I have to say it again and again, that `web tools` may use JS but plain `web blogs` should not.

Those designer people don't care anything about performance, they aren't programmers still call themselves to be. Why does a blog site even need Javascript? Perhaps no AdBlocker may recognize a non-intrusive ad like good olden days without computer vision.

Anyway, I thought I was only one worried about use of JavaScript by `nonprogrammers` as Crockford puts it.

Most users from third world countries can't distinguish between ads and content.

extremum134 | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What scripts/cronjobs you have made that made your life generally easier

In android terminal, I made a script which would set a nice coloured PS1, a few handy aliases, shell functions & PATH extensions upon app startup. BTW command line on android is very useful.

Agreed, reddit is now full of corporate fanboys.

extremum134 | 7 years ago | on: “12 years ago today, I finished writing Hacker News”

Anyway, it feels somewhat more scholarly than reddit.
