  That wasn't an argument... It was an expression of confusion as to why the author would say what they said.
  • ghuntley 7y ago
    Yup.

    It's not. This thing: https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d6955275f#gistcomment-2957376 https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d695... is not an 'expression of confusion', it's an attempt at offtopic shitstirring and mockery. It's kind of dumb in the gist - keeping it up on HN (where it's sensibly forbidden) is worse.

      So one person said yup, and the other person said nope. ;-) I agree it served to make the author look a bit foolish.
