There is a difference between what you say to and about volunteers working for free on their hobby and what you say about the work of a company famously known as "The Death Star" You want to work with people and the group says "yay and this is how we will work together" you do that or go away. This is entirely separate to stating a universal truth such as "Microsoft product blows because they do not care", "Oracle su…

I have no connection to Microsoft but I think this take is terrible. Part of maturing and growing up, for me, was realizing that there are really very few people who truly deserve scorn and disrespect[1]. Those I disagree with politically, mostly think they’re doing the right thing and they think that if people only understood, they’d change their tune (and that’s basically what I think of them). Those “big companies…

What would you say about people who knowingly do actions that will lead to widespread harm and future deaths even though they're killing no one directly?

Murdering can be done very well without ever having to touch weapon.

oh god... he has a humongous AI generated PR for julia too https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl/pull/180

I had $1000 in Claude credits and went to town.

Yes, I made mistakes along the way.

The original loop is: while (time() != timeout) {;} The fixed loop is: while (time() < timeout) {;}

I see. I did not realize SECONDS was a built in bash variable.

Me neither. I am over 40 and did not know this. Feels good to learn something today, in an unexpected place!

So much vague outrage over nothing. That CI system created by so called monkeys is the one of the best free CI service in the world. Not everyone has the millions of dollars like Zig Foundation to create their own CI servers. After that they appreciate GitHub Sponsors, but say it is now a complete liability just because a project leader left. What are the actual changes? Any new rule? But no, it is now a "liability"…

You are not talking a out github actions? Monkeys would have done it better.

I'm not sure that your unsupported assertion represents a substantive contribution to this discussion. Why do you believe it's not cool, munchler?

It's bully behavior. It reminds me of the creeps in school that punched me, shoved me into lockers, tried to assault me. I almost killed myself as a kid because of bullies. Some people never grow out of that, it seems.

Ziglang is a small organization supported by donations, Microsoft is one of the largest companies in the world. If anything, they're punching up.

Calling people losers isn't classy, but if I were a well-paid Microsoft employee I'd laugh all the way to the bank that some community funded purist called me that. If it's supposed to be bullying he isn't very good at it.

Is it really? In this example, could you not see anything wrong with calling employees losers and monkeys, until someone linked you the CoC?

To add to it, the post is still calling people losers and monkeys, so the CoC is clearly not working properly.

Yes the same way laws don't eradicate delinquency and crime magically. Humans are humans.

It is still not a proper fix. It is still busy-looping 100% CPU. Given that Github Actions is quite popular, probably wasting large amount of energy. But probably good at generating billable Actions minutes. One can only hope that not many people use sleeps to handle their CI race conditions, as that itself is also not a proper fix.

Clearly the job for a microservice. Accept number of seconds to wait as url, return content after that many seconds. Then just use curl in runner.

Brb founding a SaaS startup. I’ll call it cloudsleep dot io of course. After our Series B I’ll buy the .com.

Only task to do before lining up investors is how can I weave AI into our product?

> it’s abundantly clear that the talented folks who used to work on the product have moved on to bigger and better things, with the remaining losers eager to inflict some kind of bloated, buggy JavaScript framework on us in the name of progress. > More importantly, Actions is created by monkeys This writing really does not reflect well on Zig. If you have technical issues with Github, fine: cite them. But leave ad ho…

Look at the issue linked. While I don't think that language is preferable, at some point we need to call out terrible and lazy code.

Might as well get rid of laws against murder because sometimes people commit murder anyway?

>If you called Netanyahu a monkey because of his Gaza genocide, most people who are pro-palestine will try to cancel you! Not because they think highly of him, but because it hurts the cause more than it helps. Your reading of the current political climate is very different to mine.

I don't know about that. in my view, you can call him a murderer, genocidal, sociopath, anything related to his actions. But calling him an epithet, comparing him to an animal is a different thing. Even physical violence is more tolerable. of course people can say whatever they want in private, i'm talking about public discourse. terms like "monkey" and "dog" have been used across cultures to mean really nasty things…

> comparing him to an animal

homo sapiens is an animal species.
