that TAS isn't THAT impressive, given that the same techniques can be abused to produce this: http://tasvideos.org/5384S.html
Also, the detailed rejection response to TASbot plays Twitch, remarks that actually running the Twitch client code on the SNES is possible (with SNES having web connection peripherals) rather than just streaming the chat output video through a controller. The submission and the responses are located at http://tasvideos.org/4947S.html if you want to check them.
If this is a genuine question, NPM made quite a few changes, including no longer allowing package versions to be deleted after they've been up for more than 72 hours. It's not possible to "pull the plug" on an entire package that a lot of people are depending on anymore without working with NPM support.
Many current programming languages and libraries go with start/end rather than left/right precisely because of RTL languages. Clarifying "start (left)" doesn't seem unreasonable to help readers of English documentation understand, though it should probably say "start (left in left-to-right languages)".
I wonder if this is a continental thing? I grew up in Europe and everybody always pronounced SNES as "snes", then recently visiting America and chatting to a bunch of geeks, I was surprised that they all called it the "ess enn ee ess"
I rarely have an excuse to say it out loud, but my default would be 'Super Nintendo'. Not sure if that's standard here (Australia), but it's what I remember hearing as a kid.
This is such a common comment on HN that it makes me believe that a small portion of the population doesn't realize that "hey, that word can mean multiple things" is a thought everyone has all the time without considering it particularly noteworthy.
Of course, it's really just an opportunity for some weak posturing like "heh, I thought you meant floppy as in the floppy disk, something us grey beards had back in our day ;)."

Oh how I wish this were true; but from what I've seen, the vast majority of arguments in the world today boil down to people assuming that their own definition of a word is the only valid definition of that word :(
(As an example, person A might say "feminism [meaning man-hating] is bad", and person B might say "no you're wrong, feminism [meaning equality] is good!"; and then even though they both actually agree 100% about the fundamental ideas, they end up as bitter enemies, deeply offended by each other, because they can't see that they're actually talking about different things...)
