No slurs. No offenses. No bad words, no cursing, etc. I’m not going to paraphrase because the threads were erased. I don’t have most of the comments actually. Mail me at my username at duck.com and I’ll send you the handles of the account,

About the ‘nature’ of the comments, see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33577471 They were not offensive, they were not disrespectful, they were actually valid complaints, and I also used to participate a lot, an

I said in another comment, most of the comments were on the Python extension repo for vscode, about the quality of the extension and feature choices, many people were criticizing as well, and the trend of moving towards closed source.

Some messages could be viewed as flame/kind of abusive in the sense of criticizing a msft open source project, and they were absolutely not made in the company’s name. Obviously I deeply regret any trouble they could have caused. Msft

No. And also they banned me before I started working for the hedge fund. Previously I worked at Siemens, we did not use GitHub, we had a self hosted Gitlab instance.

Well, in US law they might not be. But in other countries, is more complicated than that. In Brazil, those kinds of bans behaviors are not ok under consumer protection laws, and also their TOS where they don’t guarantee anything even for pa

I can’t avoid contributing to work projects though.

Well, there’s also the point that a person might even regret comments they made! But the ban is forever, there is zero transparency, and no appeal.

Unfortunately I’m in Brazil, GitHub does not operate in Brazil. I’m thinking of suing a distributor or the local Microsoft subsidiary.

Work and home IP address, possibly. Work domain. Vscode settings possibly.

I tried that. It’s the third account they terminated. Whether or not the comment warrants a permaban or not, I’d gladly delete it, avoid the behavior in the future, and also clearly regret it!

Tell HN: GitHub banned me permanently

The pypy folks and a bunch of other alternative python implementations have pooled together and are working on a soft fork of the c extension api to enable existing established projects that make heavy use of the c api to better work with t

State of the art python packaging must include support for common use cases such as conda+machine learning. It’s incredible how even Julia’s Pkg.jl supports better python packaging in combination with conda than the official python packagin

At first I thought Julia could fill role, but it has many problems with correctness (bugs), proper documentation, tooling…

What languages have you tried, and what in them did not work? What’s wrong with casting variables to mutate their type?

Now, all we need for crystal to succeed is numpy, scipy, something pandas-like, and of course matplotlib (not plots, matplotlib). By the way, how are we on data-science friendly IDEs? Debugging? Automatic thorough documentation generator? T

The only thing I miss about the vscode setup is support for a decent PDF viewer (not sumatra), and that magnifier loupe thing that other editors have.

Vscode is all dandy and fine until you try to debug something and inspect an object in memory only to find out that msft programmers hard coded the object representation as a string [Object object] cause they couldn’t be bothered to properl
