Equating memorizing import paths - something IDEs have been doing automatically for decades now - to 'basic ability' might be the dumbest thing I've read this year.

It's a valuable skill to recognize which knowledge is important, and which is fluff you shouldn't waste cycles on. Knowing what a hashmap is useful for, when to use it, and when it's suboptimal, is important. Memorizing import paths is not.


I uhh.. what?


I think it means he does not do any self-hosting.


opposite of correct


Check the URL of the archived thread.


Okay, I've done that. The only thing I can think of to specifically look at is the ID fragment. I see the same ID in the archived thread on reddit.com and the archived thread stored on github.io (I'm not sure which source to disambiguate "archived thread" to).

My point was/is that the threads are identical, and given the different titles points to an supposedly-impossible ability to change thread titles. This is very interesting to me.

In case I'm [still] missing the point you're trying to get at. Further clarification and patience is appreciated.


he explained the point. The archived copy has been redacted, the whole reason the archive exists (and the original deleted) is because its impossible to redact the information on reddit while leaving the rest of the post intact.
