No, some simple comments from some of my colleagues and friends were identified as bot comments. I'm sorry.
- mises 8y agoSo your colleagues all created accounts between forty and seventy minutes ago to make positive comments (except for one account that's existed for two years, but has only ever commented on this guy's stuff)? Even if this is the case, that's arguably just as much of a voting ring as bots.
- waruqi 8y agoTheir own account, only one.
- sctb 8y agoI'm sure the intentions were good, but this is outside what the community considers polite behavior. The FAQ mentions this about voting: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. If users aren't posting qua community members then the expectation is to provide a disclaimer.
- mises 8y agoOk, thanks. Also, awesome work; this looks very useful.
- tomcam 8y agoThe project has been around for 10 years and has almost 2500 stars on Github. The creator is Chinese but working in English as a courtesy and has used this body of code to create a number of fascinating projects, including an x86 emulator. What have you given to the programming world lately? EDIT: it was pointed out that this last comment was abusive. Sorry about that.
- mises 8y agoGood for him. I haven't known how to program very much for very long, and am a student, but so what? Am I not allowed to mention someone breaking rules? If you look above, I gave credit where credit was due, and only mentioned this near the bottom as a reply to a relevant comment. Quit white-knighting; I'm sure the author can defend himself.
- tomcam 8y agoDuly noted. I was hot-headed. I apologize.
- tomcam 8y agoWhat on earth is OP going to do with a “voting ring“ for Apache-copyrighted software? EDIT: I am being a complete jerk tonight. Sorry again.
- sctb 8y agoPlease stop.
