Technically no. I read up on the spec a while back. GET parameters are probably better referred to as URL args, and they're always retrievable via the URL in the first line of the HTTP request. In the case of a POST, the content of the request may (also) have arguments.

It's not super common to use both, but it's definitely not disallowed by the spec.

It's in the latest arc package.

So I can tell when there are threads with comments I haven't read (via vlink coloring)? I guess it was less of an issue on news.yc, but here I'm really interested in reading what folks are saying.

Nicely done.

Also, your list comprehension note (for blog post display) again highlights the need for better slicing on sequences in Arc. With that plus the [ _ ] form, I think Arc would've beaten you on token count.

noprocrast mode is supposed to keep you from procrastinating by using the forum. It's probably not so useful here, but it's a carryover from news.yc.

If you turn it on, maxvisit is the maximum session length here. minaway is the minimum time away from the site before you can start a new session. The site'll catch you breaking the rules, but you can continue despite its warning not to.

But, unlike ~ and complement, no:litmatch works.

I never claimed "encouraged." I just said nothing disallows it. Browsers all seem cool with it, so why shouldn't your web server be?
