The little bit I perused is very readable code.. like enjoyable to read. There are a lot of stylistic decisions that always felt "right" to me (general spacing, commenting style, horizontal alignment of equals signs, etc) -- but FWIW the first codebase I ever read (and probably imprinted on me indelibly) was DikuMUD, which is kind of in the same ballpark.
Anyways, very cool to see.
- bitwize 1y agoI... wouldn't confess to having perused illegally leaked Windows source, as it could taint you and make you ineligible to contribute to certain projects, like Wine.
- Kwpolska 1y agoThat's Wine's problem, not mine.
- arccy 1y agoif you read it but didn't confess, you'd still be ineligible, you'd be harming rather than helping wine if you did sneak in contributions.
- stewarts 1y agoWhat percentage of people reading HN do you think are actively contributing to WINE source? I'm going to go out on a limb and claim less than a tenth of a percent. And that, to me, is probably 10-100x too high of a threshold.
- arccy 1y agoWanting to and reading Windows source is fine. What isn't fine is the suggestion to not admit to it.
