    Back in the day it was decided comment replies were core functionality. It either is or it isn’t, not some half assed enhancement.

    This commit essentially says comment replies are no-longer core functionality. Clicking reply “too early” can currently explode JavaScript.

    Result: on a large comment thread, attempting to reply to a comment can kill the feature all together even for users running JavaScript.

    On an ideal network this is fine, most people are not on ideal networks. Fuck, parts of Florida are stuck on shitty 2G connections.

    A three year old ticket with negative usability implications should not go from comatose to punted to committed over the course of a night.

  • After being ignored trying to buy a PVR in three shops, the government buying Gerry Harvey’s propaganda is galling.

  • For your podcatcher, audio of Mark Scott’s talk last night. https://huffduffer.com/peterwilsoncc/244826

  • I believe watching the #WCEU stream over second-class Australian broadband will be just like being there. So goes the mantra.

  • Official status as @Joy949 volunteer came through last night following @AviOnJOY‘s successful goading.

  • Zero: positive, negative, neither or both?

  • Way to ruin the weekend of a bunch of Apple execs, Tay. Four and a half stars.
