To be fair the reader is warned thusly:
"Some of the nicest bits of iPhone programming are included in the public iPhone frameworks but not in the SDK. Apple's unofficial policy on this is clear: You can use these items in your programs, but you do so at your own risk. Your code may break at each firmware release. Striking the balance between risk and reward if up to you."
- ObieJazz 18y ago+1 for "thusly" edit: I guess I'm still getting the hang of HN etiquette. I was impressed by the clint's usage of an unusual word and got downmodded for expressing that concisely. So, next time do I use a complete sentence to express my admiration, or do I avoid any discussion of word choice / writing style?
- allenbrunson 18y agothe rule is: if you're not adding something to the conversation, then don't post. "+1", "lol", and other "attaboy" type comments, including yours, should be expressed with an upvote.
- tlrobinson 18y agoHe brings up a good point though. I'm guessing if he posted something along the lines of "I am impressed with your usage of the word "thusly"" rather than "+1 for "thusly"" he would not have been downvoted, even though they're approximately equivalent and neither adds much to the conversation.
