It's simple to be mean on HN. You just have to hide it in some layers of passive aggression and snark. I guess now you need to add another layer. Yay.
HN has got an army of people with overinflated sense of self and importance. I guess people calling them on their self-delusional bullshit is "gratuitous negativity". What a bunch of assholes.
Great! My shadow ban has been kind of subtle on the normal (desktop) HN version, but it was kind of too obvious on the mobile version. I think HN can do much better passive aggressive-wise, and waste people's time even more, on the mobile version. I intend to delve into that code base so that the mobile version can be as cryptic and still-works-but-kind-of-stand-off-ish like the desktop, with random long loading times, "you're submitting too fast" messages, shadow banned comments, etc.
Again, thanks for bringing that to my attention! Passive aggressive bans will soon be a force on mobile, too!
The meaning is clear enough: 98% of its renewable energy that Norway itself uses is from renewables. And "energy" probably means electricity grid. It was probably very clear to you too, but you'd rather feign obtuseness in order to make a point.
You just had to state that, even though it has nothing to do with the rest of your comment? Oh right, I guess that's how flame igniting driveby-comments tend to work - "Once again, startup incubators are way overrated. This forum looks cool. OK, see ya!"
> [These are my personal opinions, not those of my employer.]
Why would you even need to state that? It's not obvious who you are, or your employer. And you haven't mentioned anything related to any company you might work for. And even if you did, are all your thoughts around programming by default the property of your employer, simply because you happen to be employed as a programmer (I presume)?
Plan9 once again show themselves to be the most Unix(-like) - omit the pesky vowels and get a short and sweet unpronounceable (by itself) name with only constants.
I am not surprised _at all_. Everything you could ever imagine that might feel "second nature", is wrong according to someone (aka you're doing it wrong). So you should (re)learn it from someone, maybe at a price, and certainly at a price with regards to time. Thanks for proving my point.
> My native language is not English, just in case anyone feels I want to force English down your throat.
But you speak fluent English, so it's basically the same thing if you don't care about preserving your own language for cultural reasons. You're just as much of a privileged, spoilt child that is demanding that the rest of the world should get in line with something you already know, as native English speakers with the same demand are.
> On the other hand, in a statically typed language there is necessarily a distinction between code that is executed at runtime and (although we often don't talk about it this way) code that is executed at compile time.
Is the distinction or separation necessarily obvious? Statically typed languages which have a unified term- and type-level seem to get a bit subtle in this regard, since a type can be used as a value. And Idris passes proofs around, and has to use proof erasure in order to not let it infect the runtime: proofs can remain until run-time if you're not careful.
I am asking this as a question since I don't have enough experience with such languages to really know myself.
A friend wanted to become a lawyer in LA (he's not American). He travelled there once, and he changed his mind about that for some reason. That saved him some time from starting to study American law, I guess.
Ugh, my bad. I don't even know why I thought it was a landing page to begin with. Still, the same argument applies: for a personal website by a non-celebrity (status), it's pointless indirection to have to (for newcomers) explicitly have to ask for how to access other sites, and accessing other sites is the whole point of the website (besides the "novelty"). Oh, that and changing the 'terminals' background colour, I guess.
