I'm not being user hostile. I'm being cognizant that the skill levels of users is extremely wide, and to best serve everyone from a UX standpoint, it's best to limit the characters accepted in the input. It protects the user, helps them avoid mistakes.
- guappa 2y agoFrom reading your comments, you're extremely user hostile and I hope to not come across anything you work on because they are the very definition of antipatterns
- francislavoie 2y agoIt's a decimal number field. There's no reason to have any other characters than [0-9\.-]* You're overreacting. You're attacking me for no reason.
- guappa 2y agoExcept if one copied it and it has a space in the beginning and your amazing script won't let one paste it.

- AnimalMuppet 2y agoNot everyone who disagrees with you is lying. Accusing people is a bad look here on HN. "Assume good faith" is the standard. You can say "You're wrong". "You're lying", though, is almost never appropriate, and is, in itself, quite hostile.
- hluska 2y agoAgain “users are too stupid”. That’s remarkably hostile to users and doesn’t belong.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoFine. But "you're lying" is also hostile, and also doesn't belong. (I see that you edited that bit out of your post, so thanks for listening...)
- francislavoie 2y agoPlease read my other comments. I'm not using "stupid" in the derogatory sense. I'm using it as a recognition of the skill/knowledge gap between technical and non-technical users.
