The HN rules still apply.
Please do not be disrespectful toward others.
Separate the commenter from the comment.
Smart commenters still make dumb comments now and then. And vice versa.
Consequently, the "identity" of the commenter is not a reliable predictor of the quality of the comment.
Shared accounts such as this one can address this problem.
Each comment must stand on its own, apart from identity and historical karma.
Fortunately, although it is pay-to-play, it's not pay-to-win. Oracle (or any other well-heeled player) can spend half a million or more in legal fees trying to go after a small company, but that doesn't mean that…
That marks attempt #3 here at begging the question.
This is the second instance of an attempt on your part to use circular reasoning so that it might be impossible to argue with you. It's clear now that you're just here for the conflict, and not (sound) resolutions. This…
The remark "you might want to reconsider whether your powers of self-diagnosis" is not using "consider" in the same sense that I used it in the comment you're replying to. You are not really asking me to consider…
> I never said that I know. I said it. Why am I having to repeat this? > what part of your description was condescending What? I'm not saying my description was condescending. It is a description of your reply. It…
Two straightforward questions. You already dodged one when it was framed as an observation; I'll repeat it again as an explicit question. 1. Do you think that your comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26628064…
You're right, it's my quote--where I gave an inline description about what was condescending about it. Since you asked, I repeated it.

Actual problem: not understanding the distinction between a bug report and form meant for "asking others to do something for you".
You're pointing to cases to invalidate the claim as if that claim was supposed to be interpreted to be bracketed by a universal quantifier. It wasn't, and arguing in that way is not particularly insightful. "You can…
So you're doubling down on condescendingly explaining how to human. Cool. Consider this: I have a high emotional IQ and acutely understand whatever lesson you think you're imparting here, I just don't have the kind of…
I'll note that you didn't start your response here with pleasantries, and no one else has, either. By leaping at the opportunity to condescendingly explain human behavior, you've slipped into attacking a strawman. Take…
Strong disagreement from here. I don't want that kind of stuff in bug reports for the same reason that I don't want to have to deal with "hello", "good morning", from coworkers in messenger applications, and I will…
No, you're done. > language that's already ~30 years old by now Relevance?
You know all those jokes that people like Linus make about Real Programmers—the ones who have hair on their chests, etc—you know those are all jokes, right? Jokes in the laughing-at-them sort of way, the way Colbert did…
Write a compiler in a strongly typed language, and then remove all the type annotations. This may come as a shock, but this is what a compiler (or any codebase) could look like when developed in a weakly typed language.

Hacker News was never good.
You must be new here to expect Hacker News to read an article before commenting.
That’s right. I use an 18-year-old laptop.
> "crook" [...] Better to just not say anything if you're only parroting buzzwords. The buzzword of 2020/2021 appears to be "grifter" and its variations. On topic with the article and related to this is the word…
> more of these as wikis, or GH repos The people who live on GitHub are unfortunately unable to recognize any distinction.
That's fine, because it's not exactly clear what "ld" stands for to begin with. If anyone asks, you could just say that the W and E stand for "Weally Efficient".
