We're really going to act like the entire world doesn't have issues with this. Given this is a worldwide institution dealing with this, I think you are both casting the new too small. Famously before either the US or Western world

Sure, but they aren't leaving the field. There are plenty of stoppages in game already which take as much time. In that sense it's nothing new. Do non-fans view it as changing to 4 "quarters"? I'm not sure most peo

It's still two halves there is just another short stoppage time in which players stay on the field, the same as every foul, goal, and variety of other timing based decisions in football.

How does it violate the laws of the game? Every single break time decision in football is arbitrary already.

The original post mentioned people that weren't fans, though. Who are we talking about that are "football people" but not fans. I'm not trying to be dense, I just don't know which audience this is.

I'm not arguing for ad breaks, I'm saying non-fans would not even be aware this is something new. This is the thing that is too much? I just don't get it. The entire thing is a spectacle to sell ads.

What's new? I thought it has been known as a big-money thing for some time now.

by orangedog 3mo ago
Why would non-fans even care? It was a 3 minute break, non-fans would not have any idea that you were going for 2 halves to 4 "quarters". I think this is the kind of thing purists care about but most people don't, most don&#x

They're writing about a child that died, I don't think they hav any other motive other than the reader to feel sadness or outrage and given it is a dead child, they should not.

by orangedog 3mo ago
That's not what happened here. The team was too ambitious and not careful enough but they were not trying to kill the child. I just don't think there is any reason to put that additional context into what happened here.

Who is talking like this? Presumably the people looking forward to next year's models find some value out of this year's. You seem to want it to collapse, but that's not the argument you person you're responding to is ma

Yes, it's just tiring to hear the same meme putdowns about how this Winter we're all going to suffer when we probably have less brownouts etc than a lot of other places. I remember 2011 but I didn't actually have any issues w

That happened in 2021 and we haven't had similar issues since. I haven't experienced a power grid failure since then.

The only point I was making is that 40% is a huge number.

by orangedog 3mo ago
Recent survey showed on HN that 60% of adults in the US dislike it which means that 40% either don't care or like it 40 is a massive number, you're not that far from a coin flip. I don't think any of us have a good read on ho

It's not about kid gloves. There is a ways of reponing to this which isn't this ugly. That's part of being a leader.

I've been using Zig for years. Is this not a discussion forum?

You can call it superficiality but there are just some of us who believe that treating people right is the core of this. You're viewing that as some kind of superficial virtue signaling but if we're not treating people with respec

He's turned that down over time and has said as much. I figure taking the most successful project of the 90s and using that as a polestar for of newer projects who re trying to get and keep traction over other projects (see this thread

I have engaged with the Zig community. You're saying that people should not come to conclusions based on what they just read.=, from the founder nonetheless.

You have to if you give a shit about the community you are leading, yes. You're not operating as a private figure in that role, everything you do affects the community and it is blind or selfish to act otherwise.

It is not about good tone it's about not being hateful and rude. Why is this that hard to pick apart? Why do devs believe being rude is somehow a sign of honesty? They are orthogonal. This post needed none of the mean-spirited attacks

How can you say that a post which has the criticisms it does is kind?

by orangedog 3mo ago
Surveys show that 60% of US adults don't like it which means 40% either don't care or do. I'd advise not getting your ideas about sentiment towards it from places like HN which are very biased and unrepresentative places of a

I just think you're fighting a losing battle. I'm pretty apathetic about it because I've never wanted to do anything but give away my stuff anyway. It only has value in my/your head most of the time. I think how deeply y

He's not operating personally as the leader of a major project.

This entire thread puts me out on devs. I stuns me that there are this many people who either excuse or cheer on being hateful. Wanting to use a project becaues the author was this rude....what? Just a complete lack of emotional intelligenc

He's leading the community. Not having basic professional does indeed kill them vibe for some of us. When is he going to pile on somebody else he disagrees with?
