to see if words are synonyms is to apply them to compound terms. In this case, "bullshit artist" is something that "rubbish artist" isn't.

"No copyright infringement intended" means "I have no idea what copyright is". Altogether a dumb thing to put on a resume.

Unreadable on mobile (pre text or something preventing reflow). And no byline or date, so completely useless. Fuck off basically.

Thanks for telling us about your favorite hobby, how many you have played, where it fits in your personal spectrum, that it has been around for many years, and giving us some titles!

But, what is a German-style board game?

On iPad: how do I get this in the google cache??

Step 1: make site readable on android

And what about the implied warranty and fitness for purpose?

"Obviously" ... How?

What am I supposed to do?

"Neat" is not a headline

What's the story?

Tutorial doesn't work in ios

Is this Hacker News, or Hacker Random Communiqués?

Where's the news?

And now it just doesn't make sense at all:

We found 1140 results for "Obama" and an additional 6 that contained "Romney"" - likely because Obama's been president for four years.

Which I see you've added, and very nicely too. This is how it should be done: it tells a random visitor following a random link who you are and why to trust your words. Very minor point: if it were at the top (e.g. sub-heading), we see your bona-fides before reading the article.

It's not surprising when your articles have no byline.

No, it's very much active aggression, only covert. See also "politics".

Really? Where are they? Article index is empty.

And article needs a date before any award is bestowed.
