What most fascinates me about this whole kerfuffle is your adamant refusal to take responsibility for anything. All I've seen from you is continued insistence that nothing is your fault, accompanied by pages of nigh incomprehensible &

Okay. Now malware addons are signed, and nothing has been accomplished.

This "bizarre policy" was software signing, which is in fact a security feature. I don't understand what "getting their act together" means here, when you're posting it on an announcement that the problem has a

"Once the commercial world catches up to python 3..." fwiw, lack of PyPy support is one of the most common reasons I hear for people being leery of Python 3. Of course the people using PyPy aren't the people excited to mov

What do you do when a value passes between major versions which have different implementations of its type? What do you do with the `int` type, which was actually two separate types in Python 2? What do you do when the binary representati

The default text size in every browser, as far as I'm aware, is actually 16px. The text on Hacker News is 12px, because virtually every designer decides they know better than the browser settings. Which one are you thinking of as the

Overall, I don't think Doom 2 is actually much more abstract than Doom 1. I suspect the real difference is that all of Romero's levels were clumped together in the shareware episode of Doom 1, which is what everyone remembers. S

"Yes, hello, Nintendo? Let's talk business. I'm a starving artist and I want to sell some Pikachu buttons."

Why not? It's your work. You can't really be competing with Nintendo, because they can't create that same picture, because they don't employ you. Also you are extremely unlikely to be making a material impact on the b

You seem to be assuming that derivative work doesn't require hard work of its own. I tried to make the point that this game is itself a derivative of other things, without which it couldn't exist. Even if you did do that: why wou

Undertale doesn't have achievements, leaderboards, modding, or multiplayer. I think it has cloud save, but it's like a 6-hour game so that's not a particularly alluring feature here.

I'm not talking about putting someone else's art on buttons. I'm talking about artists putting their own art on buttons.

I hope you can imagine why I might not want to reinstall the OS and have to redeploy half a dozen other things, just so this particular one gets easier.

You lost me right around the point where you compared x86 vs x86_64 to a toaster and a teapot. Nothing about Ruby forum software necessitates a 64-bit kernel. (Which I have, incidentally.) According to Docker, nothing about Docker necessi

It also warns you if you try to use gmail to send mail, because gmail throttles you to only sending 2000 emails per 24 hours.

I observe that they'll happily charge you $99 to install it on your machine for you.

Actually I suggest writing less code, assuming that Docker is a whole lot of code and "what if we write down dependencies" is more interface than code.

The operative word is needs , since Docker is the only supported way to install this particular software. Which is, I cannot stress enough, a forum .

Sorry, I forgot to painstakingly document the innumerable hours I spent reading documentation (or trying to find critical documentation that didn't exist). I didn't think that would be a compelling read.

Yes, my OS is slightly "weird" for reasons I did not choose. Funny story: while I was trying to figure out what the hell RVM was doing, I mostly ran across people running OS X who had the same setup: 32-bit OS on a 64-bit chip.

This has never caused any problems before. I'd actually completely forgotten about it until RVM or Ruby or RubyGems (I haven't decided yet who to blame) choked. And it wasn't my choice — I started out 32-bit to save RAM on

The new coroutine stuff is really just syntactic sugar for "yield from", which has been around for a few versions now (and in turn is little more than syntactic sugar for "yield"ing repeatedly). But you don't retur

Forget what the article says, about some people not even being allowed to use their own names — what's really important here is that we not write anything that remotely sounds like blaming white people.
