I know. I hold myself to a rule that I never comment if I didn't read the article.
I made an exception with this, because the "article" is simply a 5kloc header file. I only read some of it.
I don't have a problem with the submission but I don't know why you would expect someone to read enough of the header to realize that the opening line in the header saying "OpenGL 1.1-style" is underselling it and it's actually a "pretty decent OpenGL 1.1 software implementation".
- kragen 1y agoThat's great, but structurally, the recency bias of HN tends to bury comments by people who follow rules like yours.
- furyofantares 1y agoI don't think making sarcastic remarks about someone failing to read enough of this header to work out that it's a pretty complete opengl implementation contrary to the implication at the start of the header is really doing much to fight the problem of people not reading articles before commenting.
- kragen 1y agoYour comment makes ne wonder who you think is making sarcastic remarks. I'm not. Probably "Congrats for only reading the header"?
- furyofantares 1y agoYes, that is the comment at the top of this chain - which I criticized as a very snarky reply given the specifics of this post.
- kragen 1y agoYes, sorry to be dense.
