I've been an AMD guy for years, mostly because I was a poor college student when they were getting their start, and AMD had the best bang for your buck around. Fast forward and my last purchase was an Intel for the first time in my lif

What are you doing that it's keeping your interest? I sometimes find myself getting tired of technology and while I love software development, I often think about not doing it anymore. After a while it gets old constantly dealing with

Which is of course a misunderstanding of my point. The question is going to be will you start telling me what my point is? because I'm not going to waste my time on you. No reasonable person who has been online for any length of time

no, this is courtesy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR5rIv4Qros If you're not willing to empathize enough to do this for another human being, then you're a terrible person who needs to work to be better.

It's just another variation of the "intelligent discourse" idea that gets bandied about quite often on these sorts of boards. We have every right to communicate, no one has verbally attacked anyone else, if it really bothers
248.
by mreiland 11y ago
And if I had responded with an absolute you would have attacked that instead. It isn't really about me using weasel words or swapping the i/e in your name, it's about you using character assassination in your head to convince

We're not discussing courtesy. I can excuse me and hello, nice to meet you all day long without a second thought. But I'm not going to spend my time trying to reconcile with someone who is being unfair to something I said when I

And we can all link hands and sing Kumbaya. I don't have the mental energy to give everyone I come across the benefit of the doubt. When it's all said and done, the people who don't take the time to try and understand me get

Does it really matter why they're so hateful? Maybe it's understandable, and maybe you can have empathy for the person, but whether they're indoctrinated or chose it, their actions, and their results, remain largely the same.

The point wasn't really about judaism specifically, but yes, I agree everyone should give thought to who they are.

by mreiland 11y ago
imo this just screams unintelligent person. Ok, fine, you hate jews, whatever, that's your opinion. But then you find out you're atleast partly jewish so you go whole hog into the jewish culture instead, and we're supposed to

Of course you stand by your point, how often do you see people online not stand by their point. That would be the unusual thing. It's been observed many times before that when someone online starts describing another persons stance

why is it shitty? I didn't take it as him implying that's how the CEO died, just that it's an issue that happens a lot in silicon valley and it's dangerous because you can die unexpectedly due to a heart attack.

I misunderstood you, I thought you were implying customers needed to use their brain, but looking closer you did say keyboard and mouse and not keyboard and chair :) I personally see it all the time, but I interact directly with my customer

More than that, the links he gave talked about the entire company doing support, not just the developers. In other words, he misunderstood the point being made. Putting the responsibility for tech support on your development team is how yo

HipHop doesn't support the entirety of the PHP runtime for exactly the reasons that have been laid out for you. That's reality from a company with a shitton of money and a vested interest in doing it successfully. They can't

Do you think you could be a little bit more condescendingly passive aggressive? If not, I'd appreciate it if you'd turn it up a notch. In for a penny, in for a pound.

by mreiland 11y ago
Are you implying it's a matter of getting your customers to use their brain? I freelance and therefore I can be a jackass without direct monetary repercussions, perhaps that's why I don't view it that way. Because I struggle

why?

by mreiland 11y ago
it isn't that black and white. Many times it's simply a misunderstanding, the developer isn't actually testing the right thing. Saying "works on my machine" is the opening to a dialogue that involves "can you

Many cartridges came with custom hardware, you have to implement them specifically, which implies special casing for the hardware, which sometimes implies special casing for the individual game.

if there's one thing I never expected it was to be downvoted for asking a legitimate question.
