Kicking up is very different from kicking down. Zig is not kicking down here.

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?

Describe the task you're waiting for as text, and let an LLM pick the number of seconds for each request. More expensive the better model you clearly need for this. There, your AI pitch.

Based on this rationale nobody should use Linux either =))

Linus losing is temper over a contributor messing up is not the same as calling people who maintain a free service (github - unless Zig was paying) monkeys. Correct me by all means, but did Linus call someone a personally denigrating name like that? Either way, I like linux but I've avoided operating systems like freebsd and openbsd for less, so I agree. I've said plenty enough against Linus when he did lose his temp…

Calling the Github clowns monkeys is being charitable.

I agree that's a funny coincidence. But, what about the change it wanted to commit? It is at least slightly interesting. It is doubly interesting that changing line 638 neither breaks nor fixes any test.

There's a tweet with a Claude screenshot with a bit more context (linked on the PR). I don't know enough about the project to know if it makes any sense, but the Zig contributor seemed confused (at least about the title).

This one https://x.com/joelreymont/status/1990981118783352952?s=20

I made the mistake of poorly documenting that PR.

> You already admitted he violated the CoC - so he is in the wrong here I didn't say that. This is what I said - "But yeah... CoC may apply to him too. So you've got a good point. I don't know if the CoC applies to their website. If you know more and if it does, a violation of CoC should be reported on their issue tracker." Emphasis: "may", "I don't know if", "If you know more".

You did say that. You performed a stealth edit and modified your comment, but fortunately I quoted what you originally said in my previous comment: > But yeah... CoC applies to him too. So you've got a good point Since you’ve just proven yourself to not be arguing in good faith, this will be my last response to you.

It's not a stealth edit. It's an open edit. HN allows edits for 2 hours for good reason. I misspoke first when I thought the CoC applies to him. Obviously I don't know for sure since I hadn't read the CoC. So I corrected myself to be less sure.

But you chose to reply to my outdated message although at the time you were replying my message said that I wasn't sure whether the CoC applies or not.

I'm sure getting called a monkey will stop them from ever making a mistake again.

If this was true, teachers and trainers would have the easiest job in the world: just insulting their pupils would stop them from failing an exam, race or whatever again.

The comment is clearly sarcasm.

God this entire thread is just people defending him as “a breath of fresh air” and “just using human language”. There is something in people that makes them enjoy seeing others belittled like this. A complete lack of empathy, because no one would like to be treated this way themselves, but are perfectly happy seeing others treated this way. One commenter justifies it by saying “if I’m fucking up, it’s ok to speak to…

> A complete lack of empathy...

...for one of the largest of most toxic IT companies in the history if IT?

Spare me, please. Microsoft is the last legal entity in the universe you should feel empathy for.
