- pclmulqdq 4y agoI think it's more like, "when it gets code correct, that code is probably stolen from someone."
- joxel 4y agoMaybe it’s because I’m not a CS person by trade, but the whole idea of stolen code is so stupid. There’s only a couple ways to write a function to do X, just because some asshole did it first and put it on GitHub, I’m stealing if I write the same function? Fuck off
