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.
It's more the rampant racism, conspiracy theorism, and calls to violence. Ironically their leadership engages in both of the labeling behaviors of which you complain. This is all documented in the link SauciestGNU provided.
There are only 2577 words on that page you linked, and most of them talk about the oathkeepers protecting businesses in Fergusson, the oathkeepers forming a buffer around the Malheur protestors in Oregon, and the oathkeepers responding to the Bundy and Oregon gold miner situations.
You did not read your own link, or you are putting all your eggs on the "McCain is a traitor" quote, which since McCain is a republican, you should love, and the Hilary rant about house to house confiscation of guns, which she has never outright advocated publicly, but has strongly suggested in speeches. That quote may be a bit paranoid, which is why it was selected from thousands of quotes to be included on that web page.
EDIT: Sorry, but there are a pretty small universe of reasons for your dislike on the page linked. I listed them. That's not mind-reading, that's just deduction.
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.
Do you think a lot of people are running JS in a container for frontend? I wouldn't consider a webserver container a "JS container", even it were mostly serving a React/Vue/Angular app.
By the way it's worded, it sounds like the question is specifically talking about NodeJS.
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.
Maybe the distinction he is trying to make is between academic work and non-academic work (hence the emphasis on scholarship). Non-academics can do research but what makes it academic is its placement in the broader context of civilized endeavors.
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.
Seems odd. We have a non-zero (hopefully pretty good) chance of spotting an incoming asteroid, at which point we would calculate everything about the time, place, and severity of the strike with extremely high precision. We have none of that for earthquakes.
