#12well how many man-hours do you need to intentionally waste before it is a good reason to not share? where's that line, for you? one of the worst things about open source is all the absolute crap that is claiming to be useful. how many man-millennia have been wasted because of the armies of people who have posted something they're proud of, but is complete rubbish, on npmjs.org?
Wow please stop with this gatekeeping. Seriously, people "posting their crap" is a great thing about open source. More should be encouraged to do so. If you look at my github profile you'll find the crap I wrote when I was 15 and still learning lua and python. The repos are of course archived and not claiming to be "web scale and enterprise ready", but nobody should shy away from learning in the open. You know what t…
you think I'm the one gatekeeping, here? holy cow. look in a mirror.
it is not the crap out there that I was complaining about. read my comment again. it is the crap (read: non-useful stuff) claiming to be useful.
please publish all the stuff you want. useful or not. I don't care. nor does anyone else.
don't publish anything crappy (again, I mean non-useful) and claim it is useful. that is my beef.
reading comprehension is important.

#13I love this! would love to see this used in a introduction to hardware course.

Where is this code ever claimed to be useful?

I understood your comment just fine. Yes you are the one gatekeeping. No, people still don't owe you high quality code.
If a repo claims to be something that it isn't, you can complain (to the extent that it's polite and that your complaint might well be ignored regardless). Better yet would be to contribute.
The last repository whose quality-to-claimed-usefulness ratio was bad enough that it got me to complain, I now maintain. Be the change you want to see, instead of muttering about man-hours.

#16wow, this is pretty cool!
Re: Show HN: Verilog2factorio
#17I would love to see some screenshots added to the README. I get that it compiles a Verilog design into a Factorio Blueprint, but what does the resulting factory look like? Is it just a bunch of wires and combinators?
> but what does the resulting factory look like? Is it just a bunch of wires and combinators?
It seems like... yes?

None. If someone is proud of something they worked hard on, why shouldn't they post it? What is the harm their hard work being public causes? It hurts literally no one.

Please follow the site guidelines that ask you (a) not to take HN threads on flamewar tangents, and (b) not to fulminate. Those things lead to less interesting conversation.
