When there is a standard and someone doesn't follow it, it is said that the standard has been violated.
It follows that when someone implements functionality that doesn't follow POSIX, POSIX has been violated.
There's nothing wrong with the statement.
- youdontknowtho 8y agoHe accused Lennart of hurting people with no proof. Is that reasonable?
- cassianoleal 8y agoPlease point out where in my comment I make any reference to reasonability.
- youdontknowtho 8y agoApologies for that part, then. I just don't see standards compliance like other people do. Personally, I don't see standards as things that imply some kind of morality. They are tools to accomplish a goal. sometimes other goals may supersede their usefulness.
- cassianoleal 8y agoThat is fair enough. I have not argued against your point of view. My comment was more on the linguistic side of things. You criticised the parent's language saying that "you don't violate a standard" because it "isn't a law". I was just pointing out that you do indeed violate a standard because it's a standard, and saying that does not add any kind of moral or passion value - it's just using the language the way it's intended.
