I apologise, my interpretation was naïve. Not being familiar with the intent of the person I was responding to (directly or by experience) and not knowing the how to correctly interpret the POSIX standard, I was trying to politely re-focus the thread.
I'm lucky enough not to have to spend much time thinking about identity issues or being the target of bigotry and I suppose that was reflected in my previous comment.
Maybe it's telling that you're here making fantastic contributions for FOSS and people who are trying to bring you down are only making invalid claims about standards compliance.
I'm a big fan of yours and I'm really sorry that I contributed to that incident.
- jart 2y agoThanks and don't worry about it. The Hacker News community has always been so welcoming and supportive to me. I'm really lucky to have had the opportunity to serve you all these last four years. If you think this was an incident, you should have seen 4chan /g/ last year. Thankfully things have been going reasonably well for me since then. Ever since publishing https://justine.lol/matmul/ https://justine.lol/matmul/ I appear to have flipped the hater bit (see Paul Graham's blog) in the heads of even my most ardent detractors. So even on /g/ the disrespect has become somewhat rare these days.
