I think you kind of missed the sarcasm.
- bcook 11y agoIf only there were a sarcasm punctuation... Sadly, we only have emoticons. ;)
- xxs 11y agothere are quotes around, should more than enough.
- bcook 11y agoIt should (be), maybe, but is a mistake worthy of downvotes? Probably, I guess. Lesson: Never misinterpret, especially when feeding the ego.
- singold 11y agoIt's kind of customary around HN to end sarcastic comments with /s
- logfromblammo 11y agoI frequently use the tilde ('~') for this purpose. Others use "/s". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_punctuation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_punctuation Most of the marks historically used for insincerity or irony would fail today because they cannot be typed on any keyboards.
- bcook 11y agoHmm... I only (mis)use the tilda as an expression of uncertainty, like "~130Mbit".
- dragonwriter 11y agoThat's not a misuse, indicating that a value is a loose approximation is a major use of the tilde.
