This article made me switch to Gentoo Linux. I'm only replying to you comment because it's the top voted one.

Correction: "you" should be "your"

I would like to piggyback off the original comment, and disagree. >People on here don't appreciate humor How could you possibly come to such a conclusion? I appreciate humor, and I am sure others do as well.

I think that everyone likes humor, we just also know what isn't funny.

It matters in high performance Python.

Just sort the comments randomly, as long as their karma is >=0, and place the negative-karma comments at the bottom. Done. :P This algorithmic craze is too clever for its own good. It is particularly evident in the false-positive bans. (And I swear, it's scary how HN joke comments are indistinguishable from the real ones.)

want my dotfiles? I added a cool hack that lets you do hjkl by rubbing your penis on the ipad screen. You have to map it with your DNA though.

you should have checked github first. I'm using dotfiles that allows me to hjkl by tea-bagging, which requires less precision than my "stylus". Its called "dotmynuts," and its really active - 400 pull requests in the last 10 minutes.

The parody is funny. The comments here are hilarious . I fear I will never again be able to tell if an HN commenter is just jerking my chain, no matter how sincere they seem.
