- newen 7y agoThere are lots and lots of people who have claimed that porting to python 3 is easy. Stop twisting the truth.
- finnthehuman 7y agoHacker News gets some of the smartest people willing to jump into a comment section, but its also full of uninformed idiots talking out of their ass and trying to sound authoritative. I won’t defend them, but complaining about something someone else posted in another thread isn’t gonna get you too much sympathy either.
- newen 7y agoYeah, complaining. It's irritating when idiots try to "win" arguments in the internet by spouting completely obvious bullshit.
- deckar01 7y agoOP changed their comment to clarify they were referring to HN discussions historically and not just this thread. I can't edit my comment now, and I apologize for the confusion. I would encourage you to review the YC comment guidelines [0] and engage in more thoughtful discussion in the future.
