Sad, silly and stupid. A clear example of broflake syndrome.

Suggesting Python2 to beginners should be considered harmful at this point: 2020 is just behind the corner...

WebGPU is just vaporware...

Time for ImgTech to go Linux/Mesa friendly maybe? With an open source graphic stack they could become a great choice for projects like Raspberry Pi and other hw manifacturers: imagine a Vulkan-ready linux laptop that combines a rpi Compute module with the graphic potential from their GPUs... Hope they would be this brave.
Re:Ask HN: Which linux distro at home? on Wednesday March 08, 2017 @11:05AM (#13821134)
My choice is Antergos, an easy-to-install ArchLinux based distro. It is just a collection of cherry picked pkgs from Arch repositories, with fewer customization in comparison to Manjaro (also Arch-based). If you want a less "rolling" distro, Manjaro is a really good choice.

Nice idea! Is it iranian? Is there anything similar for Arabic?
Sad but true... The problem with Vala is that it has never escaped from Gnome orbit...

Maybe Zig[1] would be a good replacement for Vala usecases, one day?

Re:Ask HN: How do you deal with haters? on Friday August 05, 2016 @03:57AM (#12230702)
Stupid people's mom is always pregnant, so yes, it is normal to meet stupid people on internet as much as in real life. The only way to deal with them that I've found is: smile and wit. Use sarcasm to smash them to the ground while being absolutely polite. It is really satisfactory (and "super effective!).
Please tell me that this is some kind of (sad) joke...

Don't use this one, popcorn-time.se it's closed source and potentially full of spyware/malware...

Use the Community Edition based on popcorntime.io instead, its source is open on github!

It's so sad... We all lose today, while the violents and the machists just got their legitimation...
Because Palestine was not enough...
Re:The “8th” Programming Language on Wednesday October 07, 2015 @06:01AM (#10345080)
From the faq (http://8th-dev.com/faq.html):

q) Are there any restrictions on who can use 8th?

a) Yes. Due to Israeli export laws, residents of the following countries may neither use nor purchase 8th: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, North Korea, Palestinian Authority, Sudan, and Syria.

WTF! This is the very deal-breaker for me...
