Reread the original post: > I have to fix bugs before the code can run. I'm very curious how did the author run that code with the bugs.

You're right, I misread that part.

  throwaway287391 it's hilarious how much you value your own opinion. You feel it's important your interlocutor knows you know you were corrected, while remaining anonymous. This is like, the funniest thing i've seen all week. You should run for office. _edit_ Mmmm delicious downvotes. How many alts do you have throwaway287391? i don't think dang would or should expose you. But it is even more funny to me that you would log in with an alt (2?!), specifically to downvote. Anyway.I'm sure with some practice you'll get better at trolling little buddy.

    I don't have much to say to most of this, but I'll point out that I didn't and couldn't have downvoted you as none of my throwaways have >=500 karma or whatever the threshold is.

      > I'll point out that I didn't and couldn't have downvoted you as none of my throwaways have >=500 karma I'll take you at your word. You want to just drop in and drop bombs and pretend that the information you are presenting is in some sense useful. Other folks pointed out that you are wrong. But you also want the reputation. You want the respect for revising your opinion. You're you from your perspective, but from everyone else's perspective you're not you, you're the basest troll that has ever posted on HN, because you have no rep, no history, not provenance. It's funny to me, because you want it both ways. It's pretty hilarious. I shouldn't feed the trolls. I know better. Enjoy being a complete waste of time to everyone that glances at your writing!

        Man, I hate when I get dragged into these sorts of intense emotional downs by silly internet conversations with strangers. FWIW I undowned your posts; internet karma is about communication/moderation, and sometimes has the opposite of the intended effect. I've been there. Anyways, find some time to pet a dog/cat or fly a kite today.

    FWIW, I downvoted because because you somehow managed to break about half of the HN comment guidelines [1] in a single comment, in particular: * Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. * When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." * Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. * Please don't make insinuations about astroturfing. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried, email us and we'll look at the data. * Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
