What most fascinates me about this whole kerfuffle is your adamant refusal to take responsibility for anything. All I've seen from you is continued insistence that nothing is your …

Okay. Now malware addons are signed, and nothing has been accomplished.

If you want a browser that never changes anything, doesn't know what its users use it for, and has no opinions on what kinds of plugins you install... Might I interest you in Inter…

This "bizarre policy" was software signing, which is in fact a security feature. I don't understand what "getting their act together" means here, when you're posting it on an annou…

but hey, that's what CWs are for

It's bad that the runtime is fragmented. Google will fix it by creating a new runtime

"Once the commercial world catches up to python 3..." fwiw, lack of PyPy support is one of the most common reasons I hear for people being leery of Python 3. Of course the people u…

What do you do when a value passes between major versions which have different implementations of its type? What do you do with the `int` type, which was actually two separate type…

The default text size in every browser, as far as I'm aware, is actually 16px. The text on Hacker News is 12px, because virtually every designer decides they know better than the b…

Overall, I don't think Doom 2 is actually much more abstract than Doom 1. I suspect the real difference is that all of Romero's levels were clumped together in the shareware episod…

"Yes, hello, Nintendo? Let's talk business. I'm a starving artist and I want to sell some Pikachu buttons."

Why not? It's your work. You can't really be competing with Nintendo, because they can't create that same picture, because they don't employ you. Also you are extremely unlikely to…

You seem to be assuming that derivative work doesn't require hard work of its own. I tried to make the point that this game is itself a derivative of other things, without which it…

Undertale doesn't have achievements, leaderboards, modding, or multiplayer. I think it has cloud save, but it's like a 6-hour game so that's not a particularly alluring feature her…

I'm not talking about putting someone else's art on buttons. I'm talking about artists putting their own art on buttons.

I hope you can imagine why I might not want to reinstall the OS and have to redeploy half a dozen other things, just so this particular one gets easier.

You lost me right around the point where you compared x86 vs x86_64 to a toaster and a teapot. Nothing about Ruby forum software necessitates a 64-bit kernel. (Which I have, incide…

Last time I complained about this, a few people said exactly the same thing, but naming a different product.

It also warns you if you try to use gmail to send mail, because gmail throttles you to only sending 2000 emails per 24 hours.

I observe that they'll happily charge you $99 to install it on your machine for you.

Actually I suggest writing less code, assuming that Docker is a whole lot of code and "what if we write down dependencies" is more interface than code.

The operative word is needs , since Docker is the only supported way to install this particular software. Which is, I cannot stress enough, a forum .

Sorry, I forgot to painstakingly document the innumerable hours I spent reading documentation (or trying to find critical documentation that didn't exist). I didn't think that woul…

Yes, my OS is slightly "weird" for reasons I did not choose. Funny story: while I was trying to figure out what the hell RVM was doing, I mostly ran across people running OS X who …

This has never caused any problems before. I'd actually completely forgotten about it until RVM or Ruby or RubyGems (I haven't decided yet who to blame) choked. And it wasn't my ch…
