- dont__panic 4y agoIt might be a smidge snarky, but it's literally the only justification Signal provides for adding this feature to their app. Why is it not OK to analyze their reasoning?
- pvg 4y agoBecause it's not analysis, just generic sneering. Picking N boring things to complain about is not any better than picking one boring thing to complain about.
- dont__panic 4y agoThanks for calling this out. I was grumpy and unfair. I'll remember this in the future and try to do better.
- pvg 4y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1096677 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1096677 I wouldn't write this today either - it was a much, much smaller HN and a smaller nerd internet. Although amusingly enough, the Rails release notes were edited after that showed up on HN but I don't think Signal is going to give you even that satisfaction, sadly.
