Haven't been here a while and the first 2 links I clicked are walled. Seems like shilling sites to the front-page of HN might be a decent business.

Firefox is my primary browser, so it doesn't affect me, however this has already caused confusion within the web agency world I work in, both with technical staff and clients.

If we were living in the colonial days, only the British would be calling them "radical" or "extremists". :D

Men of authority pledging not to bow to unconstitutional orders against citizens. Actually seems noble.

I suspect they get the "radical" and "extremist" label from our culture where those who aren't on the "correct" political side are labeled a Nazi or Communist.

FWIW, I knew it was a clever reference to the GOT sword after reading the title. It's obvious the project isn't based on or associated with a group using the same common words. Whether they are actually "extremist" is a different matter.

Like the Stack Overflow survey, this one does not distinguish server-side/client-side JavaScript, making it look far more popular than it actually is when considering the data in context of server-side technologies.

If 100% of the servers were running PHP, the results would likely be 50% PHP, 50% JavaScript.

These survey writers need to modify their question, or add another one specifically requesting server-side tech so JS can be accurately compared with server-side only languages.

Boycott all AT&T services we can if they are blocking. Mobile + DirecTV too.

Paywall, from the US at least.

The word research is pretty vague in comparison to the context the author interprets its meaning. He over-reaches on his explanation of what a researcher is, and leaves too much of a gap between researcher and tinkerer.

I agree, the unfortunately clever/punny name will detract from potential consideration based on illogical human subconscious thinking.

I really meant a 'cataclysmic astroid hit', one we could do nothing about... but fascinating point none the less.

Maybe it's from living in CA all my life, but having ridden many out many quakes, my concern for 'The Big One' is a little less than my concern is for an astroid hit... which isn't much.

Ads that auto pay audio on a developer blog, really?

New success quickly becomes the new baseline and a personality that chases success will continue to pursue greater success.
