- tehaugmenter 11y agoThis is certainly interesting. Too bad it doesn't suffer from the same robustness the stackoverflow link had. I for one get frustrated at work, using git on windows, when I try to create a .gitignore file or something of the sort and windows bitches at me saying "You must type a file name". At least there are easy workarounds for it, but explorer is just retarded.
- droopyEyelids 11y agoI know it's difficult, but you should start using more descriptive words instead of 'retarded'. I personally don't care, but a lot of people end up holding it against us retarded-sayers.
- tehaugmenter 11y agoYeah from time to time it's hard to remember how much harsher HN is with comments compared to reddit.

- ossreality 11y agoTHAT is why ~/ gets so littered? :(
- RexRollman 11y agoThat's interesting because in playing with 9Front (Plan9) yesterday, I noticed that rc's ls doesn't ignore dotfiles. I guess they fixed it there.
