It hasn’t been the right thing to do since 2004.

Just use LaTeX and kopipe the PDF output. Easy enough.

Stop posting this. The information on this page is wrong.
the X Window System fonts contained for a long time the following mutually symmetric glyphs
These shapes were even sanctioned by an early US version of the ISO 646 standard (ANSI X3.4, also known as ASCII)
He seems to imply that this practice exists because of a hack in a certain system (similar to Japanese computers replacing the backslash with a Yen symbol) but this isn't the case. The standard goes back to the original ASCII publication, before the X Window System was even conceived.

Not all characters look exactly how they should, because ASCII only seven bits to work with so characters can have multiple meanings. For example, ' is used as an apostrophe, " is used as a double prime, and - is used as a dash. All have been superseded by dedicated Unicode characters, but for some reason people like to pick on old ASCII quotation marks yet have no problem with these.

It's not just a meme, it's a standard, even if it's an outdated one.

he has a philosophy degree, no qualifications to be a scientist, let alone a computer "scientist"

this is one of the most innovative features introduced by javascript. inferior class-based languages have been plagued by a redundant self argument in functions; this is both pointless and error-prone. plus, self is a shitty variable name anyway.

this, however, is an elegant concept; the runtime can decide on the object to use without programmers being bothered to specify it themselves. this increases productivity, enhances readability, and guarantees good behavior

what gives you the right to denounce it?

Yes, and ASCII changed to Unicode/ISO 8859 in most fonts and now the quotes look ugly as fuck. Things can change. Did you even read the page?

They looked like that in the original, printed document (which I have on my desk). The X people chose to make symmetric glyphs because of ASCII, not the other way around.

Java is a ``class-based'' language and introduced this way before your dad was fucking your hook-nosed mom.

Fuck off, Javashit kike, you never were funny and we've seen you using /g/ ``memes''.

Javascript > you.
