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 com…

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 conf…

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 …

> 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 …

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://…

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 no…

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 impartin…

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 s…

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 …

No, you're done. > language that's already ~30 years old by now Relevance?

Sounds like a double standard and possibly moving the goalposts. There are strongly typed languages that don't have those features, and compiler codebases that don't use that kind …

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-…

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 whe…

You are limited to one *.neocities.org site, otherwise it's $60 per year.
