Is this in response to my other comment or this direct comment? Nothing about the comment you are responding to here is attacking you. Your understanding (or writing, as I said) is flawed. Maybe you aren't a noob and you just aren't expressing yourself well enough.
Your comment wasn't "unfriendly" it just wasn't enlightening. I did not assume you were an idiot and no where in my comment did I insinuate that.
Nothing about an .emacs.d proves you are a competent emacs user - I've seen some hideous init files come from Emacs noobs and hideous init files come from power users!
Depends on what you mean by jokes - Hacker News (less so now than a few years ago) tends to be a serious forum for discussion; reddit-esque joking around is both frowned upon and discouraged. Although, TBH I didn't see any "jokes" coming from you at all. I wasn't responding to your jokes (unless you're talking about my other comment in response to you).
- mnemonicsloth 15y agoFirst, phrases like "your understanding is flawed" and "maybe you just aren't expressing yourself well enough" are way outside the bounds of civil conversation. Second, how would you unpack this sentence? "Aren't black and white basically the same color these days?"
