Most students who make it past philosophy 101 can form arguments for or against this position. For the rest, maybe all there is are tired 4chan memes circa 2010.

That is something to think on. Your mind immediately goes to the comedic styling of the dark underbelly of the internet when references are made to the content of an academic paper for the Center for Research on Women - written by one so well respected in the field. If 4chan is having to reach back to 1986 for material... well things are about to get very neon.

It is really interesting that you leap to the conclusion that I’m dismissing the idea that logic can contain bias based on who is practicing it as a 4chan meme. Really, I’m dismissing your clumsy interpretation of literature into a soundbite as a clumsy 4chan meme.

Perhaps it stings too much, and you’ve reacted badly to that line of reasoning. Perhaps stick to the memes?

There is nothing in my prior statement that hints at any sort of conclusion being drawn in regard to your dismissal. Since you are obviously familiar with the literature, because how else would you be able to evaluate my interpretation, it should be easy for you to point out where I've gone wrong. I'll wait here.

Bummer, detached. gg tomlock :)

You posted a bunch of memes rather than any clear opinions.

You’ve claimed that I’m comparing (“your mind goes back to”?) a fundamental aspect of postmodern thought to a 4chan meme, when really I’m comparing your clumsy soundbites to the content of 4chan memes.

You’re now suddenly asking for me to clarify my criticisms of your position when you’ve been deliberately vague.

You’re now demanding an education on contemporary thought.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I really like stories like this where somebody was overly curious about something and instead of just reading about it, he takes it apart and puts it back together to gain the kind of knowledge you will never find in a book/blog post.

Interestingly, the author still worked a lot with the docs (RFCs), not just with the software itself.

I believe this is important for any hands-on activity. Even though the documentation isn't your starting point, and may be too cumbersome and badly structured, sooner or later you should go back to them, now with more specific questions, picking out what you need.

I really enjoyed reading this, you should add an rss feed to your blog, I couldn't find anything to subscribe to.

Thanks! I'll try to add one later this week, I've been meaning to :)

That would be really great! It's always a pity when this happens:

  - I read a great article.
  - I have a look at the rest of the blog, seeing more interesting articles.
  - I see that the posting frequency is low. [1]
  - I want to add it to my QuiteRSS reader, but there is no Atom/RSS feed.
[1] Which is actually a very good sign! Daily posters are inevitably posting mostly crap, and I'm too tired of such blogs to pick out the cherries. I prefer authors who publish only their cherries in the first place, or at least provide a "cherry-only" feed.

author is a woman. edit: I guess, depending on how one reads your post, you didn't actually say author is a "he". Too quick on the trigger on my part.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11608610 and marked it off-topic.

Thanks!

Hint to all who participated in that ugly thread:

The inital comments were bad, but I found it even worse to see how many people engaged this, making that ugly thread larger and larger. It became so large that it finally displaced all the good, on-topic comments!

If you really want to show respect for the author, just downvote + flag the ugly comments, and be done with it. Then, go on and use your time to post something insightful about the author's article.

The actual code on GitHub:

https://github.com/tetrakai/miscellaneous/tree/master/ssh_cl...

Unfortunately, that was somewhat hidden in a small "here" link near the end of the article.

By the way, I believe to would be preferable to have a separate Git repository for that, rather than putting all mini projects ("miscellaneous code snippets") into a single repository.

Meta: the grey text thing which seems to be really popular right now? That's just unreadable. Third time today I inspect-elemented a blog post to turn the text coloring off. Edit: Finished reading, what a great project! I've looked for something like this before, but ssh documentation never quite contained what I was looking for, let alone providing a simple client to hack with. Many code snippets look a lot easier t…

Check your monitor gamma and white level using something like this: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gamma_calibration.php You might be crushing whites, or just have incorrect gamma.

Many users don't have expensive monitors, so they can't calibrate the monitor successfully. This is a problem when many web designers only test their site on a mac in a nicely lot office.
