I'm not sure if that's the same thing. Linus usually criticizes things in a way that actually points out the flaws. This guy is just essentially saying "LOL U SUCK"
LOL U SUCK. Kidding, though some of the threads I read involving C++/C with Linus involved are so childish they are actually entertaining. Example: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/5791...

To my (naive) eyes, your examples act as a compelling advertisement for her library. The sed/xargs/etc. examples look increasingly like impossible-to-memorize line noise to me, while the --include, --exclude etc. options in `replace` are comprehensible and seem to follow standard command line argument practices. Again, this is from a very entry-level unix tools perspective, but there it is. It also seems to me that r…
Impossible to memorize? I wrote all these examples from memory. I tested them in a shell and had a single error (sed -ir needed to be changed to sed -ri because -i takes a glued "suffix" argument). I really don't think it is that hard to memorize the basic find/xargs options. You only have to memorize them once in your lifetime. They are a basic cornerstone of a Unix skillset. By comparison, I often forget the custom…
That replace library does what it's supposed to do - it replaces shit easily.
Don't like it - don't use it.
If people want to do more - then they'll figure it out for themselves. For everyone who already knows more - eat some humble cake.
See how that works. And she has other interesting projects as well.
For years I have been terrified about putting my code on Github for fear of rage and retribution from the programmer community. This is a real problem for us amateur coders who enjoy hacking but don't necessarily have the chops to go head-to-head with the serious guys.
I imagine the other side. What if there is that one person 20 years from now that was looking for a piece of code and finally end up on your idea from 20 years prior.
> Steve Klabnik @steveklabnik > @harthvader @zeeg nothing's _wrong_ with it, but I don't want to build my app on top of others' code who are at this level of understanding This message [1] in particular is absolutely disgusting.

> What does he even mean by saying that he doesn't "want to build my app" on top of harthur's code? Nobody asked him to I can't speak for him, but based on another comment further down ("I'll be over here in not-node"), it read like a dig at Node itself by proxy / extension. > Yes, let's take the opportunity to condescendingly insult their mental competency. Indeed. This type of behavior is almost never justified, bu…
Thanks so much for pointing that out (and thanks Heather for writing it :P)! I would have missed it otherwise, and I have always wanted to play with neural nets as well as bayesian filters.. this seems very friendly for me to get into, so it made my week(end) if not more :)
Steve Klabnik's apology: https://twitter.com/steveklabnik/status/294302391279435776 https://twitter.com/steveklabnik/status/294302539510337536 He posted this ~2 years ago: http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2010-09-24-trolling-is-a-... I guess he's still working on his communication skills.

Steve Klabnik has now also posted an apology http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2013-01-23-node
And unfortunately it is exactly the "I am sorry if you were offended" type.

I understand your point, but "makes my eyes bleed" is not a typical comment from a neuro-atypical person. The neuro-typical can be assholes too.
"I understand your point, but "makes my eyes bleed" is not a typical comment from a neuro-atypical person." Why not, out of curiosity?

Compare the cause-and-effect of both the situations. One can send someone to jail for life and destroy their finances, reputation etc... the other can hurt someones feelings. Contending the latter should be addressed before (or even comparatively) to the former is what I take issue with.
Do you really think Paul Graham doesn't know the difference between someone being insulted on Twitter and someone being threatened with federal prison time? You don't think maybe it's you that are missing something, and not him? Because if my response to something he wrote depending on him not noticing the difference between prison and twitter, I would worry that I was missing something. No, wait, I wouldn't; I like…
