did anyone else read this as OpenJDK?
- drivingmenuts 12y agoWhy is this even posted here? I don't have a particular problem with it - this just doesn't seem like HN material.
- geekishmatt 12y agoIt's a community project. It's opensource. It's HN material. What is your definition of "HN material".
- drivingmenuts 12y agoI was under the impression that HN was more startup focused, rather than straight up open-source-without-monetary-goal. I realize there's some sort of nebulous scale, but OP seems like something waaay down at the other end from true HN material.
- gojomo 12y agoHN was originally named 'Startup News', but the name changed to emphasize a wider focus. And, the first sentence of the 'Guidelines' linked below is: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups." So many people here are avid gamers, hobbyist game developers, or professional game developers that any source code related to a beloved title may find an enthusiastic audience.
- z3phyr 12y agoHN is still startup focused. But now, added to that we have an insight ranging from astrophysics, biology, rocketry, craft, art, lifestyle... all tied by one magic word "HACKER". Its a good thing and you must appreciate it.
- arsalanb 12y agoThis is a perfect example of how conversations on HN go completely off-topic, due to an irrelevant observation or the whims of one person. Edit: I'm not saying the person who made the comment is responsible completely, but has played a part in doing so.
